March 11th Set List

Milford Graves/J Dilla

Highlights included the new Mia Doi Todd (I know my man Steve 1989 at EVR is amped about this); the New York Art Quartet (ft. Mr. Graves) reissue, which went into a mix of Tyondai/Parker/J-Dilla; and this week's Jean Luc Ponty-of-view, which asked, "If you were known as the Sheriff of Wall Street, wouldn't you be completely paranoid--to the point of abstinence--about being set-up?" I bet Jean Luc Ponty would be.
