Nothing Is v2.0: June 2007
http://ajbenjamin2beta.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Nothing Is v2.0. A music sharing blog that specializes primarily in the jazz underground. Wednesday, June 20, 2007. Miles Davis: Philly May 17, 1975. Don't know too much about this one, other than it's another 1975 Philly gig. Sounds like the standard spring 1975 live set with the usual personnel - sound quality seems considerably muffled, and of course there is a heckler who comes in louder than the music at times. Still, it gives an indication of the state of Miles' music circa 1975. Roots and traces: ...

Nothing Is v2.0: "Top Ten From the Free Jazz Underground"
http://ajbenjamin2beta.blogspot.com/2009/09/top-ten-from-free-jazz-underground.html
Nothing Is v2.0. A music sharing blog that specializes primarily in the jazz underground. Sunday, September 27, 2009. Top Ten From the Free Jazz Underground". Here's an oldie but a goodie from Thurston Moore, that I like to come back to from time to time. His "top ten" list (which let's face it, went way beyond a top ten) has been a source of inspiration as I've searched to find exciting music to listen to, and occasionally share. TOP TEN FROM THE FREE JAZZ UNDERGROUND. And, like MUSIC, it is an ABSTRACT.

Nothing Is v2.0: Jon Hassell: Dressing For Pleasure
http://ajbenjamin2beta.blogspot.com/2009/07/jon-hassell-dressing-for-pleasure.html
Nothing Is v2.0. A music sharing blog that specializes primarily in the jazz underground. Thursday, July 23, 2009. Jon Hassell: Dressing For Pleasure. That word would be "sultry." The opening track ("G-Spot") is a personal favorite - part of what makes it work is Flea's bass playing. Also of note was the track ("Club Zombie") that would become the theme for the hit TV series The Practice. Or Fourth World Vol. 1: Possible Musics. Bass [Electric, Keyboard] - Pete Scaturro (tracks: 3, 4, 8, 9, 11). Saxophon...

Nothing Is v2.0: September 2006
http://ajbenjamin2beta.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Nothing Is v2.0. A music sharing blog that specializes primarily in the jazz underground. Friday, September 29, 2006. The Positive Force with Ade Olatunji. I love uncovering obscure gems by pure chance. While looking for some old out-of-print Strata East recordings on mp3 a while back, I found this cool album called Oracy. One of the most righteous soul jazz albums of the 70s - a unique session of poetry, percussion, and jazz - put together by the ultra-hip Positive Force! Wednesday, September 27, 2006.

Nothing Is v2.0. A music sharing blog that specializes primarily in the jazz underground. Friday, March 19, 2010. With Haloscan dying, I ended up losing a lot of comments, and unfortunately Blogger won't allow me to have comments on old posts. So, here's an open thread. I'm in the process of making some possible career changes, and so am extremely pressed for time. When the proverbial dust settles, I do have a backlog of material I want to upload for you all. Thanks for your patience. Thanks for everythi...
