I liked it.

[xybert]

Loved it! A bit of a departure from the last couple of albums but still has that Allen Lowe flavour. Looking forward to the album!

FYI for anyone potentially put off, despite the title the song is not actually 20 minutes long

...no, it just feels like it.....

Just kidding....I liked it a lot.

Will you be issuing this on CD sometime Allen?

[Quasimado]

Maybe the title should read "20 Minutes to Heaven"?

Looking forward to hearing more!

[AllenLowe]

the title is after one of those old Baptist sermon records from the '20s -

yes, this will be part of a one CD set, Matt Shipp Plays the Music of Allen Lowe -

probably by summer -

Nice! Really lovely.

Dude, you rock...and swing!

[AllenLowe]

thank you

just a little footnote on why I do not like Maine;

1) we had Shipp up here for 3 days; there is a local promoter who does jazz concerts, and he told me, a few months back that he already had one March concert set and could not do more than one a month.

so I'm on his mailing list - and he did 3 concerts this month, all last minute additions; the real crime was that he didn't want to book me playing with Shipp

2) after the recording, the drummer, an extremely nice guy and excellent player, goes on Facebook to say how overwhelmed he was at having recorded with Matt Shipp and Michael Gregory Jackson; at the bottom of the post he threw in a 'thank you' to me for setting it up, like I was the booking agent. Clueless, I am certain, but that's the way things roll up here.

oi, Maine, land of the Great Dis'.

outta here in 12 months.
