Vinyl reckoning: Herbie Hancock “The Piano” (CBS Japan), 1979. Solo piano. Half standards. Half originals. I prefer the originals, especially the moody “Sonrisa.” Reminds me of the one time I saw Hancock play acoustic. October 2001. John Patitucci on bass and Brian Blade on drums. #JazzSky

Vinyl reckoning: Egberto Gismonti “Sol Do Meio Dia” (ECM/WB), 1978. Sunday morning vibes. Bought this about 20 years ago after hearing Ralph Towner’s “Waterwheel,” which I mistook for Gismonti. Oops. Took me a few listens to get over the fact that this is not “Batik.” #JazzSky

Just finished: “Roadside Picnic” by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky (MacMillan), 1977. Source material for Tarkovsky’s “Stalker,” this SF novel about the aftermath of an alien visitation has enough narrative-shifting and weird action that it rewards multiple readings (this was my second). #BookSky

Vinyl reckoning: Elephant9 with Terje Rypdal - “Catching Fire” (Rune Grammofon), 2024. Live double-album from these underrated jazz-rock bruisers—and this one has Norwegian guitar god Terje Rypdal along for the ride. 2017 concert. It’s almost as if I wished this into existence. #JazzSky #TerjeRypdal

Caught Pita laptopping in a bar in Cleveland Park, DC. Must've been a few years before that Sunn O))) show. He is missed.

Now playing: John Abercrombie “Current Events” (ECM), 1986. Some peak-80s synth guitar in this jazz. Peter Erskine on drums and ‘mullet’ Marc Johnson on bass. It really does sound like they might bust out a cover of Steve Winwood’s “While You See A Chance.” #JazzSky

Back cover with picture of Abercrombie, Erskine, and Johnson in eighties garb.

Now playing: Ches Smith “Clone Row” (Otherly Love), 2025. Glitch-jazz? Autechre-bop? Liberty Ellman and @maryhalvorson.bsky.social on guitars. Ches Smith on drums, vibes and electronics. Nick Dunston on bass and electronics. #Jazzsky

Some days here you need less coffee than others! I saw an iconic wig bobbing through the afternoon browsers and thought, could it be…..not just a jacked up yowler and shredder, Buzz is a hardcore bibliophile! And nice enough to pose by the old ball, outdoing the fiercest wigs that have been there

Now playing: Art Pepper “Intensity” (Contemporary), 1963. Beautiful mono quartet session from one of my favorite alto saxophonists. Pepper’s joined by pianist Dolo Coker, bassist Jimmy Bond, and drummer Frank Butler. #JazzSky

Just finished: J.G. Ballard “Rushing to Paradise” (Picador), 1995. Still trying to sort this one out. An update of “Terminal Beach?” A story about the artificial nature of the sanctuary? “High Rise” on the beach? Whatever it is, Conrad’s lurking in there somewhere. #BookSky #Ballard
