Taylor Ho Bynum, a fascinating and joyful onstage presence with @TomasFujiwara's Triple Double at @firehouse12. I'm a huge fan!

[Barry Silver @midnightgreen]

Thrilled to see Mary Halvorson perform with @TomasFujiwara's Triple Double at @firehouse12.

@TomasFujiwara's Triple Double at @firehouse12 last night. A transporting experience, symphonic in its range and impact. Music!!

@natechinen with a new Substack. Worthwhile? Oh HELL yes!https://t.co/Rcdd9nUbZf

@RataplanRecNYC Really sensational performance by all four of the all-stars on stage last night. So glad I was there!!

@Mark_Stryker Only 84? That number surprises me (would have guessed higher). Saw FH with Elvin's band in Tokyo in 1987 or 1988. McCoy on p. What would I pay for a (magic) ticket to see that again???

[Barry Silver @midnightgreen]

@Mark_Stryker @JazzTimes Just ordered a copy of “Jazz From Detroit”. Well earned! (From an indi bookstore btw. Can’t buy books about musicians on Amazon)

@studiesincrap Already a C.T. fan, I absolutely loved this piece, not least because of your choice of interviews. Inspired me, so I'm listening to "The Willisau Concert" right now. Really outstanding job by you.

@ethan_iverson @thenation Love the insights, the knowledge, the writing.

Chris is a rock star!

[Spoon and Stable @spoonandstable]

Chef Chris adds the finishing touches to our octopus a la plancha, served with merguez sausage, tarais beans, piperade, and fennel sofrito.

Always loved @sonnyrollins “East Broadway Run Down” w/Elvin, Garrison, Hubbard. The version on the start-to-finish-sensational “Trigonometry” recording by @kenvandermark DKV Trio made my day! #jazz #HugeHamidDrakeFan

[Barry Silver @midnightgreen]

@JonahDispatch Love that song!

@BleedingGreen And why again would that matter to folks who are interested in final scores of football games?

@abtran @rachelweinerwp @chrisalcantara What an awful tweet. By all means lay out the risks for people, but to campaign against all the small businesses and low-wage employees whose livelihoods depend on diner traffic is so irresponsible. The press should let people make informed choices and not try to start a panic.

1000 thanks @DarienCEOJayme for keeping the pressure on our very sleepy utility company. We're finally back on the grid! Thanks also to these hardworking folks from Tennessee who did the fixing! We now return to our regularly scheduled 2020 stress levels... 😬

[Barry Silver @midnightgreen]

Endless thanks to this fine fellow + all at @SuburbanPropane for saving us 4 days into the endless power failure. This is a company which cares about its customers. Maybe you can tutor @EversourceCT whose crisis response strategy is: go into hiding. @DarienCEOJayme @GovNedLamont

[Barry Silver @midnightgreen]

@DarienCEOJayme @TownofDarienCT @EversourceCT Thx Jayme! Town response A+. But doesn't it seem like the most indifferent of responses from Eversource and Optimum we've seen in a major regional event like this? Haven't seen their logos anywhere. A little communication from these lifeline companies would help! #accountability

[Barry Silver @midnightgreen]

I guess I don't have to tweet this, #jazz friends. You already know Joel Ross is THE exciting name. @iplayvibes electrifying my quarantini hour!

[Barry Silver @midnightgreen]

@TownofDarienCT @JaymeStevenson Got it! Thanks for that quick reply. Will let my beagle know!
