From my handwritten 1984 manuscript of Michael Brecker on Invitation. To be consistent with my other transcriptions on my blog I input this into Finale — but I think this handwritten version is quite lovely and readable, though my quarter note rests are pretty idiosyncratic.

@Y2SHAF You should make a post about this.

When you listened to Roy Haynes play, it was as if the music sent you a postcard saying, “Greetings from the future. Wish you were here!”

RIP, maestro.

@SP1NS1R @AdamMGrant JUST listened to this after seeing this tweet: a wonderful and thoughtful conversation that I'll be revisiting. Hats off to both of you!

I just learned the professional way to say "I told you so":

"This was identified early on as a likely outcome."

@muppetspice Totally agree!

Rearranged my schedule to grab a backyard hike before the cold front blowing in from the north changes everything.

My "guilty pleasure" is Peanut Butter Cups. Oh yeah also hookers. And church arson. That pretty much covers it in terms of guilty pleasures coming to mind right now.

My sister got my mom a new cat sweater, and let's just say ... it's turning heads.

Only @EricIdle could upstage one of the funniest openings ever written with a physical bit so unexpected & iconic that I think about it once a week. (From THE RUTLES: ALL YOU NEED IS CASH, 1978.)

One more from 13 years ago today: I arranged my tune A Simple Wish as a feature for the great Bruce Johnstone. Some of my prettiest 3-horn writing. https://t.co/8Ywype3KzC

Recorded 13 years ago today, my tune Deep Ellum, inspired by Horace Silver’s influence on Steely Dan, from House of Relics (“best local CD of the year” — Buffalo Spree Magazine; “present-day jazz of the highest order” — Buffalo News) https://t.co/Vs6NVxpR6F
