In 2017, I wrote about this concert Miles Davis played. It is one of my favorite performances from my aboslute favorite lineup of Miles’ career. In that original post I said “there’s an annoying voiceover that was unintentionally included around the 15 minute mark that mars the quality of this otherwise stellar recording, just as the band is really getting in to the zone.” At the time, this was true. It ain’t true anymore. Click through, and listen to this newly restored version.

It is my Duty and Privilege to announce the public launch of a project I’ve been working on for the better part of a decade, This is Jupiter’s Ghost! It is a podcast set in the creative commons CC-BY-SA licensed universe of the Solar Federation. It’s a community initiative, written and record by a small but growing group of contributors, which you are formally invited to join!
