"[Jack DeJohnette] is a person who for around 50 years, dating from his early work with Charles Lloyd and Jackie McLean, circa 1966, up through In Movement, released in 2016, managed to sound, at every point along this timeline, deeply and restlessly contemporary, forever on the edge."
The Infinity of Jack DeJohnette

"For Hüsker Dü, headlining First Avenue was significant considering that the band’s first full-length had been recorded in the venue’s smaller room, 7th St Entry. It’s also worth keeping in mind that the recording is the band playing its 2nd hour-long set of the night, this one totaling 23 songs."
Some Kind of Fun: Hüsker Dü’s Generational Blues
