I've got a King who needs our adulation, and so much... Moore:

This crept into my head out of nowhere, and now that's YOUR problem, too. (And happy Black Friday to all who celebrate, so long as I'm here.)

Ann Ronell, composer of "Willow Weep For Me" (only the best damn Tin Pan Alley song to become a jazz standard that ever was and I will die on this hill) and Nice Jewish Girl™, was born on an Xmas Day and passed away on one, too! #20thCenturyJazz #InternationalWomensDay

The eternal fear & its matching question:

"Now you've got me thinkin' that I missed my cue.

"Am I doing what you meant me to?" 🤔

The Jazz station looking straight into my head by bringing out "I X Love" by Charles Mingus.

Why, yes I AM a walking cliche'. What of it?!

Anyway, it's Black Friday somewhere they tell me. The Fitzgerald/Pass Pablo LPs are delightful and anytime you see one you should pounce. (Funds permitting.) Cheers!

Melba Liston, who would've been 97 yesterday. Since the Black Friday tag mentioned that, I have a good excuse to post this beauty again:

The entire 1976 album *Insights* is on YT. It'd be a pity not to share. If you don't know what her mini-symphony *Minamata* refers to, look it up. Heartbreaking as it is, it will add to your appreciation of this incredible work. (It's a shame that liner notes can't be easily added to YT.)

Concord just seemed to be firing on all cylinders in the 1990s and one of my main sorrows was that I couldn't just scoop up *everything* of theirs that I saw. But I still have this one. #20thcenturyjazz

A modest New Year's gift for my piano-maven friends on Fedi. <3

Front cover of sheet music from the early 1940s.
"Down the Road A Piece" across top, marquee-style. Red background with stylized grand piano lid holding descriptive text, including "8 to the bar BOOGIE WOOGIE piano solo series." Row of tiny keys faintly visible below the huge, angled lid: creates the effect of opening a greeting card.
