·Gerry Mulligan meets Ben Webster
Jazz in 3/4 Time: Max Roach Quintette
Charlie Rouse: Epistrophy, The Last Concert October 1988
The Mulligan lp is a just released edition and is superb.

I always thought blues was the true American music but many say jazz. Maybe they both are.

·Jazz is so hot. I sit in with some guys who are light years ahead of me. I like playin bass with them as it kinda holds jazz together but when these guys go off into their “solos” or own thing they seems to let it flow, play by feeling not thinking. That’s where I faulter and “fail” at jazz. I think I force it. It can sound like a hot mess but it isn’t. It’s true feeling. Then it pulls back together.

Jazz is Blues by structure. Jazz arose from Blues.
FreeForm or Avant-garde music borrowed only the instruments of Jazz.
Room enough for both in the great punchbowl of Music.
The bass in Jazz, as intended, was like a tent pole, it allowed all the other accoutrements to be tethered but flexible in form.
Bass was the anchor, baby!😀 When you see the tent, y'all are cookin',baby, but, as you say, when not, the tent kinda collapses.
Just be happy the stand-up bass replaced the tuba early in the beginning😀

·Had to go to work today for a cold weather protocol meeting. We are going to be -0. Fahrenheit for a while so it creates some havoc at work. Unfortunately I found my original director passed last night. She was 46 with two young daughters ended up in hospice 2 weeks ago. She was one of those people who got the diagnosis 11 months ago made sure she lived life as much as she could and made peace with the end early in her diagnosis. I was just surprised as I visited her last week and she was bright and responsive.
She was a great boss and even a greater person. She had some very marketable skills which could have brought her a lot more money than running a homeless shelter. Anyway she told me this is the song she would have written about passing on if Levon hadn’t beaten her to it. I feel bad for her family but I’m glad she is at peace and free of pain. So a couple songs for Rebekah and I hope to see you again.
