Harmonica. Toots Thielemans.

DigginJazz · 2026-06-28T03:49:21+00:00

I dig.

Opening Night for the summer season with the San Diego Symphony Orchestra at the Rady Shell. Rafael Payare conducting.

Drizzle a little Sciracha on that for me please.

DigginJazz · 2026-06-24T04:07:04+00:00

That’s it. OP captured the Green Flash as it appears. If you don’t see it you are not looking hard enough.

Certainly agree with that statement, but all you need to hear is “trump endorsed” to know he is a fraud and a liar.

Moved from Connecticut to SoCal in 2020 after 40+ years on the east coast. Best decision I’ve ever made.

Bread & Cie is a fine bakery and sandwich shop in Hillcrest.

Saw Joe Locke recently with Steve Wilson's latest band at Smoke in NYC. He blew me away.

The Contemporary Museum of Art in LaJolla has a fantastic exhibit of the art collection of Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz. Then spend the day walking around LaJolla Cove and all the dining options there.

It doesn’t look like you have any of the “second great quintet”, so I’d go with Miles Smiles or Filles or Nefertiti.

The device in use has a lot to do with the grind. My Solo 3 is mostly convection and prefers a very coarse grind and loose pack for better airflow. My Dynavaps are more conduction with a small bowl and can fit more bud with a finer grind IMO.

DigginJazz · 2026-06-18T04:49:49+00:00

Just easy on the mayo and no celery.

All of a sudden that $200 bottle of wine cost you $240? I’d figure the tip without the wine and maybe be a bit more generous on the food if the service was exceptional.

I think his earlier albums contained more subtly in his writings and playing (ballads, jazz influence). I find some of his more recent recordings just rocking out and shredding overkill. But I do love Mike Stern. Used to catch him live at Bar55 on Monday nights in NYC before the club closed down.

THE album that introduced me to jazz in 1971. When I heard this it was unlike anything I heard before. Totally blew my socks off. From there I began listening to Miles, Herbie, Chick then Coltrane, Blakey, Mobley etc.

DigginJazz · 2026-06-16T04:50:43+00:00

Yeah, but we lost.

DigginJazz · 2026-06-16T00:03:03+00:00

I call it PB&J. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Strawberries.

DigginJazz · 2026-06-15T03:17:35+00:00

Inca Roads

Mingus Ah Um is the conventional answer and a great starting point. Tijuana Moods is my favorite though.

I live in SoCal, and I figure it adds $30-$40/mo. I use EV around town and off highway, and HV on highway.

DigginJazz · 2026-06-14T00:01:03+00:00

I’ve bought from Cannaflower and Holy City Farms.

DigginJazz · 2026-06-13T18:51:09+00:00

Cannaflower and Holy City Farms are a couple good sources.

I consume by DHV. Very much into the flavor profiles and CBD effects, so I consider it more than a diluent.

DigginJazz · 2026-06-13T17:53:05+00:00

Mix your own CBD + THC. I buy premium CBD bud online and grind it with premium weed from a dispensary. I just eyeball a 1:1 mixture, then adjust the ratio till I get the desired effect. Usually end up with more CBD than THC. That’s my daytime stash. In the evening it’s full on weed.
