Counter point: a lot of people are scared of fusion and it’s such a hard movement to define. It simultaneously killed and brought new life to jazz. Like, jazz has been alienating audiences by and large since the advent of bop and became more niche. Jazz used to just be pop music!

i can’t complain that much about a guy who gives a stage to Lew Tabakin and Toshiko Akiyoshi in order to dive deeply into her catalogue. I love JALC.

Wynton is a great educator in many respects. Incredibly knowledgeable. But his tastes are very restrictive. It’s his role as a gatekeeper that bugs me. I often times find myself amazed at his prowess in the classical and blues realm along with his trad jazz realm. But yeah, he’s wrong about...

Mississippi was a delight. And the restaurant next door, Sweedeedee was amazing. What a lovely town.

@Rip_City where do I go to watch game 3 tonight? I might just settle for the hotel bar (I’m at the downtown Marriot)

found a signed Mose Allison album in the new arrivals section at Tomorrow Records and some hot fire OG Blue Notes at Dig. Portland slaps.

So, I fucked up: I got hooked searching for vintage blue note pressings. Give me that sweet Plastylite and absurd market prices. good times.

I need that and year’s A Love Supreme live set.

And then they did. What a roller coaster

Hi friends. I’m going to Portland next week with the Mrs. and I need recommendations for record stores. Any that focus on jazz or classic rock would be great. Any stores that keep audiophile or rarities are also welcome.

There was a $20-30 increase. Presumably inflation. I mean, it’s definitely a lot of money. didn’t they hire a former QRP or RTI manager to handle the VMP plant?

@AndySlash any updates? I’ve got some cash ear marked for donation purposes

But the ratings!!!!

Vamos Gatos!

It’s not just Jimmy. Many of these undrafted bench players have been through three deep playoff runs including a finals run in the bubble. They’re growing night in and night out. Gabe, Caleb, Duncan… it’s absurd. And Kevin Love brought a team that was careening to collapse together. I love him...

I’m in awe.

Jimmy Butler is a loveable basketball psychopath who thrives when you tell him he can’t do something.

It’s absurd. The obsessive Knicks/BK/Celtics/Lakers obsession is suffocating. But it’s not really news there, it’s entertainment in a league where the youngest viewers are obsessed with seeing highlight reels of stars instead of fundamentals and teamwork.

Hey, that’s the league’s problem, not ours. Despite my personal dislike of Jokic, the Nuggets are firing on all cylinders. They’re fun to watch .

probably Kerr?
