Different actors and artists I mistakenly thought were the same person for a really long time:

Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller (? Tall face dad man? Comedy. Brown hair blue eyes. Early 2000's Blockbuster Video regulars.)

Kiera Knightly and Natalie Portman (Scary and pretty like an android that would eject me from the space shuttle)

Kiera Knightly and Kristen Stewart (K-names, queer kid kryptonite, pretty)

Justin Timberlake and Orlando Bloom (Pretty face white man, teens love him)

Ryan Reynolds and Paul Rudd (Thin face brown hair white guy? Comedy? Superhero with red suit. Immature dad vibes. "Pull my finger" type energy)

Celine Dion and Shakira (Pretty and tall multilingual blonde singers?)

Michelle Pfeifer and Uma Thurman (Odd name? Blonde? 2010 era songs about them)

Gene Wilder and Mike Myers (Cannot explain)

Individual actors I always thought were two different actors:

Lucy Liu in "Kill Bill" and Lucy Liu in everything else (I keep thinking Kill Bill came out in the early 70's and Lucy Liu does NOT look older than my mom)

Natalie Dormer (Though she was a bunch of different blonde women who looked alike but it's just her)

Actors and artists who I cannot recall ever seeing in my life, whose appearances I make up in my head whenever people talk about them:

Uma Thurman (Blonde? Very pretty. Red lipstick. Like Marilyn Monroe but a sharper chin.)

Stevie Wonder (A handsome Black gentleman in his late forties. Always in a tuxedo.)

Gilbert Godfrey (Peewee Herman??)

Celebrities I can picture in my mind with absolute photographic clarity:

Mike Tyson

Doug Jones

Miss Piggy

Public figures whose names I've heard of through pop culture osmosis but retained zero information about:

Roger Whittaker

Grace Earl Jones

Casey Anthony (??? A person??)

Akon

Greta Herwig (I think that's a person)

Tony Montana (Fictional???)

[lboogie1906]

James Louis Johnson (January 22, 1924 – February 4, 2001) was a jazz trombonist, composer, and arranger. After studying the piano beginning at age 9, he decided to play trombone at the age of 14. He began his professional career with Clarence Love and then played with Snookum Russell. In Russell's band, he met the trumpeter Fats Navarro, who influenced him to play in the style of the tenor saxophonist Lester Young. He played in Benny Carter's orchestra and made his first recordings under Carter's leadership, recording his first solo (on Love for Sale). He took part in the first Jazz at the Philharmonic concert, presented in Los Angeles and organized by Norman Granz. He joined the big band Count Basie, touring and recording with him. His work demonstrated that the slide trombone could be played in the bebop style. The two-trombone jazz combo setup pioneered by him and Winding has been imitated by more recent trombonists, with such combinations as Jim Pugh/Dave Taylor, Conrad Herwig/Steve Davis, and Michael Davis/Bill Reichenbach. Several of his compositions, including "Wee Dot", "Lament", and "Enigma" have become jazz standards. He was a perennial polling favorite in jazz circles, even winning "Trombonist of the Year" in Down Beat magazine. He was voted into the Down Beat Hall of Fame. While touring Japan in December 1988, he learned that his wife Vivian had suffered a bad stroke, which incapacitated for the rest of her life. During this period he canceled all work, devoting his energy to caring for his ailing wife. After she died in 1991, he dedicated an album to her on Concord. He married Carolyn Reid (1992-2001) and he began actively performing once again. Following this second comeback in 1992, his contracts with a variety of record labels, including Verve and Antilles, resulted in five albums as a leader, from small groups to separate brass orchestra and string orchestra recordings, as well as sideman appearances with his leading disciple, trombonist Steve Turre, and the vocalist Abbey Lincoln. He earned several Grammy nominations during this period. He retired from active performing and touring in late 1996.#africanhistory365 #africanexcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnt9AMzrSZi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

PROGRAMMER’S NOTES FOR JAZZ SPECTRUM 27 AUGUST 2022

THE LEGACY OF ART BLAKEY

There were two bands from the 1950s on that were elite graduate schools for jazz players, composers, and leaders—Miles Davis’ and Art Blakey’s. Since chasing down Miles’ voodoo down from Bitches Brew back was the start of my jazz education, I met John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderly, Red Garland, Wynton Kelly, Bill Evans, Hank Mobley, George Coleman, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Tony Williams, Chick Corea, Dave Holland, Keith Jarrett, Joe Zawinul, John McLaughlin, and Keith Jarrett that way. Miles’ constant reinvention and creation of fusion were enough to keep me occupied.

