When Charlie Parker died at 34 in 1955, it was as if an ancient tree fell in the forest with the resulting sunlight promoting the growth of numerous alto saxophone progeny. Art Pepper appeared in Stan Kenton’s Orchestra in 1950 and by 1953 was recording as a leader while still collaborating with West coast colleagues like Shorty Rogers and Chet Baker. In 1957, his LP Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section signaled the maturity of a singular improviser from the West Coast School. Phil Woods kept the bebop spirit alive, touring and recording with Dizzy Gillespie in 1956 before gaining great attention with his 1957 LPs, Warm Woods and Phil and Quill. Jackie McLean apprenticed with Miles Davis through the early 1950s, and Charles Mingus and Art Blakey in the mid-1950s. With recordings like the 1959 LP New Soil, McLean became known as the classic Blue Note Hard Bop alto player. Cannonball Adderley burst on the scene with Kenny Clarke in 1955 as was hailed as the new Bird. His 1958 LP Something Else and contributions to Miles Davis’s 1959 Kind of Blue cemented his reputation forever. For the next eight years, before his early death, he defined soul jazz for the ages. In this hour, the alto after Bird - Art Pepper, Phil Woods, Jackie McLean and Cannonball Adderley.

Baking Work. With New Normals. And Tons of Community Support. Welcome to Episode 92 and a conversation with a great writer and a dear friend. Polina Chesnakova of Chesnok blog first struck me with the level of expertise in her food writing and her enthusiasm for Charlottesville and its community members who do the Work of Food. After meeting her several years ago (when we both wrote for Our Local Commons), I discovered this enthusiasm is infectious.

Polina is the Queen of Hustle. Food writing is just part of the equation. In her career, she's been a baker, a sous chef, created food programming for the Tom Tom Festival, taught cooking classes, even done some recipe testing. But what happens when an accomplished baker and writer loses the use of her hand because of disastrous circumstances? What happens when your whole world changes? We talk about it in this episode.

Charlottesville was not only elemental to her recovery but an important part of why she works in food. Polina asserts more than once during the conversation, had she landed in a metropolitan city like New York, she wouldn't have had the connection and dynamic opportunity and collaboration that a town like ours provides on a daily basis.

How is she doing now? What are her next steps? My opinion? Girlfriend needs to write a Georgian cookbook immediately because the dishes she describes and writes about on her blog sound phenomenal! What do Georgians eat and why is the cheese bread khachapuri having a moment? What does Chesnok mean in Russian? What are Pheasant's Tears? What are khinkali? And why are they made with a sense of urgency? Definitely, watch the video on her website where she makes them with her family. It's a hoot! Chesnok blog is one of the few newsletters I subscribe to because every entry is thoughtful, well-written, beautifully photographed. I always learn something. Worth your time in this busy world of ours. As is this fabulous episode. Enjoy!

Arising out of bebop vocals, a number of singers in the 1950s began to replicate famous instrumental solos with the human voice. The practice, initiated by Eddie Jefferson, King Pleasure and Annie Ross was known as vocalese and reached its peak in the extraordinary recordings of Lambert, Hendricks and Ross.
