RIP Glenn Branca (10/6/1948 - 5/13/2018)

Glenn Branca passed away from throat cancer four days ago. Since he passed, there have been plenty of impressive tributes, so let me simply repeat what I posted on my facebook page: I've always had a complex relationship to the terms "guitarist", "musician", and "composer"; but to the degree that I am any of those things, Glenn Branca is the air that I breathe.

RIP Cecil Taylor (March 25, 1929-April 5, 2018)

Cecil Taylor has left us. He was perhaps the thorniest, fiercest, and most complex of the free jazz pioneers. Rest in peace, Mr. Taylor.
