T.D.

+1. Amazing career. I think Tommy Flanagan voiced the above (emphasis added) on Out of the Afternoon.

Thanks for the link. Always enjoyed his session work a lot and wondered why he wasn't better known. Never heard of anything as a leader, so I researched his bio online some years ago.

RIP, but what a run he had. Lou used to (I'm thinking 1990s) call in to Tony Paige at "WFAN sports radio" in NYC and have some great conversations. Sadly, audio seems to have vanished from the interwebs, just a few short transcripts remain. IIRC one episode featured (among other things) recollections of the 1954 "The Catch" World Series game that he attended at the Polo Grounds. The above "sammich" link doesn't work for me either. I'd gotten the impression the original thread disappeared years ago. You might be able to find later posts that quote it, but it'd be a big effort.

I'm going to "uptown" Kingston today for another event (Tubby's opens @ 4) and will try to purchase a ticket in person.

Pretty common around here. You put a ticket in your cart, push the button to "Pay", and you have to either download an app or establish an account, both of which AFAICT require a mobile #. I've had a similar problem with some bank-related websites, regarding authentication beyond login ID / password. Some sites will call a landline or mobile # to confirm, but nowadays many will only call mobile #s. I'll soon have to buy a cheap-ass cell phone to get around this crap, but I dread getting hosed on time by the MF &*!@$ predatory mobile companies. Used to have a flip phone and spend $5/month for limited time (unused minutes accumulated), but that got discontinued with 5G. [Added] The backdrop is that I live in a rural area and my residence does not have cell coverage, so I need to maintain a land line in order to report power outages to the lame local utility company. 🤪

An oddball release I picked up from DG some time ago and really enjoy for some reason. Lee Pan-Geun and Korea Jazz Quintet '78 Play Arirang and other assorted classics. And some Japanese releases

When I was a teenager I got into a lot of fusion (Mahavishnu, RTF, Weather Report) in "real time" as it was being released. But I got tired of it, seemed like there was a lot of bombastic and overly loud music being made (not fair to single these guys out because they're excellent musicians, but Al Di Meola, Larry Coryell and Billy Cobham, for instance, sometimes gave that impression). Never got into funk as much as I should have, so I haven't heard a lot and am inclined to underrate the genre. The Euro jazz-rock stuff I mostly discovered the past few years, surprisingly found that I dig it a lot more than contemporaneous US fusion. Never woulda thunk it. Back on topic, I listened to the rest (5-9) of the BFT and will soon post impressions. Probably sacrilegious (especially if he's well-known), but the organist in #6 sounds a trifle too much "roller rink" or "ball park" (I grew up in Chi. area and heard a lot of Nancy Faust playing in Comiskey Park and Chicago Stadium 😆) for my taste. Tenor is very good, though.

I didn't notice any of the Jones bros. playing, fwiw. 😆

Jim, I can't really make out the Michigan (sub)map on the BFT page, but Pontiac seems to be highlighted. Any significance to that?

Thank Clifford, I'd forgotten. Do you think there'll be tickets available at the door? I don't have a smartphone and the Tubby's website (as does the Local in Saugerties) uses software that requires a mobile to purchase tickets.

He didn't play it. Nobody requested anything, but in the "greatest hits department" there was a mini-medley of Lovers in a dangerous time and Wondering where the lions are about halfway through. Environment seemed a bigger theme than politics. Excellent concert, though.

Maybe not the most imaginative selection, but it's of course excellent and an "old reliable".

I'll go in stages due to time limitations and reluctance to take notes. I peeked at the IDs of 1-3 after listening but before posting. #1: Not a big fusion listener (and, perhaps weirdly, I listen to a lot more Euro-jazz/rock than US fusion), but this is fun. Nowhere near confident enough to guess, but the ID is not surprising and would have been one of the "usual suspects". #2: This is a gas. First 3 minutes or so, I thought it was some kind of Euro-avant-garde outfit with shades of musique concrete / acousmatics. Then the melody started and that went out the window. Thought of Ra in places, but not with this tune and so many guitars. Never would have ID'd the performer. Might not make it through a whole album of this, but again had fun. #3: Not bad, though this arranger is not represented in my collection and generally not my cup of tea. Wouldn't have guessed the leader, though he is well represented in my collection...doesn't sound like "stereotypical" X. Wouldn't have guessed the composer, but after seeing the reveal thought "oh, yeah" in hindsight. #4: Started out not liking this because of hip-hop intro, but the lyrics are clever so it grew on me. Like the female chorus a lot. The big band sections are another plus. Again a big departure from my usual listening, but enjoyable. Probably could sleuth based on the lyrics, but will wait for enlightenment from another poster or the reveal. Liking the BFT so far. Definitely in the "discovery" category rather than guessable, but that's OK.

Tomorrow night, Bruce Cockburn @ Levon Helm Studios, Woodstock NY. Never been to this venue before (it's on the pricey side), but given the location and recent events I hope he'll be motivated and fired up.

PM on Gulda/Weiss plus question on another title.

The piano and chamber music discs therefrom.

Wow, publisher of the "current" paperback edition is Da Capo (Canada). ISTR that I saw the book was unavailable via interlibrary loan (which is generally a reliable source), and then forgot about it. I'm going the Kindle route. Thanks for the tip. [Added] Now reading Notes and Tones. Jumping between chapters (interviews) of names that appeal to me. Excellent. Very fast read because pages have big margins and small printed area.

Thanks. That book's been mentioned quite a bit on the board, I made a "mental note" to read it but never followed up.

Thanks! Of course I paid full hardback price when it was released, but now I can downsize and donate the physical book.

I was disappointed that six boxes of notebook material didn't yield a meatier book. This may violate board rules, but I found some of Sonny's musings on the environment and politics remarkably prescient.

Good stuff. I used to have a Damon Runyon anthology and read it at least a couple of times. Eventually got donated during a downsizing. Which reminds me: I also like Ring Lardner, also had an anthology, but have never read his novel The Real Dope: A Satirical Journey Through the Jazz Age. Meanwhile I recently finished There's some good content, and overall worth reading for fans, but on the other side of the ledger: Slender volume w/o a lot of text, plus quite a bit of technical material that might go over the heads of non-saxophonists.

Thanks, Tim. Enjoyed this BFT. Posted early, meant to follow up on roughly the 2nd half, but I had a rough month...illness and a lot of work. Appreciate your effort.

The discogs link given by Rooster has only one (compilation) album featuring Bud. It's the album linked to by romualdo. The album from that second discogs link has 2 cuts with Bud: 1. Perdido, with Bird, Mingus and Dizzy, seemingly from Massey Hall; 2. Under My Skin by a "Bud Powell Trio" with Mingus and Max. Appears to be from the Toronto Debut session, but I can't tell when it was released (at least, the available Wiki material is unclear with regard to that track).
