On this day in 1842, Alfred Marshall was born to study economics, helping cohere existing concepts into a framework that still underlies microeconomics and that earned him his place as the father of scientific economics, a discipline that I sometimes have my doubts about. #OTD

On this day in 1964, Will(iam) Calhoun was born to pound the skins and keep the beat, which he does for Living Colour and others looking for a master timekeeper who can funk it up while keeping it tight behind jazz, prog and rock players. A contemporary master. #OTD

anhonestcon's tweet card. To hide the cost of renovating the plane Qatar donated to President Trump, the Air Force appears to have tucked it inside an over-budget, behind-schedule nuclear modernization program.

On this day in 1907, John Cornelius Hodges was born to become Johnny Hodges and play the saxophone, most notably as the alto player/soloist in Duke Ellington's band. Rightly lauded by contemporaries and those who came later. #OTD #jazz

I understand that Chuck never had the cultural clout of Ozzy or Hulk, but his hit—Feels So Good—is a monster track and summertime must. It may be the last jazz instrumental to chart. Wishing the man with the flugelhorn a well-deserved rest. democratandchronicle.com/story/news/202…

anhonestcon's tweet card. “The family of Chuck Mangione is deeply saddened to share that Chuck peacefully passed away in his sleep at his home in Rochester, New York on July 22, 2025."

On this day in 1953, Jon Faddis was born to play jazz trumpet, and if his early renown had a lot to do with his ability to sound uncannily like his mentor, Dizzy Gillespie, time has proven that he's a true master of his genre and his instrument. #OTD #jazz

I suppose I thought Ozzy would be around, mumbling well into *my* 80s. Not my genre or band but I appreciate a good comedian/showman. Rest well, sir. nytimes.com/2025/07/22/art…

anhonestcon's tweet card. As the lead singer of Black Sabbath, he helped invent heavy metal. On “The Osbournes,” he presented a comedic counterpoint to his rock ’n’ roll infamy.

On this day in 1767, John Quincy Adams was born to hold almost every elected office at the Federal level, and quite a few of the high-level appointed ones as well. The first son of a former President to be elected, he's the only President who returned to the House afterward. #OTD
