Christ. This one is easy.
I first heard this on clunky headphones on a dirty rainy Sunday afternoon in 1997 the Odegaard Undergraduate Library
Miles Davis covering Summertime on Porgy and Bess.

You ever think of how many perfectly good spoons heroin addicts have ruined?

CSB time.
I’m getting ready to move out of Seattle in 2017. My FIL has a ton of jazz CDs (mostly stuff he burned to CDs after checking out the originals from the library) but due to his diminishing eyesight, we transition him to Amazon Music via Alexa. Mrs Nacho is not a hoarder but also hates throwing stuff and wants to move it and see if her midwestern family wants some/all of the CDs.
I’m lazy and a realist. I know the family won’t want any of these CDs but I know a certain dictator who likes jazz so the next tim @DerekJohnson and I have lunch, I ask if he’s interested in some jazz CDs and bring who knows how many CDs, 50? 100?
Stalin kindly takes them off my hands but the next time we meet for lunch he preemptively tells me “no more CDs though”That’s my one and only jazz story.

Can confirm. The lunch was at Naan-n-Curry in Renton

That fucking place only does take out now. I was so mad when I stopped there in November thinking I was going to sit down and enjoy my favorite Indian restaurant only to find out I had to order at the register like a commoner. Disgusting.
