Today’s vinyl offering, Stan Getz “Reflections”
Getz with two heavyweight arrangers, Claus Ogerman and Lalo Shifrin.
My first time hearing the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. You all weren’t kidding about that brass section!
This week on Substack: some jazz harmony fundamentals I cover in my courses:

“I never see you at the gym.” Oh? I never see you upon the loom.
Today’s vinyl treasure: “Lee Konitz Plays With the Gerry Mulligan Quartet” (a.k.a. “Konitz Meets Mulligan”). I had this on CD as a middle schooler and knew every solo, every arrangement by heart. Incredible group interplay.
A nice beer with a terrific design.
The call has been made! NYC Public Schools will have a full snow day tomorrow.
I learned about him and I like him.
The snow is back. But New York is ready. Here's everything you should know about tomorrow's blizzard.
Stay safe, stay warm, and sign up for real-time updates by texting NotifyNYC to 692-692.
Ah that’s right, we don’t care about them.

Funyuns are so nasty. It’s going to be hard to finish this entire bag of them.

Today on Substack: what is the original key of "I Got Rhythm?" A musical mystery with *very* low stakes.

“You’re correct, Ethan, I did suggest you buy a lemon.”
No obvious hallucinations but maybe some outdated information. I also tried to use it to comparison shop for cars, with horrible results. None of the (basic) math was usable.
I’ve asked ChatGPT to compile venues within a certain radius of somewhere, especially when looking for more eclectic places (“venues with ambient music nights near Columbus”). Basically using it like a search engine to do music biz tasks beyond my bandwidth. It worked, I guess.
An egg, taylor ham, and cheese on everything bagel from Hot Bagels Abroad in NJ.
its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further
I was trying to figure out an analogy with Easy Bake Ovens and the Fisher Price plastic kitchen. But both of those toys are cool 😂
Interesting. I haven't explored it and probably won't, which makes me feel like a stubborn reactionary.
