ALL JAZZED UP

Since it is difficult to quickly come up with a definitive list of the best jazz musicians, here's a short selection I support.
Many famous artists' names appear whenever we try to profile those who’ve shaped the development of good music.
Recently I was in the hospital for a medical procedure. The outstanding operating room doctor asked which was my favorite music. As my wife was leaving, she replied JAZZ.
The doctor played Miles in the background as I recalled meeting him, Dizzy, Mongo, Blakey, and others during my career.
CREDIT vs RESPECT

The man initially wrote his song 🎶 about wanting credit then the woman took on her powers and said she needed more Respect.
First came Otis who was looking for credit and expected when he got home. Then Aretha heard the song 🎵 and made a few changes to it and without much effort turned it into an international anthem for women worldwide.
Read on, listen, and learn all about the back story and the transformation of these two musical arrangements.

MOURNING MUSE

It is common knowledge that behind every good person, there is a greater one to provide motivation, love, support, and inspiration.
However, there are moments when moody artists and songwriters get hurt and want out. Other times they're sincere and grounded with their odes, lambasts, laments, or love letters to their ex muse sometimes when music is at its very best. They call upon a special feeling and a deeper sense of introspection that goes beyond noodling away in the studio until you have crafted something resembling a song.
SABOR A MI

While rebuilding Spanish language Television, I was attracted to a New Mexican motion picture that I wish to share with you today.
In 1987 I left NBC News for Noticiero SIN which soon became Univision and then NetSpan which was rebranded Telemundo. That same year, the following film was released by Televisa, my former employer, which has owned Unisiovion off and on over the years.

AJA in ASIA

While traveling to Asia I had the pleasure of listening to the following complete work of their album Steely Dan for the first time.
It was many years ago, but long after Shanghai was a small fishing village. But thanks to its location by the southern section of the Yangtze River, it has since grown to be the biggest city in China, and one of the largest in the entire world.
MOUTH vs MOUSE
Images
The Disney Corporation sues Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and officials over 'targeted campaign of government retaliation'
While Mickey appears to be happy and gay, there is no way Disney will allow Ronnie's disaster to push him away without something to say through legal challenges. MoRon Disaster is pretty petty and very vindictive rather than strong or decisive.
PENNIES FROM HEAVEN

My late father enjoyed this song, which was first recorded by his favorite singer "Pennies from Heaven" A 1936 smash hit.
