Good Sunday kinda feelin' with that gospel, soul and blues.

Something different now.
Reading some John Ashbery (because he has died today at the age of 90)
while listening to the following. Tomorrow, I'll bring out audio recordings
of Ashbery, himself, reading his work.

They glide in the sky
So near, yet so high.

They cater to none
And when day is done
They agree that the sea
Is the best place to be.

They're wondrously free
They live happily.
They know from the past,
A life cannot last.

So they live for today
For tomorrow they may not
Be able to dive from the sky.

South America - Black Music in Praise of Oxala and Other Gods (Nonesuch Explorer)

[duaneiac]

Recorded in 1964 in Berkeley, CA (where I happened to buy this disc at Amoeba Records yesterday).  Lightning Hopkins appears on just over half of the tracks, including one bonus track the two singers made in 1961.  The music has a very loose feel to it because as Ms. Dane explained in the liner notes, she was recording a session in front of an audience of invited friends/guests one afternoon at the club she was playing at and had no idea the Mr. Hopkins (who was to be the performer at that club the next week) would be in the audience.  So she had not even planned on singing with him that day, let alone having rehearsed anything with him.  Still, the music works and it's fun to hear the two of them "wing it" more or less.
