This is my favorite from the WBT catalog.

Have you made it to Targowa in Wroclaw? I was there last summer and remember them having a decent selection of local brews.

Jazz haters suck

The best time to buy someone's album is Bandcamp Friday. The second best time is right freakin' now.

Gentle reminder that you don’t have to wait until #BandcampFriday to support indie musicians. The cut Bandcamp takes isn’t egregious and, speaking from experience, it is great feeling when someone buys your music unexpectedly.

A photo of Louis Armstrong arriving in Sidney, Australia, in 1954. He is sitting on top of a fence, dressed in a suit and playing his trumpet. There is a crowd of people gathered behind him, with some holding a large banner that says "Welcome Satchmo"

Louis Armstrong always said he was born on July 4th, 1900, but jazz scholars now say it was actually August 4th, 1901. But the truth is he sounds great on any date! Tune in for an hour of Armstrong on the Crescent City Connection, Saturday at 10am on the Rock'n'Soul stream from @wfmu.bsky.social.

The official 50th birthday gig for Koba and me! Next Friday at the Triad Theater on 72nd Street.
