With billows and blasts from choirs and orchesters
Buskers and talkers
Big bands and squawkers,
the Stork Club has retained its qualities of decaying elegance and dwindling significance since the late 1950s.

March 26, 2023: My Other Axe is a Flute
Today is birthday number 98 for James Moody - he'll be wafting heavenly tunes from his horns/flutes from upon whichever cloud he reclines….
AND: 83-year old Lew Tabackin (still with us, say hallelujah!), is husband and musical partner of the wonderful pianist Toshiko Akiyoshi. Both these guys - though stylistically far apart - call the tenor sax and flute their chief instruments.

' James Moody (March 26, 1925 – December 9, 2010) was an American jazz saxophone and flute player and very occasional vocalist, playing predominantly in the bebop and hard bop styles.
Moody had an unexpected hit with "Moody's Mood for Love," a 1952 song written by Eddie Jefferson that used as its melody an improvised solo that Moody had played on a 1949 recording of "I'm in the Mood for Love." Moody adopted the song as his own, recording it with Jefferson on his 1956 album Moody's Mood for Love and performing the song regularly in concert, often singing the vocals himself. '
⦿Sun in ♈︎Aries, Year of Metal 🐉Dragon
' Lewis Barry Tabackin (born March 26, 1940) is an American jazz tenor saxophonist and flutist. He is married to pianist Toshiko Akiyoshi with whom he has co-led large ensembles since the 1970s
...Critic Scott Yanow describes Tabackin as "one of the few jazz musicians who has been able to develop completely different musical personalities on two instruments", with his forceful hard bop style on sax contrasting with his delicate flute playing. '
