so john is here from sunny porto and it's a rainy grey day (and the binmen are circling - hail the binmen).
last night they watched summer of soul an account of the 1969 harlem cultural festival. which is amazing (if not as heart-breakingly beautiful as the aretha franklin film). there's no jimi hendrix but there's a brief clip of sonny sharrock playing (and of course sly and the family stone).
and there's nina simone (who is properly righteous). olatunji - ray barretto - mongo santamaria
it's also the anniversary of john coltrane recording OM in seattle and its bandcamp friday (so you know what you've got to do).
