Friends, enemies, comrades, Jacobins, Monarchist, Bonapartists, gather round. We have an important announcement:

The continent is beset with war. A tenacious general from Corsica has ignited conflict from Madrid to Moscow and made ancient dynasties tremble. Depending on your particular political leanings, this is either the triumph of a great man out of the chaos of The Terror, a betrayal of the values of the French Revolution, or the rule of the greatest upstart tyrant since Caesar.

But, our grand tournament is here to ask the most important question: Now that the flower of European nobility is arrayed on the battlefield in the sexiest uniforms that European history has yet produced (or indeed, may ever produce), who is the most fuckable?

The bracket is here: full bracket and just quadrant I

On October 29th 1740 James Boswell, the biographer, diarist and travel writer was born in Edinburgh.

Boswell is best known for the biography he wrote of one of his contemporaries, the English literary figure Samuel Johnson, which is commonly said to be the greatest biography written in the English language.

The son of Lord Auchinleck, Boswell matriculated in 1753 to study at the city’s University. In 1759 his father sent him to Glasgow, where he attended the classes of Adam Smith and others, but he tired of student life and fled to London on 1 March 1760. He became a lawyer, a writer and, and most famously the biographer of the aforementioned Samuel Johnson.

He first met Johnson on 16 May 1763 at Tom Davies Bookshop in Russell Street. It was the start of a lifelong friendship, with eventually Johnson calling him ‘Bozzy’.

By all accounts Bozzy was a handsome fellow, with an engaging character and great deal of charm evident in the portrait by George Willison attached to this post, painted during the early summer of 1765 when Boswell was in his mid twenties.

By outstandingly gatecrashing himself into literary circles James Boswell managed to introduce himself, during extended travels on the continent from 1763 – 1766, to two of the eighteenth centuries, and history’s most important civil liberty protagonists.

They were a dynamic duo, the self styled wit Voltaire (Francois-Marie Arouet), and political philosopher, educationist and author Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

James Boswell returned to England from his Grand Tour in February 1766 accompanied by Rousseau’s mistress. Three years later he married his cousin Margaret Montgomerie with whom he had six children.

In 1773 Boswell and Johnson shared a tour of the Hebrides. Boswell published an account of their journey in 1785, including a description of Johnson merrily swinging a broadsword and wearing traditional Scottish garb. Boswell brought Corsican nationalist Pasquali Paoli and the Polish ambassador Count Burzynski to visit Glasgow University. They were greeted by several professors and a large crowd of spectators, and toured the printing works and the Academy of Art with the University printers Robert and Andrew Foulis. They stopped off in Glasgow on their return, and stayed at the Saracen’s Head Inn near the University, which is still trading to this day.

For much of James Boswell’s life his father despaired of him. He didn’t follow his father’s profession and practice law, preferring his writing above all. However he did became 9th Laird of Auchinleck, but in the end his years of enjoying the good life finally caught up with him.

Not many people have a word named after them, to be ‘Boswellian’ means to be a constant companion and observer. Another noted Scotsman, Arthur Conan Doyle honoured his fellow countryman and writer Boswell in his works. His celebrated detective Sherlock Holmes said ‘that talent instantly recognizes genius’ and referred to his own cherished companion and observer, Dr Watson, as ‘my Boswell’.

After Johnson’s death in 1784, Boswell moved to London to try his luck at the English Bar, which proved even less successful than his career in Scotland. In 1792 Boswell lobbied the Home Secretary to help gain royal pardons for four Botany Bay escapees including Mary Bryant. He also offered to stand for Parliament but failed to get the necessary support, and he spent the final years of his life writing his Life of Samuel Johnson. During this time his health began to fail due to venereal disease and his years of drinking. Boswell died in London in 1795.

Boswell’s remains were interred in the crypt of the Boswell family mausoleum in what is now the old Auchinleck Kirkyard in Ayrshire. The mausoleum is attached to the old Auchinleck Kirk.

Photos from my Opera Garnier Trip 2 of 3

Took some photos of the exhibit up at the Opera Garnier for my own (cough cough) research purposes and thought it might be helpful for others! Thought the Don Quixote dress looked awfully familiar!

