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.

Sorry but within the confines of an LP facsimile, there ain't no room for bonus material.

Ltd Edition vinyl, I bet $30 is their price point and it would have to be some unknown and impossible to find release that they would ever get anything from me. And of all the recordings to choose from at the start, its the Roy Brooks again? (Oh but its never been issued in this extra special, massively overpriced vinyl!)

I saw this and have to admit I did not think she would have been my age (well, in another 33 days). As I think about it though it might be that "What's Happening" was watched mostly in syndication in the 80s, producing the illusion that she was younger than she was. RIP, and sympathy to Mr. Pelt.

Third or fourth or maybe even fifth favorite Silver front line but I am sure I am in on this.

Which is also the non-BN LD album with Grant Green.

The Red Sox have sucked me back in, so I am sure they will resume sucking soon enough.

I heard of a different angle of the dangle, in a context that is entirely inappropriate. (Green smilie here)

Seemed curiously distended but I think you are right.

Seems like it's based on Free For All era Blakey, like a straight on image of the cover photo. But they did weird things with his chin/lines under his jaw.

I have a new phone - haven't even added email or Facebook. But my Facebook circle is small and I never find myself scrolling thru posts the way my wife does (she has a large group of "horse friends") ... I do spend time on youtube but not obsessively and to be honest, mostly during the work day. No "subscribed" feeds but I let the algorithm keep me abreast of similar vids that I do watch (aviation, comedy clips, true crime especially the upcoming Donna Adelson trial (IYKYK). I liked and was a little horrified at the author's way of manipulating youtube to regularly see reminders of the fragility of life and the need to live it away from screens.

A tad long, but interesting to me and maybe others. Might even stimulate a conversation. https://www.thefp.com/p/social-media-shortens-your-life-heres-how-to-get-time-back?r=px8hr&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

Thanks for sharing this @felser Personally I liked the Sonny Clark the first time I heard it - Japanese CD I think I found at Tower or HMV in NYC - but I plan going on a BN kick for my MP3 player/daily walks and think I will revisit next week.
