For a second, it looked like Adolis was reverting to Ranger form. Fortunately he got that out of his system in the nick of time.⁷ It was mostly a day for aces to ace. Love it when that happens.

Obvious key for Game 2 is going to be the Sox making Rodon work and work to get him out of the game and get into the Yankee bullpen. For the Sox and Cubbies sake, I do like the odds in 3 game post-season playoffs for the game 1 winner to advance. No wonder Cora rode Crochet and Chapman so hard.

I believe that @HutchFan, @mjazzg and @clifford_thornton were enthusiastic about this record which sparked my interest. Listened, bought en now listening again. I could confirm this is a great record. Lots of Coltrane influence but enough authenticity to make it interesting and a great band too!

Happy with my new vinyl storage which shows the artwork very nicely. Also able to store some more: this one contains everything up to the letter L

Dave Holland: Ones All. Intuition Music INT 2148 2 [US 1995]

A nice cool morning. Starting off with another listen to Mary Halvorson “About Ghosts” Nonesuch cd. Not bowled over by her work, but an interesting listen, with great players.

October 1 Dave Holland - 1946 Memories: Dave Holland was at the Göttingen 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 ‘Guitar’ 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?

I remember him with Kid Creole & the Coconuts. They had some good albums.

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)

O’Gallagher has always been an interesting player/composer for me. I’m 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/ *****