Transcript of the information under the cut:

Gounod and Massenet at the Palais Garnier

Charles Gounod and Jules Massenet were two of the main composers who dominated the stage of the Palais Garnier around 1900, achieving a string of critically acclaimed successes. They embodied both a genre - that of grand opera with its hoses of star performers, featuring some of the greatest dramatic female singers of the day - and an artistic and financial system that led to the development of by-products and the golden age of the Paris Opera from its inauguration to the eve of the First World War. In 1859, Faust, based on Part 1 of Goethe's Faust (with a libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carre) was performed for the first time at the Theater-Lyrique. Charles-Francois Gounod's work was an undeniable success and was performed 70 times in its first year alone. It soon entered the repertory of the Opera and became a mainstay. Jules Massenet, another prolific composer who explored most musical genres, also achieved great success at the Palais Garnier with Le Cid, Thais, and Griselidis. Fascinated by Wagner, whom he discovered in 1860, Massenet rapidly developed his own style, and soon acquired a following. In his composition class at the Conservatoire, he taught a whole generation of opera composers, including Gustave Charpentier, Reynaldo Hahn, Xavier Leroux, and Gabriel Pierne.

Opera at the Palais Garnier around 1900

While Jules Massenet, Charles Gounod, and Giuseppe Verdi (who supervised the first performances of his words at the Palais Garnier himself) were all triumphantly acclaimed at the Paris Opera in their lifetimes, Wagner took a little longer to inspire the unanimous recognition of the Parisian public. His rise was slow but the deeply-rooted and Germany's most famous composer finally enjoyed genuine success thanks to the unremitting work of a management team headed by Andre Charles Prosper Messager (1908-1914) known as "Messager", and Leimistin Broussan, known as "Broussan". As a result, Paris audiences were able to see a performance of the entire Ring cycle for the first time in June 1911. At this period, the Palais Garnier hosted Serge Diaghilev's Ballet Russes company, and Richard Strauss' Salome and Saint-Saens Dejanire both entered the repertory. During the Belle Epoque, the Palais Garnier was one of the chief places for Paris society to meet and be entertained, with an audience of subscribers made up of leading financiers, industrialists, and politicians.

Jean-Francois Milllet

Çapalı Adam resminden ötürü sosyalistler Millet'in kendi yanlarında olduğunu, bu kadar eziyet çekmiş bir sanatçının, köylü hayatının acılarını ifade etmiş bir köylü dehanın düşünceleriyle mutabık kalması gerektiğini düşünmüşlerdir. Kesinlikle böyle değildi... O biraz fazla incil tarzıydı. Önder veya takip eden olsun, modern düşüncelerin ilerleyişinin bilincine varmadan, anlamaksızın hatta kendine rağmen bu düşünceyi savunan kör insanlardan biriydi!

Oğluna Mektubu, 2 Mayıs 1887- Camille Pissarro

Adam eğildi, elleri ile kadının yüzünü tuttu ve gözlerinin içine baktı...

Kadın gülümsedi ne oldu neden baktın?? dedi.

Gözlerinin rengini merak ediyorum dedi adam.,

Kadın gülümsedi Peki dedi sana anlatayım.?

Nasıl yani ? dedi adam.

Kadın gülümsedi dinle dedi..

Gözlerim.,

Soğukta üşüyenler varken

Sıcakta keyif çatanları.,

İnsanlar açken açıkken

Giydiğini beğenmeyenleri

Çıplak ayakla dolaşanlar varken

Ayakkabısını koyacak yer bulamayanları,

Yani bunları görünce gözlerim

Karbeyazı buz keser.

İşte o zaman gözlerim hüzün siyahı olur,

Açlar doyunca, donanlar ısınınca

Benimde gözlerim ısınır ve buzlar eriyip akar gözlerimden

Siyahlıklar yok olur.

Gözlerim.

İnsanlara yapılan haksızlıkları

Savaşları, ölümleri katliamları

Ezilenleri sıcakta kavrulup yananları,

Bir lokma ekmek için koşanları görünce,

İşte o zaman gözlerim hüzün kahverengi olur...

