The later Coltrane an antecedent to hip hop? The mountain labored mightily and gave birth to . . . a mouse.

My daughter, I am pleased to say, has largely given up on rap and hip hop and is turning it in for Stephen Sondheim. She's a drama major at the Chicago Academy for the Arts, and has spent the last week listening to Into The Woods over and over agin. She's studying No One Is Alone for her voice classes.

I know that I sound like my parents did about my music, but nonetheless, I confess, I mainly listen to what they listened to growing up, with a healthy leaven of Dylan, the Blues, and the like.

Yours in primitive reaction,

Ellington and Sinatra forever
