Philip Catherine, Paulo Morello & Sven Faller - Manoir de mes Reves (Enja)

April 25 Bobbi Humphrey - 1950 https://soultracks.com/birthday-bobbi-humphrey-flute/

Just playing thisexcellent set. Only thing I dislike is the cheap looking artwork which gives you the impression you’re buying one of those sucky PD label compilation. But these are excellent

Shazam definitely could be working.

Comments for the sound on the Mal Waldron and Bill Evans aren’t good as well. Glad I’ve ordered the Mal Waldron on cd. I already expected it.

playing now: the Illusions session

Well our program is pretty stacked with visits to: the Colloseum, Saint Peter’s Cathedral, The Sistine Chapel, the Pantheon, Castle Saint Angelo, Galleria Borghese and virtually every monument we stumble upon on or way between these world wonders. But come on guys, there is ALWAYS time to visit a record shop. That is at least what I am going to tell my wife

Duke Ellington ‎– Never No Lament: The Blanton-Webster Band, 1940-1942 3CD Box set Outer sleeve, CD sleeves, booklet and CDs all M- (played once). $35 shipped U.S.

This, the Vogue box and a couple others do me.

The sound is lacking, but it is still new Coltrane to my ears.

I've enjoyed...

Nothing more than an observation, but "downtown" always seemed to me to be a mostly "white" thing. Not exclusively, mostly. Both physically and esthetically.

I hope the photographer wasn't paid too much for this one.

These bring back pleasant memories:

Somebody you know must have a smartphone with Shazam loaded. Ask around. Or download it yourself if you have a smartphone. It's very likely to id the track title, probably album too.

Whoa... ... and hard disagree with the rule that umps used to judge this a base hit. If the ball had fallen out of Gilbert's shirt and hit the ground, OK, but he retained control, weird as the circumstances may have been. How is this different from a ball hitting a fielder in the chest or elsewhere, and then he still catches it in his glove or hand? And if it's ruled a hit, why, with runners on first and third, did the umps advance the runner on first but kept the runner on third where he was? According to the article below, a ball that gets caught in a player's or coach's uniform is considered "out of play." So then how does this turn into a single? Why Gilbert's shirt catch was ruled a hit Obviously not a situation MLB is likely to encounter again any time soon, if ever, but still seems like a wrong outcome to me, and it did affect the game--A's went on to score two runs that innning, though Mariners ultimately prevailed in a 5-4 walkoff.

Agreed that it's a great way of putting it, but for me, I'd need a far better seat for this particular game. But, to each his own.

I had been unaware that there was a new Leon Thomas on the scene.

Now listening to disc 9 of the Big Band V-Disc set. I have to admit that the Sam Donahue band is a bit of a revelation. Really good classic swing stuff.
