Junior Mance is one of my favorite piano accompanists. He's in failing health but seems happy and has a good support network. I'm not familiar with this recording, will check it out, thanks JS. after this one:

Listening to # IV

Habana by Roy Hargrove

I've not seen this image of Miles before today. It was in this article from Bill King: https://www.fyimusicnews.ca/articles/2019/05/08/miles-davis-birth-cool

The Human Touch: Human/Nature Winner. It’s no exaggeration to say that André Bauma, the head caretaker at the Senkwekwe Center for orphaned gorillas in Virunga National Park, risks his life daily for the animals in his care. In recent decades, more than 170 rangers have been killed in the park, and the Senkwekwe Center has been overrun by rebels on multiple occasions. Even in these moments, Bauma has never abandoned the center’s gorillas. "Gorilla caretakers with those gorilla orphans? We are the same family," he says. "They know we are their mums." # James Gifford / BigPicture Photography Competition

Happy Friday! This is the Balcombe viaduct on the main railway line from London to Brighton, completed in 1842.

Thanks Kevin, looks like you saved me $$$. This sounds so pedestrian.

I checked. I have Amazon Music streaming service. After clicking on medjuck's link I see that I can stream the music now from this service. The other choices show pre-order status.

Good morning!

He's scheduled to come back to Scullers on May 18th with Esperanza and Bob Hurst. I haven't listened to him since his release Bit**** back in 2011. He looks thinner now. Keyboards???

I'm not back in college, just pretending. This book is packed with examples, formulas, how-to's, etc. I am trying to predict how much a customer is willing to pay for a product in the future. The book is thick, the print is small, and the only pictures are of spreadsheets.

Hi all, work has been kicking me hard lately, leaving little time for music. It's early and no one is in the office so I'm taking advantage by listening to this:

Love this picture!

I was at Scullers on Friday. Wayne Escoffery with Rashaan Carter-bass, David Kikoski-piano and Kush Abadey-drums. The band was in top form, playing was spectacular. I wish they played longer but it seems just over an hour is the new norm for a live show.

Taken from The Lenox School of Jazz by Jeremy Yudkin There were two recordings made around the date of the photo. The Modern Jazz Quartet at Music Inn (Atlantic 1247), guest artist Jimmy Giuffre, recorded August 28, 1956 and The Concert at Music Inn (Atlantic 1298), recorded August 30th. Other guests at the Inn at that time include Herbie Mann, Pee Wee Russell, Rex Stuart, Teddy Charles, Oscar Pettiford, Quincy Jones, Willie 'The Lion' Smith, Ray Brown, Dick Katz and George Wein. There was also a panelist session with Charles Mingus, Max Roach, Sonny Rollins, & Dizzy Gillespie. MJQ was in residency. Funny, there's no mention of Miles.

Cannonball Adderley at the Music Inn in Lenox, MA, on August 30, 1956?

It's a picture with sound. Composition by Hubble. Space becomes “sonified” in this visualization of a cluster of galaxies imaged by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Time flows left to right, and the frequency of sound changes from bottom to top, ranging from 30 to 1,000 hertz. Objects near the bottom of the image produce lower notes, while those near the top produce higher ones. Most of the visible specks are galaxies housing countless stars. A few individual stars shine brightly in the foreground. Stars and compact galaxies create short, clear tones, while sprawling spiral galaxies emit longer notes that change pitch. The higher density of galaxies near the center of the image — the heart of this galaxy cluster, known as RXC J0142.9+4438 — results in a swell of mid-range tones halfway through the video. Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field Camera 3 acquired this image on Aug. 13, 2018.

This was a big Boston topic before last nights game:

I thought the two sisters did an excellent version of America the Beautiful. I also liked Gladys Knight but at times I thought she was slightly ahead of the beat. The half-time show was boring. Yes Ghost, today is known as Truck Day in Boston. It's when the Red Sox truck full of spring training gear leaves Boston for Florida.
