...travelled with Roots to the Source, a band made up of his ex-wife Fontella Bass, her gospel singing mother Martha, and brother David Peaston, along with drummer Philip Wilson (an old pal), and Chicago based saxophonist Ari Brown. Bowie also formed the new Brass Fantasy group from the core of the New York Hot Trumpet Repertory Company, and he plans to record with them at the end of this summer...

His oddly hued, plastic-laminate-covered Carlton room divider, whose bookshelves extend at eccentric angles, is intentionally haphazard-looking. Since books tend to settle on an incline anyway, reasoned Sottsass, why force them to stand at attention? With a core committee in Milan, Sottsass informally reviews proposals and commissions plans from like-minded designers. "We are explorers out in unmapped places," he says. "We are not trying to define truth. We just want to keep exploring...
