the jazz world can learn a lot from punk & hardcore scenes when it comes to show architecture, merch production + support, band solidarity, general dgafness. jazz is the original punk music but got institutionalized, academized, & white washed — posing a big threat to the music

every day on tour: "you were ______. are you from around here?" "thanks! no i'm from chicago actually." "so you came all the way out here for this show???" "nah i'm just on tour. i played a bunch of shows on my way out here." *absolutely bewildered look* ???????????????????

Proud to announce the release of the Outside World Composition Book! Nearly a decade’s worth of music charts spanning Henry Solomon & Logan Kane’s collaboration across three albums minaretrecords.com/shop/p/outside…

Jaco was so proud that Ray Brown was playing his bass. I snapped this photo backstage/downstairs at the Hollywood Bowl in 1981 during the 3rd annual Playboy Jazz Festival there. Weather Report hit the stage shortly after this picture was taken, as I recall.

Paul Cornish has signed with Blue Note & will release his debut album this summer! The pianist is a member of Joshua Redman's band & the next in a lineage of young jazz talent from the fertile Houston scene that includes Jason Moran, Robert Glasper & more. bluenote.com/pianist-paul-c…
