Jim Campilongo “Awful Pretty, Pretty Awful” (Orange, Blue Hen, 2009) Campilongo, guitar; Stephan Crump, bass; Tony Mason, drums. Beautiful. I like this, but I have no idea who this is. It’s definitely someone influenced by Django. That’s as far as I can get. I may know this person, but I can’t remember his name. He’s still alive. I feel like I’ve heard this before. It brings me back to Europe—like an old French or Italian song. It really does feel like it’s coming from Django, but it is happening now.
That's so cool... I'd love to read it, it's a shame the attachment is too small for me to read... I tried to save it and zoom on it, but then it's too distorted.

I'm totally grateful and want to email the writer to thank him...
Anyway, I'm definitely keeping this scan, I've been reading "Blindfold Tests" for decades and I'm thrilled to be one of the "tests".
