#nowplaying Airto Moreira, Airto : Identity (Arista, 1973). A titan of percussion in Latin fusion jazz, Airto’s CV includes stints with Miles Davis, Weather Report, Carlos Santana and many more. This release, his seventh as a band leader, isn’t as highly regarded […]

Saw the #raymondpettibon exhibit at the Museé National #picasso today. If, like me, you’re of a certain age and grew up with #punk, you know Pettibon’s work. To see it at the Picasso Museum in Paris was an awesome trip. Here are some pics…
