Happy birthday to Miles Davis on what would have been his 99th birthday. No major updates to this list of my personal Miles Top 10, but I added a third bonus track in the coda. Next year will be the Miles' centennial ...

A class I wish I could have taken along the way. Freedman is a hero. He's also right about the fact that there's no such thing as writer's block, only failure to have done enough reporting or one's ego getting in the way of putting words on the page. nytimes.com/2025/05/25/boo…

B. 6/3/23: Al Harewood, one of the all-time swingers. He plays a rimshot on 4 in every bar here for 9 min w/just 3 exceptions, all in the same spot: bar before the bridge on the opening melody & during both trumpet choruses. It’s almost performance art. youtube.com/watch?v=M6a62E…
