That must be colorized, and poorly.

I don't think I could pick gnochhi out of a lineup.

Well I said it grew on me but I also have an upper limit on the island rhythm tunes. Fun, but only to a point.

Is it me or are quite a few of these tunes with very strong bassists, whether they solo prominently or not? Anywhooo ... 1. Hard swing as a set-opener and me likey. 3 stars but subject to re-evaluation based on the rest of the selections. 2. More relaxed tempo and I like this one quite a bit. 3.5 stars. 3. Sorry not feeling this. 2 stars, cause I am generous. 4. I'll go with Booby Hutcherson. 3 stars. 5. OK but goes in the bucket with #3. 6. Violin is a nope for me, especially when its not in a swing groove, where I can tolerate in small doses. 7. This one grew on me, but I am longing for something closer to tracks 1 or 2. 8 - 15. Various degrees of this is for someone, But Not For Me. In hindsight, Track 1 and 2 each get an additional half star. Curious about those for sure. Thanks for the tunes!

Well yeah but with Felser and Thom among others, you have more leaning toward avante than just little old me.

👍👍

I just checked, it is! Looking forward to it even if Felser is too. (green smilie)

Well of course I own #4 but it's been years since I pulled it out. Thanks Ken for the tunes.

So many gems!

I was really hoping this one would be an "unexpected Percy France" appearance, Wild Bill Davis, and within a month of the last known Percy France broadcast in the year that he was diagnosed with cancer. Turns out its Doug Lawrence and it's great: https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/134573

There are better time wasters. And Don Orsillo can f off. He's born in Mass., raised in NH, lifelong Red Sox fan but after they fired him, he decided "you don't want me, I don't want you." Sorry if you're a broadcaster you're like a manager - hired to be fired. If you grew up with the team, get the fuck over yourself and don't hate on them for firing you.

The Red Sox have turned into an Mother bleeping joke. Nice to know I have nothing of a professional (or collegiate) athletic nature to give a fuck about until 2025.

Jansen was in the batter's box when the game was suspended, so upon resumption as the MLB article puts it: The announcement in the press box should go something like this: [Insert name of pinch-hitter here] is hitting for Danny Jansen. Defensive substitution for the Red Sox. Danny Jansen replacing Reese McGuire at catcher. Unfortunately, Jansen was only down 0-1 when the game resumes. By rule, if there were two strikes on the batter when a pinch hit occurs, and is followed by a strikeout, the strikeout is credited to the original batter. Therefore, had the stars truly aligned, Jansen could record the putout on a strikeout of Jansen. But alas it cannot happen. In terms of playing for same team, its happened in the minors: Dale Holman played for both the Syracuse Chiefs and Richmond Braves in the same Triple-A game in 1986. Holman was with Syracuse (then the Blue Jays' Triple-A affiliate) when the game began in June. It was suspended due to rain, and by the time it resumed on Aug. 16, the outfielder had been released by the Blue Jays and had signed on with the Braves. Holman started at Double-A with Atlanta, but he was promoted to Triple-A just in time for the resumed game. Holman went 1-for-1 with Syracuse when the game started, and 2-for-2 for Richmond when it continued. All in all, a 3-for-3 game … with hits for both teams.

Jordan was recorded regularly thru out his career which lasted many, many years beyond. Mobley went to Europe and existed in the jazz public eye just barely beyond that period of time. I think that explains the different reactions. Regardless we're very fortunate for all of the Dutch archival releases.

I understand he was touring with Ron Carter and had a heart attack in Japan.

It's an amazing thing, so many great players and some terrific performances. A remarkable gift from Schaap to the jazz world. I mostly noticed Charles Williams in there. A little wonky sound on this one but certainly listenable. Thanks for the reminder about the Big John Patton appearance, I haven't gone back to that one yet. And I repeat my offer to stream and edit any concert from the archive and provide a best-possible audio file to members. Just PM me.

I have no details but Loren Schoenberg has stated on FB that Russell Malone has died. He would have turned 61 in November. RIP.

I am reminded that member @Trumpet Guy was the nom de posting for Phil Grenadier, who appears on the bandstand on this newly uploaded West End broadcast: https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/134317

My first c/c was Amex, filled out an application in the student union my final semester as an undergrad. I admit I bought into the PR about Amex, the "image" of Amex users, but the fact is that a charge card is way better than a true credit card. I knew I had to pay (and still have to pay even if they allow a balance now) the balance off the next month. Keeps you on the much more straight-and-narrow as a young person starting out.

They are also not supposed to have credit card minimums either but a lot of places do. The last retail job I had the owner absolutely hated those fees and thought what Amex charged was absolutely insane.

Nice to hear that this series is still running ...

Wow did not realize that either. I guess Claxton didn't take the photos since they don't have any billowing cigarette smoke around her head.

OK this isn't directly related to the website but today is Percy France's birthday, he would have been 96. So how about three links to wonderful shows broadcast from the West End and now available at Vanderbilt's Aviary page from the Phil Schaap Jazz Collection? This is a great show, titled "Blue and Boogie" by Phil Schaap as the Two-Tenor Boogie (Percy and Eddie Barefield) play a program of bop standards with Sammy Price's boogie woogie piano. https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/131148?u=t&keywords[]=two%20tenor%20boogie More in a bebop vein: Phil told me directly that Percy would sub with Joe Albany's New Yorkers and here is proof. https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/132390?u=t&keywords[]=joe%20albany And one more - Percy as leader with the great Bob Neloms on piano https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/131313?u=t&keywords[]=percy%20france PERCY FRANCE LIVES!
