Of course there may be karma risks in enjoying this sort of news, but Stanton has trouble gripping everyday objects, let alone a bat; Gil is out for at least three months, and now Cole's elbow is barking big time? Tough being defending league champion.

Thanks for the insight David, my copy of the recording that does circulate came from the opener of this thread, MartyJazz. He had dozens of reels that I digitized for him - this must have been nearly 20 years ago.

I rarely find these articles all that enlightening but ... https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/05/arts/music/chicago-jazz-music.html?unlocked_article_code=1.2E4.ixzJ.FdT7rdnM6CJm&smid=url-share

I am not their target audience by any means, but I found this somewhat interesting. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/05/arts/music/vinyl-albums-chad-kassem-acoustic-sounds.html?unlocked_article_code=1.2E4.ozMX.Z5gTrGV_DwW4&smid=url-share

Same tape but at least some new music (I think)

David, if you need this one for Episode 2, I can provide.

Does it count as weird news that Casey Anthony, the poster child for "not guilty doesn't mean innocent," is becoming a public figure as a "legal advocate"?

Great album. Never heard Stormy Weather done like the reason that the sun is blotted out is all the greeeaaassse in the air.

Thanks very much for this Mike.

It's unfortunate we're talking about the circumstances more than the actor but when is the last time any famous person died along with his wife, at home, with no known violence involved. Plus one of apparently 3 total dogs.

Never heard this guy before giving this one a try, very much in the Arnett Cobb/Buddy Tate zone. Milt Buckner on piano and with several unissued tracks on this CD. One of the best "not well known" Black & Blues.

I'll have to think about the new Snidero at some point. It took me a while before I finally filed away the first trio recording. quite enjoyable.

I always interpret that as <embarrassment> or something similar.

? Is my image missing?

This has had many issues and names but until recently I slept on all of them. What a shame this is an absolute classic.

I need to figure out if I have the Nat Pierce recording as that would have probably pushed me over to "yes" on this set. I would guarantee that I am more interested in that set over the obscure pianist they gush about. And not at all obvious why six CDs couldn't have been seven.

This.

I am not Steve but I find your criticisms and toldja sos to be misplaced. Steve has, I will bet, thousands of recordings that are not "desert island" but that he enjoys a great deal. We ALL do. And you do know a Marlow Morris fan - ME. The Columbia album I mentioned above is very good. And Buddy Tate, Buck Clayton and all their friends do not get drowned out by Morris' organ.

Blue Note email says new interview with KB ... which I find a little surprising but certainly welcome.
