Judge Immergut, we read in the Oregonian this morning, “impermissibly second-guessed the Commander in Chief’s military judgments.”

What's this? Cadet Bone Spurs? Military judgments?

And Portland still isn't burning.

Nicely done, Congresswoman.

Hasn't become any less true with the passage of years.

Bax should be played more often. Especially his chamber music and Enchanted Summer. And the Garden of Fand... and my list could go on and on...

"Garden of Fand" is exquisite.

Waldron was -- no, is -- great. Especially love his work with Jeanne Lee.

One of the things I've always loved about this building is that no matter how many times the powers-that-be repaint the water tower, taggers always manage to cover it in graffiti again -- a testament to the resiliency of artists.

Sheila Jordan with Steve Kuhn at the Blue Note, November 2012. What was she singing when I snapped this? I'd like to think it was "Tomorrow's Son."

Anyone else have the feeling that Charlie Kirk's murder smells like an inside job? Anna Paulina Luna behaving like a paid professional mourner was the initial giveaway, but look at the too-neat timing of the shot, then DJT's announcement, then on-cue calls to go after the "Left." @governor.ca.gov

Lovely.

I wonder what they talked about.

There's no "like" Holiday, Mingus, or Coltrane; there is only "such as." Be that as it may, Waldron was -- and is -- wonderful.

Late night listening vibes... the September issue of "In the Wilderness," my monthly KXRW radio show, streams now...

Photography for the day...

reminiscent of Beauford Delaney's work... not only in the colors, but in that submerging quality. Very nice!

From a literary magazine email: "Our reasons for not accepting particular submissions often have more to do with the shape of our recent acquisitions and upcoming issues than with the quality of writing we receive."

Logic, anyone?

She's brilliantly funny @lilytomlin.bsky.social

Lovely, especially the top left.

So glad she did.

Nicely done!

Last Year's Waltz is such an #underrated record. Sheila's generosity of spirit practically leaps from the vinyl! She and Steve Kuhn were terrific together, one of the great partnerships in jazz or music of any kind. #sheilajordan

Wow! Fantastic performance by #SheilaJordan. I've always loved that haunted quality her ballads have.

YouTube video by Steve Kuhn - Topic The City Of Dallas (Live At Fat Tuesday's, New York City / 1981)

Like so many of you, I'm thinking of Sheila Jordan this morning.

Her singing Steve Swallow's satirical "City of Dallas" w/Steve Kuhn is easily my favorite of her live recordings. Hear how the crowd cries out, "More!" I know how they felt.

Sheila will be missed. Greatly missed.
