That's not much of an accomplishment.

Damn, wasn't thinking who Willie might be but definitely assumed "Hank" was Mobley not Williams.

Neat trick, new book with a forward by a dead guy. This has been in heavy rotation on various channels we receive ... I certainly prefer the original.

I watched college football much more than pro last year but ... I got the distinct impression that in the college game they weren't doing the measurement thing nearly as often as before? Just a total eye-ball it and say its a first down kinda thing. Anybody else notice this? Did the NCAA send a memo out?

But in rap it's expected. It's the wallpaper of the song. They are hearing jazz and can realize that the notes vary so that "repeating" becomes obvious. I don't love hearing the repeating but I don't hate it like Kevin does. What I wonder is what Alfred thought of it. It's apparent it didn't grate on his ears or he would have told Grant to run it down again and don't get "stuck".

Says he played bari here (and looks like an interesting record given bass and drums only): https://www.discogs.com/release/2934621-Buddy-Tate-Bob-Wilber-Sherman-Shuffle

So to update my experience, the BN cover shirts from the etsy store are on their last legs ... the Bobby Timmons is losing the lettering, the Mobley All-Stars is generally degraded and the Lou Donaldson Swing & Soul has that bad looking collar they used for the TV spot a couple of years ago. (It's unfortunate because along the lines of the story above about the Dolphy cover T, I was wearing the LD shirt and waiting for a Chinese takeout order, and an older dude asked about him. I didn't know you could be in your late 60s, a long-time jazz fan and not know the name Lou Donaldson, but there it is. I gave him a quick rundown of the different eras of LD from bebop to organ/soul jazz and beyond.) I should also note that a while back these shirts went into heavy rotation, pretty much each being worn every week during remote workdays and washed every week.

Sad news. Perhaps not a favorite but definitely had my respect and the TV show and talent he brought on should be remembered for a long time.

Thanks for sharing this Brad - only seeing it now as I had stopped following up with this thread. I can't comprehend why the Times writer thinks its factual to say that photographs weren't with the tapes but "archival dives... turned up ... photographs." The only imputation to that statement I've set in bold is photographs were found with the tapes when photograph expeditions didn't even happen concurrently to the BN tape expeditions in the 70s. Simplified to the point of leaving a false impression with the reader which is shitty writing.

Glad to hear it.

Got word of a nice short piece promoting the website at Flophouse: HERE Hopefully a nice surge in traffic will come in the next days and weeks.

I know that Blakey got very deaf by the end of his life ... a result of so many days in a band that he was kicking everybody's ass in? But I am wondering about the topic in a more general way and in particular ... the one time I went to Smoke my wife and I saw the George Coleman Octet, with Harold Mabern and a group of relative youngsters. Jim Rotondi was playing next to Gary Smulyan and I couldn't help but notice how often he played one handed, with the hand closest to Rotondi plugging his ear to block out his high notes. Do jazzers (especially in larger bands) tend to lose their hearing?

It's not hard for me to say to "no" but not due to duplication but more for the fact that interest in Hutch went up with his return to a more straightahead style in the 80s/90s. Doesn't a Lee Morgan 60s have to be next given their business approach and who hasn't gotten this treatment? Especially with LD using mostly organs which I think was determined to not be worthy of Mosaic treatment.

@Rooster_Ties Kindly post your reveal for this track!

Here's where I should remind people that there was a data loss at some point. Before an old BFT gets archived you should check the forum and verify if a Reveal thread exists. Putting up a BFT without the answers would just be cruel.

I think maintaining the archive is good going forward and for the immediate past but I wonder whether anyone goes into it and listens or downloads a compilation from 8 years ago let alone 10 or 15 or 20, if they were archived.

I think it would have to be surprisingly large to move units the way the usual suspects can.

Already on it but we need to know what the ump said in defending the ejection And I gotta say "you've been bullshit all game" is absolutely a "don't say that if you don't want to have the rest of the day off" thing, and even if you are walking away.

I don't know that I would suspect that, like, at all. She recorded five times for Concord in the 80s and died at the age of 32 in 1990. A fine player but is she a household name even in jazz homes? I think it would take monumental PR to make a reissue enticing at $30 per LP or whatever they are going for today.

We'll need a Jomboy breakdown on this. https://www.mlb.com/news/aaron-judge-ejected-for-first-time-in-career But I could tell Rizzo yelled "That's the softest shit I've ever seen" at :33 on the vid at the top.

What Felser Would Like - Not Me

Rape is and that's obviously what I was referring to.

First, I think I have read that is the most common sexual fantasy of women so ... but regardless I would say its a huge leap from spread legs to "rape ideation". Maybe Crouch took something that was said to him by one woman and he expanded from that small sample size?

Happy Birthday.
