Very much worth you time. Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, Billy Joel are interviewed among others. And if I understood correctly, his first gig in the U.S. at ~17, was Jazz at the Philharmonic in Carnegie Hall. I mean... jazzsky #jazz

Listening the KLAVIERSTÜCKE by Johannes Brahms played by Sir Andràs Schiff. New stuff, for Schiff, I mean. Wonderful, not surprisingly.

Watched LES DÉSENCHANTÉES. A series that proves that 4 parts are enough if you stay on track. And although it plays with common tropes (little village, disappearance, prodigal sister, dark secrets, etc.), it plays with them in remarkable ways. The final twist is glorious and life-affirming.

Twenty years after Sarah Leroy's disappearance, journalist Fanny returns to uncover the truth and to dig deeper into a group known as "les Désenchantées," girls who knew Sarah all too well.

OK. Seven episodes in. LANTERNS is the story of two guys trying, with varying success, to break the generational cycle of abuse/trauma. It's quite remarkable. Actors are just great, and not only the leads. Feels like a mashup of superhero and True Detective shouldn't work, yet here we are.

Listening to ROYAL FLUSH by the great Donald Byrd (t) with Pepper Adams (baritone sax), Herbie Hancock (p), Butch Warren (db), and Billy Higgins (d). A great album that was probably just a day at the office for Blue Note. Thanks for the reminder, Dutch. Jazzsky #jazz

Fun fact: strategic voting is a myth. You can't vote for an aggregate result (e.g., a minority government). Why pundits keep talking about it, is a mystery to me. (Not sure that's clear.)

Listening to GUYS AND DOLLS LIKE VIBES by Eddie Costa (v), Bill Evans (p), Wendell Marshall (db), and Paul Motian (d). Fun, swinging stuff. Strange to hear Evans and Motian as real sidemen (if you know what I mean). Jazzsky #jazz

My theory: if AT LEAST 85% of your posts are not written to entertain yourself or clear your brain, you're doing social media wrong.

Also found Swan Peak. The first paragraph doesn't beat my theory that James Lee Burke is the Cormac McCarthy of detective fiction.
Cover of Swan Peak by James Lee Burke.CLETE PURCEL HAD heard of people who sleep without dreaming, but either because of the era and neighborhood in which he had grown up, or the later experiences that had come to define his life, he could not think of sleep as anything other than an uncontrolled descent into a basement where the gargoyles turned somersaults like circus midgets.

[at the supermarket looking at shelves of BBQ sauce] Do people not know how easy it is to make? And that you can jazz it up a trillion different ways depending on what you have in the house? Who's the marketing genius who came up with the idea that some were "authentic" and yours, somehow, was not?
