But as you pointed out earlier, Guardians of the Galaxy 4 and Super Mario Brothers?????
I'm sure they're huge, but I don't know anyone who watches that kind of kitsch. If they do, they certainly don't bring it up in my presence.

I don't recall ever seeing a Chris Pratt movie. I wouldn't recognize him on the street. This is the modern idea of a silver screen star?
Same here. In fairness to the guy, pop culture has become much more fragmented than it used to be. Instead of there being a smaller group of celebrities whom everyone knows, there are now zillions of celebrities whom are recognized only by certain segments of the population.

“Perhaps a historic-cultural monument designation could have saved the Zimmerman house, or allowed the necessary time to delay demolition. Tragically, calls for preservation fell on deaf ears.”
So hey. Apparently Chris Pratt wasn't the only one who didn't give a shit, so don't blame him.
I do blame him. He could have bought a vacant lot, probably for cheaper than what he paid for this property plus the demolition.

Yeah, maybe I was a little harsh. I'll be sure to check out Guardians of the Galaxy 4 and Super Mario Brothers when they come to the Criterion Channel. 😹

" It’s the stuff that gets to you between about 12 and 25 that stays with you for life. You never absorb music in quite the same way after that.”
So true ......
Not true with this primate. The stuff that made an impression on me occurred between ages 30-50.

Have we ever determined the identity of Nora Kelly, who wrote liner notes for two of Herbie Hancock's Blue Note albums focused on the sea?

It did [Dolphin Dance]. Covered by both Ahmad Jamal & Grover, found in fake books, absorbed into the mainstream via osmosis.
Maiden Voyage was my second Herbie Hancock album, Empyrean Isles being the first. I got both circa my junior/senior years of high school. This would have been very early 1980s. I also had The Real Book by this time, and while I was no expert then - nor now, for that matter - my sense was that "Dolphin Dance" was one of Herbie's most well-known tunes, next to "Chameleon" and, a year or two later, "Rockit."

I find the whole idea of vinyl only in 2024 truly bizarre. I mean I get offering it but vinyl ONLY? Do you want to sell the music or not?
That's what's selling. Even downloads don't sell much anymore. Listeners in the aggregate either want vinyl, or they want to stream.

How does this overlap with this earlier BN 2-LP
Some, not much, overlap. I am counting three common tracks.
https://www.discogs.com/release/7578982-Herbie-Hancock-Herbie-Hancock
Interesting that neither included "Dolphin Dance," unless that tune's stock rose in value after the mid-1970s.

So there's no solo content here, only trio?

Herbie Hancock - 70s BN 2-LP comp from the series with pixilated colorful graphics.
Because sometimes a nice 2-LP set is what you need.
Playing it in mono to bring up the piano and bass, as I frequently do with BN records from this period.

"New York pianist, Roger Peltzman’s one-person show, Dedication, recounts his family’s tragic history fleeing the Nazis in war-torn Europe using drama, humor, powerful images and musical performances of everything from blues to Chopin.
"Drawn into the story of people he never knew, Peltzman develops a “relationship” with his uncle, Norbert Stern, a brilliant pianist who was murdered in Auschwitz at age 21. Learning that Holocaust trauma can be inherited, Peltzman recounts his coming to terms with second generation survivor trauma and the role of music in helping to manage wounds that will never fully heal.
"A singular tale from the Holocaust that is at once extraordinary and relatable."

Computer?
Well, if the writer wants to revise, a computer is the way to go, though using a typewriter would be much more percussive!

To write an effective book about Cecil Taylor, one must engage with the computer keyboard as Taylor engages with the piano.

Oblique is a great album, and the rendition of "Blow Up" is superb.
Agreed. I created a Blow up playlist using the soundtrack CD (minus most of the pop tunes, except the Yardbirds) and add the Bobby Hutcherson version of the theme at the end.
