Happy 88th bday to maestro @RonCarterBass, one of the greatest to ever do it & still playing at an insanely high level of creativity/execution. Here he is in 1964 but what he's doing remains state of the art. The transcription clarifies. #JazzFromDetroit https://t.co/KRk1Aqt5t0

@YWHelp Hi, I can't login to my a/c. When I log in the page keeps refreshing and never loads. There is no way of contacting you by internet or phone

Rereading Robert Hughes's essay The Decline of the City Mahagonny on visual arts vs the mass media and more. One of the great essays, I think. Stunningly well-written and prescient.

Between plunging the last knife into the heart of the record industry, and platforming Joe Rogan, the amount of damage that Spotify has done to our community is almost too much to contemplate.

Arts funding system needs root and branch review

[Dr Adam Rutherford @AdamRutherford]

Ok, here we go: Much of my work concerns the history and return of scientific racism. I’ve written extensively about attempts to resurrect the shuffling corpse of
race science and eugenics for many years. Bigotry dressed up as biology. 1/n

🚨 Breaking news

The @rcgp has opposed the expansion of PAs in primary care 😮

They have also opposed the paragraph allowing current scope of existing PAs in primary care to continue.

New work will commence to set that scope.

I did not actually expect this and I’m grateful for the 61% who stood up for patients and the tax payer as well as the thousands of GPs out of work currently.

[Dr Sandeep Bansal @iDrSunny]

Thousands of GPs out of work

Yet over 1500 PAs in primary care. And thousands more other staff replacing GPs

Whilst patients can’t get GP appointments

Why?

Happy birthday to Elvin Jones, one of my greatest heroes, born 9/9/27 in Pontiac. Never any doubt that I wanted his picture on the cover of “Jazz from Detroit.” Photo by Francis Wolff. Gratitude to the late Michael Cuscuna, who gave me a generous discount on the licensing fee.

[John Warren @thisjohnwarren]

@Mark_Stryker Absolute bargain, then and now.

[The Believer @believermag]

We’re so very sorry to hear of the passing of the brilliant writer Steve Silberman. In 2018, we published his incredible piece about jazz pianist Bill Evans. You can read “Broken Time” here:

80 today Happy birthday to the very inventive musician John Surman (born 30 August 1944)

[Rob Luft @Rob_Luft]

One of the great legends of British Jazz, John Surman, turns 80 today. We’ve been touring Europe for the past year promoting his quartet album “Words Unspoken” on @ECMRecords with the masterful Thomas Strønen & Rob Waring. Happiest of Birthdays, dear John 🤍

Thread of crazy painting details 🧵

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

The longest sentence handed down to a violent racist rioter this week is shorter than the sentences imposed on entirely peaceful environmental protesters last month.
Labour must repeal the Tory laws that treat peaceful protest more severely than violent disorder and assault.

[Richard Iles @ilesjazz]

This is a great thread.
