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 October 9, 2022: Abdullah Ibrahim's 88th Birthday Bash Weekend, Part 2
We continue our festival of rousing, moving music, celebrating the life and art of pianist, saxophonist, composer, teacher, and anti-apartheid hero Abdullah Ibrahim (formerly known as Dollar Brand). Tracing his early days as a be-bop jazz musician in Cape Town, South Africa, through his years in exile living in the US, back again to South Africa, and to his current home in Germany. Ibrahim is not only still active - he’s just started on a European tour!

@Stork, that's a nice city! I've been there before for work purposes as well as in nearby Osnabrück. It's a very student city if I'm not mistaken.

Stork:

Yes, it's a lovely college town, Osnabrück is a less-lovely college town, but it's where my wife is from, which makes it Jerusalem for me, I guess.

Ahhhhh....in concert, this could just tear your heart out (pretty close on this album, have to say)

Mr. Oxford:

@Stork haha. I am fascinated by Germany's geography (and culture) from some reason. So if someone mentions they are there, I am always curious which part of the country they are in. That's interesting.

This is cool! (that's a Ibrahim tune he's playing, what a trio, though, never heard this)!

There's that Don Cherry you promised, Stork.

Earlier, I learned that today is also the birthday of that great auteur of almost-silent film, Jacques Tati. Ever since, I've been wondering what it'd be like to watch Playtime with the sound off and Abdullah Ibrahim on.

Oh, wow, Jacques Tati! He deserves a long-ass tribute too!

This tune in 3/4 time, unusual, with a vocal, WOW!

yeah that could be the new Dark Side of the Moon/Wizard of Oz, adamdoesit

Still in a kind of 3/4 - amazing shift!!

Oddly, Ward didn't see, to know the melody here (or what to play against it...)

Somehow, I just this minute started a pot of brown rice in the cooker. Feeling in tune, across spacetime.

(Not part of my Sunday routine. I was glad to have leftover rice from takeout last week, and thought I'd do myself the favor, should I want it again.)
