Tonight I was just kind of sitting here, reading the news, and waiting for things to happen, when the thought occurred to me that when I don’t have a label, the whole notion of a release date is pretty stupid, sort of like wearing a white linen suit to a barbecue when you know you’re just going to get sauce all over it. So tonight I took off all of the “hidden” designations on New Vanguard Blues, and it is now available to stream and to buy over at my Bandcamp, in all of its spare, unembellished, modest glory. Enjoy it, even if you don’t buy it. And let me know what you think.
Now I am listening to the second movement of Henryk Gorecki’s Symphony No. 3, and it is so beautiful.
