Bassist and composer Barre Phillips was born 27 October 1934, and he died 28 December 2024. This record made a big impression on me as a teenager, with Trilok Gurtu, Dieter Feichtner, and Terje Rypdal. Beautiful vibe on this track from 1978. #JazzSky

MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States.
A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports.
This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.
