Rest in Peace Jack DeJohnette. Listen to Bitches Brew today (and anything he did with ECM, Keith Jarrett, etc.)

Oscar Peterson would have been 100 years old today. For my money, the greatest pianist of all time. A master technician with pop sensibilities and the PERFECT access point if you're looking to listen to more jazz. Check out Night Train or West Side Story or his take on Gershwin and go from there!

Tonight’s lineup. Starting with Mongo Santamaria and Art Blakey live albums. Then Sonny Rollins playing with Miles Davis’ amazing band (Coltrane, but no Davis!) and then Cymande’s self-titled masterpiece. #jazzsky

Call me Napoleon because I'm blasting Cannonballs on the record player tonight while I write...
My writing is better than that "Call me Napoleon" thing. I mean, I'm mostly outlining, so it isn't like BETTER better. The hope is that it will, at some point, be better. Hard to know for sure. #JazzSky

Was lucky enough to see this beautiful, immersive performance by Kamasi Washington tonight. Several bands spread throughout the gallery, a choir, a woodwind section, brass, strings, all interacting with each other. Truly beautiful! If this ain't nice. #JazzSky

The wisdom to use a James Gandolfini type to model the Trail Blazers plush embroidered robe will eventually lead us to a championship. Do not lose faith.

Cannonball with Bill Evans and the MJQ rhythm section. Erroll Garner spinning gold in Carmel. Oscar Peterson and Clark Terry going back and forth playing the brightest music you’ve ever heard. All this plus you’re a grown up who can eat Cold Stone pretty much WHENEVER. #jazzsky
