It's absolutely atrocious that we're treating those who can least afford it in this way. What's next, line them up and push them over the edge of a cliff? This is not the society I signed up for. #auspol #disability

“It’s rare to have such stark differences in a budget – people with disabilities suffering some of the biggest cuts on record while the wealthiest in society lose some tax breaks." – Greg Jericho, Chief Economist, The Australia Institute Read more 👇 https://theaus.in/4xcFXT1

Better to hurt the lives of people with disabilities than upset Santos, I guess.

Hey @markbutlermp.bsky.social - I am giving you an open invitation to come see my daughter with Down Syndrome and then you can tell me to my face that it will be good to cut her social, economic and community participation funding by 25% (heck the explanatory memorandum gives an eg of 50%).

Gourmet AI peas … *Chef’s kiss*

Tune of the day…Sonny Rollins - Solitude. I’ve transcribed so many Sonny Rollins solos in my youth. Teaches you to play inside, outside, doubletime, melodically, rhythmically…This one is just pure beauty and power. Starts in F# then F, back to F# at the very end. R.I.P. #jazzsky youtu.be/_D3zqnokaVI

Hi Marcus You msy well enjoy this 2019 Fidler Conversation with Professor Kaplan.😎 www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

'Blue scene' by Tina Morgan, contemporary English painter born in Devon #womensar

Born this day, 1960: Trumpeter Wallace Roney in Philadelphia PA. When Miles and Quincy Jones recreated Gil Evans' arrangements at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1991, Roney was on hand in case Miles' chops fatigued. The smile on Roney's face says it all. #jazz #jazzsky #milesdavis

Why am I not surprised that Wallace Roney's bday is almost the same as Miles Davis' bday. But not quite. 🎺🎂 Here's something from the late great Wallace Roney. 2016 this 👇 #jazzsky, #botd youtu.be/A4h4vo_FcRY?...

Nowt but love for both of you - and all fellow music-lovers. Reminded of the final quote from the end of Rhythm & Blues In New Orleans: ‘This music ain’t nothin’ but a party, and if the people are right we can play all night’.

Born this day, 1919: Alto saxophonist/ clarinettist Herbie Fields in Asbury Park, NJ. Fields was leader of the band behind blues singer Rubberlegs Williams on this date for Savoy, also the first ever recordings of Miles Davis, a month shy of his 19th birthday. #jazz #jazzsky #milesdavis

Remembering how surprised I was to discover that Rosa Klebb in From Russia With Love was played by Lotte Lenya, known for her wonderful performances of the songs of her husband, Kurt Weill. A long way from Weimar Germany and Bertolt Brecht to Pinewood and Ian Fleming youtu.be/aPG9GcykPIY?...

From lumpen-proletariat to lumpen-potatoriat. I’m here all week.

If I’m not evolved enough to understand it, then why did they have to steal my writing to train it?

Much as I like Sympathy For The Devil…same idea, better song. #musicsky #nowplaying #nowspinning

Recorded this day, 1953: Dizzy Gillespie, fresh from the Massey Hall gig in Toronto with Charlie Parker, returns to Birdland for this radio broadcast with his own band. MIles and Bird drop by to jam. #jazz #jazzsky #milesdavis

Recorded this day, 1957: The third of five studio sessions for the album 𝘔𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘈𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥 (Columbia CL 1041) with the Gil Evans orchestra. Arranged as a continuous suite, track 6 was Gil's composition Blues For Pablo. #jazz #jazzsky #milesdavis

Some reggae for the forthcoming heatwave. This one reminds me of dancing with my friends’ families, & their friends’ families, & generations coming together in our multicultural London way 💙 #MusicSky #MusicianSky #LondonLife youtu.be/h42I6G057v4?...

If a woman plays jazz in space, & there’s no one around to hear it, can she even say a man interrupted to explain what Coltrane was “really trying to do”? #Music #MusicSky #MusicianSky

Meet the granny labelled an ‘extremist’ by Premier Malinauskas www.indailysa.com.au/news/just-in... Fair play to her. The birds and animals have a spokesperson acting on their behalf. An honorable thing to do. Well done Mij Tanith and eternal shame on you PMalinauskasMP

We all try to remind #PeterMalinauskasMP he’s no more than an elected official, but it appears he believes the myth of his own publicity. We need more calls to SA MPs 🙏 & support to save our public #AdelaideParklands from bullies & their destruction #SAparli #Auspol @adel-park-lands.bsky.social

Tune of the day…Ron Eschete - Bye Bye Blackbird. When I first moved to LA, I used to go see Ron’s trio often. Beautiful 13 strings (7 guitar 6 bass) of texture providing luscious chords. He is truly a master of chordal playing. Check out 5:12 who comes up with that! #jazzsky youtu.be/puVzd67x6XU

I found out just now that the great Ron Eschete passed away today. Truly one of the greatest guitarists ever, and it was a pleasure for me to know him and listen to his music often. He will be missed.

Name a better engineer than a London beaver. We’ll wait. 🦫 These incredible creatures were reintroduced to the city and have already stepped up to stop flooding at a Tube station and restore local habitats. Nature is healing (and civil engineering).

Tune of the day…Art Tatum & Coleman Hawkins - My Ideal. This live recording 6 weeks after they recorded it in the studio, lets loose a little more, showing the connection between Tatum & Hawkins’ and how their flourishes of virtuosic arpeggios paved the way for bebop. #jazzsky youtu.be/nrX8iw3wSRU

You didn't know that you needed to hear Miles Davis trade raucous bebop lines with FATS NAVARRO and DIZZY GILLESPIE in 1949? youtu.be/pbIlL0T2NTg?...

The Danish gov’t has installed floating platforms planted with wildflowers and native vegetation in the harbors and canals of Copenhagen, to create urban habitat sanctuaries for birds, bees, pollinators, insects, and even some aquatic life. #FlowersOfBluesky #InnovativeSolutions💡