Savaşlar bitince

İnsanlar mutlu olunca

Benim gözlerimden hüzünler akar

Kahverengi yok olur.

İşte o zaman huzur dolu mavi olur..

Gözlerim

Uçsuz bucaksız ovaları

Heybetli dağları

Açan çiçekleri

Uçan kelebekleri

Koşan oynayan çocukları

Mutlu insanları görünce

İşte o zaman yeşil yemyeşil olur...

Bahar yağmurları ile yıkanan

Pırıl pırıl bir yeşil olur mutluluktan

Gözlerim..

Gökyüzünün Maviliklerini

Umudun sonsuzluğunu

Denizlerin dalgasını

Tek tek damlayan yağmur damlalarını görünce

İçimi bir huzur kaplar...

Bir martı kanadına tutunur

Hüzünleri bir bir dağıtıp

Pırıl pırıl bir gökyüzünde açan güneş gibi,

Bal rengine dönüşür en tatlısından

Gözlerim..

Sevdiğimi gördüğünde

Tıpkı şimdi olduğu gibi

En masumundan sevgi

En çılgınından aşk

En olmazından hayal

En çılgın ruhundan sadakat

En pembesinden mutluluk

En kırmızısından asilik

En mavisinden sonsuzluk

Ama en güzelinden aşk

Rengine dönüşür.

Ve ne renk olursa olsun gözüm

Senin yüreğinle gördüğündür (g)özüm...

Ve adam usulca gözlerinden öptü kadını...

Jean Francois Maurice - Aranjuez Mon Amour...

DUCKS FLY TOGETHER!

Calling all non-cake-eaters... As somebody that actually has the Mighty Ducks logo tattooed on his leg and has spent countless hours with this trilogy through childhood, as well as adulthood I might add, this is something I felt compelled to blog!

To celebrate the Ducks’ 30th anniversary this year, as well as the legacy of what is hockey movie royalty, NHL 23 will feature a variety of skates, jerseys, and an ICON choice pack, all of Mighty Ducks theme!

I sense a Flying V coming on...

You can even play in a Hawks jersey if you’re some kind of sadist... Adam Banks saw the light and you can too. Nobody’s got time for Coach Reilly and his “win at any cost” ways.

“A team isn’t a bunch of kids out to win; a team is something you belong to, something you feel, something you have to earn.”

Coach Bombay knows.

“And when the wind blows hard and the sky is black - DUCKS FLY TOGETHER!”

I’ve taken the full list of items included has been taken from the trailer bio and dropped below:

Available in-game November 1, 2022 will be a World of Chel (WOC) Mighty Ducks Jersey, WOC Hawks Jersey, WOC Mighty Ducks Ultraboost Skates, WOC Hawks Ultraboost skates, Hockey Ultimate Team (HUT) Mighty Ducks Jersey, and HUT Hawks Jersey. A Ducks ICON Choice Pack (1 of 6) including players Andy McDonald, Teemu Selanne, Francois Beauchemin, Saku Koivu, Scott Niedermayer, and Jean Sebastien Giguere.

Catch you on the ice...

HANGING OUT AT SMALL’S LIVE #13: 1-4 JUNE 2022

PIANO TRIOS AT MEZZROW’S, MOSTLY SET 2s ALMOST COUCH TOUR

ADAM BIRNBAUM with David Wong and Al Foster, 14 MAY 2022

NITAI HERSHKOVITZ with Matt Penman and Ari Hoenig, 11 MAY 2022

COUCH TOUR: DONALD VEGA with David Wong and Billy Drummond, 3 JUNE 2022, Set 1

SULLIVAN FORTNER with Tyrone Allen and Kayvon Gordon, 26 MAY 2022

There is, I must admit, a way in which the possibilities for these souvenirs in writing shape my choices of the experiences I write about. But it’s not unusual for me to get on a piano/bass/drums jag nor is it unusual for Mezzrow’s in particular to offer this format. So I started with wanting to see the rest of the gigs from ADAM BIRNBAUM and NITAI HERSHKOVITZ to check out my first impressions that drummers Al Foster and Ari Hoenig were pretty special. They were indeed in their separate ways. David Wong and Matt Penman were steady and sympathetic and then Wong was especially wonderful with DONALD VEGA. And Billy Drummond is no slouch. Then it felt like time to give SULLIVAN FORTNER another chance with an upcoming rhythm section, one that has connected Nicole Glover.

