@ethanhein Does Cole Porter’s Evry Time We Say Goodbye count? “How strange the change from major to minor” right as it changes from major to minor.

So ... if this site finally goes belly-up, I'll be over at Bluesky as https://t.co/YPtNNlQtxH. Any other jazz musicians hanging over there yet?

Just did a little workspace decor update, as a few recent Grammy certificates arrived! Much love and gratitude to Christian McBride, Arturo O'Farrill, Orrin Evans, Emilio Solla, Doug Beavers, and Charles Tolliver for including me on so many of your amazing projects!!!

@techdef I last played with him in Dec. with Art Baron’s band, and he’s still one of the most swinging bass players around!

[Todd Bashore @bashoremusic]

@RonBlakeMusic @bobbybroom @kobiewatkins @CampsiteBio Go on Ron! Can’t wait to hear it!

[Todd Bashore @bashoremusic]

Looking forward to a really fun run of gigs coming up! I'll be at QPAC on Friday playing with Tito Puente, Jr's band, Saturday I'll be leading a quartet at BRVSH CUL7UR3, a great new club in Teaneck, and Tuesday I’ll be on a performance honoring the legacy of Slide Hampton.

@Mark_Stryker @ethan_iverson Seems like a good day to break out some Sir Roland!

[Todd Bashore @bashoremusic]

@techdef @Prexmusic @mcbridesworld Yeah, I love his playing too! I haven't had a chance to play this one yet, but it seemed like a cool limited project.

[Todd Bashore @bashoremusic]

Nice trip to @Prexmusic today! First track I had to play was "Obsequious" off @mcbridesworld's new one! Whoo!!! I had heard Q's arrangement of "Chant of the Weed" before, but people sleep on how hip Don Redman was writing back in 1931.

[Todd Bashore @bashoremusic]

@gtoppo @tedgioia @GreatJazzAlbums @techdef @RichardScheinin @BradFarberman @TheVelvetVoyce @jazyjef He recorded it as “Meet Me Tonight in Dreamland”, but it’s not the same tune as the old standard by that name. I think remember Paul Jeffrey just calling it “Dreamland.” https://t.co/Ai9ji8Gy6V

[Todd Bashore @bashoremusic]

@Mark_Stryker @Prexmusic @mcbridesworld I’ve actually had the version of Obsequious off the “Woody Shaw Concert Ensemble” recording as my ringtone for the past couple of years!

[Todd Bashore @bashoremusic]

@tedgioia I played with him in December with Art Baron’s band. He’s still got a great feel and swinging too!

[Todd Bashore @bashoremusic]

I’m honored to have a couple of arrangements on this recording! Congrats Arturo!!!

[Todd Bashore @bashoremusic]

@GreatJazzAlbums @Mark_Stryker That was new to me too, but sheesh, look at the band. Can’t listen until I’m back home though.

[Todd Bashore @bashoremusic]

@GreatJazzAlbums @Mark_Stryker Really amazing store! They have new stuff all the time, so I try to pop in once a week or so. I’m visiting family in NC, so had a good trip to Carolina Soul yesterday too.

[Todd Bashore @bashoremusic]

@Mark_Stryker @GreatJazzAlbums Haha! Princeton Record Exchange bought someone’s amazing Mosaic collection a month or so ago and had maybe 100 of them in stock. Grabbed this and told my wife she was giving it to me for Xmas.
