Three votes already for "Wishing on the Moon" by Donald Clarke - that seals it for now: I've started on this Billie Holiday biography (her genealogy described in the first chapter is confusing, to say the least!). Anyway ... opinions on the other books shown in my starting post remain welcome. In particular, another question to those who know: How does the Stan Kention "Artistry In Rhythm" bio by William F. Lee compare to other biographies written on "Stan The Man"? This is a subject I find quite tempting and I was glad to get that book, but leafing through the pages in the chapters of his final years left me a bit puzzled. At times they read like a scrapbook collection of newspaper articles on him which seem somewhat repetitive at first glance - as if geared towards the diehard fan completist. Strange ...

I get that a tie sucks, but not as .much as a loss, right?

Slow Horses - new season, Apple+

One of my first jazz albums. A $1.99 special.

I need to ease my glide, I need cushions in my ride.

OOPs. $10 shipped.

So I had pre-ordered a record from Korea I forgot about until Tuesday when I got an email it shipped. It was pre-ordered in July or August, I don’t remember but definitely before de minimus ended. Either way I wasn't asked to pay anything extra so either they ate the cost or FedEx will ask for money, though tracking doesn’t indicate I owe anything extra. Will be here tomorrow. We shall see.

It's showing at a nearby film festival in mid-October. I'm on the fence but leaning against seeing it.

Overlooked AND underrated!

The two "unreleased" Village Vanguard tracks were included in the box set from that gig a few years after. Nothing that isn't available elsewhere in more complete form, which most completists probaly have. No idea about the mastering, but if it's by Hoffman, it probably sounds great.

Week 18 picks https://doorfliesopen.com/2025/10/02/cfl-beat-251/ My picks... I hope everyone noticed that I picked the Elks last week. I felt pretty smart for a couple of days for that. In fact this morning, the Maestro at Door Flies Open sent kudos my way. That hasn't happened before. Roughriders over Redblacks - The Redblacks apparently threw in the towel when they sent Lorenzo Mauldin, an all-star last year, to the Stampeders this week. If the Redblacks lose, they will be the first to be mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. Tiger-Cats over Argonauts - The Argos have been inconsistent all year. I don't think Scott Milanovich is going to allow the Ticats to have two bad games in a row. Like the Redblacks, the Argos' backs are against the wall. Lions over Stampeders - The Lions are much improved, while the Stampeders are fading. ***** ***** Five noteworthy receivers https://www.cfl.ca/2025/10/02/5-receivers-who-deserve-to-be-named-to-the-all-cfl-team/ ***** Game Notes https://www.cfl.ca/2025/10/02/game-notes-what-you-need-to-know-ahead-of-week-18/ ***** Week 18 previews https://www.cfl.ca/2025/10/02/3-keys-to-victory-for-saskatchewan-ottawa-in-week-18/ https://3downnation.com/2025/10/02/rb-william-stanback-returns-to-ottawa-redblacks-lineup-against-riders/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/article/sole-possession-of-second-in-west-division-up-for-grabs-when-lions-host-stampeders/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/battle-for-2nd-calgary-stampeders-8-6-vs-bc-lions-8-7/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/can-the-calgary-stampeders-hold-on-to-2nd-place/ ***** Playoff Scenarios https://www.cfl.ca/2025/10/02/112th-grey-cup-playoff-scenarios-als-eye-playoff-berth-home-date/ https://3downnation.com/2025/10/02/b-c-lions-montreal-alouettes-eye-cfl-playoff-clinching-scenarios-in-week-18/

Is there a price for this?

Mastered by Steve Hoffman CD, liner and jewel case Mint- https://www.discogs.com/release/3691711-John-Coltrane-From-The-Original-Master-Tapes

Yes, it was. Great album.

The New Cars - It's Alive! This is a fun live album, Todd Rundgren plus Elliott Easton and Greg Hawkes from The Cars (plus Kasim Sulton and Prairie Prince), doing mostly Cars tracks, plus two Todd songs.

I'm in for all of them except the Tolliver, which iirc was included as part of Mosaic's Tolliver Select set.
