      He's the final scene in the 2024 Beach Boys documentary (on Disney), and includes the living 60's era members - David Marks, Al Jardine, Brian, Mike Love, and Bruce Johnston.     I think this 2nd picture may have been from promoting the documentary, and includes Blondie Chaplin (and director Frank Marshall).

      Summer With The Juilliard String Quartet

      By JSngry · Posted

      Virgil Thomson was apparently an important figure at one time. My personal jury is still out on that importance, although I've only heard a few things. This String Quartet is "nice enough"...but the Quartet is in great form. And the last movement does take it up a notch. The William Shuman piano piece is actually very enjoyable, and might not sound "classical" to certain "jazz" ears. Pianist Beveridge Webster certainly has a name suitable for jazz and a touch not terribly far removed from Ran Blake or the more nebulous side of Paul Bley. Certainly pulled me in! You know, I looked and realized that I do have that record on a scratchy LP that I pulled out of the used bins precisely because it was JSQ. I do recall playing it through a few times and thinking that this was probably going to be a close as I was going to get to actually LIKING Mozart (although I'm leaving the door open for the operas at some point...DVDs with subtitles preferred!)

      FWIW -- the JSQ's Mozart recordings that I find special are the six quartets dedicated to Haydn, Nos. 13-19, which were recorded for Epic in the early '60s. The record you are lukewarm about includes Nos. 20/21 and was recorded in the early '50s and is an altogether different kettle of fish--different 2nd fiddle, different cellist, different aesthetic: the earlier LP is more tensile and relentlessly modernist; the latter more relaxed without sacrificing intensity and sometimes even charm, the latter of which, as you know, is not something associated very often with the JSQ.  When you get to the later Mozart, let me know if your reaction is different. It might not be, of course, but it might be ...

      Charlie Rouse - Cinnamon Flower: The Expanded Edition

      By JSngry · Posted

      It almost sounds like a post-Creed Taylor CTI record. And it also sounds like Rouse may or may not be playing over tracks.
