October 1 Dave Holland - 1946 Memories: Dave Holland was at the GĂśttingen Jazz Festival with Chris Potter, Jason Moran, and Eric Harland in November 7, 2009. After the soundcheck, he had a long chat backstage with Majid Bekkas. After the gig around midnight, he said goodbye, but his companions stayed until 4:00 a.m. and took part in the session in the theater cellar. The reason was Harland's birthday on November 8, and a highlight for us!

On the: The Thousand Threads, a Neneh Cherry's Book, there is this information: ... By 1954, and still in high school, Don had earned a union card and was playing professionally. Often, he would compete in talent shows around the neighbourhood with people like Johnny âGuitarâ Watson. Don said that Johnny, slicker than the rest, always won. With Billy, George Newman and Pee Wee Williams, they formed a group called the Jazz Messiahs, playing bebop and jazz in clubs around town. Together they played R&B clubs, going as far north as Vancouver. .. My question is: Is Pee Wee Williams a bass player? Does anyone know him?

Not true. You still have some great Bert Jansch, and many of the songs are interesting. Not "just" folk songs. Try listening to the Live album (their last release)
-
OâGallagher has always been an interesting player/composer for me. Iâm in on this one.
-
I believe this is Vincent Herring & Eric Alexander's 3rd CD together. Superb/Supreme swinging Hard Bop. Although he's had his own voice for awhile, I still hear Bird & Cannonball coming through loud and clear. Eric was his usual expressive self. I wish they'd come to Yoshi's

Agreed, FE is a great vendor with really diverse inventory. Buy with confidence if they have something you want.

I suspect that the teams are receiving negative feedback about the proposed rules changes. I say this because most of them don't want to talk about it. https://3downnation.com/2025/09/30/all-nine-cfl-teams-respond-to-whether-fans-have-cancelled-tickets-over-rule-changes/ ***** Week 18 picks https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/30/prediction-time-cfl-ca-writers-week-18-picks-3/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/30/weekly-predictor-who-wins-in-week-18/ ***** Power Rankings https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/30/amsoil-power-rankings-movement-at-the-top/ ***** Week 18 preview https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/article/stampeders-lions-battle-for-second-place-in-west-division-in-week-18-action-on-tsn/ ***** Week 17 review https://3downnation.com/2025/09/30/3downnation-cfl-awards-the-best-and-worst-of-week-17-3/ *****

What Classical Music Are You Listening To?
Peter Friedman replied to StarThrower's topic in Classical Discussion
- Yesterday

Thanks so much. I actually have (or had) that Hargrove CD sitting around, but haven't listened to it in decades. Need to revisit it! Same with the Joshua Redman album. And I have the Harper Bros. and Tuck & Patti CD's as well. Agree with you that the Tuck & Patti is their masterpiece, though I also enjoy the next two albums, 'Love Warriors' and 'Dream', quite a bit. Great job on the BFT itself and on sharing your thoughts on the reveal, thanks so much for brightening a dreary September!

Sorry I didn't have the time to seriously listen, never got beyond the first track, which sounded familiar - now I know why. Only other album I have is the Joshua Redman, but I doubt I would have recognized it. Thanks for pitting it together!

BFT Reveal 1. Abdullah Ibrahim âThe Weddingâ from the album African Marketplace. Touted as South Africaâs Duke Ellington, for me, the majesty and beauty of this tune exemplifies why music is a universal language. 2. Roy Hargrove âPublic Eyeâ from the album of the same name. Of the many young lions of the 90s, I was drawn to Hargrove. This record along with his first, âDiamond in the Rough,â remain go to titles all these years later in a collection of thousands of titles. 3. Roy Campbell Jr. âI Remember Leeâ from the album âNew Kingdom,â which was his first date as a leader. I first heard Campbell on a Khan Jamal title on CIMP. Again, I was drawn to his sound and the sense of adventure in his playing. New Kingdom does an excellent job of capturing this energy. As youâll see, I have a soft spot for trumpeters. I agree with the comment that the opening is overly long- but what follows is more than worth the wait. 4. Paolo Fresu âCheek to Cheek.â From the album âThings,â which features Uri Caine. Fresu is another trumpeter that I enjoy. Their playful take on this classic tune that I grew up hearing radiates joy. 5. Andy Sheppard âBing,â from the album Movements in Color. I first heard Sheppard on his earliest Antilles titles. His work for ECM (this is from 2009) as a leader and a sideman, particularly with Carla Bley, documents an artist evolving and maturing. 6. Anat Cohen âVeinte Anosâ from the album âPlace and Time.â This is from Cohenâs debut as a leader in 2005. She was the âitâ girl in jazz and from where I sit at the time she lived up to the hype. Delving deep into world music and the Jewish music of her heritage, Cohen creates a varied palette that works for me. 7. Benny Bailey âGroovinâ Highâ from the 1994 album âNo Refillâ on TCB. This Dizzy Gillespie song opens up the record. Timeless jazz as it should be. 8. The Harper Brothers âRemembranceâ from the 1989 album âRemembrance [Live at the Village Vanguard]â which was released on Verve. Another young lions group, Winard Harper and his brother Phillip front a group that also includes a young Stephen Scott (just 20 years of age) on piano. Great stuff. 9. The Lounge Lizards âYakâ from the album âQueen of All Ears (1998).â Led by John Lurie, who estimates about 80 people played on the bandâs four albums, the lineup for this gem includes Steven Bernstein, Michael Blake, and David Tronzo. Yes, itâs something of a novelty tune. I teach elementary school and every year my fifth graders get a kick out of it. Me too. 10. Tuck & Patti âBetter than Anything.â Tuck Andress made quite a splash among guitarists around the time of the 1988 release of the album âTears of Joy.â As a guitarist I had to check it out. While vocal jazz is not my thing, something about the album pulled me in. There is a sincerity, and as corny as it sounds, the love that they shared is palpable in the music. There is not a bad song on the album. This was one of New Age label Windham Hillâs first forays into jazz. None of their subsequent albums ever matched the beauty and musicality of this one in my opinion. Incidentally, although they have since divorced, they continue to perform together. 11. Eddie âLockjawâ Davis and Harry âSweetsâ Edison âOO-EE!â Opening track from the 1962 classic âJawbreakers.â âNuff said. 12. Joshua Redman âFaithâ from the album âMoodswing.â Released in 1994 as the Joshua Redman Quartet which included Christian McBride, Brian Blade, and Brad Mehldau. Redman now has dozens of titles to his credit. This album along with the 2018 title âStill Dreamingâ which includes Ron Miles are my go too titles. Lovely tune.

FE is great, they've been in the business for decades and do excellent work. They also have pretty frequent 10-15% off sales.

I also saw an outfit called www.forcedexposure.com has it for pre-order, though I have a lot more experience with DG. đ
