Thanks for posting Dilys Winn’s obit. I’d missed it. I’m a big fan of yours, Ethan, from way back in the Bad Plus days. I’m an artist who has always listened to jazz as I work. I also used to do picture research to pay the bills. I got to work with Dilys Winn and her editor at Workman, Sally Kovalchik on Murder Ink. I found the photos, pictures that illustrate it. The three of us had great fun.
Sorry for your loss. Maybe hire a shamus to find it. I know you hate my sense of humor or wordplay, but it’s springtime. I thought I would turn over a new leaf.
Speaking of Jerry Goldsmith, if you ever play the Palo Alto Art Center here there are two monotypes on the wall by Joseph Zirker. who was Jerry‘s first cousin.
And one: I am way out here, nearly 2938 miles driving from NYC, so I’m a little slow on the uptake but I noticed your use of “hit” as a gerund. Likewise Allison Miller last week in her email blast said it would be exciting “to hit with” Artemis at Zellerbach: I had only heard, and then imitated “the hit” as a noun, slang referring to the gig or more particularly in my usage the start time of the set per se. Makes me want to consult my Webster’s 11th to see if it has also morphed to official mos def.
Woke up this morning to realize “hitting” as a verb in the sense of a gig (or “gigging”) is a denominal verb, whereas a gerund is the opposite, a verb used as a noun; reminds me that Fred Haas told me that Don Cherry at Dartmouth made him play the heads of a score upside down and backwards…

I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly but I think Jade leaves the emotional heavy lifting to large chunks of the rite of spring.
