Bands played four sets nightly back then, each over an hour long.. "During our breaks we'd go out the back door to the alley, stand around drinking, smoking weed, chewing bennies - anything to keep going because the gig was so long" Quote from bassist Red Callender #jazz #Harlem

These kind of images I take time to zoom in see details: like dust on the piano, the old cigarette brands, the lid-off ketchup bottle. And Monk’s sartorial elegance of course.. Thelonious Monk at the Royal Roost, New York City, 1949 #jazz #photography

Keir Starmer is to announce the introduction of digital IDs (to reduce illegal migration) at the Labour party conference this month. This will be manipulatively framed as ‘for safety and security’. But digital id is a huge government overreach of control. No one voted for this.

Just checked Herbie’s famous story which I’ve heard before and it references Stuttgart but the video you posted is supposedly from Milan but whatever (unless you refer to another story) Herbie calls it a “mistake” to make a point to non-musicians but it’s not really a mistake as he is playing on So What which only has two chords, so he is adding myriad improvised harmonies throughout. What he is saying is that the one he played didn’t sound the way he wanted: this happens all the time on the bandstand But Miles wouldn’t have been angry, he’s probably just got resting bitch face lol Anyway no offence, love your work 🤝

Arrested along with Ella were Dizzy Gillespie and saxophonist Illinois Jacquet Police had raided the dressing room alleging “dice being played” Promoter Norman Granz (also arrested) had demanded the concert be non segregated, later branding this as police retaliation..

Miles vibing Herbie’s “mistake”? Or just regular bandstand intensity?

@hodloff @TheMonologist Good analysis as any jazz musician would probably agree. There’s same clip on YouTube calling Miles angry, probably where he got the idea from SMH
