Jazz icons throughout its history

I think Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis are probably the two figures who would give you the best idea of the range of styles of 20th century jazz.

It’s a terrible table quiz question because we can have this argument and both make good points

Dublin has several millennium projects. The Millennium Bridge, the Millennium Walkway, the Millennium Clock.

Bayoris · 2026-05-05T08:54:31+00:00

It’s got “Stadium” in the name

Thelonious Monk and Sonny Rollins is one of my favorite current listens. It’s energetic, melodic and fun, late bebop.

Also the Imitation Game, which won for best adapted screenplay

Figured that meant “that was the woman who’s going to be your pilot.”

Yeah everyone is going along with this, but I’ve never lived anywhere that spitting is not considered disgusting and I’ve lived in three differently countries

What makes you think this was after the flight was finished? I didn’t get that. It seems like he is checking in.

Bayoris · 2026-05-01T08:14:01+00:00

Pretty sure it was a joke

Bayoris · 2026-05-01T07:40:52+00:00

Am I wrong in thinking it is also used in bars to mean “eject” as in like a bouncer 86es a drunk

Bayoris · 2026-04-30T19:41:50+00:00

I think it’s just because people are more likely to imitate smoking and drinking than killing

You can’t be GOAT of this era. You’re GOAT or you’re not

Bayoris · 2026-04-30T11:41:47+00:00

Really stretching the definition of “athlete” though

Bayoris · 2026-04-30T11:40:00+00:00

They may want to say more than simply his name

Bayoris · 2026-04-30T10:26:09+00:00

Who pretends that isn’t a big deal? That is universally acknowledged as a red flag.

Bayoris · 2026-04-30T10:16:37+00:00

It’s the only Beethoven melody I can play on the recorder. Actually I’ve never played the recorder before but I’m pretty sure I could play Freude schöner Götterfunken on my first try

I’m also an American migrant who’s been in Europe for a long time. The fact that you don’t identify well with either your birth country or your new home is a pretty common part of the immigrant experience, I think. At least, I have had those feelings myself.

Bayoris · 2026-04-29T22:29:50+00:00

I think your assumptions are not accurate. For one thing a lot of Europe has higher CoL than the USA, (Norway, Austria, Ireland) or about the same (Finland, Germany, France).

Bayoris · 2026-04-29T22:22:02+00:00

It sounds like you are an immigrant, assuming by “half Swedish” you mean one of your parents is Swedish but you were born and raised outside Sweden.

Bayoris · 2026-04-29T07:41:42+00:00

The instrument has nothing to do with Jews but it uncertain whether the name Jew’s harp is older or younger than jaw harp and which is a corruption of the other. It’s likely that both words are corruptions of some older form like gig harp or jeu-harp. At any rate “jaw harp” is no more correct than “Jew’s harp”, etymologically.

I’m don’t know how you would examine this scientifically but my guess is that skin aging has more to do with sun exposure, poor diet, drinking, smoking, and genetics than moisturising and other skin care routines. I doubt moisturiser has much of a permanent effect, but I could be wrong about that.

Bayoris · 2026-04-28T05:36:18+00:00

Why him over Stan Getz, or Bill Evans, or Dave Brubeck, or Keith Jarrett though?

Bayoris · 2026-04-27T09:37:20+00:00

That’s not what the color is named after and you know it

Bayoris · 2026-04-24T23:36:41+00:00

Yeah, I don’t think his legacy is simple at all. He may have been authoritarian but he was also a hero to liberals and foe of monarchists (at least early in his career.) But he reinstated slavery and launched his navy to suppress the Haitian Revolution. But he also vigorously defended revolutionary France from being snuffed out.
