I agree that Repo is worth a visit, though I haven't been to the new location. Long in the Tooth is near where I work and stay. 2027 Sansom Street. I have enjoyed this place and the people who work there. Hideaway, 8612 Germantown Ave. is not so close. If you have a car... Wild Mutation, 2223 Frankford may be gone. It's website is gone. If it's still around, I'd pay a visit. It's small and not really jazz-focused. So depending on your taste for punk... Actually, there are a bunch of punk places. Sorry, not really helpful. I'm limited to where I can walk.

My brain has been "down" even longer. Belated Happy Birthday.

Happy birthday!

Putting anything in coffee makes it not-coffee. The same goes for salad with dressing, perhaps excusing some minimal amount of oil and vinegar or some such. I'm against cooking any vegetable that doesn't require it to be edible. (Potato, brussels sprout...) Ketchup on a hot dog? Am I misreading this?

Off-topic, with respect to Xanadu Gold Series, but on-topic for Xanadu and Wardell Gray, there's nice early Wardell with the Earl Hines Orchestra on this one: https://jazzjupiter.blogspot.com/2017/09/swing-into-bebop-earl-hines-and-his.html ...alongside my old buddy Kermit "Scotty" Scott.

Happy Birthday. (You'll need to provide your own fireworks.)

Nice man. We shared a hometown and a few common friends (the amiable Vernon Alley, for one) and so a few pleasant conversations at concerts. Mr. Wyands never seemed his age, so 91 seems almost unreal. I'm glad our paths crossed. Rest peacefully.

Physics explains why time passes faster as you age
BeBop replied to JSngry's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
Interesting. I just figured that the things I remember squeeze together to fill in the gaps for all the sh*t I forget, compressing time. -
Dallas, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Etc. Jazz & Other Concerts
BeBop replied to kh1958's topic in Live Shows & Festivals
Thanks for the tips. Is the Jonathan Fisher with guest Shelley Carrol a standing/regular Sunday gig? I ask just because the calendar for the Balcony Club ends September 19th, then picks up again mid-October. Maybe those are just the non-"standing" shows. Maybe in a couple of days, all will be revealed. Again, thanks. -
The disappearing Cincinnati jazz scene
BeBop replied to brownie's topic in Jazz In Print - Periodicals, Books, Newspapers, etc...
Up. Coming back in October, just for a few days, 7th through 15th. Any information? Thanks. -
Dallas, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Etc. Jazz & Other Concerts

Time for my annual trip to the United States. Historically - 33 years - it's been to the United Nations headquarters "near" New York City. So why am I posting here? This year, I'm going to...Richardson, TX (and later to Cincinnati). It's going to be a great change from Manhattan. Ahem. I won't have a car, though I'm near a light rail stop at Galatyn Park Station, and I will be loading the Lyft app to my mobile. The other little bummer is that I'm working Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Any suggestions for my annual chance to, like, hear live jazz? I poked around and found this place: https://www.sohofooddrinksandjazz.com/music-calendar ("Ron Jones brings you classic solo saxophone all night". Somehow, I'm not picturing five hours of "For Alto".) This place http://www.balconyclub.com/ seems to be dark during my days. This place https://kitchencafedallas.com/ looks nice, as a place, though I can't say the music offered during my days (pop vocals?) appeals much. And Dallas is pretty far. So, hey, if I'm SOL, I can live with that, but any suggestions appreciated. September 22nd - October 3rd (again, minus Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights). Thanks. -
I be late too, but Happy Birthday, Dan.

Happy birthday, sssssssssidewinder.

Happy Birthday!

I haven't had access to my collection since 1999, aside from two or three holiday weeks, now decades past. At that point, my life expectancy aligned well with my collection size. Now, the years have passed and my continuously renewed expectation of "next year" feels delusional.
-
But look, it comes with 6,000 points! (Sorry, I live in a world where people are always grubbing for some form of "points" - airline, restaurant, hotel... Or "likes". Jeez, I'm old.)

Happy Birthday!

Fast forward six years...Happy BIrthday!

I was surprised not to find a Seattle thread, unless I just missed it. I've got a month or more of work here. The likelihood of getting an hour or few off is small - though I did manage to catch Janiva Magness and Jim Alfredson on my last trip through. If a free moment does arise, It'd be great to have a plan. I know the place a little, having attended University of Washington back in a previous century. Jazz Alley's still around; Bud's Records isn't. I guess I see this as a general purpose thread for any recommendations people have. Seattle's popular and relatively interesting. I imagine I'm not the only one passing through. Record your wisdom here.

Sssssoulstation - Happy Birthday!

I have been working in Japan for a couple of weeks. Toilets here are about as far from my home area as one can get. Some even provide music to obscure, well, toilet noises. So, what's your toilet music?

Late to the party, but happy birthday, JSngry.
