On this #NewMusicFriday, I’m elated to be talking about Wilco, Nduduzo, Jean Carne and more — and I think Ayana and Felix may have briefly made me an honorary Contreras? Thanks to them and Robin for an excellent session 🎧npr.org/2022/05/25/110…3
Thanks, Ann! You know this means a lot ❤️ twitter.com/annkpowers/sta…

Retweeted by Nate Chinen A decade ago, the Greene family lost 6-year-old Ana Grace to the mass shooting at Sandy Hook. Her mother, Nelba Márquez-Greene, has been a committed and caring advocate ever since, as this thread so eloquently shows. Spread some love to those who need it tonight. twitter.com/nelba_mg/statu…
The one and only Archie Shepp turns 85 on Tuesday. Here are five tracks I've been playing in his honor, along with some notes 🎷👑wbgo.org/music/2022-05-…fPv
Thinking about one of my last shows before lockdown: a classic Mike Stern throw-down at the 55 Bar, with @HagaEvan. Sad to know that I’ll never experience the vibe in this room again. Farewell to a true-blue NYC haunt 😿twitter.com/natechinen/sta…V
Caught a pretty smart double-header tonight at World Café Live: Makaya McCraven downstairs, Vieux Farka Touré upstairs. Groove for days.
If you’ve ever been to a jazz-related event at St. Peter’s church, fascinating story about the skyscraper that looms directly over it twitter.com/TrungTPhan/sta…

The pianist accompanying her that night on Happy Birthday and the parody lyric to Thanks for the Memories was the peerless Hank Jones -- #JazzFromDetroit. Marilyn sang only 16 bars -- 8 of each tune -- but Hank told me they rehearsed for 8 hours because she was so nervous. twitter.com/BeschlossDC/st…

“Alisa Amador’s winning performance – marked by a soaring vocal improv and imbued with Spanish inflection and a crystalline sense of purpose – captivates from start to finish.” –Nate Chinen (@natechinen)

Retweeted by Nate Chinen Chick Corea, who met Ron Moss through Scientology circles, was Elizabeth's godfather. And he cast her in the video for "Eternal Child," by the Elektric Band So...I guess this is her first onscreen appearance? dailymotion.com/video/x6xbn37
I was today years old when I learned that Elizabeth Moss is the daughter of Ron Moss, who managed and produced Chick Corea, and played trombone on a few of his albums. (From the NY’er profile by Michael Schulman)

Here is Adam O’Farrill’s Stranger Days at the Ruba Club, throwing down on some smart material that will end up on the next album. A post-bop playing field full of trapdoors. Another great Ars Nova hit. (Happy b’day, Mark!)
SO good to catch up with @nprSuraya at @noncommusic — first irl hang in a few years! @jazznight team ftw 🥂1

Remember when Cecil Taylor said that an audience should come prepared, and some folks freaked out? twitter.com/ringer/status/…

Retweeted by Nate Chinen Just woke up from a dream: I was interviewing Lee Konitz and Dan Tepfer onstage in Seattle. At one point I surprised them by playing a bootleg of one of their improvisations, and the music was so vivid and beautiful.
We lost Lee on April 15, 2020; @tepferdan, thinking of you 💐C
