Yes, it's Monday.

Right now I am listening to my new favorite album: Bebo Valdés & Javier Colina, Live at the Village Vanguard.

This is Cuban jazz at its finest: mambo and chachachá. If you ever saw or listened to The Buena Vista Social Club and liked it, this would be your thing. Particularly, the song El Manisero (The Peanut Vendor).

If you have a music streaming vendor, look for the album. Or watch this and enjoy:

Also, here is Broadway, at night, shot at f/1.7 because why not.

A monochrome view looking down a San Francisco street and sidewalk, at night.

On the right, a row of metal cafe tables shines... but noone is sitting there. On the left. Three people are scrolling along the sidewalk, off to enjoy an evening on this stretch of night clubs and strip joints.

Being shot with a wide aperture, most of the scene is blurry bokeh... soft focus. — A monochrome view looking down a San Francisco street and sidewalk, at night.

I’m still trying to process this… I just won my first ever Grammy 🏆

Winner for Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella for Super Mario Praise Break, arranged by Bryan Carter, Charlie Rosen, and myself with The 8-Bit Big Band. Deeply grateful to God, my collaborators, and everyone who’s supported this journey.

walk, don't run.
(originale Jonny Smith, 1954)

pezzo incredibile reso poi popolare dai The Ventures nella versione surf (anche quella va ascoltata)
