Evenings at the Village Gate with Eric Dolphy (LP)

Rubaiyat of Dorothy Ashby (LP)

Jazz harpist Ashby has been enjoying a resurgence of interest in her body of work, and Rubaiyat is most worthy of the attention. Poetry, music and atmosphere combine seamlessly and without any awkward moments that spoken word and jazz can often produce. An ambitious and utterly successful vision.

Beautiful die-cut album art (in two choices of vinyl color) is the perfect setting for these rediscovered charming Moog-scapes from the late-60's. Trippy, funky, silly and sublime.

The Bedlam Stacks (Book)
Natasha Pulley
This is a truly unique story about a journey to a fictional town in Peru during the 1800s, where natural glass in the ground can get so hot that trees will catch fire and ancient wooden statues move on their own. Folklore blends with history and science in this spellbinding book.

The Way Out (Book)
Alan Gordon
I rarely read non-fiction, but this is an easy-to-read, fascinating book about how to self-treat chronic pain. Gordon breaks down how to un-train your brain from reading recurring physical symptoms as harmful, and he gives about a thousand examples of patient cases in which the process worked. It's pretty convincing, especially since he is upfront about it being a long process that doesn't come easily to most people.
