With billows and blasts from choirs and orchesters
Buskers and talkers
Big bands and squawkers,
the Stork Club has retained its qualities of decaying elegance and dwindling significance since the late 1950s.

Favoriting December 12, 2021: Where Anthony Tillmon Williams Meets 秋吉敏子 (Toshiko Akiyoshi)
Chicago-born (enter no fewer than 5 superlatives here) drummer Tony Williams left us far too soon at 51, but what joy to celebrate not only his life and music, but that of Japanese pianist, composer, and big-band arranger Toshiko Akiyoshi as well - on her 91st birthday. Maybe she's listening.

' Williams first gained fame in the band of trumpeter Miles Davis and pioneered jazz fusion. He was inducted into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 1986. During his lifetime, music critic Robert Christgau described Williams as "probably the best drummer in the world". '

Listener Robert:

Since you've been playing the longer clip for your intro, we can surmise more of what it's about. It doesn't contradict my previous assumption that Rick and his wife had recently taken opposite sides in the argument, but it adds more motivation than just a desire to needle her. She'd probably been complaining that he's a cheapskate, but now he has a reason to appear not to be one: business. She doesn't know he's meeting someone for business. The business -- what he's paying this guy for -- is presumably the main object of the play, but it will be augmented by contretemps when she figures out it was for a business meeting. Practically writes itself.
Avatar 12:49pm
Stork:

Spot on, Listener Robert! The only thing different is - she's his associate/confidante/girlfriend and not his wife. But great analysis! Somebody turns up dead after leaving the Stork Club that night - and Diamond investigates.

I keep hearing the clips Rex plays on Turner Classic. Maybe i'll catch the Stork Club intro sometime
  12:55pm
Listener Robert:

You're not alone, I think he's supposed to have genuine affection for her, because that's the way these things work in drama, and largely in real life as well. So I think he'll be bothered that she's miffed, even after he tells her, well, you knew what business I'm in, but then she'll notice some important clue that she'll threaten to withhold from him unless he makes some concession for the future. How serious she is about that threat will be up for the audience to decide.

Stork, I missed it, though funnily enough I was humming it earlier, like it was St. Thomas or something.

Yeah - how bout that, chresti? Two over-90 year old pianists being celebrated on the same day: Emahoy by Jeff on the D-O program, and Toshiko here.

Just got back from seeing West Side Story. I will spare you my review, but I did weep through the whole thing.

while may not be Mingus on bass, that was him announcing.

Yikes, that's some stank audio quality. Great music, though!
