The Trouser Press archive is online: https://trouserpress.com/magazine-covers-1/

from magazines that mentioned punk rock - even TIME magazine mentioned Television (along with Sex Pistols, Ramones and others) by mid 1977

One example from the Kofsky interview that I had in mind was when Kofsky mentioned Viet Nam. You can hear the interview at

Frank Kofsky tried to do something similar when he interviewed John Coltrane.

The "dollar bin" is where you can find LP covers that you might want to hang on a wall.

I saw Jeff Beck perform in concert when he toured with Santana - great show. RIP

Hard to forget the song that includes the voice of Irene Papas...

I feel fortunate I read Jorge Luis Borges when I was in high school. One day during those years, I also watched a live TV interview of Borges - he answered every question with an extraordinary range of anecdotes, stories, humor, observations, etc. - an unforgettable interview. However, I believe Borges can be read at any age.

“But Monk’s wholly original songwriting is his most lasting legacy. Taking intro, verse, refrain, bridge, coda, and “hook”—all the humble nonlinguistic bones of song—he bent them toward his own specific needs and vision. In this sense, he becomes part of a broader renaissance of American song in the second half of the twentieth century.” https://thebaffler.com/salvos/jazz-is-freedom-grimstad

Seven days of official mourning in Sao Paulo

I read the autobiography and the Meehan book many years ago, and I remember the Meehan book seemed to repeat some parts of the autobiography. But if you are a fan of Bley, go ahead and read the Meehan book I have not read the Cappelleti book, but I will if I find it in a library. I would pay no attention to "s**t reviews on Amazon".

In the 23 October 1961 issue of Billboard, Jimmy Jungerman wrote: “The Jimmy Giuffre Three tour Germany and Austria in October and November. They start in Frankfurt, Germany, and will visit Rheda, Essen, Kassel, Kaiserslautern, Germany; Graz, Linz, Vienna, Austria; Homberg, Dusseldorf, Bad Homburg, Stuttgart, Bonn, Cologne, Saarbrucken, Tubingen, Mannheim, Nuremburg, Munich, Hamburg, Berlin, Aachen, Bremen, Hanover, Germany”. Somebody needs to write a (800-page?) biography of Giuffre.

Take another look at Richarlison's "scissor kick" goal:

There is some evidence that Giuffre had something with Vivien Garry. On page 18 of the 25 January 1952 issue of Down Beat there is a photo entitled “Lighthouse Gang Illumines Lecture.” Below the photo it says: “For his lecture on progressive jazz in his Survey of Jazz course at UCLA, Nesuhi Ertegun brought a sample of the real thing for his students’ edification. Group was Howard Humsey’s [sic], from the Lighthouse cafe at Hermosa Beach, and included trombonist Milt Bernhart; trumpeter Shorty Rogers, tenorist Jimmy Giuffre; pianist bassist Rumsey, and durmmer Shelley Manne. Lady at the left is Mrs. Giuffre, better known to record collectors as Vivien Garry. She assisted with some examples of vocal stylings.” I believe Giuffre married several times. Juanita was his last wife. The Down Beat item is available on the Internet Archive. https://archive.org/

Was Vivien Garry subsequently married to Jimmy Giuffre?

Spalding described Harvard’s history as “inextricably linked to Black and Native subjugation,” adding that in order to maintain her relationship with the University, she would need to be involved in redressing the school’s “historical and lingering colonial impacts.” https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2022/11/18/spalding-email-music-departure-baedap/

“The importance of curiosity for creative genius can also be seen in case studies of eminent figures…For example, the 20th Century jazz musician John Coltrane was deeply fascinated in religious faiths, studying Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam, many of the influences of which can be detected in his music.” https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20221028-why-theres-more-to-being-smart-than-intelligence

If you wish to make a comparison, here is Lena Horne singing My Funny Valentine in the mid 1970s:

I assume you mean this tune:

If you missed the celebration of the life of Sue Mingus:

I knew that response was coming - I have heard it many times. I first heard Dark Side of the Moon long before college and I was not smoking dope.

Well...I remember 1973 as the year Led Zeppelin released Houses of the Holy (not lousy at all). 1973 was also the year that Dark Side of the Moon appeared - I have not heard the Pink Floyd album in years but I still have it memorized.
