Yep. I hate the Dodgers, but gotta tip the cap to Yamamoto for hurling back-to-back complete-game victories in the NLCS and now the World Series.

The eagle has landed! Won't get a chance to start listening to it until this evening.

My favorite drummer. RIP, sir. And thank you for all the beauty and joy.

RIP

Too sad ... R.I.P.

Totally unexpected. R.I.P.

Last night, Shelley Carrol/Stefan Karlson/Jonathan Fisher/Andrew Griffith at the Balcony Club.

+1 to all sentiments. Too sad to say anything else.

R.I.P.

This one really hurts. Jack Dejohnette was not only one of the greatest and most original drummers. He was a titan of jazz music in every aspect. Irreplaceable! We posted at exactly the same time with exactly the same thought!

Irreplaceable

RIP

RIP, Jack

Oh no! Terrible news! R.I.P.

Mentira!

Wasn’t expecting this unfortunate news. One of the absolute greats. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/oct/27/jack-dejohnette-versatile-jazz-drummer-miles-davis-fusion-dies-aged-83

The Getz estate wants to protect the image of Getz as a supreme jazz artist, ignoring his dark sides. Blaming another musician, and a great one as Roy Haynes, on the failure of a session, is unbearable, IMO.

October 27 Philip Catherine - 1942

Good reason! I like having his Muse stuff all together, too.
