A millionaire leader should be able to pay for better players?

That could be interesting...

RIP Whitey Herzog. They might still make 'em like that (Ron Washington?), but if they do, where are they?

A most graceful morph of the old West Coast Jazz into the new 👌

See's Candy must be quite the jazz lovers. They sponsored Riverwalk Jazz for years!

The Rangers have a AA team in Frisco (a northern suburb of Dallas) and a AAA team in Round Rock (an exurb of Austin) and they seem to have been doing fine for years now. I do know that the more rabid fans take an interest in the farm teams, because that's where the prospects are, either for the home team players or else as trade bait. Not everybody's into it at that level, but I do think that people who are are healthy for the game in general.

Do you speak from experience? It seems that some minor league teams are able to develop a good base of local support. Everybody knows what the deal is,players and fans alike. It's an entry-level gig and then the steps up. And bottom line - it's baseball. Merit-based promotions. For whatever that's worth

Interesting look at the state of minor league ownership today: https://theathletic.com/5408834/2024/04/15/minor-league-baseball-team-ownership-diamond-baseball-holdings/?source=thewindup_newsletter&campaign=9567258&userId=14372387 I really hope for a strong minor league system to live forever. Local interest outside of MLB/metro areas is key to the game keeping what little grassroots appeal it has left. Oh, the Rangers won a 1-0 game tonight, and it's only mid-April!!!!!!!!!

Same for those who are not all that familiar with how enslaving people think...

So, Roman Reigns?

Well, yeah. Nevertheless, "Sultry Serenade" was first, and by a few years

Did they get the ones with Cecil Taylor? Toshiko?

Burpin' Billy van de Toorr - Slow Burp To China - RECORDED LIVE!!!

I don't know his work in great detail myself. But every time he pops up he sound nice. On the Capitol Jazz Mosaic, some of his cuts are commercial-jazz ballads which don't do too much for me. But when he swings, he swings!

Have you checked out Eddie Miller? He was a good player who often made good records. But not always!

I would think that you can, but if you have in your mind that you're playing a tune you heard on a Duke record then credit Duke. Ideally one should credit both Ellington & Glenn, like it probably should have been done in the first place

I think your guess is in part incorrect? "Sultry Serenade"was from 1948. But Tyree Glenn played on it, and might well have been responsible for the core riff. But in typical Ellington fashion, he turned a riff into an orchestral piece. "How Could You Do A Thing Like That To Me" was not recorded until 1954 by Harry James with no lyrics and was credited solely to Glenn: Here's Tyree's own version from 1962(?) So if you want to look at "Sultry Serenade" as Ellington's orchestral expansion of a Tyree Glenn"l riff, you would be correct, just as you would be correct in giving Tyree Glenn credit for that riff when it became a stand-alone pop song. Who that lyricist was, I don't know and probably don't care.

Dinette Sett - Have A Seat!!!

It is indeed!

My apologies to Mr. Swartz.

Ambient Jazz? Black ECM?? More labels,please!!!

Mr. Schwartz's request has now been accommodated.

That's a good record.
