Oh shit, now it’s rattling around in my head now too!!! 😜

Yeah, Jim, I though this was something you’d originated. And it’s damn true too!!!

I guess I’m also more of bison guy.

Registered, and looking forward to this!

I’ve had goat 2-3 (maybe 4?) times since I’ve been here in DC. Separate BBQ and Indian restaurants both spring to mind, maybe Ethiopian too? Did you know that there are more Ethiopian restaurants here in DC than anywhere else in the entire US? — and more actual Ethiopians (and Eritreans*) in the greater DC metro — almost a quarter million!! — than anywhere else on the planet other than Ethiopia (and Eritrea*). *Eritrea and Ethiopia most decidedly are not the same — but are quite closely related, ethnically but not culturally (or is that culturally but not ethnically? — I forget). Anyway, don’t ever mix them up, as they’re not interchangeable (no matter how similar they are). Back to goat — I’ve tried it 5-6 times in my entire life, but only with mixed success. Sometimes ‘good’ — but just as often, not.

No goats in our neck of the city, I’m afraid.

Gack!! Hate the stuff. My wife loves the spicy variety, her daily juice with breakfast, and she has double on the weekends. I just can’t do it.

Just got a notice that The Bastards have vol 4 just in... https://www.dustygroove.com/item/971474

Is this perhaps a jazz of the future? Xenochrony at its finest! — or is it?

Amen!!

Watching this now, having DVR’d it in the wee hours last night here in DC from one of our PBS stations. Would that there were one of these docs for all of the top 15-20 “jazz cities” in the entire US!

I’m way out of my depth when it comes to Trane releases, but given the apparent sound quality of this upload, how hasn’t this been officially released? (Or has it? - which I could easily be unaware of.)

Not sure if this ‘@‘ reference will summon you (@Jim Alfredson) because of the space in your user ID (or if someone knows how else I can do that, please educate me). Jim, I just saw you’d posted a nice (lengthy) reply to a brand new board member in the Hammond zone — your first post in months, and one of very few in the last year. How ya doing, man? All things considered, I mean (the world has been in a tough place for a solid year, no less Michigan for damn sure). How’s your beautiful family? I’m sure I’m not alone in hoping you and everyone in your sphere are well. How’s about a little check-in? — so I can stop worrying about you, as I’ve occasionally done for the last 6 months or so (when first I realized we hadn’t heard much from you in ages). We’re here for you, man, if life’s been dealing’ a few rough hands. Hoping like the devil that all’s ok, or at least “pretty much ok”, as I said before, all things considered. Much love to you, and yours. — Tom

This is the only 2016 release I’m seeing on Discogs, fwiw. Is this the one you’re looking for? https://www.discogs.com/Joyce-Anos-80/release/9406018

What is the disc more specifically? — artist and title.

Children, and buildings too... https://www.ksl.com/article/32424611/vernal-bank-built-by-bricks-sent-through-the-mail-mdash-partly-true

Haven’t read the articles yet, but I have seen various articles and reports over the years that the parts of the brain related to music (incl. singing) are somewhat distinct from those associated with both speech, and also memory. Meaning not only are speech and singing distinct (controlled by different parts), but musical memory is distinct from other kinds of memory. IIRC, this is sometimes evident in some Alzheimer’s patients, but also in some patients with very specific kinds of brain injuries otherwise. Music therapy seems to be a very positive thing among those who had significant musical skills and/or experiences in their earlier decades. I would imagine Tony’s musical gifts will be at least in some evidence (and benefit to him) for his remaining years.

Are video game themes the new ‘standards’?

One possible future for jazz... Surely just one of MANY possible futures. So then I guess let’s make this the official “what the hell are the kids doing to jazz now??” thread...

Speaking of obscure players on Mal Waldron albums — I think trombonist Hermann Breuer from Moods is really one of THE finest horn-players on any post-1967 Mal record you can think of. That tone!! Aggressive, exciting, and so very ‘in your face’. About the only other example I know, of similarly dark-sounding trombone playing that’s that intense, is Garnett Brown on Booker Ervin’s Heavy!!! (1966). I don’t suppose anyone knows of any other similar examples of Hermann Breuer’s playing that isn’t buried in a really big ensemble. He seems to only be on well less than a dozen albums when last I did a deep internet search 10 years ago, but at that time I never did see anything where he was but one of 3 horns in a front-line.

Aha, right you are! I’ve never been a fan of the Blackhawk albums, and haven’t owned copies in 20 years. But a little googling confirms it...

I wonder if Tyson ever commented specifically about her image being on the cover for Sorcerer — anyone know? (Either contemporaneously, or years later.) I know the whole bit about Miles’ reaction to seeing the white women on the cover of Miles Ahead, and Frances then being on the covers of Someday My Prince Will Come and E.S.P. (am I forgetting another one with Cicely? — I don’t think so, but there were a lot of alternate covers issued in various countries over the years, from what I gather from Discogs). Then that’s Betty Mabry on the cover of Filles De Kilimanjaro.

No hard limit in terms of how far back in time (from today), though if I'd put "20 years" in the title, that would stretch back too deeply into the " Patrick Roques" era in BN reissues. But I just saw a new BN cover (for a new LP reissue of this session) -- that was, well, totally new to me... And similarly, there's this semi-recent Duke Pearson LP reissue of material that (to the best of my knowledge) never came out in the LP era (and never had "classic-era"-looking BN cover-art... What others can we collectively think of? DOESN'T have to be limited to Blue Note -- but anything "interesting" qualifies (whatever catches/caught your eye)... So then, NEW reissues (of previously issued material), with NEW and notable cover-art (or that tries to harken back to previous eras).

How has there still never been a Billy Harper Blue Note leader-date?? He was on Lee Morgan’s last Blue Note session, and a couple other BN dates too. He’s a MONSTER player (and composer too) — still is!! — so you’d think it would be a no-brainer?!?!

That Hutch & Land track is a real corker! It can also be found (in full) on the 2nd disc of this 2CD set (which is probably more of a pain in ass to find, but if you ever happen stumble on one -- it's a really great compilation, as is the entire series of CD's)... https://www.discogs.com/Various-Spiritual-Jazz-Volume-4-Americans-In-Europe/release/4715837 https://hardwax.com/25200/various-artists/spiritual-jazz-4-americans-in-europe/ Looks like you can buy a download of just that one track too, couple different sources too matter of fact... https://spiritualjazz.bandcamp.com/album/spiritual-jazz-4-americans-in-europe https://spiritualjazz.bandcamp.com/track/the-creators https://www.amazon.com/The-Creators/dp/B00B4872HQ Here's the whole thing on YouTube, if you just want to give it a spin (you can also listen to the whole thing from the bandcamp links too, iirc)...
