My indpendent film I Called Him Morgan is on @criterionchannl now. Glad to see it reviewed and recommended in The New Yorker together with films by Claire Denis and Miryam Charles. newyorker.com/goings-on-abou…
Watched Rehearsals For A Revolution tonight with my family. A dialogue on making documentaries with limited available footage sparked a heated discussion (kids vs parents) on if, and why, the director used AI animation in one chapter. We all agreed it was a pretty superb film.

Headed to Stockholm to do this: mynewsdesk.com/se/svenska-fi…
Looking forward to see the Arthur Jafa exhibition at New Museum when in NYC later this fall. His son is named Ayler. AJ sent me a generous note about them recurringly watching my Albert Ayler film. It was sweet. nytimes.com/2026/09/14/arts/…
I was hoping to be in NYC today for the opening of this Richard ”Prophet” Jennings exhibition. Will make sure to check out later this fall. ceyssonbenetiere.com/en/exhi…
This evening I started reading Charles Reznikoff’s Testimony - The United States (1885-1915): Recitative. So far it’s almost as gore as McCarthy’s Blood Meridian.

BEAU TRAVAIL (1999). I knew this was a big time cinematic milestone. But I didn't expect this adaptation of BILLY BUDD set with the French Foreign Legion to essentially be a glorious song-and-dance film. Operatic in the best way. Visually exhilarating. I'm a bit breathless.
I think so too, Jerome. RIP Larry Reni Thomas, who interviewed her. The sound of Helen’s voice was one of the reasons that I kept going in the making of I Called Him Morgan.
Very glad to see Lee Morgan getting this NYT treatment. They asked me to contribute with a 150 word blurb re a favorite track. I wrote about the piece of music that had me take on the 8 year journey that became the documentary I Called Him Morgan. nytimes.com/2026/08/05/arts/…

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2 conta.cc/4wFIDrM

#BOTD Archie Shepp ici très jeune dans son premier album en tant que lead, pose avec Coltrane qui coproduit l'album, composé d'une compo originale et de quatre reprises de Coltrane.
Ce dernier soutenait bcp les jeunes musiciens jazz d'avant garde.
Cet album est un bijou.❤️
