Sez the guy who cherishes his Kenny G Christmas CD(s).

As the brief news story states, "The deal means that more than 600 of Dylan's copyrighted songs written over nearly 60 years — "from 1962's cultural milestone 'Blowin' In The Wind' to this year's epic 'Murder Most Foul,'" the press release said — are now owned by the media giant."

Because reading the initial post was a strain on my old eyeballs: Almost two decades ago, Union Square Hospitality Group set out on a pioneering journey to marry authentic pit barbecue with great jazz in New York City with the opening of Blue Smoke and Jazz Standard in NYC’s Flatiron neighborhood. It is with great sadness that USHG shares that Blue Smoke Flatiron and Jazz Standard will not be reopening on 27th Street. While our physical doors may be shut, our passion to serve and entertain lives on and we are optimistic about the future and writing the next chapter of Jazz Standard. In the meantime, the club is hosting exclusive artist conversations and performances virtually. Thank you to our team members, our guests, and the city of New York for embracing Jazz Standard and supporting us throughout the years.

Jones stated, "Everyone thinks Coltrane wrote that, he didn’t. It’s Slonimsky. That book started all the jazz guys improvising in 12-tone. Coltrane carried that book around till the pages fell off". Marchese, David (February 7, 2018). "In Conversation: Quincy Jones". Vulture.

You're welcome, boys!

Where I come from, the phrase is "from stem to stern".

Yeah well, I tried. Shows you how much a Berklee education is worth.

I certainly hear what you hear, but the chord progressions for both songs is very similar. Stompin' follows the traditional A-A-B-A form, while Cherokee is a modified A1-A2-B-A2 progression.

Happy Birthday, Lou! Someone here told me you might prefer this to a cake.

That's a helluva fluke you got there!

Political spreader event held in New Hampshire yesterday. Perhaps they should change the state motto to "live free or die (stupid)".
