Jazz in a Pandemic / by Tim Lane

I haven’t listened to Chet Baker in some time, but I’ve turned to him during the past few weeks. I’ve also been listening to Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderley and Duke Ellington.

I love Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Dinah Washington and Diana Krall. Trumpeters Freddy Hubbard, Clifford Brown and Wynton Marsalis. Guitarist Wes Montgomery.

Enjoy the video of Miles playing with Cannonball Adderley on “Autumn Leaves.”

And since the 40th anniversary of Ian Curtis’ death was this past Monday, I’ve included a link to a series of paintings I made as a tribute.
