R.I.P. Wayne Shorter, who leaves us at age 89—one of the most extraordinary musicians of my lifetime. Shorter had a transformative impact on improvisation and composition, but also in the poised and caring way he led his life. Our culture is a nytimes.com/2023/03/02/art……

Hugely grateful to @flowchartfdn for guiding us through Flow Chart, and to the readers whose chorus of voices has sounded the way. What a poem it is, resonant with ‘the great swing of things’ #collectiveashbery

First, a saxophone quartet told me we have lived too much/ in the mind of others, have too much unguaranteed capital on deposit there. #collectiveashbery

Fascinated by the ambient sounds caught in the recordings. A plane passing by early in Jorie Graham’s today? Like Ashbery’s (Cagean) music, ‘caught in the chinks of [the] argument’ - ‘and afterwards you aren’t sure if you heard it’ #CollectiveAshbery
