Torpedo

Speaking of new Macs have you all updated to Catalina? Still any compatibility issues? My old MBP won't take it, but wife's Air would. Unsure if it's working fine already.

RIP Kobe.

RIP Terry

I've known that another great jazz cat, although rather overlooked, Claudio Roditi, died the 17th. RIP Claudio.

Jazz saxophonist Jimmy Heath, brother to late Percy and to Albert "Tootsie".

The One A woman meets a man in a bar. They talk; they connect; they end up leaving together.. They get back to his place, and as he shows her around his apartment. she notices that one wall of his bedroom is completely filled with soft, sweet, cuddly teddy bears. There are three shelves in the bedroom, with hundreds and hundreds of cute, cuddly teddy bears carefully placed in rows, covering the entire wall! It was obvious that he had taken quite some time to lovingly arrange them and she was immediately touched by the amount of thought he had put into organizing the display. There were small bears all along the bottom shelf. Medium-sized bears covering the length of the middle shelf. And huge, enormous bears running all the way along the top shelf. She found it strange for an obviously masculine guy to have such a large collection of Teddy Bears, She is quite impressed by his sensitive side. But doesn't mention this to him. They share a bottle of wine and continue talking and, after awhile, she finds herself thinking, 'Oh my God! Maybe, this guy could be the one! Maybe he could be the future father of my children?' She turns to him and kisses him lightly on the lips. He responds warmly. They continue to kiss, the passion builds. And he romantically lifts her in his arms and carries her into his bedroom. Where they rip off each other's clothes and make hot, steamy love. She is so overwhelmed that she responds with more passion, more creativity, more heat than she has ever known. After an intense, explosive night of raw passion with this sensitive guy, they are lying there together in the afterglow. The woman rolls over, gently strokes his chest and asks coyly, 'Well, how was it?' The guy gently smiles at her, strokes her cheek, looks deeply into her eyes, and says: 'Help yourself to any prize from the middle shelf.'

Quincy Jones - Live in Ludwigshafen 1961 "His Orchestra" were this bunch: Benny Bailey: trumpet; Freddie Hubbard: trumpet; Paul Cohen: trumpet; Curtis Fuller: trombone; Melba Liston: trombone; Ake Persson: trombone; David Baker: trombone; Julius Watkins: French horn; Phil Woods: alto saxophone; Joe Lopes: alto saxophone; Eric Dixon: tenor saxophone, flute; Budd Johnson: tenor saxophone; Sahib Shahib: baritone saxophone, flute; Patti Bown: piano; Les Spann: guitar, flute; Buddy Catlett: bass; Carlos "Patato" Valdes: conga drums; Stu Martin: drums; It's a bittersweet experience listening to such good performers at their prime trying to succeed when their craft was losing the popularity contest. Such is life, who would have told Quincy in those days that he would hit it producing Thriller about twenty years later. He went next to bankruptcy because of that european tour in the early 60s.

Happy Birthday!!!

Maverick Sabre - When I Woke Up

Get well soon, Jose. What a way of starting the year. I've been at a hospital in new year's eve as a patient and as a worker, neither is awesome, but after all it's like any other day. Sex deprivation is worse, I wish it stops hurting soon

Yes, may it be a good one. Best wishes!

A radioactive one, I'd say.

Happy christmasy Birthday, Ric!

Have the merriest day

Finally something I'd understand how it works and that I could use

Enrico Rava & Joe Lovano - Roma To me one of the best jazz releases in 2019. It's available on Tidal and they have that MQA shit as well.
