- In These Times on nazi skinheads in the military.
- In the new issue of The Quarterly Conversation, Scott Esposito looks on a new anthology of Mexican literature.
- Literary Kicks reviews a new production of Porgy & Bess. Miles Davis’ soundtrack to the film is one of my favorite albums he recorded during the fifties.
- More hardcore in The Guardian: this time it is a profile of Discord Records.
- All About Jazz reviews Black Flag’s mostly instrumental and always excellent Family Man and Process Of Weeding Out albums.
This week’s video is from a CBS appearance Davis did in 1958, the same year as his adaptation of Porgy & Bess. He performs So What, from the Kind Of Blue album. Jimmy Cobb is on drums and, oh yeah, some guy named John Coltrane is playing saxophone as well.
