A justly famous session.
And, less than 2 weeks later, he was gone.
I feel comfortable saying that if I 100% real, no hyperbole survive this month there will be treats and surprises to come from me.

another spring song for me. Part of it is simply the “daffodil” in the title.Another reason is a specific heartbreaking memory linked to this occurred during spring.There’s more,but prefer to be a man of mystery.🤩🫠

The weak ass forsythia I mentioned.
Also, I found the lyrics you selected great. I like when people share what stands out to them and compare them to pops out to you.

#6: The King Swings (Williams - see #1)
Lineup: as Post #3 (The Isolated Pawn)
A second clip from "Jazz Scene USA" (> Post #3). Manne's group recorded 2 chess suites. But to me, the 1961 album surpasses "Gambit" (4 pieces by Charlie Mariano), 1957.

#2: Emerald Tears (Holland)
Dave Holland: db solo
Oslo, Aug 1977
Yes, of course ECM. But not tending to bleak, as that label occasionally has been. A well-cut, multi-faceted, coruscating gem in the middle & deeper registers of music.
