Destination: Out celebrates anniversary
with Lester Bowie download

The cool cats who run the avant-jazz music sharing blog Destination: Out are celebrating their first blogiversary this week. To commemorate the occasion, they've reposted the very first piece of music put up on the site a year ago, an early track from the Art Ensemble (before they added "of Chicago" to their name) called "Warm Up" that features St. Louis native Lester Bowie - not on trumpet, but on kelp horn.

Now, I'm sure what a kelp horn is, but the track is an interesting listen. You can download it here, and while you're at it, you may also want to leave a comment congratulating the proprietors and urging them to keep up the good work. D:O has posted a lot of St. Louis-related music in the last year; here's hoping for much more to come.
