@lizardllama Man those webcasts were truly a gift

Fuck yes! New release forthcoming from the Jeff Parker ETA IVTet. And here’s the 17 minute “single” which is already streaming. I cannot overstate how much I love their first album (and how much I would love to see this group live). #Jazz

My wife and I are dropping our son off for his semester in NYC and tonight we went to see Oh Mary! on Broadway. I cannot recommend the play enough.

It’s a completely ahistorical play about alcoholic and aspiring cabaret star Mary Todd Lincoln (played by Cole Escola, who is also the playwright) in the days leading up to Abe’s assassination. It is exceptional silly and riotously funny. If you have chance to see it (it’s playing into November), just go!

@LittleTokyo Haha. If only!

@LittleTokyo And Vance is talking about the way Walz shook his wife’s hand on stage on a national Sunday morning talk show. Amazing stuff.

@LittleTokyo Yeah, I’m quite sure I cannot tell the difference

@LittleTokyo Right? One of the very best tracks on the LP.

Not sure where I got this rec (maybe here on Masto?), but really digging this LP. A bit of a 70s fusion jam feel, kinda downtempo, a bit ambient? However you describe it, good, chill music. Perfect for late night or your morning coffee. #Jazz

@LittleTokyo It’s quite good — nicely balanced. Glad a grabbed a bottle.

Trying out this new local amaro, and really digging it. The producer is a co-owner of Novare Res, the best beer bar in Portland (and really one of the best anywhere).

@LittleTokyo So how far off is LivePhish from introducing live VR streams? The 2027 Sphere run? Or maybe 2029 for the fifth anniversary Sphere run?

@LittleTokyo Absolutely loved it. Definitely felt like they were trying to explore new zones
