Fireworks Show

Joel Miller x f!reader

Summary: You and Joel watch fireworks together on the 4th of July.

Notes: (18+ blog) This is fluff with some spicy flirting. Allusions to smut. Established relationship. No outbreak. No mention of age. No mention of body type. Use of honey, darlin', baby, sweetheart.

Word Count: 643

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You and Joel sit in companionable silence while you and the other twenty thousand plus people in the baseball stadium wait for the 4th of July fireworks show to start.

The sun had been relentless throughout the game, your skin stuck to the seats and there were way too many people around for your and Joel's liking. But night fell, the breeze blew in, and the baseball game came to an exciting end.

You two would normally be at home on the 4th of July, either watching a special on TV or barbecuing with family and friends. You were content with nights like that, but when your friend offered you her tickets, for free, after her husband came down with the flu, you couldn't refuse a night out.

The crowd starts to cheer as the stadium lights begin to shut off one by one. You turn in your seat, giddy as a child, and squeeze Joel's arm.

He sits up straighter and smiles fondly at you, "Here we go, baby." he says as he rests his arm around your shoulders.

The beginning lines of Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A." start to play as the first firework shoots in the air. Cascades of Red, White and Blue light scatter through the sky. The colors reflect on your laughing faces as the first few blasts startle you. Joel tightens his arm around your shoulder and leans in, "Scared ya, honey?"

You teasingly scrunch your nose at him, "Hush."

Several more fireworks explode above you, gaining your attention.

Joel watches how the changing colors flash over your face as you marvel at the view above.

You pat him on the thigh a few times when you notice him watching you, "You're missing the show."

He shakes his head. "I ain't missin' anything." He captures your lips in a long, slow kiss, drowning out the noise around you.

You sigh, and reluctantly pull away, "Damn it, Joel."

He smiles, eyebrows raised, "What?"

"I was so excited for the fireworks, then you go and do that, and now all I want is to keep kissing you."

Joel laughs, "How rude of me."

"Very." You lightly smack his thigh.

He leans in again for a few quick kisses, then after a beat he asks, "You havin' a good time tonight, baby?"

You nod, smiling.

"Good," He kisses your forehead, "me too." then leans back in his seat as more bombs pop off above.

You lay your head against his shoulder and slowly trail your hand up his thigh.

"I know a way we can make the night even better when we get home tonight."

Joel hums, "Is that so?"

You lift your head, fingers tracing circles in the rough denim of his jeans. "Mmhm. And you can be as rude as you want."

Joel adjusts in his seat and clears his throat, "You keep talkin' like that darlin' and I'll have to haul your pretty little ass out to the truck before the fireworks even end."

You lean into his ear, your warm breath fanning over his neck. "Is that a promise?"

Joel eyes you with a quirk in his brow, "You better believe it, sweetheart.", then grabs your hand and stands up, "Let's get a move on."

You can't hide your smile as Joel grips low onto your waist as you two make your way towards the exit, bombs crackling behind you. You pause and take one more glance at the sparkly scene.

Joel squeezes your hip a few times and lightly scrapes his teeth along your earlobe, sending tingles through your body. "Don't worry honey, you're gonna be seein' plenty a' fireworks when I'm through with you."

And boy, do you.

Had to block a guy on tiktok cos he was making a seemingly harmless list of 'top 5 weirdos in football'. And it was all haha erling haaland is like a robot! Wayne Rooney's old tweets! Remember how bad Gareth Bale used to dress! But then one of the 'weird' behaviours was Ryan Giggs beating his wife. Domestic violence is on parr with 'weird' behaviour like Joel Matip's funny expressions. Gylfi Sigurddson being a literal pedo is 'weird behaviour' to them in the same way as Reece James being a bit camp. Mason Greenwood being a violent rapist is the same level for them as haaland being awkward in that yoga video. They don't have a clue and they don't give a shit.

Miles Davis’ ‘Kind of Blue’ is, at 65, a shape-shifting album that transcends time and genre

New Post has been published on https://sa7ab.info/2024/08/06/miles-davis-kind-of-blue-is-at-65-a-shape-shifting-album-that-transcends-time-and-genre/

Miles Davis’ ‘Kind of Blue’ is, at 65, a shape-shifting album that transcends time and genre

