New limited edition poster available on the Obama site designed by Shepard Fairey for $70. Pretty good deal since 100% goes to Obama's campaign; especially if you were donating anyway.

Song of the Underground Railroad.



Up to the right I posted a new track, John Coltrane's 'song of the underground railroad' off his Africa/Brass LP.
Recorded in May of 1961, it features—in addition to Coltrane on tenor and soprano sax—Freddie Hubbard and Booker Little on trumpet, Eric Dolphy on alto sax, clarinet and flute, McCoy Tyner on piano, Art Davis on bass, and Elvin Jones on drums.
