Happy birthday, Reggie workman! I love the solid, spacious environment he creates. That level of skill/sensitivity is the foundation needed for a solo as beautiful as Dolphy’s, here. #happybirthday #music #musicsky #jazzmusic #jazzsky #doublebassist youtu.be/ovLjNyByBOk?...

Was listening to “The Paris Concert” last night. It is one of my favorite Keith Jarrett solo piano records. This version of a Chet Baker deep cut is really awesome. #music #musicsky #jazzmisic #jazzsky youtu.be/LLxI2TZP2qo?...

Today is the anniversary of Sonny Rollins’ recording of “Blue 7”. Rather than a link to that great track, here’s Gunther Schuller writing about it, focusing on “thematic development”. #music #musicsky #jazzmusic #jazzsky www.jazzstudiesonline.org/files/jso/re...

A phenomenal Hal Willner production from the #lpcollection - I don’t have one of his recordings, but all of them that I have are spectacular. This one is no exception. #music #musicaky #jazzmusic #jazzsky #ninorota

Massive THANK YOU to Brian Friedland for cultivating such a great, positive, musically curious space at the Square Root, and inviting to play Eric Dolphy’s music a few weeks ago. And to play with this band? Incredible. #jazzmusic #doublebassist #holisticbassist #jazzsky #music #musicsky

Today is a great day to listen to Charlie Haden’s Liberation Music Orchestra albums. Strike that. Every day is. #music #musicsky #jazzmusic #jazzsky youtu.be/QRrP4LfYNW0?...

Morning #commuterelief is Charlie Haden’s “Liberation Music Orchestra”, partly because @oldnavyguy.bsky.social recommended it today and partly because I’m playing some of this music at gigs this weekend. #jazzmusic #jazzsky #music #musicsky
