Scratch My Brain

In the pre-internet days, I wouldn’t have know that Ornette Coleman sat in with Sonny Rollins on Friday night until way after the fact. But this is 2010. As it was happening in NY, I looked at my twitter feed here in Louisiana, and read, “Right now the band is Sonny Rollins, Ornette Coleman, Roy Haynes & Christian McBride. ” Thanks Jason. I am jealous that I wasn’t there, but happy to have at least been cyber aware of the occurrence.
