isn't mary a swingin' peach, and so nice? a few months ago during a late night (3am ) jam at small's, mary sat in at the steinway with the cats for perhaps an hour-luv her bopping!!!!!!!!!!!!

that earliest travelin' light as done by billie is hard to top.

free spot users, how much would you pay for the service? i'm thinking $10/ month would be very fair.

i love the beautiful german verve mood recording russ arranged and conducted with a huge string section featuring stan getz in the late 50s. and a similar warm mild offering for roy eldridge. russ could do strings second to few.

check out the gorgeous a capella version by the singers unlimited. you can find it on spotify, among other places.

Agreed. Bill Evans' Peace Piece rates highly, too... how could i forget peace piece????

beautiful sensitive artist!! michel is headlining newport this year.

one of mr. jones insights, and there are dozens here, was that billy eckstein was a superb valve trombonist, on the level of bob brookmeyer.

Will we thereby find the eternal secret of great melody? Well, no. But it's one of those questions that can get you somewhere if you don't take it too seriously." for me----the opening of blue danube is way up there, with love walked in, and it never entered my mind.

The band's last performance there will be held on Aug. 13. The hotel didn't respond to a request for comment. "I almost wanted to cry when I found out," said Francesco Sofia, the restaurant's owner. "More than anything else, this is a family thing. It's not a corporation. My kids work there, all the people who work there are like family. We don't treat them like a business." Neither he nor Mr. Giordano knew what will replace the space, also known as Club Cache. "They want something that can make them at least $2 million a year," Mr. Giordano said. "Frankly, we can't sell that much macaroni.""

alex r. may be pissing away a hundred million dollars. this seems to me a carrot for the yankees. http://deadspin.com/mlb-tells-the-union-whos-getting-suspended-announceme-974074611?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_facebook&utm_source=deadspin_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow "The Associated Press's sources say both MLB and the union are trying to reach as many agreements as possible to head off embarrassing, and potentially CBA-shattering grievance hearings. The drug policy indicates that suspensions become effective on the third business day after punishments are handed down, so that makes Friday the most likely day for a public announcement. But by all accounts, there's one player who has no intention of making a deal. Alex Rodriguez's lawyer said Monday he plans to fight any suspension, and it could get ugly.

This was at our second location, a stall the company opened in South Street Seaport to support the area while Hurricane Sandy repairs were happening. This group placed a huge order: three of this sandwich, four of another, three of the one that takes forever on the grill, two of the one that takes forever to assemble. Five or six milkshakes. The order came to just under $170.'

Even now, when at age 51 his image is still that of an heir handed an empire more on nepotism than merit, Brian France is the boss, the man responsible for making NASCAR's 10-year-old playoff system a part of the mainstream American sports landscape."

these teams are private enterprises with, for the most part, publicly funded, playpens. they do provide some jobs and help some bars and restaurants.
