Hello! The latest Everyone Has A Jeff Buckley Story continues with tales from Australia where Dave Derby and the Dambuilders joined Jeff on tour. Seemingly, Jeff wanted the violinst Joan Wasser close! But the band is killer in their own right. youtu.be/SrTeZRKuyJQ?si…

@the_culturist_ Pollack and De Kooning are both great.

Reminder: modern art was a CIA psy-op. Former CIA officials came clean on this during the '90s, confirming that the agency used abstract art by Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and others to promote American culture during the Cold War. The intent was to portray America as a bastion of intellectual and creative freedom. This was to rebut Soviet claims that the U.S. was "culturally barren" and contrast the cultural confinement of the Soviet empire, where artists had been restricted to painting in Soviet realism since the 1930s. Abstract Expressionism was seen as the most free and extreme form of artistic expression; the antithesis of Soviet rigidity. Modern art therefore became a weapon in the cultural war against communism. Beginning in the 1950s, the CIA secretly funded a group called the Congress for Cultural Freedom, through which it funnelled money to international art shows, literary magazines and operated dozens of offices around the globe — all with the explicit goal of promoting American Abstract Expressionism. These efforts, coined operation "long leash", were meant to demonstrate to disaffected Soviets and European intellectuals that American painters were free to invent, and offend; unlike under tyranny, where "artists are made the slaves and tools of the state," as Eisenhower once said. Paradoxically, at the time the works of Pollock and de Kooning were not even broadly popular with the American public, and earlier, more open attempts to promote new American art by the State Department had been widely mocked. Even President Truman famously said, 'If that's art, I'm a Hottentot'', when visiting an exhibit purchased by the DOS. Because of this, and because it would have been impossible to attain support for such a project through Congress, the CIA's covert operation was necessary to push Abstract Expressionism in secret.

@KutterIsKing There’s not a single new yorker who goes to times square

Not a single person walking or driving by even batted an eye at that screen but I’m supposed to believe New York is a baseball city #ok

@OrangeryThe I love Red’s playing so much. I return to it over and over

"One night Art Tatum stood behind me as I was playing. 'You're forcing', he told me. 'Don't play the piano. Let the piano play itself.' I was tight, so he gave me that piece of advice, and I've always remembered it." Happy Birthday Red Garland born May 13, 1923

@BenFinl97046623 Was listening * to Lawns earlier today. That is one of my all time favorite compositions

"Listening is more important than anything else because that's what music is. Somebody is playing something and you're receiving it. It is sending and receiving." Remembering Carla Bley, born OTD 1936 in Oakland, California.

Her dying wish was to see Keith Urban perform one last time. But her health prevented her from getting to the concert. So Keith Urban came to her... This melts my heart 🥹❤️
