Joey is a kid's name and it's not nice to pick on children.

A vicious reaction is when a customer follows the band out to the parking lot to tell them to get their shit together or else get ready for an asswhipping because they work hard all week and didn't pay their money to hear some raggedyass bullshit. That's a vicious reaction, although if we're being realistic, the asswhipping was only threatened, not actually delivered.

It's in the Discogs zoo. Carpe diem! Eddie Baccus is the organist that led that totally cool LP for Mercury back in the day that was produced by RRK.

This is the one Joe Lovano record that made a guy impact for me: Eddie Baccus!!!! https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/3276396

He can play and he's alive. Gives him an advantage right there!

Apple!

Mark Helias is certainly a master, but so is Corey Seager. And he had a pretty good game this afternoon! But don't be fooled - it's baseball and bass playing, so direct comparisons are really kinda silly.

Pretty sure that Savoy Jazz was running/distributing Muse towards the end?

So...are steaks better than Venetian blinds? Are clothespins better than lightbulbs? Are aquariums better than grocery stores? Are day games better than banjo picks?

You would have, if only to tell the tale!

There was that run where a lot of M-Base players were showing up on non M-Base type records...I kept waiting for it to become a 60s Blue Note type scene but that never happened, for whatever reason. But IIRC, Don Sickler was shepherding that activity?

Too bad you missed the Cubs/Rangers game at Wrigley this afternoon!

Carmella Bloat and The Fingerplugs - Let Me Tell You How We Know How To Do It!!!

Damn these are good. Damn good.

The last days of Muse are not lacking for interesting artist/production credits!

Jerry Clower!

James Moody was a baaaaaaaaaad man!

Sonny Woods - Good Morning, Manuela!!!

Yes, very much. I believe I made some a few years ago. A marvelous collection indeed!

Frisky!

Get your Steve Gadd chops together!

Major League Cricket (T20) begins in the US on June 12. We'll be having plenty of matches in Grand Prairie, and I definitively plan on going to one, probably more. It's a great way to spend an evening! https://www.majorleaguecricket.com/news/187

Sucks about Profar, but maybe that puts last year's "breakout season" with the Padres in perspective?
