Thanks to the recommendations of Ted Gioia and his site The Honest Broker. Subscribe on the site. Far above anyone else who looks at culture these days. Been on the site for a few years now. (Thanks to Bill my jazz friend friend Texas for introducing me to Ted!) Today’s post has some new albums Ted recommends. The blog today brought delivered the above to me. Thanks Ted.

Always the best recommendation across all aspects of culture today. In my opinion, the leading American cultural critic. If anyone wants to go directly to the jazz performance, go to 1:50 in the above video.

Much on Art Pepper for those who are interested.
