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.

Big Apple is…….well, it’s been better. Cleaner, at least. What a guy, indeed, but I always figured you were legal 😊.
“It Ain’t Necessarily So” @ 1:20. Plunger mute, perfect for the Blues. Best.

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!

Now, what Gershwin (hint) tune does Clark quote? 😊. Brilliant.
(Hope all is well with you)

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

Music for all time, for all time that is mine. It is kind of melancholic and sentimental and I like it:

check your library for The Penguin Guide To Jazz recordings. It’s 1300 pages of Jazz musicians and groups. If it’s not at your library, it is on Amazon. I can’t say I have found a better book on Jazz people.

@curiousjim
Sounds good. You are fortunate to have your library as a resource for music. I've been using Bandcamp and All About Jazz Weekly to find new (to me) titles and then Tidal to sample them. Some do turn into "must buys".
Looked at the system you have posted. Very nice. I bought an H390 myself some months back.

@ghosthouse
I love our library system here. They have an amazing amount of Jazz between all the branches that I can order on the app and go pick up CD’s and DVD’s when they come to my branch.

Ralph Towner’s "Solstice".
My introduction to ECM.

Yes, "She's Gone" another gem from an album that doesn't get enough love.

@ghosthouse
Great call. I have that CD. Bought it to get "She's Gone".
