Ok, you're right. My bad.

There was a thread on this, although I can't find it. My first reaction then was that this is one more reason why jazz should not be taught in college. I'll stand by that.

Larry's right, there are free apps that will bring malware. I use the cnet site to look at what's what. Don't know how that works for macs, though.

Browse around here and find one that sounds good to/for you: https://www.cnet.com/ You can get some that do the audio conversion on the fly, but if you want the video, you can get stuff to download that, and then keep the video but convert to a separate audio file. As fo iTunes, can't help you there, don't use it with any regularity.

Shibe Park seems to have been built to last for a while. otoh, Baker Bowl lasted 50+ years, it was just built so damn early. Seemed to have a drainage problem, though! I got lucky and found the Gene Mack book at a flea market for spare change. Anybody who digs old stadiums and hasn't seen it, here's a link. It is indeed a treat. https://behindthebag.net/2017/09/02/sketches-of-major-league-parks-by-gene-mack-from-the-1946-1947-sporting-news/ Did you say Polo Grounds?

I mean, they're all great players, but to be honest, so much of it sounds like reversed-engineered DJ music, like, hey, this is different becuase we got real people standing here playing parts, and I'm like, no it's not really different, it's just imitative, But what are they doing, really? Whatever solos they are could have been - and were - played on many many fusion records back when that was a thing. Maybe people are craving a fusion revival. But looking at the components, I just hear a "one from each column" type of esthetic, which, ok, that's a skill of its own, but I don't hear it ever transcending that, never really crossing the road as much as hitching a ride on it. I get that some people don't think that DJs are musicians, but here we go, if musicians are getting their shit from DJs, then what does that say about the musicality of the DJs? Quite a lot, I think, and I don't mean the hype club guys, I mean the guys who are artists about it. I'm glad that people are getting paid, seriously, just don't look to me for my money, that's all. Anyway, I suppose it's jazz in the way that everything else is jazz these days. I'm getting older and crankier literally every minute, so if this is what people want, hey, there it is! Me, I'll just sit here with my thumb up my ass and wait for the next Ursula Rucker joint to drop, whenever that might be, if ever. I do hope she's doing well.

We need this for tenor players!

Banjos are for Purgatory.

And now they're going to be hopped up on that weed! Run for your women, lock up your lives, the Canabians are coming!

I'll give even odds, better than evn, actually, that the voice-overs are to foil bootlegging. You can do that, or you can do the recurring momentary fades.

Fathead, James Clay, Don Wilkerson, Rudolph Johnson, Ray always had boss tenor players, always!

Petition for a recount! Take it all the way to the Supreme Court! Look for the hanging Fatheads!

I think it's messed up that he hadn't made it until now. He may not be who I go to when I want to listen to "jazz", but otoh, every Ray Charles record I like (which is not all of them, but very many) is dripping with jazzflavor. And you gotta wonder if we'd even have Horace Silver and/or the Jazz Messengers as they became known without Ray Charles very heavily in the mix.

per Wikipedia, Guitar Player has a circulation of 131,146. There's probably many more publications than just that one, but that's the one that immediately comes to mind. Down Beat's is not listed, but in 2009 it was claimed to be 70,000. That's the only one that has the Down Beat Hall Of Fame. http://www.artsjournal.com/jazzbeyondjazz/2009/07/on_magazines_circulation_figur.html # of Guitar Centers in the US = 269 # of Saxophone Centers in the US = 0 # of guitars you can buy through Guitar Center = 20,042 https://www.guitarcenter.com/Guitars.gc?typeAheadRedirect=true # of saxophones you can buy through Guitar Center = 152 https://www.guitarcenter.com/Saxophones.gc etc.

I remember reading about Baker Bowl in Philly, where both the Phillies played. Supposedly it got so bad that fouls landing on the shading (awning? not roof?) would cause debris to fall into the seats below.

I'm gonna need somebody to explain the whole Snarky Puppy thing to me... No, I take that back. I just don't care. Really just don't care. I've heard all the neo-soul and nu-jazz that they cop all of it from, so I get what it is that people who haven't think they're doing. Explanation would be a waste of time all concerned.

SBNation is a known quantity, not sure if I'd consider it "clickbait" in the generally accepted sense. Hell, if you read Grant Brigsbee or any number of sport-team fansites,, you read him/them through SBNation. Taste? That's subjective, to be sure, and any offense caused is regrettable. But if you even once laughed at the whole Generalissimo Francisco Franco is STILL dead thing on SNL back in the day (and I did, regularly, especially via Garret Morris' "news for the hearing impaired" bit), then this would be an variant of that, same tools, different car. I mean, if you can't laugh at death, what can you laugh at? It's the great equalizer!

What players from the last Red Sox-Dodgers World Series have to say about the 2018 matchup https://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2018/10/22/18008918/mlb-world-series-red-sox-dodgers

Interesting how so many of those things ended up with Prestige/OJC....

Nice, thanks!

Are they metric cups?

ok, here's this (and note that the publishing is now with Mills rather than Tempo...: The "Talking Bridge" became popular in pre-doo wop R&B, circa 1945-51. The posts highlight the best songs with "Talking Bridges." Duke Ellington discovered The Enchanters while he was touring Detroit, Michigan in 1956. He was so impressed with the group, he recorded them and released them to local DJs. This record never got play beyond Detroit. Excellent, rare Doo-Wop!! These Enchanters are not the same group as the one fronted by Garnet Mimms.

I do like his attitude, it's very fuquitous. Not enough of that these days.

Is they related to this? http://www.billybear4kids.com/animal/Z-BillysFriend.html
