Donald Clarke - Billie Holliday:Wishing zon The Moon https://share.google/mLHaof3scG4hDuReS Accept no substitutes!

What was the rock-and-roll movie that Thader performed in?

Going into the weekend with this set: First up: Mostly recorded in 1968, with one session in January 1969. I LOL-ed at a mention in the liner notes that noted that the JSQ was specifically asked to NOT play Beethoven in their earlier days, and were at least once BOOED when they actually did! By this time, though, they had matured a bit, and can't imagine anybody booing this.

In Arlen, the flags are at half-mast. RIP

Yeah, that's a good book. I very much appreciated the musical analyses, but also the non-musical parts. Unless you're one of those types that freezes up at the mere sight of a staff, it's still kind of a go=to book in my mind.

Jeanna Gray - It Feels Good (But In A Good Way)!!!

That's a weird record...a lot less CTI-ish than I was expecting. More like a really good club band, One of the earliest CTIs though, right?

I don't do Apple, but if they're offering lossless files, I would take take that deal! Waiting for the French Sony CDs to come at an affordable price might take a while, and waiting for Sony Classical is...how long are you planning on living? But this set of music...I have other sets, and it's one of those things where there are differences, but there is not "better".

Storrs Neevle - Your Teeth Are Bothering Me

I just ripped that French 2-CD set and combined everything into one folder. Much to my delight, the six quartets can then be burnt into thee discs of two quartets each, in order, and each of a respectable or better duration: 1-2 = 59:05 3-4 = 37:55 5-6 = 60:27 Has Testament or somebody like them issued these? Even if they have, CBS Sony really has a gap here, imo. Pretty remarkable performances.

Not at all a fan of the music, but certainly a hoot as a Pop Culture figure. RIP, and lay off the bats up there!

Yeah, Fogarty had a hot string of radio hits, his band left him, and he had exactly one hit after. I get that he feels like he got screwed, but objectively, he got stuck with the deal he made and he was kinda over before he had leverage to redo terms. Welcome to the record business. He wasn't the first and he won't be the last. Besides, CCR...good to hear on the oldies radio, but geez, who still listens to that? Ever? Take me out coach, I'm not ready to play.

Hey, Zaentz did business with Mingus...

The say they'll be selling their inventory to wholesalers. Where are the likely destinations for megabuttloads of all those micro-sized specialty classical labels? With the lack of old-school record stores, are their cutout bins left anywhere?

So long, friend.

I said it backwards, sorry. I meant that he probably had MORE respect for real players like Tjader than he would have had for the likes of Fogerty.

I'm not sure that Zaentz had the same level of respect for old-school musicians like Tjader as he did for Rock Star Cash Cows like Fogerty.

I've watched a few Brewers games lately and might start watching regularly-ish. I'm sending a vibe developing!

Did somebody say Orlando Cepeda?

Hangin' with Sam. RIP

Plus they actually COULD play R&B?

Well, the joke was supposed to be that "Is he gonna be playing that old shit" was meant to answer with WHICH old shit? But it turns out that the actual answer is ALL of them! And that's how it should be, he's self-validating ALL of it, so hell yeah, although I do wish he would revisit "I Thought It Was You" in some fashion.
