Last night in Cleveland, the great Lenny Kaye, best known as Patti Smith’s sideman, staged his Nuggets garage rock revival. Most fun I’ve had at a show in some time. The show ended with Gloria and Sonic Reducer (for us Clevelanders). The Crowd went nuts!

First Coltrane of the day. As sideman to the great Red Garland. Enjoy!
Listening to ALL MORNIN' LONG by Red Garland (p) leading Coltrane (ts), Byrd (t), Joyner (db), and Taylor (d). Maybe I'm wrong, but seems to me this album is not getting enough love. Just bluesy, boppy and glorious. Jazzsky #jazz

I've always admired Pete's skills as a communicator, but moral cowardice like this is why he will never be more than a sideman. At the end of the day, he's a consultant, not a leader.
Pod Save America: Do you think it's time to recognize a Palestinian state?
Pete Buttigieg: I think that that's a profound question that arouses a lot of the biggest problems that have happened with Israel's survival, Israel's right to survival, in the diplomatic scene.

2 weeks before he recorded "Blue Train" in September 1957, John Coltrane was a sideman on Sonny Clark's hard bop date "Sonny's Crib." Trane is heard in top form including a commanding feature performance on “Speak Low." Listen or get the Classic Vinyl Edition: bluenote.lnk.to/SonnyClark-S...

Smarf is basically an Aaron Gordon-caliber sideman for Bron right now in that he knows Bron’s legs are gone and he’s anticipating all these short missed threes. Genius-level veteran shit.
