...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.

Charles Bukowski

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.

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

Tonight's Jazz After Hours is minutes away. The stream starts from jazzafterhours.net at 6P PDT. Broadcast schedule is available at jazzafterhours.net/stations/. Highlight tonight, the sax quartet known as The Empress. Stream or listen on radio. It's the freshest new jazz.