From Lana Del Rey, John Legend and Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar to the members of Radiohead and guitar legends Carlos Santana, Duane Allman and Jerry Garcia, the number of musicians who have cited Miles Davis and his landmark 1959 release, “Kind of Blue,” as prime inspirations grows larger by the year. “It’s a pioneering album that was a turning point in jazz and it’s also a great bridge to classical and world music,” said pianist and Pulitzer Prize-winning opera composer Anthony Davis. “I’m not a hardcore jazz fan, but I love ‘Kind of Blue’,” said Melissa Etheridge. “Discussing Miles makes you feel like a dime-store novelist talking about Shakespeare,” Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood said in a 2001 San Diego Union-Tribune interview. “We’ve taken and stolen from him shamelessly, not just musically, but in terms of his attitude of moving things forward.” American jazz trumpeter and composer Miles Davis (1926-1991), sits with his instrument during a studio recording session, October 1959. (Hulton Archive/Getty Images/TNS)  Such sentiments come as no surprise to trumpet dynamo and San Diego Symphony jazz curator Gilbert Castellanos, who on Aug. 17 will lead “Miles Davis: Kind of Blue — In Concert” at the Rady Shell at Jacobs Park. Featuring a talent-packed sextet that includes saxophonist Joel Frahm, pianist Donald Vega and drummer Willie Jones III, it will be the sequel to Castellanos’ sold-out 2018 “Kind of Blue” tribute concert at Jacobs Music Center’s Copley Symphony Hall. “Experiencing ‘Kind of Blue’ is like floating on a cloud in the best dream ever, except that it’s real,” said Castellanos, a veteran local trumpeter and founder of the Young Lions Jazz Conservatory. “You don’t have to be a jazz fan, or know anything about jazz, to love ‘Kind of Blue.’ Anyone can listen to it and really enjoy it. That is why Miles Davis is heavily responsible for turning a lot of people on to jazz.” A lot, indeed. Pink Floyd to Q-Tip Since its release on Aug. 15, 1959, “Kind of Blue” has become the best-selling jazz album of all time — and the most widely acclaimed — embraced equally by jazz and non-jazz artists alike. Both Steely Dan co-founder Donald Fagen and A Tribe Called Quest co-founder Q-Tip have called the album “the bible” for music. Pink Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright cited “Kind of Blue” as a prime influence on the structure and tone of parts of Floyd’s classic 1973 album, “Dark Side of the Moon.” Former Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia was such a big fan that he and mandolinist David Grisman recorded three versions of “Kind of Blue’s” sublime opening number, “So What,” for their joint 1998 album — also titled “So What” — which was released three years after Garcia’s death. Featuring Davis with a peerless lineup of saxophonists John Coltrane and Julian “Cannonball” Adderly, bassist Paul Chambers, drummer Jimmy Cobb and alternating pianists Bill Evans and Wynton Kelly, “Kind of Blue” is like nothing else in jazz, then or now. The album was instrumental in encouraging Coltrane to explore increasingly daring new sonic vistas for the remainder of his career. Clocking it at 46 minutes, “Kind of Blue” works equally well as the sole focus for contemplative listening, a plush aural cushion for a lunch or dinner — foreground or background — and just about anything in between. “The beauty of ‘Kind of Blue’ is that it is this incredible doorway and invitation for anyone to come in and explore this music. But even if you don’t go any further, you will still have a wonderful experience,” said jazz scholar Ashley Kahn, the author of the best-selling 2000 book, “Kind of Blue: The Making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece.” Kahn has also written two books about saxophone giant Coltrane, one of the key players on “Kind of Blue.” The New Jersey-based Kahn is quick to cite the album as a definitive masterpiece. “It features an unbelievable, once-in-a-lifetime aggregation of such immortal players and such distinctive songs.” he said. “Every time they touched their instruments to solo on ‘Kind of Blue,’ what resulted was timeless. The album transcended its time and its genre.” Recorded in just nine hours on March 2 and April 22, 1959, “Kind of Blue” boasts five indelible songs that, to this day, are performed by jazz ensembles around the world — “So What,” “Freddie Freeloader,” “Blue in Green,” “All Blues” and “Flamenco Sketches.” It is an album on which nuance, beauty and impeccably calibrated group improvisations trump the high-octane virtuosity and velocity that came to the fore with the bebop revolution that dominated jazz from the early 1940s to at least the mid-1950s. Gorgeous, unhurried melodies abound on “Kind of Blue,” which does not have a single up-tempo song. Conventional chord sequences and harmonies are put aside in favor of a modal approach that — much like the ragas that are foundational in the classical music of India — focus on scales, or modes, specifically the eight notes that go from one octave to the next. Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Anthony Davis teaches a course at UC San Diego that focuses on the five most pivotal jazz albums released in 1959, including Miles Davis’ “Kind of Blue.” (Nelvin C. Cepeda / The San Diego Union-Tribune)  ‘Incredibly lyrical’ Davis was introduced to the concept by noted composer and musical theorist George Russell, who spent much of the 1950s quietly exploring the possibilities of a modal jazz approach. It was a game-changing innovation that other artists had delved into. But they had done so only briefly and tentatively, let alone on an epic, game-changing album like “Kind of Blue.” “When you go this way, you can go on forever,” Davis told music critic Nat Hentoff in 1958. “You don’t have to worry about (chord) changes, and you can do more with time (signatures). It becomes a challenge to see how melodically inventive you are. … I think a movement in jazz is beginning, away from the conventional string of chords and a return to emphasis on melodic rather than harmonic variations. There will be fewer chords but infinite possibilities as to what to do with them.” Those infinite possibilities provided a launching pad for “Kind of Blue.” But rather than meander here, there and everywhere, the album is a marvel of seemingly opposite musical values: precision and fluidity; focus and surprise; risk and a shared sense of purpose. Accordingly, much of “Kind of Blue” was created spontaneously as it was being recorded, with Davis providing only bare sketches and ideas of what he wanted