Thanks for the history lesson (I know only a little about Marcantonio, but this makes me want to learn more) *and* for using Duke Ellington & Juan Tizol’s “Caravan” in this message. Sounds like the original 1937 recording, too! Thanks for the history lesson and the history you’re about to make.

We are vibing the same vibe this weekend, my friend!

Yes!! ❤️ Has there been any reissue of the Roots and Folklore series in recent years, either on LP or CD?

Fascinating article. I read Ellman's Joyce biography many years ago and will put this on my to-read list. Much appreciation for all that you publish, LRB.

So glad that Mosaic devoted a box set to him. I’m overdue to revisit it.

I've been telling friends for the past few months that Document is a stunningly (and sadly) relevant album for our current moment.

Whoa, I never realized that. Just bought the recent reissue with Nate Chinen’s notes, but haven’t cracked it open yet. You’ve helped set my playlist for tonight!
