Gordon Davis, the lawyer and parks commissioner who was the founding chairman of Jazz at Lincoln Center, has died at eighty five. Today's record is the Branford Marsalis Quartet and Dianne Reeves on "Dedicated To You," and The Bridge goes to Los Angeles in 1946. | The Lead: Gordon Davis, the lawyer and parks commissioner who was the founding chairman of Jazz at Lincoln Center, has died at eighty five of complications of emphysema, and his firm's own biography of him reads as a list of buildings he helped get built. Listen to This: Blue Note's "Dedicated To You" puts the Branford Marsalis Quartet and Dianne Reeves on six standards from the 1963 Impulse album "John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman," with the label's three October Tone Poet reissues folded in. The Bridge: Los Angeles, 1946. Charlie Parker records four tracks he can barely play, and the label puts one of them out anyway. On the Road: Tonight's ticket is Marcus Gilmore's New Orchestra at the Village Vanguard, with Rudy's Jazz Room in Nashville, Preservation Hall in New Orleans, Jazz Alley in Seattle and Yoshi's in Oakland in the sweep. One More Note: On October 7, 1940, Artie Shaw's orchestra cut five sides for Victor in Hollywood, and one of them is the "Star dust" most people have in their heads. | The Daily Quintet is an AI-crafted production, researched and checked by humans. Every listing you hear came from the venue or the festival's own organizer.
