A very cool morning. New pet Memphis is finally settled rather clumsily in the listening chair. Starting off with Charlie Haden Liberation Music Orchestra “Time/Life” Impulse cd

Yes, me too.

Nice compilation of covers

Good enough.

Was Ricky Ford in good energy?

Did he take that midnight train to Georgia?

America swirling at the drain.

Thyme flies! TRACK ONE - I like the Rhodes. Tune is familiar, but no specific ID comes to mind. TRACK TWO - Woody-ish, but not nearly as much fire. Sounds like early Kenny Garrett in spots, more on my phone than on the PC tho. Good rhythm section. Maybe a notch about the horns, imo. TRACK THREE - Tune up, trumpeter, this is a record!!!! All things considered, not particularly impressive, imo. TRACK FOUR - Not a favorite tune of mine )sorry, I'm NOT in heaven...), but this is competent. he trumpet sounds like a valve trombone in the lower register, which is both weird and fun! Not enjoying the piano that much, fluid but facile, Trumpeter has a good sense of pacing, I like that. TRACK FIVE - Wow, like the 70s, but digitally recorded! I kept waiting to start not liking this, but it never got there. I'm happy about that. It feels more organic than I ws expecting. This is good! TRACK SIX - Nope. Corny as fuck. Nope. TRACK SEVEN - Almost as corny as the one before. California? TRACK EIGHT - Retro 70s, ok, but what's the point? That they learned how to do that? Then mission accomplished! TRACK NINE - Well now! Gots a good groove, I would dance to it if I could dance, and I'm sure that other people have! Works for me! TRACK TEN - "Better Than Anything", other that as done by Irene Kral, I don't know that I like it that much. One of those songs for people who aren't really hip, if you know what I mean. Singer needs JUST a bit more attention to pitch. Guitarist is crafty! If it wasn't Bobby McFerren & Stanley Jordan then it could have turned ionto that with a littel voodo. TRACK ELEVEN - Jaws & Sweets. You saved the best for next-to-last! TRACK TWELVE - Jaws had a SOUND. Whoever this is has a tone. A tone takes practice. A SOUND that character. Make mine sound, although these days tone is all tghe rage. Oh god, there for a quick second, that sounded like Cewey...is this Joshua. Yeah, good tone, good tempo, but still...make mine SOUND. So yeah, some of this stuff flipped my Grump Switch, but not all of it did. Thanks for getting in there and doing it, appreciated!

Tonight at Hallwalls - Ricky Ford - tenor saxophone John Kordalewski - piano Jerome Harris - acoustic bass guitar Thurman Barker - drums Thurman has been a friend since 1966.

The Morning Show - new season on Apple+

Thanks, I have NYT subscription.

I don’t recall any of the Nagel Heyer CDs that I was serviced with or purchased being public domain, they were new recordings, although they repackaged and reissued some of them under new titles. I think they also created some compilations of different sessions. Look over the label listing at Discogs. I think the founder’s son ceased new recordings a few years after the founder died.

Very interesting piece, thanks for alerting us to it!

I used to be pretty blase about this album. Team ups in general don’t usually impress me much, and early on in my exploration of Jobim and first exposure to Regina. . .I just was not impressed. That has changed over time. I recently found an affordable copy of this sealed Japanese cd and am revisiting the session. Really enjoying it tonight! The system is really making this edition shine.

I have to admit, based on what showed up from Nagel Heyer (on iTunes etc.) I assumed it was just another one of the PD labels muddying the waters, and that still seems to be the majority of its newest releases. I only just found out that it does put out legitimate releases of new music. The one that caught my attention first was Marc Copland & Greg Osby – Round & Round. Copland and Osby also have a CD called Night Call, but I haven't heard that. I do wish there was a simple way to sort through their various releases and figure out what is a new release and what is repacked PD material.

Week 16 picks https://doorfliesopen.com/2025/09/18/cfl-beat-249/ My picks... Alouettes over Argonauts - The Argos are starting Jarret Doege. Stampeders over Lions - The Stamps are the better team, and BC will be missing their running back James Butler. Redblacks over Blue Bombers - The Bombers are starting Streveler. Tiger-Cats over Elks - The Elks could do it, but I expect the Ticats to prevail at home. ***** Playoff Scenarios https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/18/112th-grey-cup-playoff-scenarios-ticats-seek-playoff-berth/ ***** Game Notes https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/18/game-notes-what-you-need-to-know-ahead-of-week-16/ ***** Week 16 previews https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/18/4-storylines-to-watch-in-week-16/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/18/3-keys-to-victory-for-montreal-toronto-in-week-16/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/montreal-alouettes-6-7-week-16-preview-vs-toronto-argonauts-5-8-prediction-depth-chart-injuries-odds/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/18/3-keys-to-victory-for-calgary-bc-in-week-16/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/18/james-butler-out-for-lions-vs-stampeders/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/18/cfl-leading-rusher-james-butler-top-left-tackle-jarell-broxton-out-for-b-c-lions-against-stamps/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/game-preview-bc-lions-6-7-at-calgary-stampeders-8-4/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/bombers-quarterback-woes-grow-as-streveler-is-taking-1st-team-reps-even-after-his-last-game/ ***** Season review - Top 10 Dramatic Wins https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/18/10-most-dramatic-wins-of-the-2025-season-so-far/ ***** *****
