“‘Pernambuco was the first state in Brazil to open a public call for projects, & that was only because we were very united as artists and we pressured the government…This allowed us to build a very tight creative network, built upon a sense of solidarity.‘”

Herndon: “They make music that sounds like if a Transformer was itching itself while sleeping at night.”

Indeed. Not sure how much longer Tom will run it, but glad it’s still there.

“Epiblast is an album of immense emotional and structural weight. By connecting her spontaneous Brazilian roots with London’s progressive electronic jazz scene, Naná Rizinni has not just documented her transformation; she scored it.”

sorry for deleting my response, especially if you commented
i understand your point, but as a completist (although not for Evans) I’m going to have to disagree. Gimme all the Miles & Coltrane & Sonny you can, just not in an RSD format.
Good point. It’s created a bottleneck.
Perhaps it’s time to call Record Store Day a success & retire?
i don’t think the intent was to have resellers jack up the prices even more than the often-inflated sticker price on these “exclusive” releases, but that’s what’s happened. Who’s benefiting?

the final track is a banger
