• Time Fold,
  continued

  From Matt Glaser, Satchmo, the Philosopher:
  
  “… the luminosity and perpetual freshness of Armstrong’s music. These
  qualities, as well as his essentially abstract ability to affect our
  perception of time, link him with the other artistic and scientific
  revolutionaries of the first half of the 20th century. Recently I had a
  very public fantasy (in Ken Burns’s Jazz) in which Werner
  Heisenberg attends a Louis Armstrong concert in Copenhagen, in 1933.
  Did I go too far? Actually, I didn’t go far enough.”

  Part of Serge Lang‘s legacy:
  the dates of his birth and death–
  May 19 and Sept. 12.

  That Log24 entries connect both these dates to Louis Armstrong is, of course, purely coincidental.
