background jazz N°37 'A Midnight Christmas Alone'

Thank you for listening to "A Midnight Christmas Alone." This album brings you the gentle sounds of Christmas with a touch of soulful jazz piano, blending beautifully with saxophone, guitar, and electric keys to create a warm, peaceful ambiance for the season. Perfect for working, relaxing, or simply unwinding.

A new Muriel Grossmann is always worth investigating. I was immediately hooked by the music on Universal Code, which features deft instrumental dexterity around Grossman’s shimmering sax. Awe-inspiring stuff from Grossman assisted on guitar, Hammond organ, drums and upright bass in her quest to create something completely original. It is a carefully crafted combination of styles and surprises, neatly wrapped in a colourful package. Don’t miss out on this!

Ace saxophonist David Sanborn has died, age 78.

He played with everybody from Albert King to Stevie Wonder and Bruce Springsteen, but I most enjoy his work with Bowie, as seen above in an early version of “Young Americans” on The Dick Cavett Show and the definitive “Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing” from David Live. He’s all over that album, in fact, and his distinctive tone cuts and glides throughout.

In the ‘80s, he co-/hosted the best music show ever on television, Sunday Night (later, Night Music), where he played in the stellar house band behind a Who’s Who of music of that era, such as this rare TV appearance by Miles Davis.

And he recorded a series of solo albums, among them Upfront, where I heard King Curtis’ classic “Soul Serenade” for the first time, as played by Sanborn.

A lover and creator of, and collaborator in, timeless music.

Lester Young outside the Five Spot Jazz Club, the Bowery, 1958.

The first jazz musician I ever photographed, Lester Young performing at The Five Spot Café, on the Bowery, 1958. Now here was a quiet soul, someone who let his music speak for him. I took this shot outside before the show, Lester being greeted by an unknown admirer or so I believe. I've never been able to identify this person. The famous pork pie hat at a slight—and cool—angle.

I just discovered that Ethiopian Jazz exists. I can't get enough of it.

I'm currently obsessed with this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N7150EfPaI
