A delightful coolness has settled in over night. I slept well. Always a nice experience.

Manchester Originals vs the Northern Superchargers in the Hundred. These teams have new owners, and next year will probably have new names. Originals won both women's and men's games on the day, the latter by some distance. Beautiful weather and a large crowd.

That VeeJay session is really great, I think Frank Wess gets the cigar here.

I get the "sameness" thing...but lately it seems to me that it's a kind of cold, dead-eyed stare that dares you to blink first. Like, ok, this is what I DO, dammit. And I find myself more and more blinking first.

The original liner notes (by Frank London Brown https://www.discogs.com/artist/2645584-Frank-London-Brown) are some of the truest musings on "black blue collar jazz" that I know of. Oh yeah = Tootie Heath on drums!

Hindemith's work has so much sameyness. But the Fourth Quartet, Op. 22, stands way above the crowd. (Juilliard for me too.) My other Hindemith standouts include the violin and piano concertos from the Kammermusik series and the astoundingly well-built 1940 Cello Concerto.

Will give it a listen, thanks for the suggestion. Think I only have him as a sideman here & there (but not on Dolphy's Here & There).

Night Always Comes - Netflix

Just back from Varda's Le bonheur. I have to admit, I didn't care for it very much. On top of everything else, the Mozart-based soundtrack was so loud and overwhelming at many points throughout the film. In next couple of days I plan on catching Tarkovsky's Solaris. I have seen it before but not in a theatre, and I think it's worth experiencing it that way.

I don't know that too many people are. It's popped up a few times under different guides, but AFAIK never on its own terms. It's s a pity, really. A very... vernacular- heavy session! Ok, my bad. It has been reissued on CD, and remains available!

not familiar with the Green LP.

It's just one cut with Cannonball, the last cut on Side Two, from IIRC, a Paul Chambers Vee Jay side (it's in the Mosaic). The first two on Side Two are from that great Benny Green Vee Jay album. I mean hey - Gene Ammons, Frank Foster, AND Frank Wess! (off the record...anybody who doesn't like Gene Ammons has something wrong with them...)

I got a tracking number. As my grandfather would say "won't be long now said the cat whose tail got caught in the lawn mower." (He had his own way with words).

Daniel Rosenboom - Book of Storms

IIRC, the music of Cannonball featured a totally different band (no Dolphy) and the Dolphy tracks are, of course, from the FM sessions.

That session with Cannonball exists?
