If you show up to an audition without even bothering to print the charts I sent (making everything start late while I print for you) and then humblebrag that you just sightread the audition, guess what - you didn‘t get the gig. I want someone who is excited enough about our music to bother.
Billy Hart and the Cookers tonight at Jazz Alley, Seattle WA. Hell of a show!
Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers “Free For All” comes out this Friday in a new Classic Vinyl Edition! The set includes Wayne Shorter’s powerful title track & Freddie Hubbard’s churning piece “The Core” dedicated to the Congress of Racial Equality. Listen or pre-order: bluenote.lnk.to/ArtBlakey-Fr...
Sick groove! Love it!
George has a track record of taking on Trump directly. Your progressive, if lacking spine or without powerful connections to be effective, is just going to be another do nothing democrat. Your “issues” are not going to be resolved until Trump is out of office and facing justice. Priorities.
Why don’t we focus on getting rid of this vile hideous threat to democracy, the US, and the world, and then you can be all nit picky with your purity test. This is the only issue that we need agree on at the moment and, until resolved, there is no future for ANY of your positions. <smh>

My friend - including this merch ad after *every* post may have the opposite effect you have intended.
Welcome back!
Her only “image” problem is that she isn’t a fucking white male.
RIP Jack. Thank you for the music.

Dave King inspires me. JP Bouvet also interviewed Dave this week - watch on JP’s YouTube channel.
Oasis “Definitely Maybe“ 1994
I need someone to explain this band to me. Talented and well-produced. But, like, in the mid-90s there were many similar sounding bands. No shade at all, but what made this band into superstars? #1001albums

1001 Albums you must hear before you die! I have a link in the comments to a page that will serve up an album a day, if you would like to play along. (Jazz version coming soon!)

Hey man - I get it that you need to prioritize, but I just want to say that I miss your posts and hope that you will be back.
Some thoughts on music, art, and culture by my very talented friend, Jon Lanthier.
@jazzpolicebigband.bsky.social Great show tonight at the Aurora Borealis! Smoking solos, hot charts new and old, tight rhythm and intonation. It is always a pleasure to hear you!
Fewer and fewer will recognize that clever reference to Bloom’s work.
Just bought a copy!
Well, damn, that is quite an endorsement!
Ah, sorry, context... X-files was a sci-fi show popular in the US in the 1990s. There was an episode where a black goo was found on a ship that allowed alien possession of whomever contacted it. So, I was making a very obscure joke.
Wasn’t this an X-Files episode? 🤣
My husband is a trumpet player - I married him anyway. 🤣 I look forward to the selection of music you post daily.
Coincidentally, a recent interesting backstory on the song (and Motown music industry) from a YouTube creator I follow.
