During the 1940s, the Commodore Music Shop in Midtown Manhattan was the beating heart of the New York jazz scene. Founded and run by Milt Gabler, it served as a club, hang-out spot, production office, & cultural sanctuary for musicians, collectors & fans. #JazzMusic #JazzSky #NewYork1940s #NewYork

Seven years ago today, Small's Jazz Club in New York. It had to be around 4:30 AM. Started off at Smokes Jazz Club for a show by Al Foster, then stopped in Midtown to catch the late set at Birdland Jazz Club for Kurt Elling, then headed down to Smalls. #JazzMusic #JazzSky #NYJazz #NewYork #Smalls

Happy Birthday to Blues Legend Taj Mahal who turned 84 years young on May 17th. The other fellow is someone I remember when he played the sax in our school band, and is a life long friend, the Crown Prince of Zydeco, CJ Chenier, son of legendary Clifton Chenier. #Blues #TajMahal #Zydeco #CJChenier

We could all pay heed to these wise words spoken by pianist/composer/vocalist/activist Nina Simone who words have resonance beyond music, but applies to the reality of the world we live in today. #JazzMusic #JazzSky #NinaSimone #WorldEvents #USA #Iran #BlackSky #Monday #Wisdom #BlackWomen

Amazing set at the iconic @villagevanguard.bsky.social by the Billy Hart Quartet with Ethan Iverson-piano, Walter Smith-tenor, Ben Street-bass and the legend Billy Hart on drums. I swear you can feel the ghosts of Jazz legends when you walk down those stairs! #JazzMusic #JazzSky #VillageVanguard

Next up on my Jazz Reading list just arrived, a book people have sung the praises of, "Beyond Category: The Life and Genius of Duke Ellington" by John Edward Hasse. I have read a few Duke biographies, this one may be the best. #JazzMusic #skyjazz #DukeEllington #SkyBooks #blacksky

So long Sophie, thanks for choosing us. She choose us 14 years ago. Though she was but little, she was fierce. The Queen Bee of the Animal Kingdom here, she ruled from her throne on the top of the sofa. Then comes the day all pet owners dread. But what she shared will always be here #Dogs #Pets

RIP to a GREAT Human Being and a GREAT President. His deregulation of the airline industry made air travel affordable to millions. You like Craft Beer, he changed regulations which did not support small brewers help usher in the craft beer industry.. Created the Dept of Education #RIPJimmyCarter

Sheba taking me for my morning walk. I have learned in the year I have had her, you have got to keep Belgian Malinois busy. But its a beautiful crystalline blue and brisk day here and yes the effects of Hurricane Beryl are still evident #BluSky #Dogs #BelgianMalinois @dogphotography0.bsky.social
