Good stuff.    What do you think of Abbey Lincoln as a singer?  I never liked her voice, but maybe that's just me.  Ronstadt and Fitzgerald were great.  Wilson was her usual self.  Whatever that is.  But as a great diva once said, Its a Saxophone World.   Its Stitt!!

One of my 'Walker' friends just walked past The Blue Note Jazz Club.  Coming attrraction poster inside the front door was for Brandee Younger.  Turns out she is a 'Jazz' harpist!!  Lawd, Lawd.

Cheers

Got the quote.  What is the point of quotes?  Do they have to have any relationship to the tune being played?

Based on what I see from my "city walkers",  NYC is still the most impressive city.  Once they passed by the place where Wynton and boys play.

Cheers

Now, what Gershwin (hint) tune does Clark quote?

I could not detect the quote. If he had not used that silly mute, I might have. The curse of Miles. Muddy even drowned him out.

The performance does show how Jazz and Blues can meld seamlessly.

I am well. How are things in the Big Apple? The Governor here in Texas offered me a free bus ticket if I would move there. What a guy!

Mary Jo,

I like it also.  Had to look him up.  From wiki:

What is the meaning of Gnossienne?

Noun. gnossienne (plural gnossiennes) (music, often capitalized) Any of several compositions having a dance-like quality.

How old was Satie when he died?

The French composer and pianist Erik Satie died at the age of 59 in Arcueil, a suburb of Paris. The cause of death was cirrhosis of the liver; Satie had long been a heavy drinker. Absinthe, which can have an alcohol content as a high as 74%, was his favorite.

Did Erik Satie carry a hammer?

In the habit: Satie was a man of habits: every day he walked the 10 miles from his house to work, stopping at cafès along the way. He always carried an umbrella, and he stowed a hammer beneath his coat to defend himself if necessary.

Not a man to be trified with.

Cheers