his musicians to do. Almost all the selections on the “Kind of Blue” are first-take recordings, the better to achieve Davis’ goal of having his band members focus on the deeply felt emotions of the songs rather than over-thinking them. “It was primarily a one-take which reflects ‘the first thought is the best thought’ aesthetic that comes out of jazz but is really a classic Miles-ian thing,” said author Kahn. “There’s a perfect storm quality to the album: Miles in his prime with a great, once-in-a-lifetime band; first-rate audio engineers; a terrific record label, Columbia, that treated all musicians in all genres equally well and launched ‘Lind of Blue’ into the world. Within two to three years, it was already the best-selling album in jazz, and — a few years after that — was influencing everyone from (pioneering minimalist composer La Monte Young to the Allman Brothers and, of course, many, many jazz artists.” Had author Aldous Huxley’s 1954 book not been titled “The Doors of Perception,” it might have made a good subtitle for what remains to this day Davis’ most widely embraced and acclaimed recording. “The modal music on ‘Kind of Blue’ opened up a whole world of engagement,” said Pulitzer Prize-winning opera composer Anthony Davis. An accomplished jazz pianist, he teaches a course at UC San Diego that focuses on “Kind of Blue” and four other standout jazz albums released in 1959. He is not related to Miles Davis, who died in 1991 at the age of 65. ” ‘Kind of Blue’ not only looks beyond diatonic harmonies,” Anthony Davis said, “but also to world music and to classical music, especially the compositions of Debussy and Ravel, who were a major influence on the album. Ravel’s Piano Concerto for the Left Hand provided some of the inspiration for ‘All Blues’ on ‘Kind of Blue.’ “Plus, the album is incredibly lyrical. Miles’ playing is just so pristine and the solos are so memorable. So is the contrast between the playing of Coltrane and Cannonball, and Bill Evans and Wynton Kelly, whose solos I transcribed a lot when I was a student at Yale. The cyclical 10-bar structure on ‘Blue in Green’ is very innovative. And the album is incredibly lyrical and speaks in a very clear way.” That clarity and lyricism also had a profound influence on 1970’s “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed,” one of the most beloved songs by The Allman Brothers Band. Its graceful, spiraling melodies, uncluttered rhythms and deeply felt solos owe a major debt to “Kind of Blue,” as guitarist Duane Allman acknowledged at the time to Rolling Stone writer Robert Palmer. “You know, that kind of playing comes from Miles and Coltrane, and particularly ‘Kind Of Blue’,” Allman said. “I’ve listened to that album so many times that for the past couple of years, I haven’t hardly listened to anything else.” For trumpeter Castellanos, hearing “Kind of Blue” for the first time as an eighth-grade student in Fresno was life-changing. “It was so inspiring and it really knocked my socks off!” he recalled. “I remember going home from school that day and trying to figure out how Miles got that muted sound, I had the same trumpet mute, but couldn’t figure out what he was doing make it sound so warm and beautiful. “The trumpeters I’d been listening to then, like Freddie Hubbard and Maynard Ferguson, were all about playing fast and loud. And then, with ‘Kind of Blue,��� I heard the exact opposite of that. Miles’ playing had the quality of a human voice whispering to you. That changed my whole approach to the trumpet, and that was the hardest thing to learn. Even at the age I am now, in my early 50s, it’s difficult to make the trumpet sound so warm and pretty.” Given how familiar many Davis fans are with literally every note on “Kind of Blue,” including all the solos, performing it here live on stage raises intriguing questions. Will Castellanos and his band mates reverently play the music, note for note, at their Aug. 17 Shell concert? (The first half will feature other selections from Davis’ expansive repertoire.) Will they take liberties to extend the album in real time, using the recorded version as a launching pad? Or will they combine both approaches in a way that is respectful of “Kind of Blue,” but not beholden to it? Or is it a sacrilege to change the music in any way? “It is absolutely not a sacrilege if we don’t play it note for note,” Castellanos replied. “Of course, we will play the melodies absolutely like they are on the album, with a frontline of two saxophones and trumpet. But what I’m really looking forward to is how these phenomenal musicians approach ‘Kind of Blue’ from their own perspectives as they improvise over the beautiful melodies. “I have four copies of the album including a rare, original first-pressing in mono. For me, ‘Kind of Blue’ could be the soundtrack to anyone’s life.” Singing Miles Davis’ praises Many musicians have happily cited Miles Davis as a major inspiration in interviews over the years with the San Diego Union-Tribune. Here are some of their comments. David Bowie: “Miles genuinely did more than anyone to create what avenues you can dare to walk in music. He made extraordinary breakthroughs.” Lenny Kravitz: “People talk about what’s new in music, and about taking it really far out. And I’m like: ‘Man, I haven’t heard anybody take it further out than Miles, and that was years ago.’ “ Keyboard legend Chick Corea: “The best lesson Miles gave all of us was his total artistic integrity. Anything he wanted to do, musically, and give to an audience, he would not water it down one inch. He wouldn’t let pressures from the world around him change anything he was doing. And he changed the world.” Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron: “In every kind of creative musical endeavor, you want to be fearless. And that’s what Miles instilled in me — the fact that you can be as fearless as you’re able to be. I’ve been directly inspired and influenced by him.” Bass great Dave Holland: “Having the chance to play with Miles was like getting a call from Duke Ellington or Louis Armstrong. He was always his own person, and not afraid to take a stand when he wanted to. He would always take a new path and see where it would take him. Miles was always developing and making it new, every night.” Singer-songwriter David Gray: “Miles was a brilliant catalyst who grew music around him, and he was so sophisticated and ahead of his time. He created this space where strange but beautiful flowers bloomed. And as a band leader, he’s one of the greats of the 20th century. He expanded the world of music countless times, and now we take it all for granted.”

