Finally decided to watch the infamous (for its depth) Ken burns jazz history series, two episodes and three hours in and we’re still at ragtime/trad.

This isn’t a series for people with a passing interest that’s for sure

he was really into trad jazz, but maybe a decade ago my mother casually says “Oh, he loved Thelonious Monk.” My eyes widened & i said essentially “you’ve waited THIS long to tell me?” as if she were keeping some family secret from me.

And it's a great reminder that contemporaneous definers of the 'Jazz Age' really meant the full arrival of Tin Pan Alley and significantly more peppy society dance orchestras like Whiteman's, not the 'hot' (ie Black) jazz we came to think of it as post swing/trad revival

Death metal band plays unlikely Sunday afternoon gig when the regular trad jazz combo has to pull out.

Listened to Hepcat - Right on Time (1998). Glorious old school Jamaican style ska mixed with jazz. Seriously some of the best trad ska sounds

christian mcbride (trad jazz revival guy) has a new funky contemporary jazz project and I’m really excited for oldheads to clutch their pearls about him “””selling out“””
