I mean, can’t miss with that track.

The entree for me was Brubeck. I still think Take Five is among the best ever. And Unsquare Dance is one of the more obscurely brilliant tracks.

am now freelancing with Elvin Jones, hands down the best jazz drummer of all time, and my dark horse candidate for one of the all time great band leaders

I saw him play at Sprague Hall at Yale in 2000 or 2001, and he could barely walk to the drums, but damn could he still play

One of our dearest friends comes to town every year, we drink heavily, have a first course of caviar and a main course of nachos. It is the best way to Thanksgiving.

What do you think they would be reporting differently at this moment if they did know someone who serves in the National Guard? (completely genuine question!)

I'm a little too young to remember him as an ump, but I still think about those books all the time. I'm so excited to read your bio of him. Thank you!
