I guess what I am really asking is if anything will be online (is it known they have a system akin to Vanderbilt's Aviary system?) Housed in a library for specific requests by patrons, with limitations on access or duplication - it's just guaranteed to make this a theoretical resource except for highly motivated researchers and crazy collectors.

Very curious about the photos in the archive ... and whether any of it will be available online or is it all to be held in NYC to only be seen by those who show up during business hours with specific requests? The latter doesn't exactly embody "everyone to see his archives".

Brutal: Roman Anthony to IL with oblique strain and it sounds like he is done for at least the regular season. This is a gut punch and between that and the remaining schedule, the Red Sox will be lucky to sneak in as the third WC. Every team deals with injuries but the Red Sox lost their top two starters for 2024 innings pitched/Starts (Crawford and Houk), their 1B that they had no real back up for, and now a near-super star rookie that was igniting the offense with a .400 OBP. Brutal

Sorry I never got a chance to listen Ken, but work never cooperated and when it did, I was immersed in the latest Adelson murder trial on youtube. On number 9, I should have realized it wasn't Gene/Three Sounds by the bass solo which happened so rarely on their records and when Benny Green was ID'd I was sure it was on one of the Japanese CDs he did of Blue Note/funky 60s jazz. But again no time to investigate further and get that one.

I don't know but I find this Jomboy Breakdown pretty damn funny.

Well it seems to be true ... fun fact: Tolle's extension (or release point) is as close to the batter as Aroldis Chapman. Can understand how it helps generate swing and miss.

I'll believe this https://www.mlb.com/news/payton-tolle-red-sox-callup?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage if its confirmed later today. On the one hand, they might want to keep him as a starter and not ask him to switch to the bullpen for the stretch drive, but bringing him up for this game in particular seems surprisingly aggressive in his development process. (and I thought the game that needed a replacement starter was Saturday.)

Very slow with new uploads but here are three new Percy tracks, the first two surprised me (perhaps because I never knew the Andrews Sisters or subsequent performances).

Not only are you welcome to jump into a BFT but new blood among compilers is welcome too! Excellent username, BTW. I was going to jump in with Benny Green as a guess on #9.

At minimum and see how he progresses from there. Shut down middle and late relief is key if they make it to the playoffs. (And watching the video he doesn't seem that big ... more like a Linebacker than Crochet who I would liken to a Tight End.)

Red Sox better be smart and have a certain lefty pitcher make it all the way from High A to the Majors in one year. Leftie Payton Tolle has a 133/23 K/BB ratio in 91 2/3 innings across High A, AA and AAA. What could it hurt to get him to the Fens by Labor Day and see how his stuff plays? Possibly their biggest weakness is the bullpen after Aroldis Chapman and a power lefty in the mix can't hurt.

KWEE, not KEE.

Have to say I am pleased that this thread made me want to dig out my transfer of the Angry Tenors LP and in flipping thru the binder with Quebec CDs, realized I received From Hackensack to Englewood Cliffs from some kind soul many moons ago.

In an interview with Art Taylor, Percy describes "Ike QWEE-bek" as a "real buddy of mine". It never occurred to me that proper pronunciation might be a long "e" but that's how Percy said his name.

Has it ever been discussed or confirmed the proper pronunciation of Quebec? (Spoiler: there's a recording of Percy France saying his name so I do have good authority as to proper pronunciation.)

Nice! Reminds me of Percy France's saxophone interludes for a series of Mike Hammer books-on-tape that were released from about 1988-92, except that he never got more than about 28 seconds of playing time, on the out-credits. Subscribing for sure. Here's a direct link to the page: https://www.youtube.com/@JazzfromDetroitFilm

https://store.bluenote.com/products/ike-quebec-the-complete-45-sessions-blue-note-tone-poet-series?variant=44466687082687 Color me surprised ... already issued by Mosaic, is the market that big for the LP treatment? I do love Ike but can't say I pull this out very often - the short playing times and not really the greatest organ behind him. I don't see this being a big seller but what do I know.

And "At This Moment" is a classic of the blue-eyed soul style! Not to mention peak Alex P Keaton. Green smilie here. In all seriousness it turns out I don't seem to have those extra tracks and I may go about remedying that.

Was there a reissue that paired it with Eddie Higgins' Vee Jay Trio date? I thought that was the one I had but I hope in reality I have the one with the alternates. Great group and performance, an instant fave when I first heard it.

Because he "detected" that there was a market for it even if the decision to shelve it originally (and not release it during the heyday of reissue programs) was more than a defensible one.

If I had them, shake. (Speaking of, Sonic shakes was our source but damn they are expensive. Now that I don't eat that stuff, if we do Sonic my wife gets a medium shake (Banana) and I eat something from the chicken portion of the menu and 2-3 of her Tots.)

OK, here is Percy France playing his tenor saxophone at his own surprise birthday party, August 15, 1989, and that is Joe Newman in profile at right.

Because it serves no purpose whatsoever, "heavy" vinyl, 'remastered from original tapes' with zero improvement over the sound of a CD - which can also store worthy alternate takes and unissued tunes and this vinyl-only series cannot do that. Sorry if you can't comprehend that not everyone is a committed audiophile desperate to shell out approximately a dollar per minute of recorded sound. The only time I ever did that was $30 for a Japanese RVG Cd of what must have originally been a 10 inch Hank Mobley LP. Nothing on the Muse label is worth a dollar a minute not even for extra heavy vinyl and extra "special" remastering.
