This is a quartet session with Kenny Barron, Kenny Davis & Winard Harper. I like it quite a bit. There is also a 2nd vol. titled "Magic 201" Now Listening to

This one is not for the faint of heart...free jazz, avant-garde jazz, crazy noise, whatever you want to call it, it is definitely a sonic experience.

This is a new one to me... how is it?

Yeah, I meant standard in comparison to the artisanal editions, but I see they're being listed as Deluxe Editions. I guess because they come with the booklet. Byrd Jazz is available too.

Through the first two discs of this beautifully-curated collection. Not very familiar with post-1980 Joni and am enjoying the sides included herein:

Verve V-8647 (Japan POJJ-1572 -1993) - Johnny Hodges/Earl "Fatha" Hines "Stride Right" - rec. 1966

Verve 23MJ 3397 (Japan 1984) - Charlie Ventura " Carnegie Hall Concert" - rec. April 1947

pmed you

Week 19 picks https://doorfliesopen.com/2025/10/09/cfl-beat-252/ https://3downnation.com/2025/10/10/3downnation-cfl-picks-straight-up-against-the-spread-week-19/ https://pifflespodcast.com/blog/piffles-picks-week-19-2025/ My picks... I'm picking the four home teams this week. Now that two teams have been eliminated, it will be harder to make picks because you don't know how seriously the teams will try to win. Roughriders over Argonauts - I expect the Argos to close up shop for the remainder of the schedule. Tiger-Cats over Stampeders - The Stamps have lost their past four, and I don't think the Ticats are the team to let them get back into the groove. I saw Wednesday (I think in one of the articles I posted) that in the past few years, the teams which have had Craig Dickenson on their coaching staff are a combined 1-22-1 after Labor Day. Elks over Blue Bombers - I've liked the Elks ever since they let Fajardo start. This game has final standings implications for both teams, so it might be a good one. Alouettes over Redblacks - Like the Argos, I expect the Redblacks to coast the remainder of the year. ***** Nine underrated players https://www.cfl.ca/2025/10/09/9-quality-players-who-might-not-make-the-all-cfl-team/ ***** Game Notes https://www.cfl.ca/2025/10/09/game-notes-what-you-need-to-know-ahead-of-westjet-thanksgiving-weekend/ ***** The league has released the list of 112 rookies eligible for Outstanding Rookie. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/10/09/112-first-year-players-form-2025-rookie-class/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/10/09/9-rookies-of-note-eligible-for-most-outstanding-rookie/ https://3downnation.com/2025/10/09/official-cfl-declares-all-112-players-eligible-to-win-most-outstanding-rookie/ ***** Week 19 previews https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/article/roughriders-look-to-claim-west-in-week-19-action-on-tsn/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/10/09/5-players-to-watch-on-westjet-thanksgiving-weekend/ https://www.cfl.ca/everything-you-need-to-know-about-westjet-thanksgiving-weekend/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/10/10/3-strengths-for-every-team-ahead-of-westjet-thanksgiving-weekend/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/10/09/3-keys-to-victory-for-toronto-saskatchewan-on-westjet-thanksgiving-weekend/ https://www.tsn.ca/wires/cp/article/riders-look-to-lock-up-first-place-in-west-division-as-they-host-struggling-argos/ https://pifflespodcast.com/blog/game-day-riders-look-to-put-lights-out-on-west-division-clinch-first-with-win-against-toronto/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/saskatchewan-roughriders-11-4-week-19-preview-vs-toronto-argonauts-5-11-prediction-depth-chart-injuries-odds/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/toronto-argonauts-5-11-week-19-preview-vs-saskatchewan-roughriders-11-4-prediction-depth-chart-injuries-odds/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-schedule-today-october-10th-2025-toronto-argonauts-vs-saskatchewan-roughriders-tv-channels-live-stream-odds/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/10/10/3-keys-to-victory-for-calgary-hamilton-on-westjet-thanksgiving-weekend/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/hamilton-tiger-cats/cfl-week-19-calgary-stampeders-hamilton-tiger-cats/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/10/10/3-keys-to-victory-for-winnipeg-edmonton-on-westjet-thanksgiving-weekend/ ***** Playoff Scenarios https://www.cfl.ca/2025/10/09/112th-grey-cup-playoff-scenarios-riders-ticats-eye-division-titles/ https://3downnation.com/2025/10/10/winnipeg-blue-bombers-calgary-stampeders-set-for-playoff-clinching-scenarios-in-week-19/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/112th-grey-cup-playoff-scenarios-westjet-thanksgiving-cfl-weekend/ ***** Dru Brown is out for the year. https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/article/redblacks-shut-down-qb-brown-for-rest-of-season/ https://3downnation.com/2025/10/09/ottawa-redblacks-shut-down-dru-brown-will-start-dustin-crum-against-alouettes-report/ ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****

same here. but sometimes when i get up early i am very slow.

A Canadian 78!!!

She was my first love and fascination, an exceptional person, yes. I have been lucky to find love since, and with someone who understands love does not die. Now it is great that there are just wonderful memories.

This lady appeared to be in the 50-60 age range, so if "Ella Speed" is her real name, her parents (he Speeds) would have named her "Ella", that would have been in the 60s-70s. It's kinda weird to do that, considering the date of Ella in the song...

Bob Dylan cites this record because of Ella Speed in his weird "autobiography".

Some special knowledge and preferences off today's mainstream? You never know ... In the discussion forum section of the website of a German news weekly there is a forumist (present sufficiently often to be noticed by others) whose forum nick is "curtisfuller". Anybody's guess how many of the average forumists will be wise to what's up with that?

Bobby Gordon is a lovely clarinet player. The track "Sweet & Lovely" demonstrates that point very well.

Looks like one that interests me!

Which matches mine. And this is where it started for me.

She must've been a wonderful person, Lon. It's clear in your words and memories of her. I'm glad you've found some level of happiness, though I'm sure she will always be in your heart as well.

For me it's an enjoyable listen, albeit one I don't spin that often. . And it sounds like they were having fun as well. Rundgren seems like he'd be a livelier front man than what the Cars were used to. I would've gone to see them had they come around where I was living at the time.
