RIP Rashad

John Coltrane playing Alice Coltrane's harp (and smiling !!!).

Born on this day, the great Ahmad Jamal, who manifested beauty and uplift.

second time reading Transit, even more impressed with the pizza this time around. it’s always inserted at prime moments, it never jettisons whatever dread or tragedy has been steadily accumulating. the pizza reminds the narrator things are bad :/ but it tastes good :)

home alone

got cooked by my sister Lucia Preziosi

so much casual beauty in Tolstoy’s journals, and yet, my favorite entry might just be: “quarreled with Turgenev, then had a girl over..”

don’t forget that he didn’t “get” jazz

TOLSTOY SUMMER

4 for today (credit to Lewis the (ECM freak) Light for turning me onto Binder Quintet w/ John Tchicai!)

last night’s fireworks display coordinated to mark the start of Tolstoy summer was really too much, I can’t thank you all enough

published four years after Red Harvest and makes Hammett read as long-winded by comparison

for a second I was like “which love island couples are these?”

cannonball get UP

Henry Dumas

we’re goin all in this summer

the love island narrator having to go into “my friend died he fucking died” mode to announce that a contestant has left for “personal reasons” (resurfaced racist social media posts) is so wild lmao

Hank Mobley’s bday today—gotta give special mention to his Thinking of Home, which sound-wise is like the “final” Blue Note album of its era, poignant and comprehensive

Leo Tolstoy’s The Cossacks is like a John Ford calvary film

Mal Waldron wrote a song about you 😂😂
