What’s a great song with a person’s name in the title?

@tedgioia It depends what other kinds of music they like. Jazz touches on so many other styles of music that you’re bound to find something that touches upon some other kind of music that you love

Jazz friends—what jazz albums do you recommend for newbies who don't know anything about the music (or think they dislike it)?

“I feel there’s something here with this particular intersection of different styles of #music in the music we’re making. There’s still a lot more to find.” - @aparksmusic #AaronParks’ ‘Little Big III’ out now on @bluenoterecords postgenre.org/aaron-parks-li…

“[M]usic was my whole life. It probably still is.” - #TerryGibbs Terry Gibbs Dream Band ‘Vol. 7, The Lost Tapes’ out now on Whaling City Sound postgenre.org/jazz-master-te… #dreamband #alicecoltrane #dinahwashington #jazzonasummersday #music #art #jazz #vibraphone

“That’s what #jazz does to you. It has nothing to do with race, creed, or age; when two people play together, that’s all that counts.” - #terrygibbs ‘Vol. 7: The Lost Tapes, 1959’ is out on #whalingcitysound postgenre.org/jazz-master-te… #music #art #bebop #swing #cool

“This project … fostered an amazement in how many different things you can hear at any given moment … out and about in the world.” - @natemercereau ‘Excellent Traveler’ out now on @thirdmanrecord #natemercereau #excellenttraveler #thirdmanrecords postgenre.org/infinite-possi…

“I’m always kind of longing for silence... I do think silence is something that’s not present or valued much these days.”- #travislaplante postgenre.org/quilting-travi… ‘The Golden Lock,’ out now on @NewFocusLabel #thegoldenlock #newfocus #newforcusrecordings #music #art

“Everything is vibration. The physical law of conservation of energy says that you can neither create nor destroy energy. And, if that is true, then everything that vibrates on earth continues to exist, just not in the auditory realm.” - #JasonKaoHwang postgenre.org/soliloquies-ja…

@i_ADH List itself by 11/25. If you want to write up blurbs for your own list or the group one, those needed by 12/9

@PostGenreMedia Related note since the day job now has me turning in a ballot by Friday, what's the timeline again for the PostGenre list? I think I'm in this year if there's still time. My head is getting back in the game.

I always say I wouldn't ever tell an artist what to make, but I would say they should never release an album in Q4. This Dave Holland & Lionel Loueke album, though, has seriously come in at the clutch.
