Packing up Dad’s stuff today. He did a lot of the work for me already – he was very organized. A touch of OCD. Albums arranged alphabetically by title and type of music. Letters in folders according to who wrote them. Everything clearly labeled.

I only had one “incident” in the last 2 weeks where I felt dad’s presence. I was supposed to get up early & send invites about the zoom concert in his honor. At 7:45 AM there was sharp sero s of raps on the wall above my bed. Sounded like it was coming from inside the wall. 1/2

Liz was in the living room at the time. It definitely didn’t come from outside. It sounded like the way a dad would wake somebody up when he was annoyed. I think he *was* annoyed, he was probably playing with Charles Mingus and had to interrupt himself. 2/2

This is approximately 1/5 of dad‘s record & CD collection, dating back to 1957, when he started buying records. Dude kept everything.pic.twitter.com/QvBf06wpv6

Here’s a little bit a video of dad‘s regular bass player, Jonathan Fisher, going over his scores. We are trying to organize them so that we can release them on the Internet to anybody who wants to play them.pic.twitter.com/lTJvjqwIbi

Dad made recordings of a lot of live jazz performances dating back to the 1970s — other people’s as well as his own. I have not begun to properly dig through these treasures. But I did want to share my favorite find.pic.twitter.com/lwhD11ny1E

Yesterday I found the stopwatch that my dad carried with him when he was a jingle composer working for a local studio in the 1970s and 80s. Definitely keeping this one.pic.twitter.com/UMyHojXKVg

Liz just gave me dad‘s leather jacket. He’s had this since at least the early 80s.pic.twitter.com/N4tRYhxezl
