Remembering Esther Phillips on the day she would have been 89-years old.
I've written a lot about Esther, I have a soft spot for her singing and am fascinated by her life story.
I have at least one more piece to write based on some history from #johnnyotis - It explains a great deal about why Esther made some of the choices she did.
For today though, I want to remember a ballsy woman who once walked into Creed Taylors office with a baseball bat under her fur coat to demand her royalty check.

Hey, citizens of the fediverse - I just wanted to remember the great Grover Washington, Jr. who left us this day, 25-years ago. Far too soon. Such a talent, such a nice, kind man.
Just 5-days after celebrating his 56th birthday, Grover had a heart attack in the green room, after performing and recording four songs for “The Saturday Early Show”, at CBS Studios in New York City. He was pronounced dead at 7:30pm that day, December 17th, 1999, St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital in New York City.
He was still working in a department store when his first

My Tamiko Jones post is finally live. This was a massive 3-month project, and includes a mix of her music with previously unheard tracks from the Tonight Show that are not available in any other format.
Jones was one of the few people to speak out at longtime Recording Academy President Michael Greene, who abruptly resigned in 2002.

I must admit I've never seen CD's that were not packaged in plastic cases or cheap paper sleeves. These Japanese King Records releases are gorgeous. Very tactile just more like shrunk gatefold albums.

Remembering Rudy Van Gelder on his born day. Rudy crafted much of the sound that we understand as (east coast) jazz these days. In an era of non-disposable equipment, Rudy developed habits in recording that lasted the test of time.
That said, he wasn't slow in adopting new technology, and wasn't afraid of taking on the establishment when it came to digital vs analog.

CTI Record Streams
While I continue working on a couple of research projects that have consumed the past 6-weeks, I realized I hadn't posted here much, although I continue to dance of the grave of what used to be social-media daily. Here is a brief post on an interesting stream I've been listening too while screaming into the void - that the internet has become.
