A sampler is supposed to be an index with music attached, a practical device for turning curiosity into sales. ECM’s eleven official sampler albums, issued between 1978 and 1982, are stranger objects. They advertise a catalogue,...
This was when mu materials collection was rather small. I had everything in one container. It got to a point where I had to devide my materials by type. This made it eaiser to find the materials I needed.
Nau maiYesterday we played at San Francisco Airport. At 8:30am we woke up to the bus pulling up outside door seven of the San Francisco Airport’s departures level. It was something of a miracle that they were able to accommodate a bus we...