It sure seemed that the Art Blakey of the 1970s was reinventing a tried and true formula of two or three horns and rhythm section. The parts were interchangeable and the current players, probably Wynton Marsalis first and foremost, were staking out a particular bit of turf and, sure, the likes of Terence Blanchard and Donald Harrison had bona fides with the Jazz Messengers on their resumes, but I thought I knew them—and I thought I knew where they came from.

Indeed, the hard bop horns and rhythm (and sure the rhythm here was impressive) was the bread and butter of jazz. So I didn’t go back to place Clifford Brown, Lee Morgan, Jackie McLean, Horace Silver, Benny Golson, Wayne Shorter, Bobby Timmons, Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw or even Wynton Marsalis in context and I missed out on Cedar Walton and Mulgrew Miller. But what bands Blakey put together again and again and, though I probably held it against him because he wasn’t a significant composer, what a legacy his book was.

This show then is a penitential exercise, an initial recapitulation of what I might have done in parallel to looking at the Miles Davis bands.

I’m chronological and use iterations of the Messengers doing standards before seeking out tunes composed by the band members but not necessarily played by them. Spending more time with Horace Silver in particular has been valuable. I don’t get to Freddie Hubbard and Wayne Shorter until after Song of the Week, so I give short shrift to the 1970s, but I discovered that Joanne Bracken was the only woman Messenger and that Keith Jarret and Chuck Mangione (huh?) were in the band together.

Jarrett evidently wanted to play with Blakey even as he wanted to play with Miles—and held his nose to play Fender Rhodes at that. He was doing post-docs evidently. But he and Shorter and Mobley are interesting cases to think of how the two influences worked in synergy.

Shorter played a similar role in both bands as composer and soloist and, like Mobley, he was a Messenger first. Shorter established himself with Blakey and was starting to record on Blue Note as a leader as he joined Miles. Here it was as if Miles wanted some of Blakey’s mojo in his band. Perhaps Mobley, who didn’t really work out as per a gratuitous aside in the Quincy Troupe autobiography, was a first attempt. Now good as Mobley is, he is not, nor is anyone, Wayne Shorter as a player or composer (well, Charles Mingus is a comparable composer and of course Thelonious Monk and the Duke Ellington/Billy Strayhorn mind meld top them all). But I know realize how magical those albums when Shorter was a Messenger are.

But, for the most part here, the focus is on those 1950s/early 1960s Jazz Messengers where Art Blakey was perfecting his defining and very appealing band concept. The tunes are smart, crisp, and intelligent and they swing hard. That it seems so familiar and even passé is simply the result of his vision and innovation.

He made a huge contribution and one I absorbed. But it was not directly enough. Hence this penance.

Accidentally Wes Anderson: Instagram finds stylised symmetry in real cities

Bill Murray could be just out of shot in these images of buildings and locations around the world that happen to exemplify the director’s trademark style

Pastel colours, front-on facades, hyper-stylised uncanny symmetry: director Wes Anderson has a defined aesthetic. Once you’ve got your eye in, you can see it everywhere.

That was the premise of a thread on Reddit started earlier this year, “Accidental Wes Anderson”, where users shared photographs of real-world architecture and locations that look like one of his sets – with Bill Murray or one of the Wilson brothers plausibly just out of shot.

#AccidentalWesAnderson New Windsor Hotel | Phoenix, Arizona | c. 1893 • • The 6th Avenue Hotel - now known as the New Windsor Hotel, is the only 19th century hotel which is still in use in the original town-site of Phoenix, Arizona • • In 1893, pioneer and businessman A.D. Walsh built the 6th Avenue Hotel to keep up with the demand of the growing town of Phoenix • • In 1925, the hotel was renamed the Windsor Hotel and in the 1930s went through a remodeling process in which a third story was added. Then in the 1950s, it was finally renamed the "New" Windsor Hotel • • The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and it is no longer used as a hotel, but rather a low cost haven for the elderly poor • • Know more?

