What are you listening to Part the Third
Yasuhiro Kohno Trio + One - Song of Island A private press rarity that few know of, ‘Song of Island’ was the third album from pianist Yasuhiro Kohno’s trio, recorded live at the jazz club and live house (gig venue) ‘Again’ in August 1985. Pressed up in small numbers, ‘Song for Island’ was issued on the private ASCAP Records, set up by pianist and band leader Yasuhiro Kohno. The album is a follow up to Kohno-san’s previous two albums, ‘Peace’ and ‘Roma in the Rain’, released on the cult Aketa’s Disk label. However, unlike the ‘Peace’ and ‘Roma in the Rain’ albums, ‘Song of Island’ has never been reissued before – until now.The title track was included on J Jazz volume 3. This is a very special album that captures a special time in Japanese jazz, when exemplary acoustic jazz was still being performed and recorded by dedicated and talented artists at the height of mid-80s synth pop. ‘Song of Island’ features four original compositions by Yasuhiro Kohno plus a distinctive take on a jazz standard. PERSONNEL: Yasuhiro Kohno - (piano) Masahiro Kanno - (vibes) Tsutomu Numakami - (bass) Hironobu Fujisawa - (drums) Recorded live on August 28th and 29th 1985 at "Live House Again"

RIP Gina Lollobrigida. She died today at 95. One of the very few icons from the golden era of cinema that were left.

What TV show are you watching now?
I'm two chapters away from finishing this second season. I'm finding it less histrionic than the first one, and more Shakespearean and subtle. All I know is that someone is going to die

And now what did you do TODAY?
According to best science available nowadays, the most effective single treatment for sinusitis is local steroids (Fluticasone is as good as any other). The relevant issue is getting the product where it is most needed and in the proper doses. We need to make sure that the sprayed aerosol goes to the middle meatus, which means pointing the tip of the cannula into the nose towards the inner part of the eye, right where is the ethmoidal sinus and the drainage areas of the frontal and maxillary ones. It's advised to use your right hand to spray the left nostril and the left hand for the right nostril, this way it's easier to control the direction of the cannula. Logically one should do a thorough cleaning with serum or boiled water with salt at some pressure before the Fluticasone spraying. I always advise Rhinodouche for the great design of the soft bottle, it produces a large flow of liquid and you can precisely control the pressure to your needs. Like Dusty says, you need the pressure level that you can tolerate without irritating the nasal mucosa: In a case like yours I'd use 5-8 serum cleaning sessions per day, two of them right before the Fluticasone, which I'd spray twice in every nostril, every 12 hours. Trimetoprim/Sulfametoxazol is OK, as good as any other until you get some bacterial growth and antibiogram performed if that were necessary.

None of those is an antibiotic, all together would help to produce less mucus and lower inflammation, but the mucus cleaning is very important. In a few days you'll be noticing the relief. Fluticasona is administered as spray or in drops?

Fred Hersch and Esperanza Spalding - Alive at the Village Vanguard First jazz release in 2023 that I've listened to. If this is just a starter, this year is going to have awesome jazz.
-
And now what did you do TODAY?
It's helping, it just that it is not enough, but keep doing it in addition to the antibiotics, steroids and all the weaponry.

And now what did you do TODAY?
No nasal cleaning by flow?

What TV show are you watching now?
I've watched this one too. Plenty of weak links, but entertaining nonetheless. I think it would have worked better as a movie.

I guess 15 years in a romanian prison is a worse punishment than death to the burning pyre.

RIP O Rei. One of the very best. It's a pity that most of you americans don't enjoy true football, we'd have something more in common.

IMHO and for my taste, this is a more interesting evolution of jazz
-
What are you listening to Part the Third
Well, I think it's not just because it's sampling a sax, but the sax is played fiercely and dissonantly

Vadim Neselovskyi - Odesa Another jazz album that made the top 2022 lists and that I hadn't listened to. To me a lot more enjoyable than TCIC's one. This one is not classic jazz by any means, it's rather lyrical and has very interesting moments. The pianist is virtuosoborderline.
