What a drag! Gonna have to look up those dates, because I’m sure I have them and if I don’t, I need to get them!

Rick McLaughlin @rickmclaughlin.com · 21h

Agreed. I love basically every record I have with those cats on it. I also have the mosaic box set with the complete Tristano with Konitz and Marsh. Stunning.

Happy birthday, Lee Konitz! Too many incredible performances of his to mention so here’s one that is taking on new meaning as I get ready for the George Russell concert on Nov 9.

Ha! No lab coat. I’ve been thinking about wearing a lab coat when teaching theory classes, but yes, he would have worn it better.

Happy birthday, Lester Bowie! True story: I actually ran into him at the Sistine chapel. Hard to believe that it’s true, but I have witnesses.

That’s my favorite 80s Miles record

Absolutely incredible. Not Monk but I love Motian’s “on broadway” records too.

1/Happy birthday, Thelonious Monk! Obviously, his compositions and performances are awesome and iconic, but I also love the music of people who have taken inspiration from him. Take “Brilliant Corners, for example…

Happy birthday, Giulio Caccini!
His “Le Nuove Musiche” is still pretty awesome 400+ years later.

Happy birthday, Larry Young! I absolutely love his album “Unity”. He’s also so great on the first Tony Williams Lifetime album.

Yes, there’s a pick up. I’m not sure which style pick up they use, but it would be designed around the bridge, with the objective of not impeding the vibration of the bridge itself. Challenging. Then, the pick up would go to an amplifier, and sometimes other affects like reverb and compression.

That’s Mark Johnson. Pretty sure he’s playing a Kolstein Busetto.
