TODAY’S FROZEN MOMENT - 65th Anniversary

This amazing shot was taken just after midnight and in the first moments of the new year, at the Five Spot, a New York jazz club. January 1st, 1959

Here was the legendary Charles Mingus on his bass, playing with Horace Parlan on piano, saxophonists Booker Ervin and John Handy, and Roy Haynes on drums….

In front of Mingus’ bass sits devoted fan Orson Welles…

"Wait... is that Rufus Shinra??"

It was typically common courtesy to respect the privacy of other patrons at the Honeybee Inn. What happens at Honeybee, stays at Honeybee. But when the recently-appointed ruler of the world shows up... well, it's hard to ignore. Even if his father was also a regular there.

Rufus had kept his cool, silently wondering if his father had gotten the incessant gawking every time he walked through those doors. But he kept his head held high, and before he knew it, Rufus Shinra, king of the world, was in a private room awaiting his assigned Honeybee.

The host had sat him down, asking all sorts of questions about his tastes and what sort of Honeybee he wanted. Judging by the amount of time he'd been waiting since then, he imagined the staff were frantically trying to find the perfect one for him, the highest of VIPs.

It was a fairly open secret that the great President Shinra inhabited this place fairly often. In truth, Rufus found it extremely distasteful, and he hated how public it all felt. Any peon with a camera could make his presence there global news in a matter of seconds. Rufus silently started to wonder if this might have been a bad idea. Too late now to take it back.

The door started to open, no doubt his Honeybee entering the room. Rufus rose to his feet, ready to shake their hand in greeting. "I'd say 'fashionably late', but the slutty bee look is more tacky than fashionable," he said with a smirk.

Horace Parlan: The Pianist Who Turned Adversity into Art

Introduction: Horace Parlan (1931��2017) was an extraordinary jazz pianist and composer whose life and career were defined by resilience, innovation, and a singular musical voice. Despite the challenges posed by polio, which left his right hand partially disabled, Parlan became a defining figure in hard bop, post-bop, and avant-garde jazz. His artistry, both as a soloist and collaborator,…

Smash. Of course he still has to ask nicely~

Send in 'SMASH' if your muse would sleep with mine if they could or send 'PASS' if not

"Well.... it seems I've made an impression after all. Rest assured the feeling's mutual... as long as you ask nicely."

Rufus put his hand up against Shivan's, bringing the straw up to his lips and taking a sip. "The woes of the working class," he said with a playful smile. "What do you need done? I haven't humiliated Heidegger in some time. He can do it for you."

Shivan rolled his eyes at that, before raising the straw again. "Well, then take a sip. I have some things I need done- I can't sit in your lap forever, Mr. President." He teased.
