Since pretty much any subject matter these days is open to be musicalized (or Andrew Lloyd “Vombo”rized) why not this? (H/T to my chum and Russell scholar Andrew Irvine). The world premiere of a fascinating and unusual new work by Tyrone Landau based on ‘Principia Mathematica’ by Alfred North Whitehead & Bertrand Russell, published in the…
For the past 20 years, a festival not to be missed has been Jazz on the Bayou. Held at the Bayou Liberty estate of Gardner and Ronnie Kole, this “backyard festival” has raised more than $1 million dollars for the charities it supports. Every year, Jazz on the Bayou spotlights many of the area’s top…
Here is Jan Willem Lindemans‘ intro and conclusion to his chapter: The philosophical foundations of Hayek’s works are not beyond dispute (Caldwell, 1992; Gray, 1984; Hutchison, 1992; Kukathas, 1989): was Hayek a rationalist or an empiricist; did he follow Kant or Hume, Mises or Popper?

Kekes’ comments again reeks of sour grapes. Bob makes it quite clear: Though as my main topic will be his love life, which is not…
Clarence “Gatemouth” really does swing on this terrific recording. “Pops” and the “Count” would have been proud. Great to see that trumpeter Jamil Sharif is on the album.
