Milford Graves 1941-2021

I've been fairly strict about staying home as much as possible but crossing the river last month to see the Milford Graves: A Mind-Body Deal at the Philadelphia ICA, co-curated by Mark Christman, whose Ars Nova Workshop is such a godsend to avant-jazz enthusiasts in the area, in the closing week was not optional.  I was so Covid-obsessed on this excursion I could swear having seen echinacea and pau d'arco on the pic of his herbal shelf (below) but I can't find them now.
