@abbazabba: There's a presidential election soon, so it's a mess. An issue for the far right, who support Putin but say they are for local control. Also for the populist "left". Looks bleak as usual! I usually start from the far left but rule out any nationalists or racists, which leaves me at center left at best. It's an issue, and I've been vocal about it, but then I was called a racist

Last week I mentioned hearing a very good concert by Joel Ross. It seems that the concert has been taped and is at the moment available to see at vtjazz.org. The concert does start after a few empty minutes, so just run your cursor along the timeline until you see musicians in the thumbnail. The first sequence is particularly good, with Coltrane's Equinox (I think) in the middle.
