THE ARKESTRA'S HOUSE PARTIALLY COLLAPSED
The terrestrial headquarters of the Sun Ra Arkestra is a three-story rowhouse in Philadelphia’s Germantown neighborhood, where the famously intergalactic jazz ensemble has lived, rehearsed, and pushed the boundaries of music for more than 50 years.
The house has partially collapsed, but Marshall Allen, 96, the band’s founding saxophone player and current leader, still lives and works there.

NEW ALBUM BY PIERRE VERVLOESEM
Pierre Vervloesem has released a new album.
This time, Pierre's imaginary trip around the world resulted in "Tâla Shit", an investigation of Indian rhythms.
As usual with Pierre's musical output, the result is pretty fascinating.
I also like that for the ignorant, like me, the talas number is mentioned after each piece.
Recommended listening.
My favorite pieces is the title track, 'Tâla Shit' (4-3-4-3-4-2-2-5-7)

JOHN MAYALL BOX SET
John Mayall's "The First Generation 1965 - 1974" box set got released about a week ago.
35 CD's and a book.
Limited to 5000 copies.
It includes John's "Blues From Laurel Canyon" album, about his stay in L.A.
Originally released in 1968.
The track '2401' got its title from FZ's address at the time: 2401 Laurel Cayon Boulevard, aka the Log Cabin.
His autobiography, released in 2019, was entitled "Blues From Laurel Canyon - My Life As A Bluesman".
From Ugly Things
http://ugly-things.com/john-mayall-my-life-as-a-bluesman/
Mayall further ruminated about Laurel Canyon.
“The connection was getting there in the first place. It began with Frank Zappa. I met him in 1967 in Scandinavia, when he and the Mothers of Invention were playing there and we were in Copenhagen at the same time. So that’s where I met that crowd. ‘If you come to America, look me up.’ So I did.
“I stayed at Zappa’s cabin for the first part if my three week vacation. I never really left Hollywood and Laurel Canyon. It became the confirmation for me. That’s where I wanted to move eventually.”
On his epic Blues From Laurel Canyon album, Mayall penned a song about Zappa. “The feeling when you listen to the song ‘2401’ is the vibe you hear. For me it was a very eccentric household, really. Frank and Gail Zappa, at the center, were the grounding factor there. The sanest people on the planet. I think Frank really encouraged that, and he kind of collected oddballs and information about America and its culture.”
