With billows and blasts from choirs and orchesters
Buskers and talkers
Big bands and squawkers,
the Stork Club has retained its qualities of decaying elegance and dwindling significance since the late 1950s.

Favoriting November 7, 2021: The Book
A brilliant Texas-born tenor-sax player with a big, beautiful, bluesy tone, Booker Teleferro Ervin II didn’t quite reach his 40th birthday before dying of kidney disease. Best known for his work with Charles Mingus, Ervin left behind a startlingly large legacy besides: over a dozen solid leader dates - 9 on the Prestige label alone, as well as great work with Randy Weston, Jaki Byard, and many others.

' Antoine-Joseph "Adolphe" Sax (French: [ɑ̃twan ʒɔzɛf adɔlf saks]; 6 November 1814 – 7 February 1894)[a] was a Belgian inventor and musician who created the saxophone in the early 1840s, patenting it in 1846. He also invented the saxotromba, saxhorn and saxtuba. He played the flute and clarinet. '

Y'know, I've always thought of Booker Ervin as a straight ahead player (from his role as "straight man" to Dolphy in the Mingus band). But he really has an idiosyncratic approach to tone/pitch, seeming at once perfectly on and wavering off. Reassessing him (many thanks for this feature, Stork)...

Guilty confession: I most often hang at le Club in the guest bedroom/office where there is but a single speaker… I could clap on the cans, but then it'd be a disconcerting second or two out of sync with the speakers in the other rooms.

The usual is ADS speakers in the Living Room
- but I detangled my desktop speaker wires & dusted them off. I use iTunes to stream here - & there's the EQ to easily preset for every pair. I got two pair of desktops - one HarmonKardon, & one AltecLansing which have more Bass. So adjusting relative Volumes on them is a kind of 'mixing'...
