2007 Connoisseur CD Excellent album. I'm looking forward to the upcoming Tone Poet and his new album which is due out in September.

I have listened to the jazzier side of Eddie, and I did see him once in concert (Tri-C JazzFest)--very positive reactions to both. A talented and fun man...RIP.

Ok, I'm not about to claim that the Carter set is anything even remotely like "the only Carter Quartets set you'll ever need" or anything like that. But it's still a good rewarding listen if you can get past the horrid (imo) early-digital sound. The group had a history with Carter, and they worked with him directly on these recordings. So...attention should be paid, imo. Summer With The Juilliard String Quartet will be concluding with the Ergo collection of the Hindemith Quartets. Totally uncharted territory for me, should be fun!

I kinda really liked him when he was a rowdyass tenor player. Since then, not so much. Oh well. No disputing the virtuosity.

I'm not surprised that he's not touring. He's 81 and at this point has likely made a bunch of money during his "smooth jazz" days.

Highly recommended. Interviews with ballplayers whose cards I had in 1959.

Does Tina Brooks' estate get a cut of the sale price?

Oh MY!!!!

Wow. That one has not seen individual CD reissue that I'm aware of, but it is part of the Hutcherson Mosaic Select, which rounds up his best later BN albums. Glad I grabbed that when it came out.

RIP to a great master.

👍 - this vinyl is on my shelf ...

https://www.discogs.com/release/15117741-Bernhard-Hofstötter-Sylvius-Leopold-Weiss-Dresden-Moskau-Lute-Music-By-Lautenmusik-von-Sylvius-Leop Absolutely stunning! Some of the most fascinating virtuosic lute music I ever heard.

RIP I listen to Latin Roots every week on WBAI, and Eddie would be calling up Felipe Luciano and joke with him for more than a half hour on the air. Sad news.

RIP, sad loss. I think I first heard him on a Taj Mahal album. Ain't gwine whistle Dixie (any mo') (live) has long been a favorite tune.

A fun, florid set.

Disc 1

RIP - great loss for the tuba masters quartet that graced that Taj Mahal album.

FWIW It stayed in print long after Clark's other BNs. Not at all hard to find in a good record store over the years.

Week 10 picks https://doorfliesopen.com/2025/08/07/cfl-beat-243/ https://3downnation.com/2025/08/07/3downnation-cfl-picks-straight-up-against-the-spread-week-10/ https://pifflespodcast.com/blog/piffles-picks-week-10-2025/ My picks... This week's lineup is very difficult. If I were betting money, I would skip this week. Tiger-Cats over Lions - The Ticats have won six straight, and they are at home. Alouettes over Elks - The Als are missing their best players due to injury, while the Elks are getting better. But I won't pick a team both on a losing streak and on the road. Argos over Redblacks - I don't have confidence in either team, so I will go with the home team. Stampeders over Blue Bombers - Both Adams and Collaros will start, with the Stamps at home. No way would I pick Calgary if Adams weren't playing. ***** Week 10 previews https://www.cfl.ca/2025/08/07/4-storylines-to-watch-in-week-10/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/bc-lions-3-5-week-10-preview-vs-hamilton-tiger-cats-6-2-prediction-depth-chart-injuries-odds/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-schedule-today-august-7th-2025-bc-lions-vs-hamilton-tiger-cats-tv-channels-live-stream-odds/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/juggernaut-hamilton-tiger-cats-seek-seventh-straight-victory-in-battle-vs-bc-lions-on-tsn-1.2343602 https://www.cfl.ca/2025/08/07/3-keys-to-victory-for-edmonton-montreal-in-week-10/ https://3downnation.com/2025/08/07/montreal-alouettes-missing-all-cfl-db-marc-antoine-dequoy-ol-justin-lawrence-against-elks/
