Just received news that my documentary, chasing KEINO, has been selected by the International Black Film Festival Nashville. A great honor. Will get to see all of my music friends in the Nashville area. Yes, it’s early. Yes, it’s four-fourty AM Central Time. Yes, we’re working whilst you sleep.

In the thirteenth century, the tallest buildings were the churches. In the 17th century, political buildings were taller. Office buildings are now the tallest architectural structures in most modern cities. On display is Santa Maria della Salute in Venice, construction was started in 1631 and completed in 1687. photo: Ed Vaughan

Riddles. 13 Jul 2010.
Ridley Scott has spent more time making films that ‘mean something to someone’ or have a less than populist appeal than anyone that I can think of. And still emerged from the other side of the tunnel for it. Back to artists. Back to belief systems. He’s King Kong, in my book.

Ferguson. 12 Jul 2010.

On my way from two years in Wall Street to Bombay in 1962, I accepted an invitation for lunch in London from a then recent friend, Ronald Grierson (now Sir Ronald). I arrived at SG Warburg & Co and was pleasantly surprised to beContinue reading “Ferguson. 12 Jul 2010.”
