  1. Thank you, Ken, and best wishes for the New Year.
  2. John Madden, a legendary figure known to one generation as a Hall of Fame coach, another generation as the sport’s greatest announcer, and yet another generation for the video game that bears his name, has died at the age of 85. The NFL announced Madden’s passing today. Madden’s influence on the sport of football is impossible to overstate. He was the youngest head coach in pro football when Al Davis hired him to coach the Oakland Raiders, and he led them to a Super Bowl title while having so much success that he still has the all-time highest winning percentage among all coaches who won at least 100 games.
  3. My favorite Bunky.
  4. Enjoy on Spotify.
  5. I don't think any songs "need to be rested". Unimaginative arrangements and performances of standards should be banned, however.
  6. Klaus Suonsaari, drums; Scott Wendholt, flugelhorn, trumpet; Scott Robinson, tenor & soprano sax, flute; Renee Rosnes, piano; Steve Nelson, vibes; Ray Drummond, bass. Brooklyn, March 8, 1994. Soul Note 121274-2.
  7. Well, the article does mention that "Jonathan Lamb described his father's Covid infection as "a spiritual attack from the enemy" to "take down" Marcus Lamb."
  8. From Mosaic: Over 2500 black and white and 300 color photographs by Francis Wolff have been scanned and now are on display on our website and available to license. Many of these photos remain unpublished.
  9. NBC News reports: Anti-vaccine Christian broadcaster Marcus Lamb dies at 64 after contracting Covid…In recent months, a number of prominent anti-vaccination Christian broadcasters have died from Covid-19. Conservative radio hosts Dick Farrell, Phil Valentine and Marc Bernier, who were unvaccinated, all died after they contracted Covid.
  10. Lake has a special affinity with Eric Dolphy. Two of my favorite albums:
  11. What's more, ALS reportedly is the first jazz LP of the 1960s to achieve platinum certification by reaching one million album sales.
  12. Streaming on Spotify. Also available for download on Amazon and other sites.
  13. Add Jacob Garchik to the list.
  14. "learned"?
  15. I wasn't aware of this fact. From an NPR story in 2015: Henderson ended up treating the jazz great Thelonious Monk as a patient, when the latter was struggling with his mental health. "They really didn't know what to do with this gentleman. He gave them a fit," Henderson says. "After they found out that I knew who he was, they allowed me to take him to his gigs. It was just a little bizarre; that's the best way I can put it."
  16. Yeah, I can see how you'd make that assumption. However, consider this photo from the same shoot: Few, if any, therapists serve their patients ice cream. The description provided for the 1961 photo by Ted Williams you posted reads, "American jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk resting during an interview."
  17. Thanks to all who replied, except those on my ignore list, of course.
  18. Howdy folks. I hope you're all doing well. I have a question that arose while I was cataloging some digital music. Specifically, I added the 1957 recording for Prestige entitled Olio. Different sources credit this date to Thad Jones, while other releases assign no leadership, listing all the participants (Thad Jones, Frank Wess, Teddy Charles, Mal Waldron, Doug Watkins, Elvin Jones) as displayed on the cover. Checking out jazzdisco.org, this title along with 20 others is credited to The Prestige All Stars. Some of these albums bear the TPAS name on the cover or label, like Wheelin' & Dealin', All Day/Night Long, Earthy, etc., but others like Olio do not. I'm curious as to how you might organize these titles in your collection. Would they be better placed under one artist's name, under various artists, or put them all together under TPAS as the Jazz Discography Project team does. I understand there's probably no definitive answer to this question, but I'm interested in others' opinions, especially the obsessive-compulsives among us. Thanks in advance.
  19. Here's an easier link metheny review Great to you see you post here, CJ.
  20. Congratulations, Pim. My advice is to continue playing the music you exposed the baby to in utero. The music will be familiar, while the sound will be improved given the new listening environment. Of course, don't be surprised if the baby's first words are, "Is that a remaster?"
