His lips started to bleed... https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/nov/14/experience-i-played-the-trumpet-for-25-hours-straight

Curious to see where Kyle Tucker lands and hoping it’s not Toronto or L.A. Free-agent market buzz and rumors are often of dubious credibility, but media consensus as of today is ranking the Blue Jays as the leading contender to land him.

Another addition: July 16, 1962 • Atlantic Perri Lee on organ on half the album.

Not on Spotify… once again, glad I have the CD! I have volume three in this series and need to pick up one and two. I love small-label compilations like these.

Didn't know, doesn't matter to me. It's an okay cd. . . it may grow on me more.

As you probably know, Laubrock & Rainey are married. Nice CD.

37 TP’s now and I love each of them but the Picture of Heath was not good. Skipped on my turntable and I refuse to adjust my setup. My other 500 records play fine and now Blue Notes telling me it’s my setup that’s the problem. Right… that was reallly lame and I returned it straight away.

Nels Cline “Consentrik Quartet” Blue Note cd Decided to try out the most recent Nels Cline release. Enjoying it! Certainly is well-recorded. Nels Cline on guitar, German jazz saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock, American drummer Tom Rainey, and double-bassist Chris Lightcap.

an original pressing that sounds amazing. What a great soundscape. Definitely my favorite of Shepps big band projects. I think quite some of the Afrocentric Freejazz (think of Hannibal for instance) of this decade were spoiled by bad vocalists but the girls (and guy) on this album could sing 👍

Lovely raw and energetic live performance.

Ran across it in a used record store.

Had a long detour into Virginia Woolf, rereading Orlando and Mrs. Dalloway, and I am now back into Russo's Empire Falls, which I expect to wrap up next week. Next books on the horizon are McCullers's The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, Nabokov's Ada, or Ardor, and Maxwell's So Long, See You Tomorrow. Oh, and Jane Austen's Persuasion.
