Jazz OTD: If I've got it right, Nina Simone recorded this wonderful track for "Pastel Blues" on April 6, 1964. Simple and utterly masterful. #jazzsky

Jazz OTD: Roy Haynes's creative, thoughtful album "Cracklin'" is as much of a showcase for his "with" guest, saxophonist Booker Ervin, as it is for the great drummer. Recorded April 6, 1963 with Ronnie Mathews (p) and Larry Ridley (d). #jazzsky

Jazz OTD: Booker Ervin's debut album "The Book Cooks" has him paired, a bit oddly, with another tenor saxophonist, the dissimilar Zoot Sims; it showcases his distinctiveness. Recorded April 6, 1960 with Tommy Turrentine (tp), Tommy Flanagan (p), George Tucker (b), and Danny Richmond (p). #jazzsky

Jazz OTD: Hank Mobley (ts), Donald Byrd (tp), Horace Silver (p), Doug Watson (b), and Art Blakey (d) made history on April 6, 1956: the first session for the debut album "The Jazz Messengers." This opener captured the hard bop mastery long associated with the group's various iterations. #Jazzsky

Immanuel Wilkins’s SFJAZZ commission Recitations is the first by SFJAZZ in years, and may have been a disappointment, but it’s nevertheless the type of project the organization should be doing.

Jazz OTD: Five years before his famous "Weather Bird" duet with Earl Hines, Louis Armstrong recorded the song as a member of King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band, part of their magical day in the studio on April 6, 1923. The composition has been credited variously to Armstrong and Oliver. #jazzsky

Jesper Thorne - Stille (2026)
Danish double-bassist led group with tenor sax, trumpet, violin and piano. Some electronic/ ambient bits. Low key but not all slow tempo. The liner notes describe the vibe: music symbolising the need to find hope and purpose in disconsolate times.
