Sonny Berman -Nocturne
Sonny died at 21, on the cusp of being mentioned in the same breath as trumpeters like Clifford Brown. Shot heroin and had a heart attack. Such a loss.

Great album by the late Yvonne Fair. She sang with James Brown's band (and had a kid with James) and with Chuck Jackson. She opened for The O'Jays, The Temptations, The Jacksons, Stevie, and Marvin.
It's a shame this is her only album.

Fascinating. Watch Bernie get surprisingly honest answers from AI platform Claude.

Dude picks up a Booker T Xmas record, some Lucinda (he did a co-write on her new album), a couple other things, and a record by free jazz drummer/composer Milford Graves, which I'm too old to listen to, but the story he tells about Graves and one of the ways he composes is fascinating.

Men need to women up and know when to help.
This is the domestic violence hand signal.
I’ve never seen a full movie embedded in a Wikipedia piece. It is public domain (1931) so it makes sense.

This song and the performance is so next level.

It’s perfect start to stop.
