And I have not even begun to explore the far reaches. But I've left some of my favorites at the bottom of the post (unfortunately, whenever I try to put text in between videos, the formatting gets screwed up).
I chose my 'jazziest' watch for today: The highly angular and uniquely textured Seiko King Quartz 0853-8025:

. . . along with the watch (or watches) we're wearing today. Jazz is an acquired taste for me; I grew up listening to rock, folk, bluegrass, and country. But when I entered my thirties, the allure of jazz beckoned. Managed to see several greats before the...
. . . in '87. Here's video of the happiest man in jazz . . . . . . the following year. On my wrist at the moment? A '53 Omega ref 2608. What are you wearing, and who are you listening to? Dig it, Daddy-O's! 🎷 ...

. . . I've seen perform live: Miles Davis (in his last public performance ever), Sarah Vaughn (twice!), and Stan Getz. It's going to be a V weekend here, Abel. Drove to Newport Beach Friday for the Watchtime event; there will be a brief report on our Omeg...

being highly musically educated, I must admit to only ever listening and liking a few of the Jazz music greats.... So my contribution here is going to be a somewhat alternative Jazz (Fusion) musician - Mr. Jan Hammer . Easily in the top 3 favorite modern ...

. . . with their policy. (They'd fallen behind on their payments and had either been cancelled or were in danger of losing their coverage.) After getting them back on track, he said, "Let me know if there's anything I can do for you." To which I replied, ...
It's a big reason why I am so fascinated by early quartz watches. Modern marketing suggests that quartz is cheap and disposable, but back in those days, it was the premium option. And that was reflected in the quality of the cases and dials they used on q...
...deeply rooted in American history. As a musician, you need natural talent and deep emotional expression. Exploration in not only your own limits but also the limits of the instrument . True brilliance is a freeform musical discussion. It's not always a...
. . . to which I replied in part saying I'd been deeply impressed by a Bahamian percussionist's solo during a Lionel Hampton concert. pplater's response was that the percussionist was likely King Errisson, who played the memorable tom-tom scene in Thunder...
It is so nice, it is so nice. While i now listening to pop music. A song from George Michael, actually it is a 80ties radio station. Much Spandau Ballet. Hey, now a song from the Dire Straights - The walk of life from the legendary Brothers in Arms album....
if…… you grew up as a satisfied Casionado like me. Jazz masters, for me Paolo Conte and Tom Brown. Brubeck trio with take 5 is a real classic. Yes, Rock is more easy. Even classic music is easier. Jazz is a hot potato, a yellow dog. My favorite artists ar...
Laura Fygi (Laura Ingrid Thérèse Fijgi) is one of my favorite female jazz singers. A jazzdiva in her native Holland, but nearly unknown in the rest of the world. Laura was born in Amsterdam, but grew up in Montevideo in Uruguay. In the mid 80's she sang i...
Here's my contribution, Van Morrison's live performance of Tupelo Honey. Watch out for Pee Wee Ellis' amazing tenor saxophone solo! Oh yeah, the watch- a longines with a lot of patina: ...
Hello dear Art and friends ! I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend and having some fun. As I’m by the sea this weekend it’s all dive watches ! Some of the music I’m enjoying this weekend includes my contemporary Jazz favourites including… Roy Ayres.., h...
You got a pair of wonderfully appropriate watches for the occasion. Are you doing some scuba activity there? Nice musical pieces you are sharing here Captain!! Keep enjoying your weekend so much! Cheers! Abel
I would love to get some dives in but this vacation is all about sailing, exploring small coves and relaxing on some quiet beaches. The true essence of life ! Snorkelling gear should do the trick but you never know 😉 I hope you enjoy your weekend. Best re...
… I’m sure you are enjoying it so much. Yes, having a basic snorkeling gear at hand would be very nice indeed. Keep enjoying!! We are having a nice weekend near the sea too. In a city some four hundred kilometers south of Buenos Aires. Always so lovely to...
… place by the sea. Very popular. On its origins at ends of XIX Century it was called the Argentine Deauville. Lots of charm and sophistication till the first three decades of XX Century. So far from that era of splendor today but a nice place anyway. The...
. . . until now. Thanks for cluing me in, Cap. Porter's smooth . . . much to my liking. Btw, I saw a California vanity license plate last week that made me laugh: HEY XIX
One of my all time favorites. Apologies for the gritty watch. I had taken my 7 year old on his first fishing trip. With all that sun in my eyes and the blissful atmosphere I just had to get a wrist shot of this beloved old companion. ...

. . . is Jeff Lorber Fusion . . . . . . at the Playboy Jazz Festival in '87. Stan Getz, Sarah Vaughn, Joe Williams, Count Basie, and the Charlie Watts Orchestra were on the same bill.
Jazz is the kind of music I have had grave difficulty listening to and enjoying over the last years - small kids and constant interruptions not exactly being conducive to it 🤷🏻♂️ But as it so happens I started listening to the first jazz album I ever got...
… dedicate to children! I understand you so well! Great Laine you share! The Breguet numerals and frosted dial surface adds charm to this beautiful watch! Hagwe! Abel

in the City Cinema. Lex was first trumpetist in the Auschwitz camp orchestra, and survived the war by playing a cornet. I met him in the hospital in 1995, where I worked as a young doctor, and he gave me some lessons. Via Lex I got to know the famous Harr...
