Report #64

This week's poem is called "Carbon" and comes from a late night drive through the pass between Bozeman and Livingston. The title came after writing when I noticed the irony (perhaps hypocrisy) that the poem stumbles upon. But if everything contains it opposite (as Hegel, Ospensky, Capra and Lao Tzu say) then self-contradiction is true honesty.

This week's music is from Tenor Madness (Prestige, 1956) by Sonny Rollins, with their take on "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" (Rogers & Hart). The album's title track (sadly too long to be featured on the Report) is the only known recording of Rollins and John Coltrane together. The rest of the band is the classic Miles Davis rhythm section of Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums.
