I see Foday Musa Suso collab with Jack de Johnette is coming up. I got to feature a fair bit of Foday on This Island Earth back in Feb, including collabs with Philip Glass (also coming up) and Pharoah Sanders. Darned great stuff! Look forward to hearing this one. http://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/32/20722.html

Speaking of Foday Musa Suso & Philip Glass, I am considering playing Glass' big multicultural piece "Orion" sometime soon. About 90 minutes.
