Music news from the multiply-employed:
Physicist/composer Paul Sutton hears a particularly important song newly recorded.
A nice profile of Israeli organist/composer/trash collector Roman Krasnovsky.
Over the weekend, musician/trainer Enzo Calzaghe saw his best pupil, his son Joe, win quite possibly his last fight, a unanimous decision against Roy Jones Jr. to retain the Ring Light Heavyweight title and improve to 46-0 as a professional boxer.
And R.I.P. to the legendary singer/activist Miriam Makeba, who passed away yesterday after suffering a heart attack at the end of a concert performance. Here she is in Stockholm in 1966, singing “When I’ve Passed On.” (With the incomparable Sivuca on accordion.)
That’s the best Miriam Makeba clip I’ve seen in the last week. Thanks. She really was a goddess.
Roman Krasnovsky is quite inspirational.
