OMG, my dad was a Virgo....say no more!

What was Yoko doing? Stopping by to talk business, or just hang out or something? Or was she just wanting her doorbell to be on the record?

Do we need to crowdfund him some toothbrushes and/or floss? Please advise if so, I'll be happy to pitch in a few bucks for that!

The curiosity factor of that whole notion is a great hook to pull people into the real meat. So glad that you found that and followed the trail, crazy stuff, Percy France playing on a Mickey Spillane audio book...how many times in the know history of the cosmos does that kind of synergy actually occurred?

A brisk walk is supposedly good for your health!

Cab, I'm thinking, right? The one time I was there, didn't seem like the parking would have lent itself to a quick exit. Thinking about how obsolete that whole thing is now, what with laptops and wi-fi.

Artemis C. Tinkeltoff - Reads Abounding Hands and Other Poems Of Hope Not bad, if you like that kind of thing. I don't, really, but for a buck, hey...

It's energetic, that's for sure.

Serious question, not knowing the layout of the area, was that dashing back to the office done on foot or by car?

I tended to always like the guy. RIP & thanks for the enjoyment.

. You get one every time you wake up. Hell, you get one every time you breathe again. Angsty dramathought is not a facilitator to rational decision making. That's some rock-and-roll bullshit trap thought. Make the best possible Plan A, Plan B, Plan C, etc. Then go ahead and live until you die, and always be ready to pivot as needed.

See, like this!

What other musician's are / were bowlers?

The Undercover Instructor - How to Drive Your Husband's Car Without Getting Arrested!!! a 16 LP set, no box or anything else (maybe more than 16 LPs, I don't really know) , but the labels all say "International Edition", whatever that means.

god forbid that people should dance... i mean, my god, does anybody NOT know this song? So why not jam on it? Maybe then you can get enough people in the house drinking enough to slate their thirst from actually DOING something to maybe, like, you know, get a whole band paid instead of some raggedyass "jam session". People just done already lost what it means to play music. Or to even be in the room with it.

Yeah, that's in line with the story I heard/read, something like Rollins was talking to a woman that Mingus thought that he already had a line on and Mingus got, uh..."verbal" with him about it.

Or, you know, look forward, not to songs of jam sessions, but to compositions. or songs or not. Or hell, use that Chris Potter guy, he's popular today, right? Like this:

I think there was some friction between the two, for reasons unknown, although maybe going back decades and having to do with competition for a woman. The classics never go out of style.

Ok, here's one: https://www.prestomusic.com/jazz/products/8649148--cuban-fire

The tone of the academic framing, I could live with, as what is being framed is pretty useful, but dammit, I would pay extra for a bigger font!

That's what record collections are for. Jam sessions are for getting high, bruising muscles, and drawing blood, if only your own. If there's a paid audience, or even a public one, it's not really a jam session, it some place that either wouldn't/couldn't pay a band, and all that comes with that, like open mike night at a suburban comedy club. Or karaoke. I wish Glasper's output was as invigorating as his stated intentions. Either he's bullshitting or else something's getting lost on the way to the record. This whole thing is, like, just do it, right? And do it well enough that there's no question that it's right. And then, don't go and fuck up, because the safety net for that is a way lot less than it used to be. Nooses are everywhere, traps, so keep it real, keep it strong, and everybody just stop asking permission, just do it. Is that asking a lot! Maybe, but not nearly as much as just half-ass tippy-toeing and asking when people are gonna be ok with it. To the original point - did Joni Mitchell tippy-toe?

There was a picture of the '76 date in the DownBeat review, which was quite enthusiastic, iirc. I do seem to remember a photo of Rollins and Mingus from the Carter White House lawn gig. That was the first indication I had that Mingus was really ill, and it was...quite upsetting to me, to put it mildly...
