horrible, horrible song (see: Ethan Frome). but unfortunately in my head as my beloved is spending a few days in the Midwest.
so I made two trips into Manhattan in order to secure an interview with 90-year-old pianist Hank Jones (who played with Charlie Parker, Ella Fitzgerald, Benny Goodman, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Billie Holiday, Coleman Hawkins, Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Rollins . . . ). next up in line to the backstage area between his Birdland sets: Stanley Clarke and Chick Corea (kind of interesting to cross paths with Stanley Clarke since I just interviewed one of his S.M.V. partners, Marcus Miller, on Wednesday).
a quick stop by the Rum House to say hi on the way home since I was in the neighborhood (continually missing dinner) and should be in bed but the United States is beating Venezuela in volleyball (much subtext here after yesterday's murder of the coach's father-in-law). and that's a little more interesting than the badminton (men's and women's) I watched earlier today.
