A few links....

The New York Sun has an article up about Anthony Braxton, ostensibly as a preview of his upcoming Iridium run and release of his new box set.

A band I'd never heard of, Voltress, has a new album out that apparently features Roscoe Mitchell, Corey Wilkes, Bernie Worrell, and Richard Davis amongst others. You can download a preview track here - at least on that track, the horns are less a feature than a part of a sonic quilt that Voltress creates.

I can only assume that the connection between Voltress, Roscoe Mitchell and Richard Davis is that they're all based in Madison, WI.

If anyone in Iowa is reading, William Parker, Hamid Drake and David Budbill are doing some workshops and performances at Luther College this week.

Happy birthday to Sarah Vaughn...she would have been 83 today.
