Arthur Blythe, Jazz Saxophonist Who Mixed Sultry and Strident, Dies at 76 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/29/arts/music/arthur-blythe-jazz-saxophonist-dies-at-76.html?emc=edit_th_20170330&nl=todaysheadlines&nlid=25913738&_r=0&mtrref=mail.airmail.net&gwh=6717FFB5FADEBC3FC9961EE4B65CC7DB&gwt=pay Wow, Sultry and Strident! Combined! They seem to think that Arthur Blythe was the Reese's Cups of Jazz. Still not ever on CD, correct?

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/29/arts/william-powell-anarchist-cookbook-writer-dies.html Mr. Powell never revised the book or wrote a sequel, but his original stayed in print, through Lyle Stuart and its successor company, Barricade Books, and most recently by Delta Press. Eventually, he renounced the book. In 2000, he posted a statement to that effect on Amazon.com. And later, in 2013, he expressed his regret in an article he wrote for The Guardian. He chose a career as a teacher, not a revolutionary, specializing in working on behalf of children with special needs.

Six year extension http://www.lonestarball.com/2017/3/30/15124168/rangers-officially-sign-rougned-odor-to-a-6-year-extension Let's see how that goes.

Perhaps not universally beloved, but meets the criteria, and will have merit for people looking for that in this type of thing.

A run through the various Material/Bill Laswell outputs will yield literally tons of, uh...material...that meet these criteria. This one's a favorite.

Seriously?

I'm not always one to naturally bond with Hindemith, but these renditions are pretty bondable. Or maybe it's just my cello ear-fetish.

History is written by the winners, isn't that what they say?

This is how mythology gets created and why it is necessary. Lives that are deleted by physical history refuse to be denied their existence.

It's like an Etta Jones record only with Etta James...was this intended to be concocted as a ruse to unsuspecting music audiences everywhere?

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/27/nyregion/paul-novograd-dead-ran-claremont-riding-academy-in-manhattan.html Claremont’s sudden closing left New Yorkers without what had been billed as the oldest continuously operating stable in New York City and Manhattan’s oldest riding school and last public livery. Claremont had been home to countless horses since it opened in 1892 on the Upper West Side, had trained generations of riders in its arena, and had supplied equine cast members to the Metropolitan Opera and other cultural institutions. Riders boarded their mounts in stalls that rented for hundreds of dollars, or what people in other cities would pay for apartments. Horses could also be rented for upward of $55 an hour, to hoof it one block north and two blocks west from the Claremont stables, at 175 West 89th Street, to Central Park’s four-and-a-quarter-mile bridle path. Mr. Novograd saw the deterioration of that path — caused by joggers, bicyclists and others who rediscovered the park after it was rehabilitated — as one reason for the decline in ridership that led him to his painful decision to close Claremont. “Even if the Parks Department wanted to make it horses only, it’s just too inviting to pedestrians and dirt bikers and people throwing Frisbees and people pushing strollers, and it’s a zoo out there,” Mr. Novograd told WNYC radio in 2007. “And our horses are, thank you, just too polite for zoos.”

Green, 6 feet 5 inches and thickset, carried a tough guy’s commanding demeanor through a long career as a player, manager and team executive. When he took the 1980 Phillies to the championship with players like Steve Carlton, Mike Schmidt and Greg Luzinski, it was the franchise’s first World Series title. But he was not very popular for various reasons, among them his imposing rules and discipline that rankled veterans. “We hated him,” catcher Bob Boone said, according to Philly.com. “He was driving us crazy. But it was a relationship that worked.”

Man, so much pleasure...RIP, and sunshine put in it.

Hey, I met Joe Henderson's wife at the bar at Sweet Basil. She was really nice and chatty (to say nothing of being drop-dead gorgeous), and I was like, whoa, never say never, and then I found out that she was Joe's wife, and that she was there to do what you might expect Joe Henderson's wife to be at his gig for, keep everything on the rails and/or between the lines, and talk about a bubble burst...not a Joe Henderson bubble though, more like the "hey, I must not be that much of a geek, this hot adult woman is talking to me like I'm normal" bubble. So much for bubbles!

Do you order directly from them? You might try Amazon instead, they do well.

Contemporary/Classic Masters. CRS Master Recordings CD 9255 Pieces by Elliot Carter, John Russo, Francois Deveinne, Robert Dusek, John Davison, David Hush, & Carl Harrison. All of the compositions (and all of the composers except Carter, and his piece is an item dating from 1940) are new to me. So far, nothing sucks. But nothing really stands out either.
