  2. "Theme from New York, New York" (often abbreviated to "New York, New York") is the #themeSong from the #MartinScorsese musical film #NewYorkNewYork (1977), composed by #JohnKander, with lyrics by #FredEbb. #LizaMinnelli performs the song during the finale of the film. It was nominated for the #GoldenGlobeAwardForBestOriginalSong. Two years later, #FrankSinatra covered the song, and it became closely identified with both him and #NewYorkCity.

    2025 Worldwide MONO reissue
    Blue Note Tone Poet Series

    Friday night with Old Blue Eyes.

    These Tone Poet series albums from Blue Note sound otherworldly. I have a few of the Chet Baker ones, and they’re great too.

    When I saw this today, and saw that it was a Mono cut by Kevin Gray, I needed no further convincing.

    I wish everybody put as much care and detail into the sound of their reissues like these.
    Just magnificent sounding.

    Not sure they’d bother giving this same treatment to September Of My Years, but it would certainly make me beyond ecstatic.

  4. Roman Polański – „Rosemaries Baby“ (1968)

    Dieser Film hat Roman Polański 1968 endgültig zu einer Schlüsselfigur des internationalen Kinos gemacht. Zuvor hatte der in Paris geborene und in Polen aufgewachsene Regisseur allerdings schon mit „Das Messer im Wasser“ (1962) und „Ekel“ (1965) gezeigt, dass er das Spiel mit psychologischem Druck und räumlicher Enge meisterhaft beherrscht. Mit Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes und Ruth Gordon. (ARD, Wh.)

    Archie Shepp Quartet, “Violets for Your Furs” from True Ballads (1997)

    I’ve recently become somewhat obsessed with saxophonist Archie Shepp.
    I cannot get enough of his soulful breathy style and penchant for playing ballads rather than the uptempo bebop favored by so many jazz greats, that neither my intellect nor attention span can handle. Shepp’s playing has a mournful tone that somehow soothes.

    As luck would have it, I was listening to his album True Ballads yesterday, with final track “Violets for Your Furs.” The song was composed by Matt Dennis with words by Tom Adair in 1941 and first recorded by Frank Sinatra singing with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, and been recorded numerous times since, including renditions by folks with names like Coltrane and Holiday.

    Like many jazz tracks, it’s longer than your standard pop tune, so settle in and give it a listen - it’s gorgeous, man.

    #FrankSinatra was known to have a small circle of true friends. Having Frank on your team was the equivalent of an army, things got done.
    Here's Frank hanging out with some of his 'inner circle'.
