Hadn't heard the name before but curious about the book. Amazon shows it as available right now and eligible for Prime shipping. Yanow's biography on allmusic says she has made "many" appearances on record but discogs only shows four total? Maybe a different definition of "many".

One good thing from Day Light Savings: perfect light when momma leads baby out to the middle paddock.

BBS reminds me of a CDR-only mix I once made, and shared by request with a member of the board, inspired by Cuscuna's description of "sons of Sidewinder" tunes that had to be included on subsequent recordings: Sidewinder and Sons

It's been a source of friction that my wife went so deep into horse breeding as an imaginary source of income, but the babies that result are definitely a fringe benefit!

Apparently those joints signify a rather large future for her. Momma should be happy she came out a little sooner than expected.

Born yesterday morning. Name TBD, lots of interest in purchasing from her horse connections on FB, according to my wife. (It's a she, by the way.) That black hair on the neck is hardly there a day later - she's going to be pretty much pure "leopard" colored Apaloosa.

Probably doesn't help that, apparently, vaccine hesitancy is worse in the EU than it is in the US. That surprised me, seeing it this morning.

Not quite in the 80s but very early 90s. I transferred a lot of LPs to cassette for car listening and then I started wanting to program excellent comps to keep the pleasure-level high. I also brought these tapes into the tennis shop I was working at in 91-93 or so, to keep the work day swinging. I tossed those tapes before the last move to our current home but I would say, especially given the time period and where I was at in collecting, that the cassettes very heavy on hard bop. (At the time my mother had a side-business promoting antique shows and she thought it would be a nice touch to play jazz over the PA system of the Field House during buying hours. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to program 3-4 90 minute cassettes for her, but this only lasted a couple of hours on the first day of that show, as apparently the sound of drums coming from overhead led multiple dealers to think that their merchandise was falling off the shelves and to complain to her about it.)

Optatio you ruined my chance to go with "half a mother fucker".

Thanks for this Chuck.

The only thing I know about Reddit is their video uploads to youtube, in which they collect the "best" answers to certain topics. I've enjoyed the "NSFW" subjects like "worst morning after a one-night stand" "What were you thinking the first time you gave oral sex" etc etc. Is there a hierarchy of "upvotes"? Do "gold" pieces have monetary value? WTH?

FWIW, the Ultra-Vybe reissue of the Oliver Jackson Trio Feat Percy France - Le Quartet which came out not too long ago has terrific sound.

Yeah but if you're an addict too, you need to replace that dope you're using as cash. And I don't think they'll give you more if you play a pretty ballad for them, you gotta, you know, hand over the cash. And if the dope is perfectly calibrated to the cash owed, the only thing saved is the time/expense of getting the money to pay in the normal way. I like Larry's theory of Getz doing it just to fuck with people.

Thanks to Bertrand for his donation today and all other donors ... hoping for a few more if they are on the fence? Making slow progress toward the minimum $500 hoped for on the website.

I wondered how my name might be handled - well played sir.

Interesting from an economic perspective. Was there an inefficiency between the value of cash and the cost of heroin, or did Stan just have too much of the latter and didn't want to bother with getting any of the former for a more traditional sideman payment? I don't know about currency but Eddie Higgins told me that he had an offer from Blakey to join the Messengers after his sideman appearance on the Morgan VeeJay LP but ultimately declined because he had a family to support and he heard that after paying the hotel and paying the connection, there might not be enough money left for salaries at the end of an engagement.

Mike LeDonne told me this story about his first recording session: A little piece of trivia is that I wanted Percy France to play tenor on my first date for Criss Cross as a leader. I had a few originals that were a bit different than playing standards that I felt were important to have on my first date so I gave them to Percy in advance. But this wasn’t the way Percy operated and when he never showed up at the rehearsal I knew something was wrong. I insisted he come by my apt a couple of days before the date so we could go over the tunes and when he started playing it was obvious he hadn’t even looked at them. I felt terrible but I had to tell him I couldn’t go into the studio like that. The producer of the date had someone else in mind for my date and I was going to have to go with that before I blew the whole thing. Funny thing was that Percy was totally cool with it and just said OK no problem and packed up his horn and left, no anger and no bad vibes at all. I felt that he knew this wasn’t a good fit for him and was relieved to be free of it. The date was with Tom Harrell, Dennis Irwin, Kenny Washington and wound up being Gary Smulyan’s first record date of all time.
