Bmore folks: there is an absolutely fantastic art exhibit at the Eubie Blake Jazz Center right now that will blow your mind. It's a group show of Black artists; each work is paired with music selections chosen by local musicians you can hear via headphones.

I'm really excited about this new record from a good friend of our show, trumpeter Etienne Charles. He never fails to delight and surprise. His track Gullypso leads off Friday night's Jazz After Hours. You'll be hearing it on Jazz Happening Now too.

...If you're going
to try, go all the way.
There is no other feeling like
that. You will be alone
with the gods, and the nights
will flame with fire.
You will ride life straight
to perfect laughter.
It's the only good fight there is.

2022 was the year of the butterfly here. Monarchs were our project for most of the summer and fall. We launched 8 youngsters in '22.

In ‘25 the cycle has turned and we are again graced by many adults, stopping by for a meal and some egg laying.

Reports from the Monarch nursery to come.

Clever criminality, this one. Almost fell for it...OFL. Good thing he's a dirtbag and not a jazz musician. I'd hate to have to say that name on the radio.

Tune of the day…Benny Carter - Blue Star. This original of his starts off with the great Coleman Hawkins stating the melody. I always love how Benny soars leading a sax section. Then his flourishes while soloing on a ballad is something to behold. Great arranging too. #jazzsky youtu.be/xzfQ8X0IiXU

This one jumps out at me. New from the Divas. Director Sherrie Maricle is a national treasure. Maurice was a treasure in his own right. The record's a little ol' skool but there always room for a look back. The vocals are fun & the Divas play at their usual very high level. Listen for it on my shows

We have really been enjoying this. An excellent diversion from the noise and nonsense outside.

I love this Brooklyn photographer's work. She manages to capture more than a beautiful image. Her shots almost always capture personality and drama beyond the bird's physical beauty. ✱ Full disclosure: I own 3 of her photos.

Her work always makes me smile.
I fell in love with this Juvenile Red-bellied Woodpecker.
He was spending his time trying to forage on his own but relied heavily on his father to feed him (photos to come).
He was a noisy little bugger, making his way from tree to tree. 💕

Transformed from a derelict, boarded up liquor store to a local neighborhood market, full of great fresh food and a family setting the tone with their good vibes and willingness to make a positive investment in the neighborhood. A change to be celebrated.
