I’m popping in again to remind you that the action these days is at Cocktails and Crime, my Substack newsletter. A recap of the last few months of entries—
The Netflix documentary How to Rob a Bank, and how I was hired to tell the same story decades ago.
Reviews of two new jazz histories.
I marked the one-year anniversary of C&C by going to a book signing for Baseball: The Movie.
I try to figure out why everyone keeps asking me if I’m retired, and why that means staying connected. Also, a related few words on one of the year’s best films, the documentary Flipside.
A pair of books on vintage spirits puts me on a birthday quest to drink Howard Hughes’s whiskey.
A memoir and a raucous comedy set in the ancestral homeland of the Keenans, plus Martin Scorsese’s heartfelt tribute to Powell & Pressburger.
