Rhythm & Rhetoric

Dear all,

this week I’d like to present you with a blend of clever commentary and vibrant jazz!

Worth Reading

“Think before you speak. Read before you think.”
“Life is something that happens when you can't get to sleep.”
“As a teenager you are at the last stage in your life when you will be happy to hear that the phone is for you.”

If these quotes speak as much to you as they do to me, I highly recommend exploring Fran Lebowitz’s books, columns and interviews. I’m currently doing a deep dive myself, and it’s highly entertaining!

Worth Watching

If you’re less of a reader and still want to experience Fran Lebowitz, Martin Scorsese has your back: watch his great 7-episode-documentary called Pretend It’s A City.

Worth Listening To

Staying in New York, I’d like to invite you to listen to Friedrich Gulda’s 1957 jazz debut At Birdland on Apple Music or Spotify.

All my best -
David