Leeds United: Meslier, Ayling (Cresswell 90), Ampadu, Piroe (Gyabi 90) Rodon, Struijk, Gray, Sinisterra (Gelhardt 85), Rutter, Byram (Drameh 25, Shackleton 45), Gnonto.

Subs not used: Darlow, Summerville, Greenwood, Hjelde. This was an action packed game against the team that started the day at the top of the league, having won their first three matches. We just about deserved all three points…. The good news for Leeds was that Willy Gnonto and Luis Sinisterra were back in the starting line up after being persuaded to rejoin the first team squad. Striker Joel Piroe also made his Leeds debut less than 48 hours after his transfer from Swansea City. There were no further departures from Elland Road prior to the game but we still have six players on the injury list: Junior Firpo, Liam Cooper, Stuart Dallas, Dan James, Ian Poveda and Patrick Bamford. Ipswich started on the front foot and Leeds continued our tradition of falling behind in every game - this time after only six minutes. There was an element of luck about the home side's first goal because Kayden Jackson looked offside as he burst into the Leeds box from the left, and his cross was then deflected into the net by Joe Rodon. However, Leeds responded almost immediately…. Three minutes later, Georginio Rutter collected Luke Ayling’s long ball forward, twisted and turned around four Ipswich defenders and scored with an excellent finish. It's taken him a few months to get off the mark for Leeds, but he did so in style. Less than five minutes after that, a superb cross from Sam Byram was converted at the far post by Gnonto. Piroe then scored our third goal from close range, after the Ipswich keeper was unable to hold onto a shot from Sinisterra. There were plenty of other chances at both ends before half time. Byram had to leave the field with an injury and was replaced by Cody Drameh, whose main contribution was to gift Ipswich their second goal, when his underhit back pass to Meslier was intercepted by Jackson and who set up Nathan Broadhead to strike home from the edge of the Leeds penalty area. Drameh was replaced by Jamie Shackleton after the break. Ipswich were on top for most of the second half, but with 15 minutes remaining Leeds scored again, when Shackleton found Sinisterra in space down the left, and he cut inside and beat the goalkeeper with an unstoppable finish. However, Ipswich kept pressing forward and managed to get a consolation goal in the final seconds of added time. The return of Gnonto and Sinisterra made a big difference in this game, but it remains to be seen whether they'll still be Leeds players after transfer deadline day….

