The great arranger-composer Bill Holman has died at age 96. The linear invention here in the long unison ensemble passages is quintessential Holman. R.I.P. youtube.com/watch?v=3uo31j…
I’m out here (here=/=xitter, please!) begging people to recognize the literal meaning of lyrics as extramusical only to find we got people more interested in promo photos than even the literal meaning of lyrics

i am so conflicted
I simply wouldn’t play the Grossman lick multiple times, unconsidered, standing next to one of the most creative musicians of the late-20th/early 21st centuries (I love Grossman‘s lick, but it’s 50 years old now-if you’re not thinking about what you’re doing with it, then 🤷🏼♂️?)
And with 4 months to digest Penn/Harvard

Sometimes tenor players are just the worst (watching what should be a holy recording of one of the world’s great trumpeters—now passed—in front of a technically fine big band)
Also great!
In a catalog of plenty, this is the limit
I love how Grossman gets shit for showing his Rollins respect and everyone else in that entire cohort is lauded for their Trane worship Missed Steve’s ‘homage to sonny’ record

This is not how peer review works. You and your team write something, and then it gets sent out to anonymous reviewers who are experts in the field, and potentially randomized. You don't get to peer review your own work. P.S. Cas would have been savaged by actual peer review.

as i sifted through the rubble of the zadie smith skirmish, i had a thought:
This was Zadie Smith’s take on Northern Ireland, so it’s safe to assume she’ll always happily spew forth on things she knows nothing about.

How do we get the Republican Party back to the John McCain and Mitt Romney’s of the world instead of the Ron Johnson’s and Ted Cruz’s?!
Honestly, reporters really don't need to be baiting Trump like this. Threats against jurors, witnesses, and judicial staff are not some game.
Per the hallway press pool over the morning recess, Trump didn't take the bait after Justice Merchan's threat of incarceration: "Trump walked into the courtroom at about 11:35 a.m. and did not respond when a pooler shouted: 'Mr. Trump, what do you think of jury?'"
One aspect of the MAGA-fication of Trump's defense team: They keep spinning out half-baked conspiracy theories painting Trump as a victim of the Stormy plot. But what I've noticed: Even his base isn't biting. So I doubt the jury will. An analysis. salon.com/2024/05/06/law…
