“WHOOO—EEE! THAT NEW MUSIC MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I’M GONNA JASM!”
i know very little about punk, but what i do know is bob suren sure got it right! punk and jazz crossover on so many levels and i never really thought about that, as bob reflects - “jazz is weird music that goes on forever!” and punk...well...it’s just f*cking weird
little disappointed the book does not dig deeper into the avant garde scene where this crossover is so obvious with the likes of brotzman, threadgill, braxton, kondo... but let’s hope that maybe bob’s squirreling away in his mom’s basement working on the sequel!

for 10+ years i have been acutely aware of the LOUDNESS of everything and realized after speaking with our local public health department and OSHA, that there are no rules or regulations for non-employee noise levels and it is up to the local event to “manage” their sound, i wanted to shed some light on this travesty so i brought on an expert in audiology, dr. michael mcdonald and rock n roller/jazz musician, ben sidran, to systematically document over a years time the sound levels at a wide range of events, and yes even hand dryers in bathrooms were measured!, our suspicions were clarified and our findings were much worse than anticipated - IT IS DANGEROUSLY LOUD OUT THERE! and that this is an epidemic of monstrous proportions happening in real time that is completely unregulated, our opinion article in the wisconsin state journal sheds some light on this public health crisis with the hope that we can begin the process of education and generate a much needed dialogue
