Some other stuff that happened this week, give or take:

  •  He was known for his laid-back style and for his influence on, among others, Miles Davis, who once said, “All my inspiration comes from Ahmad Jamal.”
  •  Sending movies through the mail, in recognizable red-and-white envelopes, helped the company become a behemoth in Hollywood.
  •  Collectors are finding that their childhood has a price — and it’s going up. When the future is frightening, it’s boom times at the nostalgia factory.
  •  The streaming service tried its second-ever live broadcast for the highly anticipated Love Is Blind reunion
  •  The writers have not gone on strike in 15 years, and the vote gives their unions the right to call for a walkout when their contract expires on May 1.
  •  BuzzFeed News, which won a Pulitzer Prize but never made money, is “beginning the process of closing,” the company’s founder, Jonah Peretti, said in a memo to employees.
  •  The movie’s focus (how Michael Jordan got a cut from Nike) reflects what its filmmakers, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, are trying to do in their new venture.
  •  “I’ve asked God for a sign of forgiveness. A specific one, a white tulip.”
  •  After a rough start, the generation is thriving. Why doesn’t it feel that way?
  • The song debuts at No. 83.
  •  A track like “Heart on My Sleeve,” which went viral before being taken down by streaming services this week, may be a novelty for now. But the legal and creative questions it raises are here to stay.
