  1. I snagged the last copy on another website a few minutes after posting my rant.
  2. The Tatum is unbelievable, a real find. The solos are the Tatum showpieces like “Elegy” and “Tabu.”
  3. Whoever the genius is who decided to make the Nat King Cole Live At The Blue Note Chicago CD set a limited edition of 5000 has evidently created a firestorm of speculators snapping up every copy for resale. I was planning on buying it online at 8 am ET when it was first available, but got up early and then fell back asleep. All of the usual sellers had no stock by the time I awakened again at 9:15 am, it took awhile to find a copy anywhere. I already spotted some obvious resellers asking prices of $50 or more.
  4. Michael Cuscuna made a huge contribution even before he formed Mosaic Records with the late Charlie Lourie. His many accomplishments and success in creating some of the most treasured boxed sets in jazz history will be a great legacy. He died far too young at 75.
  5. I can't ever remember seeing it happen, or even attempted, in all of the games I've watched over the past 40+ years.
  6. You don't see it all that often, but it deserves an Oscar when pulled off successfully. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/new-jersey-hs-baseball-team-uses-hidden-ball-trick-win-game Scroll down to the X video.
  7. I haven’t been all that impressed with the Glasper CDs that I’ve heard, though I probably haven’t heard any since the first two Blue Notes.
  8. That must have been one major gambling problem. Ohtani is now learning not to hire friends and relatives, like many past pros have had to learn.
  9. Damned tiny fonts...but a bulletin board isn't the same as printing a hardback book with a glaring error. This happens on my phone all the time.
  10. My favorite blooper was in Ben Sidran’s book of interviews. Denny Zeitlln was misspelled Zeitland throughout the chapter. Obviously Sidran didn’t review the galleys too carefully and I’m sure that he didn’t do the transcribing.
  11. Before Marian McPartland married Jimmy McPartland, her birth name was Margaret Marian Turner.
  12. I came across this blooper in an NPR podcast transcription about Art Tatum: He also unfluenced Benny Carter, Johnny Hodges, John Coltrane... all of these musicians that said they came out of Tatum.
