...your father kicked you out," he said with certainty, and once again my mind went with the wind, and I laughed and relaxed... We talked and I felt very good with him and freer, much freer. "The way out of a room is not through the door," he said, laughing. "Just don't want out and you're free." Then he unfolded a tale of the 20 years he's spent behind bars, of the struggle and the giving up and the loving of himself...

As recently as three months ago, Communist Party Chief Leonid Brezhnev greeted a U.S. delegation headed by Treasury Secretary William Simon by asking...
...while back, this marks the first engagement at Boston's best jazz club for this locally based avant garde group. It's been long awaited. Trumpetist Davis leads a six man contingent with a free-wheeling, fluid style that fits in somewhere between the wanderings of freer "black music" and the excesses of more melodic (read electronic) music. Davis and Ghetto Mysticism have been nearly alone as proponents of free music in Boston, and anyone whose ears have been plugged against the softer wares of so-called jazz-folk can pull out the wax this week at the Jazz Workshop...
