  3. Was Hooker "off the scene" for a while or was he just someplace I wasn't looking?
  4. Not acceptable. Them teenage syllables must be accurately understood to be understood.

  6. I demand an official reading of the lyrics.

  8. Per Wiki: The Second String Quartet by American composer Elliott Carter was completed in 1959. This composition for string quartet was commissioned by the Stanley String Quartet of the University of Michigan, who decided not to play it upon seeing the score, and received its first performance in 1960 by the Juilliard String Quartet. That's wild. Hey dude - write us a quartet. Here's the money. You got the score, right? Cool, let's see what we got here... Uhhhhh....never mind...
  9. William Schuman might not have been as "consistent" or "immaculate" a composer as Copland, but I find him infinitely more "American" in character. A little slop and a little swing, in his own way. And a good amount of some nice changes too And Elliott Carter...quantum. JSQ is totally in their zone here. Hell yeah for this record. RCA Red Seal indeed!
  10. I don't need Gioia's "honest broker" (LOL) endorsement. James' work has been speaking for itself for years!
  11. Dann squirrels.
  12. I suppose he's like Dylan for a/the next generation now. Old and older!
  13. Guaranteed legit. Pre-ordered. Between my high school band director's record collection and (at the same time) a massive catalog dump of so many things Liberty ending up in a Treasure City cutout bin (which was more than a bin...more like an expanse), Pacific Jazz was the first jazz label to which I developed an awareness of a label being a LABEL. It was a weird confluence of events, but hey... For that reason alone, this book has a bit of moral/karmic/resolution necessity for me to get. Glad to do so!
  14. Peter's fine, thankfully!
  15. A classic cover, imo, and a fun listen to boot! Their first two RCA albums were mono and have come into the digital realm sounding great in that format. One of my earliest memories of hearing classical music was my first-grase teacher sometimes playing it in class on one of those Stone Age school record players. The music kinda barked itself out of what speaker there was, which made it compelling, if ultimately boring (for a kid). I can imagine hearing that record like that, just barking it's way out of whatever king of speaker was around. It is a not unappealing thought!
  16. Ken Rosenthal sounds labor-friendly One meeting, that’s all it took. One meeting with his new San Francisco Giants superiors, and suddenly Rafael Devers no longer was Rafael Diva. Funny how that works when bosses communicate their wishes and do not simply assume a player with a $313.5 million contract should do whatever they want. People skills. They might be baseball’s new market inefficiency. The Boston Red Sox never shared their intentions with Devers when they were trying to sign free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman, prompting Devers to initially balk at becoming a DH and then outright refuse to move to first base. The Giants related to Devers that only four teams entered Tuesday with a worse OPS at first base, or something to that effect. And voila! There was Devers, all smiles at his introductory news conference, saying, “I am here to play wherever they want me to play.” Including first base, where he took grounders before his Giants debut. “I don’t think it’s going to be too difficult for him,” Giants manager Bob Melvin said. “More than anything, the fact he hasn’t played in the field this year, we have to take our time working him in. It’s a new position. We’ll take it day to day.” Devers is not above reproach for refusing to do the same for the Red Sox, no matter how much he believes they slighted him. But here’s rooting for this trade to work out for Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey, and not simply because he appears to have a better feel for players than Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow. Or even his predecessor, Farhan Zaidi, who made the same mistake with Brandon Crawford that Breslow did with Devers, failing to inform his incumbent shortstop that he was agreeing to terms with another, Carlos Correa. This deal is a referendum on teams that define players more as “dudes” — Posey’s word — than “assets.” A referendum on all the other fancy terms executives use, from flexibility to sustainability to efficiency, while hedging their bets and operating out of fear. A referendum on absorbing contracts that might not age well to do what every team should be trying to do — win.
