LJ: Weekly Calendar 5.1-7

4/30/2023

Discovery: Shana Tucker isn’t Johnny Hartman singing with John Coltrane, but Johnny Hartman wouldn’t have sung like Shana T did last night at Sharp Nine honoring Coltrane-Hartman. Had it been recorded it would’ve been titled “Finucane-Tucker.”

This Week: A week like all weeks these days, gratefully…

Discovery: I again found it difficult to get into NCCU's New Student Center to listen to jazz. Though I get around ok, my neuropathy affects my balance so I try to avoid long walks. Tonight I tried to enter the street north of the Student Center main entrance, but, like many along that part of Fayetteville St, it was blocked by barriers. So I had to use a handicapped spot on the east side of the Center, from which it's better to walk 200 feet or so uphill than to walk much farther around to the main entrance. As before, I found the back door closed (probably for security reasons). It's supposed to be automatic but has nothing to push for opening. So you have to bang on the door to see if anyone's close enough to open it for you. Is this any way to treat folks with any sort of handicap who want to attend some good music?
