  1. For Monday, listen to Miles Davis' "He Loved Him Madly," from "Get Up With It" (1974). Begins ambiently, then develops a slow pulse. Haunting.

  2. “Did anyone live more of a double life than #AlFoster? He would be playing driving #funk #beats on single chord #jams lasting 40 minutes or more in stadiums with #MilesDavis…and then tipping quietly for Jordan or Hakim in a dive somewhere the next night.” #music open.substack.com/pub/iverson/...

  7. This piece by @ethaniversonpiano.bsky.social about the resurgence of #JoeHenderson is also a wonderful tribute to the recently deceased #AlFoster. Iverson’s writing about #jazz is lucid, erudite, and informed by a deep understanding of - and love for - the #music. open.substack.com/pub/iverson/...

  8. “The balance of esoteric+ earth was perfect, especially since ( #AlFoster) was also a modernist, someone who also knew every kind of popular fusion-2-funk idiom from Billy Cobham to Steve Gadd. It was “old school #jazz” but hardly retro in outlook.” iverson.substack.com/p/tt-525-an-... #JoeHenderson
