Fine, if you can afford it and you're ready to spend the time.
Finer, if you don't know the stuff.
Still, this is not music from The Secret Museum. Not yet.

Sun Ra and David Murray are kind of secret, in a way. But, granted, not as Secret as The Museum.

Hey, they managed to crack the 21st C. Barely. VV writing for its own generation? Murray being the young guy at 51?

What's to discuss? That's the lamest excuse for a "jazz supplement" I've seen in quite a while. Take a few non-controversial artists more or less at random and have a writer muse briefly on a selection of their albums. OK, if it's pitched at readers not yet very familiar with jazz, it could serve as an introduction. But there are many other resources out there for beginners. Surely a supposedly hip New York weekly with a long history of jazz journalism could have come up with something that took a little more effort than this. Thumbs down.

the Voice hasn't been anything resembling hip for a couple of decades now, and the recent sale of the company and personnel changes aren't helping anything. the New York Times has become by far the "hippest" publication in town regarding most kinds of music (Time Out New York is also good at times, thanks largely to Steve Smith), and that's not even a backhanded compliment, the Times' output in the last few years has been pretty impressive.

This may be the most successfully improvised group performance in the history of music. (about Sun Ra´s album "strange strings")

Wow!!! That was an impressive statement!

Agreed 100$. Mos tof it reads like an amatuer version of the AMG.
