Thanks Agustín looks like you found something I have not, I guess that was not in newspapers.com as I've searched that a couple of times. That is a King promo photo that appears in the Chronological Classics Bill Doggett 1952-53 so I have a nice scan of it already, I just wish the entire caption was legible. Was that from the Newspaperarchive.com site? What paper? "... spotlighted on Ralph Cooper's "Here's to Harlem" TV ..."?? Of course the likelihood that anything exists now is practically zilch given the time period, that is still amazing to see that there might have once existed performance video. I'll send you a PM about other searches.

Walk up availability is encouraging for the implied extent of vaccination but a lot of that depends on local vaccine hesitancy/rejection rates.

Didn't think hard enough about the name ... so was he just host for Count Basie, or did he run the club for him? When did his other clubs close? Probably a question Phil Schaap could answer.

Looks impossible to figure that out - there's a Clark Monroe born in 1980 who is a film maker and other things, he's all over google.

There was a trombonist by that name, and captured on Jaws in Orbit close to the same time. Chicago Defender seems to be on the same service as the Courier ... and I am not seeing how I can get access myself and can hardly ask GoM to spend a day going thru one massive search for "Percy France" (did I ever mention there is a Percy, France, which had some significance during WWII, and subsequently, when soldiers injured there have died and their obits mention the location?) Back to the subject of this thread because I have excellent news. Tried a filter option on my photo editing software and Percy's face came right out of the darkness. Way way better than I had, so I am quite pleased. Edit to say that manual adjustment of contrast and other things created an even better result than a simple filter option.

I'm looking into African-American newspapers under the time constraint of work and a free 7 day trial at newspapers.com. But they are fruitful ... This was in the New York Age, in its final year of publication after a run that started in 1887 or so. Thank you GoM, it seems like the academic archive is a single one that universities subscribe to so I think this is the end of the search unless it somehow shows up elsewhere like Google newspapers.

Thanks Jason. This link https://libraries.indiana.edu/pittsburgh-courier-proquest-historical-newspapers has this description: This database provides full page and article images with searchable full text from the Courier (1950-1954 : City ed.), New Pittsburgh courier (1969-1981 : City ed.), New Pittsburgh courier (1981-2002), Pittsburgh courier (1911-1950 : City ed.), and Pittsburgh courier (1955-1965 : City ed.). The collection includes digital reproductions of every page from every issue in PDF format. (OCLC) ******************************************* So what is the difference between "the Courier (1950-1954: City ed.) and Pittsburgh Courier, which does have that gap? Can anyone try the Courier 1950-54?

It should always be "That horse ..." because we are speaking of a particular circumstance/situation. "The horse ..." makes no sense especially since its not a situation of a singular "horse". The dog can escape his leash but only that horse can leave the barn. "I wish Mosaic would put together a Bill Barron set, but given the state of their business and the CD market in general, that horse has left the barn."

Thanks, I've also sent a message to GoM who I think should have access to the archive thru Indiana University. So he may have the easiest time of all.

Oh that sucks. Maybe you know someone else in the academic field with other modes of access? So strange that it would stop and resume like that. Thanks for your efforts.

The date was October 10 1953 and should be findable on a search for "bill doggett" or "percy france" or "Mildred Anderson". I'd love to get a snip of photo and caption. Thanks!

I found a photo on Newspapers.com from the Pittsburgh Courier, that I'd like to use for my Percy France memorial website but the photo is a pretty dark blob mostly and I am hoping other archives might have a better scan. Problem is that searches for Pittsburgh Courier archive shows that the searchable database seems restricted to students/staff/faculty of the many universities offering access. Does anyone have the necessary credentials to help me out? As usual, thanks in advance!

Really the only "obvious" link is that Grover and Benson each started in one and was very influential in the other. But deeper than that? Please explain because I recall nothing about a "secondary front" back then.

Excuse me but you wrote this: "The way cringe has come to be used recently is always in terms of feeling embarrassment for someone else, not the expectation of pain for one's self." In Buffett's couplet (hope I got that right) "certain people are starting (to feel embarrassment for someone else)." If that is the wrong use of cringe as you've so clearly laid out with your dog getting beaten/people watching it happen examination, clearly Buffett needed to use the word "wince" and he needed to find a word other than "binge" to start this verse in his story.

And here I thought Jimmy Buffett had a college degree. Is this the first or most damaging misuse? Well now that's just the start Of a well-deserved overdue binge Meanwhile back in the city Certain people are starting to cringe

Definitely sad news. I'm glad that Soul Jazz got published, it's a great legacy in addition to the production credits and a lot more.

No but I'm not that interested in what people with slightly better than average taste think, either.

When you consider what the "collective public" generally holds in high esteem, not in the slightest. A mindful consideration of "all-time" with space to discuss and engage? That has potential, and I'd suggest a deep perusal of this, even though its limited in scope: https://jazzinthe70s.blogspot.com/2020/01/ and this: But a simple list with album covers? Sorry, no, I am not your target.

So Tom was it Michael's words about Brooks the player or did the lineups also play into it substantially? Or was it really, "hey, it's Mosaic"?

Oh yeah. Lee made Minor Move much more enjoyable to me than the "meh" reviews it seems to be getting lately here.

Good point, Kevin and it nearly convinces me that I am over-estimating Michael's power of persuasion. Back then I was definitely trying new music based on sidemen. (Kenny Drew in particular was an absolute assurance of quality and enjoyability, right up until the moment I bought a Ken McIntyre Steeplechase because Kenny was on it).

Look at the video in the MLB story linked, from :28 - :33. His elbow literally moves laterally about two inches into the path of the ball. How is that not intentional? He says he tracks outside pitches? Wasn't outside, my man. It was close enough for you to stick your protected elbow in the way, though. Just BS on multiple levels.

For me it might have been timing - it wasn't terribly long after I started getting into the music (1989) before I heard about Mosaic (probably print ads in DB, I am guessing, then getting the catalogs) but I am quite certain that it was Michael's essay about Brooks as this forgotten/neglected/talented musician that made me want the Mosaic LP set. What are your recollections? Were you also deeply intrigued about Tina or did you know him from his sidemen appearances already? What about other Mosaic sets? Did it just take an intriguing come-on from Michael to make you order (or in my case, request for birthday/Christmas)? Or did you rely on prior knowledge, the mystique that Mosaic built up in their golden years, asking online or real-life friends? I guess part of this depends on age, if you came to the music later you didn't need the Brooks LP set, and our older members of course were buying BN LPs at $5 when they were fresh in the stores or just off the boat, but I'm curious so ... What do you say? EDIT TO ADD: Just realized Freddie Redd might be an even better example in terms of Mosaic creating a market. The Mosaic came out four years before any BN album reissues. At the time there were probably some OJCs easily available, and the market primed by older folks who knew his music back then. But he was really an unknown quantity to me that I requested purely off of the Mosaic catalog, I am certain.

It's a ghost town with zero population but a FedEx distribution center? This seems odd. I'd think a distribution center would have many dozens of employees. But I guess there could also be gas stations and diners, if there's a FedEx distribution center? it just seems very strange to me, but hey, ... Wyoming!