It’s been a nice run and there are many ways to parse them. But, whatever slight artificiality in source material, my job as a writer is to make it cohere in a reasonably organic way.

ADAM BIRNBAUM’s first set had relied on interesting originals that showcased his understated touch and musical conception while giving his rhythm section serious work. It was Al Foster who, while always in the service of the music, commanded my attention. Very smooth, he nonetheless found ways to create and solive complex rhythmic puzzles. David Wong was just so steady and solid that it took his set with DONALD VEGA for a full appreciation of what a rock he is, spare, melodic, and never that far up the neck. But this second Birnbaum set was even more appealing as he leaned into fine compositions—Benny Golson’s, Kenny Barron’s (a mentor!, he said), and Monk—and standards Just In Time and a sublime Every Time We Say Goodbye. They seemed to give the leader more space and confidence. His closing original had an easy groove. Again, Foster couldn’t help but play a complex rhythmic chess game with himself, moving time but also the tones of the cymbals.

Ari Hoenig with his former bandmate NITAI HERSHKOVITZ also plays complexly. He’s not as smooth as Foster and his quirks and eccentricities are part of his charm, but he seems to be very much a trio drummer. I met him first with Jean-Michel Pilc who has power galore and Hoenig, with Francois Moutin pulling his own weight too, can go toe to toe with the pianist. His current pianist Gadi Lehavi is a more restrained pianist like Hershkovitz, so Hoenig adjusts deftly while encouraging mischief to go with the gentleness. Now Ornette’s Blues Connotation to open wasn’t exactly gentle and it had angles for Hoenig. The follow Work by Monk had its own tangents but the melody was abstracted though the feel was there. Perhaps the next one was an Ellington (at least that’s what it sounded like he said), but all I recognized was an etude like quality and that kind of sophistication. The next two were quieter conversations, elegant and meaty. The closer developed a groove. I seem to very intrigued by Hoenig and have him with Pilc and Moutin at the end of the week. I’m sure I’ll see a set or two (out of four)in , but I may create an artificial essay and listen to and write about the full run together after it hits the archive.

DONALD VEGA was strong and the most straight ahead of this run. But he had some nice originals and some clever choices including a George Shearing and a tune from Willy Wonka. He opened with Ron Carter’s bouncy Einbahnstrasse in tribute to his employer in the Golden Striker Trio also with Russell Malone. It set a fine tone for Wong in particular to be unflappably steady. It wasn’t seemingly flashy with no show off runs or up the neck, but it was all solid, rich, and melodic whether in accompaniment or solo. Billy Drummond was well in sync too, letting Vega find space. It was a strong enough set, but I didn’t find it at the Friday/Saturday two night run level.

SULLIVAN FORTNER is loose and clever to the point that he sometimes annoys me. He knows so much and has technique galore, so it is easy for him to be satisfied with clever instead of working to be smart. But this was a solid set. The announced tunes were, about 2/3s of the way into it, You Don’t Know What Love Is and a Birth of the Cool tune, Deception, done not reverently. It’s a good tune to be sure and could stand being refracted and explored. There was more than a tease of a Monk tune as the set wound down and Fortner picked up many shiny balls. But there was bebop, some virtuosic European tradition works, other show tunes. Tyrone Allen and Kayvon Gordon found ways to keep up with their leader and create contexts that lent his flights of fancy coherence. I need to think through their work with Nicole Glover as, with her, they give her and the music as a whole more space to breath. The last time I saw the three of them, I held the rhythm section rather too responsible for not constraining Fortner. But this was a more appealing set—or it was just like last time but it struck me as more successful, more like Sean Mason who also brings much intelligence to the band stand.

But it all made for a nice run during my work week to hear much smart music.