Tandis que la spéculation tourbillonne autour de l'avenir de la propriété de Manchester United, une source inattendue du dirigeant de Cardiff City, Mehmet Dalman, a révélé que la valorisation du club est sur le point d'atteindre des sommets étonnants, pouvant atteindre une valorisation de plus de 7 milliards de livres sterling. Cette inflation des chiffres se produit dans un contexte de rumeurs qui s'intensifient autour d'une prise de contrôle du Qatar et de murmures sur l'intention de la famille Glazer de vendre le club. Le président du club de championnat révèle une évaluation de 7 milliards de livres sterling à Manchester United Regardez: Jadon Sancho a une dernière chance de rachat La valorisation monte en flèche tandis que les vitriers se préparent à vendre En novembre 2022, la famille Glazer a mis les rouages ​​en marche en annonçant son exploration d'opportunités d'investissement alternatives, qui comprenait la possibilité de renoncer au contrôle de Manchester United. Cette annonce a déclenché une vague de spéculations, braquant les projecteurs sur les acheteurs potentiels du célèbre club. Parmi les prétendants, le banquier qatari Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani et le milliardaire britannique Sir Jim Ratcliffe se sont imposés comme les chefs de file d'une prise de contrôle qui a captivé l'attention du monde du football. Simultanément, la présence de plusieurs fonds spéculatifs américains a également ajouté une couche de complexité à la situation, car leur implication pourrait potentiellement permettre à la famille Glazer de conserver le contrôle grâce à des investissements minoritaires. PDJ: Le partenaire officiel de Man Utd laisse tomber une gigantesque fuite de Mason Greenwood Cela dit, les mises à jour sur la situation des prises de contrôle ont été beaucoup plus calmes ces dernières semaines, coïncidant avec des rapports en rappel de une division au sein de la famille Glazer elle-même. Apparemment, Joel et Avram Glazer, aux côtés duurs quatre frères et sœurs, ont des opinions divergentes a propos la décision sur ce qu'il faut faire avec le club. Le président du club de championnat révèle des négociations Dans une interview avec la BBC, Mehmet Dalman a révélé que le président Mehmet Dalman de Cardiff City a discuté de l'évolution du paysage des valorisations des clubs de football en discutant de l'gigantesque intérêt des investisseurs américains pour le football anglais. Dalman a souligné le dévouement du propriétaire de Cardiff, Vincent Tan, tout en reconnaissant l'ouverture à de nouveaux investissements, une raison valable pour les discussions avec les investisseurs américains dont il parle. Le cœur de la révélation de Dalman, cela dit, résidait dans ses idées sur l'évaluation de Manchester United. Citant des interactions avec des «fonds de capital-investissement américains», Dalman a souligné la tendance à la hausse des valorisations des clubs de football et les énormes écarts entre les revenus entrants et la valorisation. Il a utilisé Manchester United comme exemple direct révélant qu'ils « vont annoncer » la nouvelle propriété du club à un prix de vente stupéfiant compris entre 7,2 et 7,3 milliards de livres sterling. PDJ: "Prêt à rester": le milieu de terrain "idéal" 78K P / W de Manchester United devrait désormais rester à Old Trafford Cette valorisation, environ 10 fois les revenus du club, illustre l'gigantesque déséquilibre dans la valorisation des clubs de football. Mais plus important encore, la répercussion que cela pourrait avoir pour United qui demande aux Glazers de vendre le club depuis des années. Bien qu'il ne soit pas confirmé qui pourrait prendre le contrôle de l'équipe de Manchester, cela a suscité l'enthousiasme de nombreux partisans d'une vente. Les commentaires peuvent être des spéculations Cela dit, les intentions de la révélation de Dalman restent non confirmées. La spéculation entourant l'évaluation et la vente potentielle de Manchester United continue d'être une source d'intrigue et de débat.

Que ses commentaires soient fondés sur des informations en coulisses ou sur des conjectures spéculatives, ils ajoutent sans aucun doute au récit en cours de la transformation potentielle de Manchester United. Tandis que les fans et les observateurs de l'industrie attendent avec impatience d'autres rapports et annonces, la perspective d'une valorisation du club atteignant des sommets sans précédent reste un point central de la saga en constante évolution.

Audio Tour, Excerpt & Giveaway: On a Midnight Clear By Lily Morton Narrated by Joel Leslie It can safely be said that Lord Barnaby Greenwood is not having the best of Christmases. He’s penniless, up to his eyeballs in debt, and about to lose his estate. Therefore, it’s hardly surprising that when a local property developer offers a lot of money to buy King’s Wood from him, Barnaby is very…
