What the original album notes did not disclose #NowPlaying #Jazzsky Good job, Orrin Keepnews

One Fine Morning is a delicately sketched film. It is cinema in pencil, rather than pen; a film of light attenuated mornings, understated conversations where decisions are never quite made, melodrama happening off screen.

Not a big Sonny Stitt fan here, but hey there’s Jim Hall, John Lewis, Richard Davis and Connie Kay open.spotify.com/album/1MXypN... On the second listen, it just clicked #NowPlaying #Jazzsky

An album I often pass by. Why? youtu.be/pK7NoYRKBhs?... Sound-wise, it's a turning point. No saxophone but the sound of the First Quintet is already there #NowPlaying #Jazzsky

Clear-cut evidence that Charlie Brown will grow up to be a copy editor. Poor guy.

My god, I hadn't spotted it either. That's really lovely.

It's always about Coltrane on this album, but Hank Mobley puts in a wondrous shift. NP

These ballad books are easy to mock, but this one has something #RIP Ken Peplowski open.spotify.com/album/1O6RKW... With Bill Charlap at the piano

Amidst all the awards noise, Richard Linklater is not getting enough kudos for releasing two brilliant films in the same year.

NGL this description of Bsky in Vulture cracked me up

FOFOMO - fear of fear of missing out

#NowPlaying Separated at birth. Well, almost.

I can’t count the huge number of amazing records where this gentleman is featured. Such a warm sound.

Show me two albums that go together terrifically well #NowPlaying

depending on the song, you could switch from Bowie’s YOUNG AMERICANS to Hall & Oates’s BIGGER THAN BOTH OF US and *almost* think it’s the same album

Remembering Gene Krupa on the 117th anniversary of his birth. (He died in 1973). Krupa propelled himself to fame (literally!) with the opening drum solo on Benny Goodman's version of the Louis Prima-penned classic "Sing, Sing, Sing." #1001CoverSongs Song # 119: youtu.be/u_E0UVNtJ9Y?...

I watch very few films these days, far less than I’d like, but with a bit of an effort I’ve been on a bit of an old timey crimey spree. Thus far: Thief The Limey Point Blank The Long Goodbye Next: Le Samourai, maybe Le Cercle Rouge

#NowPlaying open.spotify.com/album/2wzAiC... The touching sound of Tony Fruscella is something of a cross between valve trombone and French horn, according to a reviewer at the time. Featuring Allen Eager, another disciple of Lester Young.

Grant Green - Solid. A terrific set from Mr. Green and friends. What a lineup. #Jazzsky

It always catches my attention how Criss Cross has a lot of albums recorded at this time of the year. Turns out Gerry Teekens and Max Bolleman used to book a studio in New York every December so they ended up with a lot of albums recorded at Christmastime

Norwich Cathedral, just after Eucharist and when tourists are allowed to wander. Spotted the candle wreath being lowered (with the sound of a dockyard winch) and, after asking permission, caught the last candle of the morning service being blown out.
