Weird for a game to have getaway day start time when its game 1 of a series and maybe Boone just couldn't adjust. Or maybe his reputation precedes him. https://www.mlb.com/news/aaron-boone-ejected-in-first-inning-of-yankees-game-against-a-s

I think a lot depends on whether that age coincides with what is 'current' or not. My discovery of jazz started at the tail end of that age frame, and blues/R&B mostly or almost entirely after. And none of it was "fresh" except for the Young Lion recreations of older styles.

Maybe it wasn't the manager the last few years. Although I guess managerial effects only come out across an entire season, if they exist.

Really shocking news and far too young. RIP.

I took this as a Chuck Mangione clue but Discogs didn't confirm.

Red Sox highlight of the season - guaranteed: Tanner Houk completes a "Maddux" CG shut out. https://www.mlb.com/redsox/news/tanner-houck-throws-shutout-vs-guardians The last pitcher to throw a “Maddux” with nine strikeouts or more in a game played in 1:50 or less? That would be Maddux himself on Aug. 20, 1995 in St. Louis.

I had the 45 though I was about 7 at the time and for a long time beyond all I knew of the Allmans was that song and Cher banging Gregg.

So now he stole four times as much and nobody knew anything. It's like nobody tended the books at all. So color me unconvinced. ****************** And I know its "early" and "just three games" but the disaster in Fenway has me thinking this is a 90 loss team. The bullpen has been exposed, the offense is a joke and has been the entire season and the defense is worse than last year when that seemed impossible. And as the days warm up, the starting 5, such as it is, will fall in place as an assortment of mediocrities and worse.

Brings up a possible Poll: Which is worse for non-jazz bookings, Newport or New Orleans "Jazz" Fest?

Agree about later Spaulding, I do enjoy a couple of the Muse dates.

Actually @felser and I determined it was probably a reaction to Spaulding on alto.

What look to be interesting radio interviews of some jazz and blues legends https://www.youtube.com/@danmccloskyradiointerviews/videos Mingus, Silver, Duke Pearson, Bobby Hutcherson and others plus BB King, Little Milton and other blues artists.

I could swear there was a separate post about this piece on the blog https://richardvacca.com/joe-gordon-story-part-1/ but I could not find it via a google search for the O. So ... y'all should check this out very informative. I went looking because I just received Shelly Manne & His Men - West Coast Jazz in England and highly recommend it, despite it being on the infamous Solar label.

That almost had me going except for the Sh*t out of Luck acronym, the bank account pw and the snark at the end of the text.

Overall, the Red Sox lead the Majors with a 1.49 ERA, the lowest mark through 10 games in franchise history. Interesting.

Congratulations!

If we want to get into private recordings (broadcast) of Silver there is a ton out there in Dime/Trade land.

MSN ... but not yet at the NYT. Sad.

Update to Strider: UCL "damage" And Loasiga torn UCL out for season

Thanks for sharing that Kevin and Lon, it seems as though you could definitely be right ... and I guess that the labels that had artists under contract knew what Granz was doing.

@clifford_thornton @felser I figured it was obvious in context I was referring to Horace as the last contracted artist on BN until the end of the first incarnation of the label, and that therefore a live recording in 1964 would be BN property and that how it came to Pablo was an unresolved mystery, not that he was a Blue Note artist thru his entire recorded output. I am forgetful, not ignorant.

By chance was the catcher set up off the plate? Somehow some umps will definitely miss a pitch right down the middle, as if penalizing him for not hitting the catcher's glove, who was set up outside the strike zone!

I don't want robocalls for balls/strikes -- what I have seen of the "challenge" system in minors seems quite good and it leaves the random variable of super close pitches being called in the moment. It doesn't have to be perfect umps, but a system of appeal by either side so that obvious misses don't stand would be good IMHO.

Shouldn't forget there is also Paris Blues that somehow came out on the Pablo label in the CD era. Never understood how that happened considering that I understood him to be under contract with BN all the way to the very end.

https://www.discogs.com/master/431899-Horace-Silver-Live-At-Newport-58 Yet he put out one on his own Silveto label. https://www.discogs.com/release/2679867-Horace-Silver-Live-1964
