A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

I recall a made-for-TV movie with Elizabeth Montgomery, about a woman trying to get the police to take her rape seriously.

Speaking of Twilight Zone (Roberto), the one with Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery where they are the last survivors of (some unnamed) apocalypse. DANG was she hot in that! Well, everything really.

If in NYC, anyone ever seen the fellow who rides his bike around, playing cassettes of Edith Piaf? (The old 40s tune reminded.)

Nice! "Star Eyes" is my favorite tune Bird made popular. Maybe a Top 10 favorite "jazz" song for me. I thought I had heard all the versions but apparently not... Thank you TROUBLE!!!

new to me, love this.

“It's kind of a double bluff calling it the National Jazz Trio Of Scotland,” says Bill Wells of a group that is famously neither a jazz band or a trio. “I was trying to be kind of perverse about it, calling it jazz and then deliberately not having anything that actually related to jazz.” -from their bandcamp

Crime is a great vehicle for investigating all of our fears, from the elemental and base fears of violence to subtler fears of being an atomized person awash in an uncaring and indifferent world, caught in the jaws of a mechanistic society. It also is a great way to structure narrative.
