Herbie Nichols was born in NYC on this day January 3, 1919. One of the most original & under-recognized pianists/composers in Jazz history, Nichols recorded his incredibly hip, angular compositions like "The Third World" & "2300 Skiddoo" for Blue Note in the 1950s: store.bluenote.com/collections/...

Wisdom tortures a fool, but all too often it’s the fool who rules. Damn, I could have sung that…

There is no Charter School “million-student waitlist.” There are empty classrooms, declining enrollment, and schools closing mid-year. #CharterMythBusted Stop the waste. Start the reckoning. Read our report #CharterSchoolReckoning to learn more networkforpubliceduc...

Downtown Brooklyn from Atlantic and Third Avenues, 4:27 PM, 29 December 2025.

Archives are out of style in the humanities? WTAF Not for historians! (and NB the most time I ever spent in archives was in literary archives) Since 2017, @historians.org has issued multiple statements of concern regarding threats to the preservation of the national history in archives

Self Promotion Sunday…Motian. Trio Eclectic was inspired by the Paul Motian Trio. It has since evolved into something uniquely ours. Jazz isn’t about copying the greats, rather being inspired by them, then finding your own voice. But this is my tribute to Paul Motian. #jazzsky youtu.be/UTFcZgXtwe8

Few things in the world are more devastating than the ridicule, generously delivered, of Daffy Duck.

“The boys of the NYPD Choir were singing ‘Galway Bay’” The Pogues with Kirsty Mccoll

Tune in on Friday. You won’t be sorry.

Warm holiday season greetings to all my confreres on Bluesky. While I realize what it says about the state of my life, I'd like to thank everyone for the respite they provide here.

Self Promotion Sunday…Dark Sketch. We decided to do this Duane Allen original as a vignette. It’s the only time I’ve done overdubs on an album as I heard a 2nd voice interacting with the melody. Come to think about it, I think that gives me partial composition credit. #jazzsky youtu.be/r21VM41R8ms

Birdy loves the new @tomtomorrow.bsky.social collection! (At least, she hasn't chewed on it or anything.)

"Christy Brown, a clown around town Now a man of renown, from Dingle to Down I can type with me toes, suck stout through me nose And where it's gonna end, God only knows Down all the days The tap-tap-tapping of the typewriter pays The gentle rattling of the drays Down all the days" The Pogues

Congratulations to Richa Singhal, Ph.D., Assistant Professor in the Center, and her collaborators in the Division of Gastroenterology, on their recent publication in Scientific Reports.

"All-American Alien Boy" (with, for some reason, Jaco Pastorious on bass and David Sanborn on alto) by Ian Hunter just shuffled up. Highly, highly recommended...dude.

The Year In MAD Magazine • 2014 👉🏻Tap Here For More MADness👇🏻

"Who's Gonna Help Brother Get Further" by Allen Toussaint and Elvis Costello just shuffled up. You got anything better? I doubt it.

Physical therapy is no longer "professional," according to a man whose professional peak was firing people.

"So I said 'Wait a minute Dinsdale, my name's not Clement.' Then he lost his temper."

I don’t have a new book to promote, but four of my former students have their first books coming out this academic year and, people, you are going to hear about them.

"Let's have a war/Jack up the Dow Jones" Fear

Please repost this far and wide. #ExxonShenanigans Getting the Supreme Court to allow them to say we are not polluters 🤮 🤮 🤮

A little treat on my day off, because I deserve it 💚

Tune of the day…Quincy Jones - Quintessence. This is the recording I tell my alto students to check out to teach them how to take control of an alto sax feature on a ballad. Nobody did it better than Phil Woods, who defines lead alto playing in the modern big band. #jazxsky youtu.be/u2hqgJGVMEk

"Yes We Can" (from the pen of the estimable Allen Toussaint) by The Pointer Sisters just shuffled up. Not much better than this....

Malvina is back in town....

New shop in my little corner of #Wales has offered to stock my books!😀That's a first! Many of you will know the struggle us indies face here in the UK when it comes to store presence, so I'm grateful.

Hello esteemed Bluesky users. If you follow me in order to steer me towards pictures of you in various states of undress, I will block your account. I am not interested, so don't bother. I am also uninterested in pictures of you at the gym.

Tune of the day…Grachan Moncur III - Thandiwa. This tune in 3 has a Monk like quirkiness about it. It’s a simple chord progression & clear 16 bar form, yet you have Wayne, Grachan, Herbie, Cecil, and Tony really exploring all the possibilities this tune provides them. #jazzsky youtu.be/XyVZOzalAAc

I thought the earlier news from A&M was bad, but this is incredibly bleak. It’s close to the point of not having a functional university.

"Take the Skinheads Bowling" by Camper Van Beethoven just shuffled up. Ah, the oldies but goodies.

Zac Segal, Boston U runner and Young Republican alerted ICE to a car wash in Allston MA which had immigrants working - he said they were taking US jobs. ICE raided the car wash. All detained had legal status according to their lawyer. Segal was born and schooled in London. 🙄

I wish my sobriquet was "Sandwich Guy."

Military Members Say They WILL NOT OBEY Trump's Unlawful Orders youtu.be/8OmJ2FSodQk?...

Tune of the day…Charlie Christian - Breakfast Feud. Christian’s electric guitar allowed him to play single note lines at a volume that could blend in with the band. His comping swing feel is intense behind Goodman’s solo, then there’s his perfect clean single note solo. #jazzsky youtu.be/4A4-tAy5eno

A personally- and privately-funded military. Not at all worrisome.
