Richard Blute

Here is a list written by me of the greatest jazz albums of all time, with some commentary.

Here is the website for Foundational Methods Of Computer Science 2025, which was held in Ottawa from June 17-June 20, 2025.

Here is the website for Octoberfest 2025, which was held October 25th-October 26th 2025.

Facts about me:

• I am a (retired) professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics of the University of Ottawa.
• I am a member of the Ottawa Logic and Foundations of Computing Group and the Category Theory Research Centre in Montreal.
• I am a frequent visitor to the Laboratoire Preuves, Programmes et Systemes (PPS).
• I am an editor for the print journal Mathematical Structures In Computer Science
• I am a lifelong citizen of Red Sox Nation and New England Patriots fan.
• This is my favorite musician, but I also like these guys.
• I especially like what is frequently called free jazz or improvised music. This is a great website. And I’m not just saying that because I write reviews for it.
• I volunteer regularly at The Shepherds Of Good Hope. We are always happy to have donations in either clothing or money. Also if you’re interested in volunteering your time, feel free to get in touch with me to discuss.
• I also volunteer with Steps Off The Street. We bring food, clothing and hope to the homeless directly by walking through downtown neighborhoods with carts full of supplies. Donations would be much appreciated.
