Thanks, an interesting read. A bit curious about this passage - For Merewitz, that reality means that maybe jazz “needs to be given the kind of special status that classical music is given.” (The Times has several classical music critics.) But, he said, “the bigger issue is, how does the world find out about what’s going on in New York [jazz] if we only have six to seven listings a week and the occasional feature on a single musician who’s breaking down barriers?” I wonder what barriers in this day and age is he talking about? Everything seems to have been done to death already.

I was going to see him in NYC this Spring. You think it would be disappointing?

Watch out, the body-positive police will moderate your ass.

Just scored this one in a local pawn emporium, during my lunch break. The other side is MONY MONY

Some quick thoughts from Quincy Jones on the subject of playing for all kinds of audiences . https://tedpanken.wordpress.com/2011/10/13/a-1996-wkcr-interview-with-ray-brown-born-85-years-ago-today/ He's talking about Ray Brown - “After he moved to Los Angeles, we started working a lot together,” said Quincy Jones. “We got closer and closer. After a while, Ray started to take care of booking gigs and travel. He was an astute businessman. Old school played everything. We all played chitlin’ circuits. And you didn’t sit around whining about what you had to play, man. You played it, and tried to make it all sound good. That’s what I loved about Ray. That’s where I think our chord struck, in being very curious about what the business side of it was and not wanting to be a victim. We wanted to be more in charge of our own destinies. “A man never plays more or less than they are as a human being, and Ray was a very confident, take-charge person. He played bass like that and lived like that. He ate 17 different dishes like that. Wherever we were, whatever was good, Ray knew what it was. He’d probably eat a 249-pound catfish if he tried! To me, he was the absolute symbol that if you empty your cup every time and learn to make it a habit, it always comes back twice as full. Give it up every time, man. Don’t save nothin’. I learned more and more about that from him all the time. In everything.”

We're talking about a box set here...

Bebop, that's a great one! This cover has a VU meter, so that's lab equipment material.

This cover isn't featuring a piece of lab equipment, but the album title is a pun on 'Bunsen burner', which is a staple in every chemistry lab.
