Yes. It was like movies in the 70s. Debating whether to go see the new Coppola or the new Scorsese while neglecting Hitchcock.

Alfie doesn't get enough recognition for his world-class tail. #caturday

Probably right, but Dorham's and Adderley's sounds are just magical.

That's right! Nicholson's in that too!

Listening to BLUE SPRING by the Kenny Dorham Septet with Julian 'Cannonball' Adderley. From 1959, when the world was knee deep in jazz masterpieces. Had never heard it, but, good lord, do yourself a favor and taken a listen. Jazzsky #jazz

and yes, Keaton was a style icon. No doubt.

Diane Keaton. I have fond memories of REDS, by and with and by Warren Beatty.

If you don't know the Bobo Stenson Trio, suggest you start here. Their best, imho. Thank me later. Jazzsky #jazz

Listening to CONTRA LA INDECISIÓN by the Bobo Stenson Trio. Hadn't listened to this in a while. Holds up nicely. Overtly, yet not overwhelmingly, ECM-ey. #nowplaying #jazz jazzsky

Listening to this again. Maybe my favorite from this legendary trio. I'm no musician, but I think that's what they mean when they say a band is "tight". Jazzsky #jazz

Listening to WE GET REQUESTS by Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, and Ed Thigpen. So, so, sooooooooo good. One of their best imo. Jazzsky #jazz

Blakey has my vote as the GOAT band leader, and surely one of the most important figure in jazz. I mean, look who went to school with the Messengers. Mind-boggling. And what a flawless drummer, too.

I’ve finished the rough sketches for all 32 frames. I sort of like it loose like this, but I hope to keep working on some details.

VC: how bout AI soldiers?

Me: well, I think we should start by seeing if we can improve synchronization of traffic lights first.
