Wow. A tie.

Chicago Underground Trio, Chronicle (Delmark)

The later albums are surprisingly good.

Maybe this is common knowledge but since moving to Harlem last year I discovered Rodgers and Hart grew up right next to each other.

I never really spent time with later Pentangle, but have and adore all the Transatlantic/Reprise albums.

R.I.P.

Agreed. the three Pentangle box sets on Cherry Red are highly recommended purchases, superseding all other Pentangle releases: https://www.cherryred.co.uk/pentangle-the-albums-19681972-7cd-boxset https://www.cherryred.co.uk/pentangle-through-the-ages-19841995-6cd-clamshell-box-set https://www.cherryred.co.uk/pentangle-reunions-live-amp-bbc-sessions-19822011-4cd-clamshell-box

I'm With Her

A cool morning, but pleasantly calm and quiet. Starting off with: Stan Getz “Complete Live at Montreux 1972” Gambit cd 300×300 8.41 KB An exciting performance with Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke and Tony Williams.

A small side note about the appreciation of the partners of Richard Rodgers: I'm reading "Eddie Condon's Treasury of Jazz " right now (in small instalments), and in the chapter on Lee Wiley (written by George Frazier) there is this: "To hear Lee at her best, listen to her Storyville LP - the portfolio of Rodgers and Hart. Not Rodgers and that other fellow (who would be Oscar Hammerstein II, who, no disrespect intended, no Larry Hart, he) ..." I suppose the experts' opinions do differ on the respective merits of Rodgers' partners?

Nothing is missing in your collection... 😂

Pretty sure I saw him once or twice with Richard Thompson. He had a VERY distinctive sound. Always enjoyed his presence on an album. Pentangle WAS a unique band. Pentangle 2.0 (they didn't call themselves "2.0") was really good, too. They released about 6 albums in the 80s-90s. A little bit electric, but not in a bad way. And not intrusive.

September 29 Jean-Luc Ponty - 1942 Saw Jean-Luc Ponty (v) with William Lecomte (keyb), Guy Akwa Nsangué (b), Thierry Arpino (dr), and Moustapha Cissé (perc) in Göttingen November 6, 2004

Here is the additional vinyl on Columbia with the rest (5 more tracks):

The Ticats showed nothing. However, the Argos' loss clinched second place for Hamilton. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/27/recap-winnipeg-40-hamilton-3/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/27/zach-collaros-cooks-up-ticats-in-return-for-bombers/ https://www.tsn.ca/wires/cp/article/blue-bombers-tame-tiger-cats-to-move-into-third-in-west/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/27/hamilton-tiger-cats-fail-to-get-off-the-plane-in-winnipeg-fly-home-embarrassed-seven-other-thoughts/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/27/winnipeg-blue-bombers-erupt-offensively-crush-hamilton-tiger-cats-13-other-thoughts/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-scores-today-winnipeg-blue-bombers-40-hamilton-tiger-cats-3-collaros-returns-in-dominant-fashion/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/27/3-stats-that-defined-winnipegs-week-17-win-over-hamilton/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/27/official-hamilton-tiger-cats-clinch-cfl-playoff-spot/ ***** Edmonton 27....Sask 25 Terrific game till the very end!

However, it's very possible that the Elks could win two of their last three, so we will see. Both the Argos and the Redblacks would have to win all of their remaining games to avoid the eleventh loss. *****

yes, I've heard the UK to US line seems to be open as of late.
