That was the way to do it

Not weird at all. Social factors and different notions of ultimate musical visions. Just because you're there doesn't mean you're there.

Actually, no. Don't need it!

That's an imaginary Mosaic BY an imaginary Mosaic.

Not talking about music. Talking (wryly) about the claiming of "land".

Navigating is easy. It's the music that is fluctuationsl. That's no secret. But listening to it all in sequence is clarifying. At least it is for me. What I find more and more is that it's the quality of the energy that matters here, less so than the specifics of the content. Although when you get both, hey...

A Spotify playlist of Sonny Rollins's Milestone records. Frustrating and exhilarating in equal measure.

There's a wicked temptation to suggest a neo-colonial impulse on display in giving one scene an entire part of a city as a nomenclature... But that had happened before with "uptown". Still. "Loft scene" refer to venues. ",Downtown" is land + buildings, everything.

Ready-made for a Christmas gift!

So much color...

Thanks!

Nothing more than an observation, but "downtown" always seemed to me to be a mostly "white" thing. Not exclusively, mostly. Both physically and esthetically.

How so?

I'm still in. Not the best seat in the park, but I can still see the game.
