RIP Rick Davies. I saw the Breakfast in America tour in ‘79. He was the lower-register singer/songwriter to Rodger Hodgson’s high tenor - they made some great music together. Rick was from Swindon, England in Wiltshire where the XTC boys are from. piped.video/watch?v=uHM88mZ4…
A Cannonball Adderley morn up in the treehouse with this live recording in Tokyo with his classic group including his brother Nat on the cornet; Yusef Lateef on every woodwind you can imagine including oboe; a young Joe Zawinul (Weather Report) on piano piped.video/ke3oUxbevp0?si=P-lM…
Fave Beach Boys memory: We rented a place in the Andalusian foothills in Spain. One evening opened a bottle and danced our heads off to The Beach Boys - was pure, unfettered fun. And that's what Brian Wilson and The Boys brought - joy and sunshine to our souls. RIP to a genius.

RIP Slick Watts…fond memories of watching you live as a young lad. You brought so much to Seattle sports - well beyond your Super time with the Sonics
RIP and good vibes to the great Roy Ayres. Here’s the first cut off his first album as leader way back in 1963 - a more straight ahead jazz finger-popper well before he entered his trailblazing funkier phase piped.video/watch?v=GwLfVg…
RIP Roberta Flack - what a voice. Before she hit it big in the 70s she was discovered by Les McCann - here’s an early live recording of her singing in a jazzier style with a brief interview intro by Les describing how he discovered her

RIP Rick Buckler - whose stickwork drove The Jam so rhythmically like on this one (terrific interlocking here with Foxton’s bass)

Pop pearls fall out of Andy Partridge’s brain like rain from the sky

I'm perhaps a bit more selective with my fave Tarantino flicks compared to his more diehard fans. I can distill mine to a top 3 that are interchangeable ranking-wise based on the mood I'm in, etc.:
Inglorious Bastards
Jackie Brown
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Yours?
Great interview conducted by Rich Eisen with UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch
