Two more victims of COVID-19: Giuseppe Logan and Henry Grimes, both of whom had extended musical trials and disappearances followed by later-life public resurgences. Included in this post are Mr. Logan’s quartet LP from 1965, and Mr. Grimes performing on Marc Ribot’s 2005 Albert Ayler tribute, Spiritual Unity. Both men strike me as characteristically New York improvisers, a bit more introverted than their Chicago-based peers, for example, somehow more aggressive in their spiritual stance.
“The work of a superb artist like Adams can’t solve anything for us, but it can give us a chance to see what we have done. It contains what supports hope but also lays out the evidence against hope. This is the right time to look at these pictures.” — Teju Cole on Robert Adams (via @nytimes)
