Was just about to send a message to the same effect! Check out this. It might be the same Danny Padmore: https://michaelbaldwin.bandcamp.com/track/night-dance

Looks like they put the fire out! How did we miss this one?

Good one. Here's another fireplace cover:

Here's the cover I know:

You've forgotten Scott Muni and Herb Oscar Anderson (HOA). They're both gone as well. I think Harrison replaced HOA.

Still at it. The Jazz Train starts year 34 today. Today's program is music recorded on January 21 (today) between 1927 (Fletcher Henderson) and 1958 (Jimmy Giuffre). Thanks to board member Salvatore Massaro who was there as my co-host in the beginning (1987) and to Stereojack who brought me in and served as my initial engineer. The show is aired and streamed live (details at top of thread) and should be available for a couple of weeks thereafter at the station's archive at https://www.wmbr.org

Chuck is right about gospel and Savoy. Some of the biggest sellers in the R&B genre for Savoy were as follows, with rankings within each year from the "Hot Chart" compiled by Big Al Pavlow in his "The R & B Book. A Disc-History of Rhythm & Blues." Based on this information, their biggest sellers in the pop field were likely Johnny Otis, Paul Williams, Varetta Dillard, and Nappy Brown. 1948: Hal Singer.

Alex Cora also faces possible discipline actions based on accusations against the Red Sox that occurred after Cora left the Astros. It's not clear if Cora faces any action yet due to activities when he was with the Astros. Presumably that will be clarified in time. It makes me wonder who will be managing the Red Sox this year.

Looks like there's a copy of the May 1954 issue available for sale here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gramophone-1954-03-05-07-08-March-May-July-August-Your-choice-discounts-/303116242661 Perhaps the seller would be willing to look to see if the article is in the May 1954 issue for you.

That’s the same reference that I had found while looking for information on Jackson.

Have you considered Gramophone? There's an archive, but it requires a subscription. Perhaps someone here has access.
