  1. Available gratis to a good home in the lower 48. PM me.
  2. To have missed Fathead twice in a couple of months is just pathetic. Trying to figure out the release but discogs is not functioning for me. From The Blessing ... don't think I have that one so there's that!
  3. D'OH. Time Goes By.
  4. Woh .... Yankees going up against Burnes to avoid a sweep by the O's. Now I've done it and the bats will probably come to life. 😟
  5. And played only because of an emergency bee keeper call-out. I find it amusing they played "Holding Out for a Hero" and it was certainly appropriate for an impromptu ceremonial first pitch by the man of the hour. He looked young and fit and I thought he would fire one in there but alas ...
  6. A lot of tunes here that didn't really grab me, also didn't make me want to scream "NEXT". As usual I am worthless on guesses but: #9 - Lovely "Funny Valentine" by a tenor that I bet is a recognized legend but I want to go against the grain and say it is someone younger. Harry Allen? #10 - it took a while but this is a WFWL-NM. I'm sure that can be decoded.
  7. Did I hear "Goldfinger" in there?
  8. If it does, I'd like a discussion about what constitutes crossing the strike zone. Maybe I am inventing a difference, but tennis can have its microscopic touching of the edge of the line and its overruled, ball was "in." I'd love to see baseball adopt, should they use robo-calls of balls/strikes, a "a majority of the ball" standard.
  9. Received on release day and after a couple of spins I quite agree.
  10. Judging from reactions on the Rare Jazz Photos group on Facebook, you'd think Leonard Gaskin isn't very well known at all.
  11. Better use of the "it's funny with swear words" theory: https://www.theonion.com/sony-releases-new-stupid-piece-of-shit-that-doesnt-fuck-1819594774 BTW the Onion must be really hard up for cash. Under three minutes of video and two commercial interruptions so far. SAD!
  12. I had a history/ancient Civ teacher in high school, real hard-ass that kids joked about but he really brought the material to life and I enjoyed his classes. Wish I could think of his name ... He had one go-to line I can never forget. Whenever some ancient ruler executed an enemy or slaughtered a captured army, it was " and that's one way to ... get a head."
  13. Did Ted Williams' homer off the red seat really go 502 feet? Nope, it was longer than that The key to understanding (and the foolishness behind people like Mo Vaugnn, David Ortiz and Tristan Casas claiming it must be a legend and it didn't happen) is A) it was a really windy day blowing out to RF B) Fenway didn't have a second deck back then and it was riding the wind before it left the infield.
  14. Nothing is released to the public except for the Schaap radio shows (most of which were originally published on his web page). Therefore the search function isn't going to help you at this time.
  15. I am glad to own it; is it as great as the Turrentine collaborations on BN? Probably not.
  16. I remain in touch with the Librarian at Vandy who is in charge (or near the top of the food chain) of the organization of the Schaap archive. He's advised that most (say 70% or so) of the reel to reel tapes have been digitized and digital files returned to Vanderbilt, with about 40 reels needing "mold remediation" yet only one found to be unrecoverable. The total number of tapes is nearly 750. The process requires that digitized recordings be compared against information notated from tape boxes and inserts, for max accuracy of all listings. They also regard the 'boxes and boxes' of Schaap radio shows saved to CDRs as at greatest risk of data loss and it sounds like they are prioritizing digital transfer of those. So I really don't know what kind of timeframe we are looking at for actual release of digitized files into their public Aviary page. But here is a tiny taste, the very first reel that states "WKCR Broadcast from the West End": The Brooks Kerr Quartet live at the West End, January 21, 1974; Personnel: Brooks Kerr, piano, Paul Quinichette, tenor sax, Franc Williams, trumpet, Sam Woodyard, drums, with guests Paul Gonsalves, tenor sax, and Matthew Gee, trombone (last set only); Set list: Perdido -- Gone with the wind -- Broadway -- Sweet Lorraine -- Without a song -- Lady be good -- Blue and sentimental -- Dark eyes -- I cover the waterfront -- Sunday -- Things ain't what they used to be -- Jive at five -- I can't give you anything but love -- Three little words -- Shadow of your smile -- Satin doll -- Milestones -- Caravan. This looks good too: A tenor tribute to Ben Webster at Provincetown Playhouse, December 1, 1973, 8:00-10:30 p.m.; Personnel: Buddy Tate, tenor sax/flute, Art Miller, tenor sax/clarinet, Earle Warren, alto sax, Milt Hinton, bass, Dill Jones, piano, Gene Borst, drums; Set list: Moten swing -- Cottontail -- Gone with the wine -- Perdido -- [Buddy Tate and Milton Hinton reminisce about Ben Webster] -- Blues for Ben -- You're so beautiful -- C jam blues. In a mellotone (the opener) was not recorded. Also includes: Satin doll -- What's new -- Moten swing.
  17. I was thinking that or from Wolff's family. They weren't somewhere in the BN archive.
  18. Too bad it's not a nationwide broadcast but the Cubs are visiting the Red Sox and tonight it's Imanaga, the 30 year old Japanese star with an 0.84 ERA across four starts (0.75 WHIP) vs Kutter Crawford, the unlikely MLB leader in ERA at 0.66 across five starts (0.99 WHIP).
  19. Does this ring true to others? Cuz it doesn't to me. They make it sound like he found all the prints and negatives hidden behind a big stash of Trainwreck reels or something. Mr. Cuscuna’s archival dives at Blue Note also turned up tens of thousands of photographs taken in the studio by Francis Wolff, one of the label’s founders.
  20. Umps like Angel have proven their incompetence over many years. But you are also talking about a union gig. There is nothing they can do to get rid of him, and nothing they can do to make him get better.
  21. For Reggie Jackson that's 4000 total with 2400 of them Ks. 2820 games.
