Notably: It’s Clint Eastwood’s birthday. He’s 93. But it looks like he’s been slacking off. It’s bene two years since his last film (Cry macho). Googling brings this up from a gossip sheet known as Metro: “The 92-year-old actor and filmmaker was last spotted out and about over a year ago, leading those close to him to be concerned over his health. He will celebrate his 93rd birthday later this month and is expected to begin shooting a thriller named Juror No 2. as his last film, rounding off his celebrated career.” No word on whether “Juror No. 2” is about the juror hold-out in the Teron case that grimed up the week leading up to Memorial Day.

“You can’t learn to imitate everyone else without a real deficit. I’ve never heard anything Wynton played sound like it meant anything at all. Wynton [Marsalis] has no voice and no presence. His music sounds like a talented high-school trumpet player to me. He plays things really, really, really badly that you cannot screw up unless you are a bad player. I’ve felt embarrassed listening to him, and I’m white. Behind his humble speech, there is an incredible arrogance. And for a great black player who talks about the blues — I’ve never heard Wynton play the blues convincingly, and I’d challenge him to a blues standoff any time. He’s jazzy the same way someone who drives a BMW is sporty.”
–Keith Jarrett quoted in Andrew Solomon’s profile of Jarrett, “The Jazz Martyr,” New York Times Magazine, Feb. 9, 1997.
