Tomorrow: Monk songs at The Pocket
The last two times I’ve gotten on a Delta flight, the boarding music has been a pianist playing “Smells Like Teen Spirit”
haha nice
Thelonious Monk songbook with Chris Potter, Larry Grenadier, and Nasheet Waits at great new club The Pocket on October 7 (to be roughly timed with Monk’s birthday)
NEW at the main site, an interview with the owner of the Village Vanguard, Deborah Gordon, about her new book LAST OF THE JAZZ JOINTS iverson.substack.com/p/interview-...
tonight
Aren’t Republicans worried about the midterms? Shouldn’t they just wait until a few months until they do this cull? Strange
Everyone sounds great, the opening blues is in 5/4, and the rep is interesting. One of the last studio records with Wayne in such fervent form as a sideman (other than with Miles)
Listening to Bobby Timmons THE SOUL MAN!, early 1966 with Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter, Jimmy Cobb. Great record, perhaps a bit under-appreciated.
I also worked pretty hard on an overview of Philip Marlowe cinema iverson.substack.com/p/marlowes-m...
periodic reminder that I'm mainly on Substack these days.
Latest is about Douglas Adams
