It's ok. She never really convinced me with her other styles either. BTW -only one cut on that soundcloud site appears to be from Krall. The others are from Brian Culbertson, whoever that is.

Structurally, this thing breaks all the rules - and works marvelously doing it.

That game was stressful enough as it was...

whoa...

Recently went through the whole Pacific Jazz catalog on CD (buttloads of extra material), and then the first 3-4 RCA LPs...now that I'm older and more scarred by life (aren't we all?) I think I "get" where Buddy was coming from with these bands and this music, even if I don't necessarily dig where he was going with it.music. Call it the "loving without necessarily liking" phase of my relationship with this music. All I know is that a lot of what once bugged me about this trip is now something that makes sense, especially the part about of Buddy not getting.a successful big band of his own until he was almost 50 (and after having floated around show business in various roles over the years). This guy was hell bent to carpe diem with this band for the rest of his life, and damned if he didn't. If you wanted to fuck around with the rest of Buddy Rich's life, even an hour or two of it, hey, your bad. 100% Increasingly, I come to both understand and respect that. And this:

Take a deep breath, Jim. You aren't seriously thinking the Rangers should throw Hamilton under the [trade deadline] bus now, are you? Not seriously, no. But as a fleeting thought...you gotta wonder just how much he would bring...especially if you don't think he can be resigned for whatever reason (money, years, desire to move on, who knows...). But that's just crazy talk borne of yet another case of him tweaking his back on something as basic as chasing a deep (but catchable) fly ball, missing it by no more than an inch, and then whipping a bullet directly to third base. Grrrrrr....

Again with Hamilton's back spasms...here's some crazy talk - see what we can get for him before the trade deadline. Extract maximum return or nothing at all, but... I know, that's nuts. But this guy....when he's on, hell yeah, but when he's not....grrrr....very frustrating.

Don't have those birds here, but I have been dive-bombed by both blue jays & mockingbirds for not realizing where their nests were. My bad, SORRY! As far as geese go, don't fuck with a goose. A goose don't play. Ducks you can mess with. Not geese.

I recently went through a cycle of rediscovery of many mid-50s thru mid 70s big bands for a month or two. It was fun.