#AccidentalWesAnderson Bus Stop | Aral, Kazakhstan | c. Unknown • • On a long-distance bicycle trip from London to St. Petersburg in 2002, photographer, Chris Herwig encountered unusual spaceship-like bus stops and unexpected transit structures • • Interestingly enough, each design is unique and shaped by the community around it. • • Herwig has done a considerable amount of research, but has yet to discover why or how it was decided that the designs should be left to local authorities. Based on his research, it seems that the bus stops were often constructed by the workers building the roads, local artists, or even community members • • He hopes that the work will help people to see a greater world outside their home country. “I hope people open up and realize that no matter what’s going on politically on the other side of the world, there is a difference between what a country does and what the people inside it are doing. I hope it inspires people to travel and not always look for things that are the obvious. There are a lot of little architectural underdogs out there that should be celebrated" • • : @herwigphoto • • #WesAnderson

The dome and tower were never completed, as it was found the building's weight was causing stress fractures and making the building shift downhill toward State Street • • The New York State Capitol was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1979 • • Know more?

#AccidentalWesAnderson NRW State Archive | Duisburg, Germany | c. 1936 • • A house-shaped tower with no windows rises from the roof of an ageing warehouse to create a new archive building for the state of North Rhine Westphalia, Germany • • Originally built in the 1930's as a corn silo, the architects Ortner & Ortner of Germany and Austria have designed an addition to what will become the largest archive in Germany upon completion, with 92 miles of shelving behind its walls • • As daylight is an archivist’s biggest adversary, all the windows were filled in and the tower itself was designed with no windows at all • • But this was too straightforward for the architects who are both artists as well. They therefore came up with a rhombic pattern, covering the brickwork of the entire tower along with the already filled-in windows • • Know more?

#AccidentallyWesAnderson • Washington State Ferry | Southworth, Washington | c. 1951 • • Washington State Ferries is a government agency that operates automobile and passenger ferry service in Washington State as part of the Washington State Department of Transportation • • It runs ten routes serving 20 terminals located around Puget Sound and in the San Juan Islands, designated as part of the state highway system • • The agency maintains the largest fleet of ferries in the United States at 22 vessels, carrying 24.2 million passengers in 2016. As of 2016, it was also the largest ferry operator in the United States, and the fourth-largest ferry system in the world • • The ferry system has its origins in the "mosquito fleet", a collection of small steamer lines serving the Puget Sound area during the later part of the nineteenth century and early part of the 20th century • • By the beginning of the 1930s, two lines remained: the Puget Sound Navigation Company (known as the Black Ball Line) and the Kitsap County Transportation Company which was forced to close due to a strike in 1935, leaving only the Black Ball Line • • Toward the end of the 1940s the Black Ball Line wanted to increase its fares, to compensate for increased wage demands from the ferry workers' unions, but the state refused to allow this, and so the line shut down • • In 1951, the state bought nearly all of Black Ball's ferry assets for $5 million (Black Ball retained five vessels of its fleet). The state only intended to run ferry service until cross-sound bridges could be built, but these were never approved, and the Washington State Department of Transportation runs the system to this day • • Know more?

James Louis Johnson (January 22, 1924 – February 4, 2001) was a jazz trombonist, composer, and arranger. After studying the piano beginning at age 9, he decided to play trombone at the age of 14. He began his professional career with Clarence Love and then played with Snookum Russell. In Russell's band, he met the trumpeter Fats Navarro, who influenced him to play in the style of the tenor saxophonist Lester Young. He played in Benny Carter's orchestra and made his first recordings under Carter's leadership, recording his first solo (on Love for Sale). He took part in the first Jazz at the Philharmonic concert, presented in Los Angeles and organized by Norman Granz. He joined the big band of Count Basie, touring and recording with him. His work demonstrated that the slide trombone could be played in the bebop style. The two-trombone jazz combo setup pioneered by him and Winding has been imitated by more recent trombonists, with such combinations as Jim Pugh/Dave Taylor, Conrad Herwig/Steve Davis, and Michael Davis/Bill Reichenbach. Several of his compositions, including "Wee Dot", "Lament", and "Enigma" have become jazz standards. He was a perennial polling favorite in jazz circles, even winning "Trombonist of the Year" in Down Beat magazine during years he was not active. He was voted into the Down Beat Hall of Fame. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/CZCKNcWr020BIMiymRGM_Zx1NoTIpsKUX-iq8M0/?utm_medium=tumblr
