This is incredible! I’ve seen him live a couple of time since his last album and have been waiting for this. I’m already inspired by these two songs and am running to go buy the album now. I’ve been saved!!

love this message that arrived in my inbox today:

There is a proper procedure for taking advantage of any investment.

Music, for example. Buying a CD is an investment.
To get the maximum you must

LISTEN TO IT FOR THE FIRST TIME UNDER OPTIMUM CONDITIONS.

Not in your car or on a portable player through a headset.
Take it home.
Get rid of all distractions, (even him or her).
Turn off your cell phone.
Turn off everything that rings or beeps or rattles or whistles.
Make yourself comfortable.
Play your CD.
LISTEN all the way through.
Think about what you got.
Think about who would appreciate this investment.
Decide if there is someone to share this with.
Turn it on again.
Enjoy Yourself.

- Gil Scott-Heron

is the rest of the record as great as these two tracks and “new york is killing me?” the latter might be my favourite song of the year (so far).

I remember the original comment #5, now deleted, and what can I say…some people don’t know the basics of promotion/public relations.

As for the post: haven’t heard it yet, but am glad GS-H made it across the bridge.

So my question is, can someone explain to me the true difference between comments #4 and 5?

@alejandro – As far as I know, Jackson isn’t on this record, though I found it interesting that Oakley Hall’s Pat Sullivan plays on it. Interesting cross-over.

Is Brian Jackson in this record also?I’ve been listening a lot to Pieces of A Man lately and the pairing of those two was dynamite! Lady Day and John Coltrane is a favorite.
