Middle-aged, over-educated, overly idealistic, and at a crossroads. I don’t want to “work” anymore. I want to help people in need to continue in my calling, and also play music until I die. That’s it.

Cecil Payne en concert le 20 novembre 1985 au Petit Opportun à Paris (1/2) Nous dédions cette émission à Bernard Rabaud qui nous a quittés le 27 décembre dernier et qui, de 1977 à 2003, accueillait avec son caractère légendaire toute la planète jazz, dans son petit club pari...

Note to self: worth keeping an eye on France Musique's weekend jazz schedule. The great baritone saxophonist Cecil Payne with an excellent local rhythm section in Paris in 1985.

The Jazz Apple (History of New York jazz) - Channel 4 documentary 1990 - Part 1
The Jazz Apple (History of New York jazz) - Channel 4 documentary 1990 - Part 1

Tonight's listening is tonight's watching. The Jazz Apple: A History of New York Jazz, a BBC documentary from 1990. It's fantastic. Not a history really. Rather it's Joe Temperley, a Scottish transplant, great sax player, & genial host, introducing us to the NY scene, making music & telling stories.

JERU by saxophonist and bandleader Gerry Mulligan was recorded in 1962 and released on the Columbia.
Not considered “essential” listening, it’s still a great jazz record as “Mulligan is in fine form” making it perfect for light listening on a Saturday morning. #Jazz #vinyl #audiophile
