#five spot

It's time for a rockrose. Pink fivespot is her name, and poker is her game. But when she cheats, she loses, because she's only got 5's up her sleeves.

Lester Young outside the Five Spot Jazz Club, the Bowery, 1958.

The first jazz musician I ever photographed, Lester Young performing at The Five Spot Café, on the Bowery, 1958. Now here was a quiet soul, someone who let his music speak for him. I took this shot outside before the show, Lester being greeted by an unknown admirer or so I believe. I've never been able to identify this person. The famous pork pie hat at a slight—and cool—angle.

We did it! That's a Five Spot! That's a Five Spot flower in the yard where there were none before. The Baby Blue Eyes in the back yard might have been there before but these are definitely new.

Poet Billy Collins on Rahsaan Roland Kirk

In this JazzWax post, Marc Myers passes along this poem and commentary by Billy Collins, onetime Poet Laureate of the United States, pondering his 1964 Five Spot encounter with the marvel that was Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Don't pass by the 1964 clip of Rahsaan Roland Kirk at the foot of the post.
