Now a man of renown, from Dingle to Down

And where it's gonna end, God only knows
Down all the days
The tap-tap-tapping of the typewriter pays
The gentle rattling of the drays
Down all the days"

Tune of the day…Quincy Jones - Quintessence. This is the recording I tell my alto students to check out to teach them how to take control of an alto sax feature on a ballad. Nobody did it better than Phil Woods, who defines lead alto playing in the modern big band. #jazxsky youtu.be/u2hqgJGVMEk

Tune of the day…Grachan Moncur III - Thandiwa. This tune in 3 has a Monk like quirkiness about it. It’s a simple chord progression & clear 16 bar form, yet you have Wayne, Grachan, Herbie, Cecil, and Tony really exploring all the possibilities this tune provides them. #jazzsky youtu.be/XyVZOzalAAc

I thought the earlier news from A&M was bad, but this is incredibly bleak. It’s close to the point of not having a functional university.
Message to all faculty: your expertise is no longer trusted or valued at this so-called “university.”
