Happy Birthday to double bassist/cellist Ron Carter, born Ronald Levin Carter on May 4, 1937, in Ferndale, Michigan! His appearances on over 2,500 albums make him one of the most-recorded bassists in jazz history. (more in alt text)

WE ARE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL

Doctor: If you don't start exercising you'll die. Edward Scissorhands: MY MOM SAYS I'M NOT ALLOWED TO RUN.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are in the presence of greatness. Mr. Ron Carter is here! #jazz #jazzsky #milesdavis #roncarter

Patrick Swayze's birth name was actully Patrichard Crayze. He changed his surname to reflect his penchant for dancing.

Sunday worship. An album that always stops you in your tracks if you're trying to do something else other than just listen and be mesmerised #jazzsky #musicsky

Appearances on more than 2000 recording sessions. Worked with Kenny Burrell, Eric Dolphy, Herbie Hancock, Freddie Hubbard, Wes Montgomery, Miles Davis, Oliver Nelson, Wayne Shorter, McCoy Tyner etc. etc. etc…… Jazz wouldn't be the same without, Mr. Ron Carter. #thejazzworld #jazzsky #Music #jazz

If you want to write to your Labour MP about disability benefit cuts but have limited spoons, here’s a template from @sensecharity.bsky.social you can use: t.co/E8QB6EDi9o Public backlash *does* work at times so let’s keep the pressure up. You too, non-disabled allies!

I'm going to lower the tone now, and share this clip from Colbert's interview with Gary Oldman, who loses it completely when 'Jackson Lamb's noises are added to his other roles...

Drops of God on Apple TV+ seems to have gone completely under the radar and is completely superb for anyone who might be interested out there... youtube.com/watch?v=3_y2...

Reason I need cheering up: too unwell with my illness and all the wrapped-up stuff that I can't travel to Manchester tomorrow to visit with my folks and go to watch @mancity.com. Happened too many times this last two months. Thank Mother Nature & Father Time for the spring...

Also cheering me up: my lovely missus has got us tickets to see Herbie Hancock at the Barbican in July!

This was soo good. Especially as narrator Bill Andrew Quinn does a cracking old age Sonny impersonation

George Braith and co helping to cheer me up #jazzsky

although I have many musical recs for these times I think the most important one is anything where Herbie Hancock is playing the piano. that recent Miles box he does amazing work. Maiden Voyage always hits exactly right. playing honestly too good for this world but while we have it we can hear it

Vibing with Roy Ayers on sideman duties. RIP maestro #jazzsky open.spotify.com/album/6Dn83U...

An often-terrifying, overwhelming, intense, combustible screen presence like no other; an auteur-actor par excellence. RIP Gene Hackman.
