Today is Bob's 98 birthday ๐ฅ
...and he would ALWAYS celebrate it
@deerheadjazz Deer Head Inn where Bob would take command of the stage in his own humble & oh so charming way ! I know he's found a new joint up in heaven and doing exactly the same !!! Miss you & Love you dearly !
Lots of B-Days to celebrate this week on Sunday Morning Jazz, 7-10am on @KUTX, including @franksinatra, drummer Tony Williams, @doroughdoc plus new holiday tunes from @norahjones and @katedmonson and classics from @BillieHolidayHQ, Esther Philips and Stan Getz. New music, too.
One of many FAB journeys with Bob from his home in Mt. Bethel, PA to NYC (this time for a gig @ famed West Village haunt The Bitter End)
Bob always liked to pitstop at McD's off the HWY in NJ: for a coffee, an apple pie & a whiz ; ) Boy, I miss him so dearly @mabooshi ๐ถ๐น๐ค๐๐ผ๐
A year from now whoโs new album will we be talking about?!โฆHands down itโll be the great & oh so #soulful Mr. @Williespence ๐๐คฉ๐๐ถโจ๐พ๐๐ผ
Itโs another unexpected recording in Bobโs eclectic & exceptional career filled with astonishing projects & collaborations ! ๐๐ผ๐ถ๐น๐คโจโค๏ธ
Not the worst idea...but as a long time fan you should know beloved Bob passed away nearly three years ago on April 23, 2018. And, in the 10+ years I knew him I only once saw him get a dry & utter curse word; he would NEVER write or record a song with evev a single swear word ๐๐ผ
Iโm beyond thrilled to share that on March 16, Iโll be launching a new show on @Netflix called Waffles + Mochi! I'm excited for families and children everywhere to join us on our adventures as we discover, cook, and eat delicious food from all over the world.
Tomorrow is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, so Iโm celebrating the impact of women scientists around the worldโincluding the next generation of women in #STEM like Nimon, a student from the @GirlsAlliance community in Kenya.
Watch her inspiring story. โค๏ธ
@mattzollerseitz Dorough put words to Yardbird Suite on his '56 record, which is terrific from start to finish. But this track in particular is very educational, & probably the root of all of the SHR stuff he did later.
