Or, hear me out, do something about the actual bad actors. Itโs an abdication of responsibility to address the actual problem. Meanwhile, they wonโt even challenge their racist relatives or peers with deplorable politics. Just keep being polite at family gatherings to keep the peace.
Afternoon Jazz The second and last project where Miles Davis was a sideman was Legrand Jazz. Columbia let Michael LeGrand choose his own line-up. Other notable sidemen: Herbie Mann, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers, and John Coltrane. The Jitterbug Waltz 1958 #jazz #Jazzsky youtu.be/lNR8eA-oinU?...
Morning Jazz Cannonball Adderley was one of Miles Davis' favorite saxophonists and Davis paid him one of the highest compliments by agreeing to be a sideman on his album, Somethin' Else. One For Daddy-O 1958 #jazz #Jazzsky youtu.be/hYbLEjyrLZc?...

I was vegetarian back in the 90s. The protein options were bland and limited to tofu and tempeh. Plain soy milk for cereal and coffee. Now there are all kinds of flavorful options for vegetarians: veggie burgers, impossible meat, nut milks and cheeses.

Afternoon Jazz Miles Davis was a fan of jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal. He spent weeks, sometimes month in Chicago so he could watch the Ahmad Jamal Trio perform at the Pershing Hotel in the 1950s. Poinciana - LIVE #jazz #Jazzsky youtu.be/SiARr9JhLEo?...
