In November 1975, UK music weekly New Musical Express included an article by Charles Shaar Murray titled “Are You Alive To The Jive Of The Sound Of '75.” Recently in New York, he was revealing what he had discovered.
It’s been a long wait. More than five years have passed since Maria Schneider’s most recent "magnum opus", the double album Data Lords came out. That was in July 2020, and the album went on to win not only a sixth and a seventh Grammy for the composer/bandleader, it was also a finalist for the 2021 Pulitzer Prize for Music. And I can’t help noting with some pride that theartsdesk’s review of that album is extensively quoted on the Pulitzer Prizes website (link below).
