A handful of films and a musical disc for an extended stay in the Catskills:

First up, recordings of Oscar Pettiford in Denmark. Mr. Pettiford was a superb double bassist who also played the cello (I can't think of any other jazz musician who played the cello; Yo Yo Ma bows it, and Pettiford picked it). Years ago I found recordings of Bud Powell in Paris on YouTube, and one was of Pettiford's song Blues in the Closet, which quickly became a favorite. In this album Pettiford performed with Scandinavian musisicans, as well as with American tenor sax man Stan Getz.

I found an article, online of course, from the UK's Guardian reviewing the recording:

In the late 1950s, Copenhagen was second only to Paris as a European jazz hot spot, and American bassist Oscar Pettiford was its leading light. These 17 tracks reveal what a lively and diverse scene the mixture of US expats and Scandinavian musicians had created. Prominent among the latter was Swedish pianist Jan Johansson, whose sensitive blend of jazz and local folk music was decades ahead of today’s distinctive and widely accepted north European sounds. The most famous temporary expat was Stan Getz, who can be heard here on three numbers, recorded live, along with both Pettiford and Johansson. Listen out, too, for vibraphonist Louis Hjulmand and drummer Joe Harris. A fascinating selection from a brief but exciting time.

Films:
The man who knew Infinity is a wonderful character-driven drama which investigates mathematical genius and racial intolerance, make that racism. Dev Patel and Jeremy Irons are wonderful.

Frida I remember seeing years ago, and enjoying immensely. After watching half an hour I realized I was beginning to pick it apart too much, and running the danger of spoiling a great memory. I turned it off.

An officer and a gentleman is a little dated, but Gere and Winger and Gossett are magnificent (I took it because I wanted to see another Robert Loggia film; he's in this films for the first few minutes only).

Rent is always great.

If Beale Street could talk I am not so sure about; the acting was wonderful.
