Chet Baker or George Coleman or both??

C.C. Sabathia pitches another complete game as the Brewers defeat San Francisco 9 - 1. He only hit a double tonight instead of a home run. Cubs lost.

Being delivered to me today. I remember the vinyl (long gone to Japan or someplace, can't remember) fondly.

His playing is great on the Classical Jazz Quartet CDs.

The home-field advantage is a terrible gimmick. Baseball is supposed to be the ultimate team sport, but home-field advantage goes to the league that does better in an exhibition game with players that by definition aren't going to have any chemistry. Stupid idea. I agree. Very stupid.

Get the Ortega if you don't have it.

Sabathia hits home run, pitches complete game, Brewers defeat Reds 3 - 2. Hang in there Brewers.

That's a wonderful collection, too, as is "Violin, Play the Blues for Me," a collection of performances by African American fiddlers. Frankly, there isn't a single disc on Old Hat that you should pass on. I have them all, and I love them. They're not as broad in their focus as labels like Dust-To-Digital or Sublime Frequences, but like those labels, everything they release is worth checking out. Same for me.

Ben Sheets 10 - 1. Not that any of you give a crap.

As somebody (?who) once said - the original's still the greatest. I liked the ladies with big hats thread. The rest are "imitators".

I'm going to see Wall-E instead tomorrow.

Perhaps you heard it from me, as I posted that date when I saw it on the Amazon listing. Well - there you go.

I heard / read Aug. 19 for the Bolton. Don't know how reliable that is.

I have all 4. The Coleman is my favorite. All of the others are 2 CD sets at the same price. They're all better than good. The Monk is probably my 2nd choice. Thanks for your perspective. They've never charged tax on an internet order before & $8 shipping (higher than previous sets) seemed steep. I'll think it over.

Since I have 2 posters on "ignore" (guess which 2), this seems mostly like the usual bullshit. Of course, I could be wrong, & this ignored stuff will all change the course of human discourse. I can live without it. What a relief!!

The 2008 SFJC 2 CD set is supposed to come out this summer. The current pre-order price is $29.75 + $8.00 shipping + tax (apparently being charged to any & all locations). This brings the pre-order price to over $40. When it comes out at the "regular" price (presumably $35), that'll bring the cost to over $45. Comments!?!? I have all of the previous sets, but this seems a bit much to me. Admittedly, the music is yet to be heard.

Wow! Enjoy! MG Thanks! $20 - but what the hell.

This may have been mentioned elsewhere, but "coming soon" is a Braxton, Milford Graves, William Parker trio CD.

Buika: Nina De Fuego John Patton: Soul Connection Wadada Leo Smith: Tabligh

I thought this was going to be about McCabe & Mrs. Miller. Never mind.

A really nice CD that George Lewis is on is Dutch Masters. Just listened to it today.

Yep - I hope Bruno's O.K..
