Afternoon listening: Sonny Stitt - Boppin' In Baltimore, Live at the Left Bank
Alto sax master in quartet with Kenny Barron, Sam Jones and Louis Hayes. Four of the masters putting in a solid night at the office in 1973, two discs worth of standards, bop and blues. Stitt slays on alto. My only complaint: piano is way too low in the mix, barely audible at times. Still, we're lucky to have every one of these documents from the vaults.

🎬 Watched "An American in Paris" (1951) @ #TCM. American soldier #GeneKelley stays in the city after #WWII to pursue his career as a #painter.
▶️ In my #queer imagination: Kerry's #American "Jerry Mulligan" stumbles into a #queer #LeftBank bar or salon, meets "Jean-Claude—M. Raison" and lives happily ever after?
This is how some #queer people watch movies. I'M the one the male movie-star heartthrob is kissing and holding passionately. Since I was about 8.

#Lebonheur is a really subversive film and a great counterpart to what was happening with male dominated French New Wave at the time-1965. It’s a film that challenges the patriarchal society’s notion of happiness. Why does a woman’s happiness always have to be tied to her man’s? Why does she have to settle with what she has or one making sacrifices? Shot in idyllic summertime w/sun-kissed photography, the film hides its real prodding intentions very well.
