This is one of the best articles/obituaries that I have read anywhere so far on the late drummer - and I would have to agree with your previous poster - Motian was certainly one of the best drummers that the contemporary music world has seen!
This was indeed a great mix Gerry. I have listened to this program a number of times via your streaming facility and particularly enjoyed Louis Moholo and the other British recordings - thank you! Do you know Louis' band Viva La Black? More jazz from Europe please!

Great concert! And the Soft Machine concert with REALLY heavy friends was fantastic, what a band!
