I had planned for this intro section to be slightly longer, but you know what? I’m not willing to risk my life for you people. Christian Scott was at the Blue Note in New York this past week, and I had every intention of going to see him on Friday night. But then all gatherings of more than 500 people were shut down, and all gatherings of fewer than 500 people (the Blue Note holds about 225) were forced to reduce their capacity to 50%, and I realized that getting to the show would require me to get on both a NJ Transit train and the A/C/E subway line, and I said to myself, “Yo, fuck that.”
