Jazz brain pretty much sums it up, I'm gonna start using that. Sometimes I feel augmented, sometimes diminished, sometimes suspended. Sometimes I straight up feel like a dominant 13th flat 9th. Often I just want everything to resolve to the tonic.

Mostly I feel blue....

Yes you're right, anyone that has an interest in music would almost certainly be able to find something in the jazz world that they'd like.

I don't have that many but this is my favourite of my jazz records:

Just read that Grachan Moncur III died yesterday.

"RIP" is an idiotic term. They're not resting, they're dead. See also 'passed away' or (even worse) 'passed'.

I think these are phrases used to provide comfort for those actually connected to the person who has died and have passed into broader usage

See also "put down" for pets when "euthenased" is more accurate

Sad to hear that. Evolution is worth a place in anyone's record collection (reissue coming up later on in the year in Blue Note's classic vinyl series, btw). Lee Morgan apparently felt it was one of his best dates, although it's completely atypical of what he's best known for.

Just giving New Africa a spin - one of his Paris dates for BYG. Seriously good stuff.

Merci Grachan!

Funny you should mention Lee Morgan, that's how I heard about Evolution. A friend gave me a copy of The Sidewinder as a birthday present thinking it would be something I'd like, and he was right. I read up about Lee Morgan to find out a bit more about him and I saw it mentioned that he thought Evolution was one of his highlights and I thought I must give that a listen, so I bought it. As you say it is different from The Sidewinder, but as I said upthread it is my favourite of the jazz records in my collection.

The Guardian had a short, but decent obit of Grachan Moncur III earlier this week.

I'm listening to Archie Shepp's "Mama too Tight" this evening: those that dismiss jazz as background chillax music would shoot their M&S kecks!
