Hello. can we have a detailed update, please? :)
I'm listening to a vinyl copy of Mingus Ah Uh, reissued. I can finally put into words what Charlie's music is to me. His music, compositionally and musically are on many levels simultaneously. on the surface is just great music. if you don't pay attention you will sill have the sense that some good music is playing in the background. If you pay attention you'll hear all the twists and turns and sometime playful perversions (screw you mozart). and deeper still you can sink deep deep into the nuances of every note, every layer of instrumentation, every human tick and tock between the notes. and he doesn't make you listen to one level or the other - its up to you and how much you want to dig in. so when I listen to Mingus its this really deep trip into music and his mind and heart, as deep as he wants me to get into it. thats what I love about Mingus.
Indeed.Getting ready to launch, check your inbox in the next weeks!
Hi. So any updates? It would awesome to get maybe a monthly update on this project? maybe once things really get going, every 2 weeks? possible? :)

hmm. interesting how the backers didn't seem to drop off but the pledges did. i guess its a good thing that people were going the extra mile to push over the funding limit. i was thinking of downgrading to $250 but i figured, no. good thing i didn't!

Merited succes ::
