Happy birthday David Sanborn (7/30). I had to run to the store for bananas and peppers (not banana peppers) this afternoon and heard about it on Jazz Sunday on WCBE.

I’m neutral on Sanborn. I don’t dislike him but I wouldn’t say I’m a fan. He’s fine. It turns out we share a birthday, though, so here’s to ya, Dave.

Caught some Ella.

This was new to me. Pretty cool. I thought it was interesting.

And now happy birthday Kenny Burrell (7/31). He’s still alive and kickin’ at 92.

That brought me home.

I heard him play live in 2020 right before Covid started.  He’s lost most of his chops, it was almost painful to watch considering how explosive he used to be.  I’m more of a straight ahead jazz fan, but I had to see Sanborn at least once!

For spotify folks:

 

 

 

Great performance.  This was in Berlin, but same crew.  Alan Dawson steals it.

Somehow I've been sleeping on Hank Mobley my entire life. Like, I knew of him of course, just never dug in before. Bummer because I've missed out all these years, but great because now I can go through the whole damn discography and it's all fresh.

Have any of you fine gents read a good book on the making of Kind of Blue? I was thinking about making that a book I read next month to celebrate the 65th anniversary of my favorite jazz album. I've heard good things about the Ashley Kahn book about the making of it. There's also a new book by the Sinatra biographer James Kaplan that focuses on Miles, Coltrane, and Evans called 3 Shades of Blue.
