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.

July 2, 2023: Singles Remind Me of Kisses; Albums Remind Me of Plans
Another dreadful week for humankind. Relinquish all earthly cares (and your sobriety while you're at it), all ye who enter The Club. Today we swing and sway, and give a little love to the great pianist and native Pittsburgher Ahmad Jamal, who exited this mean old world not three months ago - now no doubt entertaining a more deserving audience.

' Ahmad Jamal (born Frederick Russell Jones; July 2, 1930 – April 16, 2023) was an American jazz pianist, composer, bandleader, and educator. For six decades, he was one of the most successful small-group leaders in jazz. He was a National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Jazz Master and won a Lifetime Achievement Grammy for his contributions to music history. '

Appropriately for today's Ahmad Jamal birthday broadcast, the first of the Project's cocktails began in Chicago -- or, rather, in the mind of Stork Club bartender Chicago Joe Hersey, who devised the world's first artificial self-sustaining Glen Passaic reactor, known as the Chicago Pile:
Chicago Pile
36oz Glen Passaic (fissionable material)
shot glasses (reaction vessels)
aluminum foil (neutron reflector)
playing cards (structural materials)
5 long-handled bar spoons (moderators)
Lead vest
Geiger counter
Envelope (18) individual playing cards -- any suit, but no Jokers, and no 7 of Spades -- in aluminum foil, shiny side out.
Arrange twelve of the shot glasses, four shots wide and three shots deep, thus:
oooo
oooo
oooo
Into each, carefully pour 1oz of Glen Passaic.
Top with foil-covered playing cards in such a way as to cover all the Glen Passaic, but leave small holes directly above the gaps between the glasses, thus:
oxooxo
oxoxoxo
oxooxo
Top with a second layer of 1oz shots of Glen Passaic, spaced directly above the glasses in the layer below.
Top with a second layer of overlapping, identically-gapped foil covered cards
Carefully lower the bar-spoons, bowl end up, down into the gaps.
Add a third and final, identical layer of shots, and cover with a third and final, identical layer of cards, weaving them around the spoon handles
Slowly, evenly, and carefully lift the spoons from the pile until the Geiger counter clicks steadily at 90bmp.
The pile has begun a sustained fission reaction. At this point you may toast your success one of two ways: the safe way or the fun way. The safe way: lower spoons back into the pile, disassemble it, and toast your success with the shots of Glen Passaic that are now rather warmer than when you poured them. The fun way: shout "Drink or go critical!", yank the spoons from the pile, and knock down as many shots as you can before the room goes purple.
Dispose of spoons, glasses, and foil-covered cards according to local HAZMAT regulations; or just sweep them into a washtub, and dump them into the Passaic Creek by dark of night.

Gregory Maqoma can be really good, though sometimes there's too much talk. Worth taking the chance, though it looks expensive
I like Rachid Ouramdane, and this one is good (a little too much video though)
Trajal Harrell looks interesting (the Köln Concert is the only piece I saw, but more coming). Great music, obviously, but I wasn't all that convinced by the dance. Mixing voguing and butoh makes a lot of sense though, and some parts deliver

When I first moved to New York, I went to see a lot of chamber music. It was easy to get standby tickets at Weill Recital Hall, and to walk there from work. When it became more work to go, I let it slide. Looking back, well, looking back.

Ahmad Jamal was known for his laid-back style and for his influence on, among others, Miles Davis, who once said, “All my inspiration comes from Ahmad Jamal.”

"At 7, Jamal began classical studies, and growing up, he was particularly drawn to the power of Hungarian-born composer and pianist Franz Liszt and French composers Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy, who made an art form out of the space between notes -- as Jamal would years later."
