Greg Osby at SFJAZZ next Sunday. Don't know who's playing with him yet.

Late night TMC ( I have a hard time falling asleep) has introduced me to a number of movies from the seventies I never even knew existed, eg, this one, starring Harvey Keitel and Robert DeNiro. Don't follow what the big problem was, except a small debt that wasn't paid and two hours was "paid" explaining that, and a loophole ending, but otherwise, an under-the-radar movie I never heard of beforehand.

Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio, Cold as Weiss

Grew up in West Palm Beach, Boca specifically, and we would say, 'sup.

Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell Blues Before Sunrise (Columbia)

Gastr Del Sol – "We Have Dozens Of Titles"

A marvelous 2025 production on Jutta Hipp. Very nice. German : Being Hipp - First Lady of European Jazz - Die ganze Doku | ARTE French: Being Hipp : la première dame du jazz européen - Regarder le documentaire complet | ARTE

It must have been a foot or more over here. But things have been cleaned up fairly well. I was out on the roads once. I've seen people playing in the snow! Plenty of school and college closings on Monday.

Wife requested it

Sometimes keeping your "fingers off" is a worthy contribution.

👍Totally agree.

Cannot recommend. These are the daily strips from the 2020-2021 Covid lockdown, and most of them aren't funny. *****

Philly is "youse guys", I don't remember hearing "youse" without "guys". Pittsburgh was/is "yins", Huntsville, Ala. was/is "y'all". Don't remember what it was/is in the other places I've lived (Cincinnati, OH and West Palm Beach, FLA).

Tonight the first viewing of There well be more. Delighted to see Buddy Guy at the end.

I found a used LP of it awhile back and was kinda WTF? that it was on Emarcy?!?!?

I kinda thought that "youse" and "youse guys" were distinct and desperate phrases?

Thanks for this. Wasn't on my radar at all. Barre Phillips and Daniel Humair are holding it down! Friedman and Zoller together...magic.

Yeah, NYC.

you are damn right, loud !!!!! I heard that group in 1978 at Kongresshaus in Vienna. That venue doesn´t exist anymore, now there is a BILLA market in it🤢 Anyway, it was really loud and I was sitting near the amps, but it was one of the best live shows I ever heard, I heard Max Roach later too, with Odeon Pope and Calvin Hill, but I liked the quartet with Billy Harper more, and liked Reggie Workman more as a bassist. This is a very fine album. I think some of the albums Bud recorded in the mid fifties were not as good as earlier albums or later albums, but this one is very fine. The Monk tunes like Epistrophy are outa sight, as is Salt Peanuts and a boppish theme on Sweet Georgia Brown. Bud was really in very fine form on it.

That´s what me had told Allan Praskin with whom I have played very often. He recorded for ESP, is the co-leader of the James Zitro album. I like that album very much.

Thx. I do have 'Dreams and Explorations' and 'Metamorphosis'. Thx!
