Another of those “found" albums is the highlight of this episode. In 2006 master pianist Ran Blake and guitarist Dave “Knife" Fabris were performing at The Bimhuis in Amsterdam.

Jazz: An Origin Story
by Karl Ackermann
In 2020, I published A Map of Jazz: Crossroads of Music and Human Rights (WS Publishing), a book that looks at the culture of jazz on a timeline with cultures of the world.
