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.

2 guitars IS much of Rock and Roll, of course, but jazz groups, not so much. Even piano and guitar together in a group is not so common. I think 2 chording instruments, with all the voicing and substitution chords options available in jazz, risk the players clashing with each other.

@doctorjazz Right? I want to hear more guitar-trombone duets. I wonder if there are any.
Here's an instant theory on jazz guitar tone-lock (vs tone loc): when the guitar graduated from strummed rhythm to a soloing instrument, a player would present a characteristic tone or voice, because that's what horn players did, going all the way back to the beginning. Kind of embochure by analogy.

Speaking of medieval music, now is the time of year I advocate for Christmas music, *real* Christmas music. You know, Bach, Guaraldi, etc. But the very best Christmas ditty, as I've noted many times before on these comment boards, is "Plebs domini" as performed on their Aquitania album by Sequentia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4CrVF11CJE

@Adamdoesit-News for Lulu, while it's a trio (trombone/alto sax/guitar), has a similar vibe.

Truly, Irene, Sequentia are impeccable, and that tune manages to do in six and a half minutes what it took Pink Floyd two LP sides of DSOTM to accomplish. Starkness gives way to a monumental wall of devotional harmony. It is exclusively the men's ensemble, which is too bad, because the women's and the mixed vocal groups--as with the two traversals of Hildegard's Ordo Virtutum--are at least as good.

How bout that, Dean? I was thinking of putting those two pieces together, but then thought I would spread em out, see if anyone noticed. Nah, I sez to myself, not counting on ... Dean.

In fact, Ry Cooder broke out c/o Water Lily Acoustics. Remember A Meeting by the River? He also did at least one other with a group featuring David Hidalgo of Los Lobos.

Another story I've told and retold in these parts: I resided for decades in Southern California, eastern end of LA County. A neighborhood not too far from home in the cities of Artesia and Cerritos was known as Little India. I spent quality time there, e.g., I found in about two minutes a Nikhil Banerjee record I'd sought for years elsewhere. One afternoon, I took myself to lunch at a vegetarian Indian restaurant in Cerritos. The PA produced a familiar sound, though not a tune I recognized. I mentioned to the proprietor that it sounded like the work of Kavi Alexander. He replied that indeed Kavi had visited the restaurant the day before and left a copy of his upcoming release!

I remember there was a cookbook for truckers, recipes that involved putting ingredients in aluminum foil, then putting them on the truck engine block for a proscribed amount of time, then ready to eat at a rest stop.

It's easy to cook in a small car, northguineahills, if you adjust your expectations. You may not be able to fit a pot of stew, but it's easy to heat up four bangers.

The obvious one to which I hinted above, adamdoesit: Why do folks prefer cooking in cars with automatic rather than manual transmission? Non-stick. Also, there's a carb joke waiting to be formulated.
