As Leslie Lamport said in 1987 - and it applies perfectly today, to "the cloud" and current web design - "A distributed system is one in which the failure of a computer you didn't even know existed can render your own computer unusable."

Sunday afternoon & first record of 2023 is #CharlesMingus, #TheBlackSaintAndTheSinnerLady.

I’ve turned into something of a Mingus nut with this replacing #AhUm as my favourite of his studio albums (although #TheClown runs close). I just love the huge swell & surge of the horns - reminds me of an unhinged Bernard Herrmann score.

Cut by #RyanKSmith for the #AcousticSounds #Impulse series this is rich, bombastic, with mad dynamics.
