Dancing, swinging, and Ronnie Cuber knowing what time it is!

Discovered yesterday at breakfast (on a handbill posted in a diner right in our neighborhood), that this probably/presumably amazing group is playing here on Sunday night (3/1) at a coffeehouse less than a 15 minute walk from our new digs… http://joefonda.com/eastern-boundary-quartet.html > The EASTERN BOUNDARY Quartet is a collaborative quartet featuring the Hungarian master musicians drummer Balazs Bagyi and saxophonist Mihaly Borbely and the long-standing bass/piano partnership of New York City bassist Joe Fonda and pianist Michael Jefry Stevens (co-leaders of the Fonda/Stevens Group). further in their band bio: > This unique collaboration is a mixture of avant-garde jazz and ethno music from Hungary, like a cultural bridge between the USA and Eastern-Europe. Needless to say I’m def going!

Sabbagh's best effort yet. Killer rhythm section.

👍

I have no stake in the game, but this looks like a great deal for those who are interested, 5 Sun Ra LP's and a Sundazed Tote bag for $60: https://sundazed.com/five-lp-sun-ra-bundle-a-sundazed-tote-bag-for-60.aspx

The great Doug Rauch on bass

👍

Haven't seen that here, and we have an abundance of Greek/Mediterranean places here. As a side dish, maybe...

I do love British Invasion, and this was an extremely talented group. Their version of Oscar Brown, Jr.s' "Brother, Where Are You" is fabulous, my favorite version of that great song.

One of my favorite Santana albums:

Excellent!!

Gyros classic but chips or cooked potato in any form of sandwich just works.

Fries are not juicy. Why would anybody put them on an otherwise juicy sandwich? That's a Burger King stunt: https://theweek.com/articles/460471/why-burger-kings-french-fry-burger-bust

I really like Sabbagh, but I've never heard that particular album.

Sounds like this could be quite good. The band may be similar to the one on Social Studies (1980), my favorite early Carla Bley album.

Yeah, I actually used to pull them off the sandwich and eat them on the side. I do the same thing with pickles. And largely succeeding. UPMC Presbyterian (in the Oakland section, where Pitt and Carnegie-Mellon are) has 900 beds and sees 360,000 inpatient/observation cases each year. I think that is very close to where Rooster and wife are living if I recall.

Hold the fries or else I walk. Sorry.

And now for finishing Friday audition, this little Jerome Sabbagh jewell, Vintage...

It’s awful. But the music is great 👍

The box set, the latest Bootleg Series, is excellent. Now, Wayne Escoffery “Alone” Smoke Sessions cd An excellent session with Ron Carter, Gerald Clayton and Carl Allen.

I have that exact same Barnaby reissue. Great music!
