Farewell, Jack DeJohnette. What a luminous presence live, what a legacy on record.

I mean, I think what people want is for there not to be kings? This seems like a pretty clear and actionable demand, historically-speaking.

RIP Diane Keaton. If you haven’t seen her portrayal of Louise Bryant in Warren Beatty’s criminally underrated Reds, it’s a phenomenal performance in a brilliant picture.

Amazing to hear Cécile McLorin Salvant work her magic at the @nyphilharmonic.bsky.social opening gala! Kudos to Cécile, Adam, Yasushi, Mo. Parnther, and all of the incredible musicians of the NY Phil. It was a profound honor to have some of my arrangements included, and played so beautifully.

Exciting news: this Thursday, September 25, I make my @nyphilharmonic.bsky.social debut as an arranger — at their opening night gala! My friend and collaborator Cecile McLorin Salvant will be singing my arrangements of “With Every Breath I Take,” “Barbara Song,” and “Being Alive.”

Vinnie’s heartfelt, and moving account of the Celebrating Jim McNeely concert puts the spotlight on the three drummers who took their turns behind the kit: John Riley, Dennis Mackrel, and Adam Nussbaum. What a thrill to be in the room and feel the tapestry of time being woven by these three masters!
