Went to bed top of 8, runner on first and wondering if the Rangers would top it off by their bullpen coming thru on the road with a 1-run lead. As it turns out they would have but didn't need to. Congrats to the team, franchise and long-suffering fans here and elsewhere. Now where is that damn Hot Stove thread? Craig Breslow has a metric crap-ton of work to do on the Red Sox.

Seems a tad messed up. I think I would have approached it as "if you issue a credit for the return shipping I'll send it back to you" and otherwise, they messed up you are under no obligation to send something back you didn't order. Paying shipping first seems ridiculous.

Well I am taking total credit for coming up with Newport in New York as source. It took an easy one for me to nail something. <Green Smilie Here> Timing on side 2 of that LP isn't exactly what your track has but it certainly fits the tune.

Does that make first two tracks sides 1 and 2 of this? https://www.discogs.com/release/3395425-Various-Newport-In-New-York-72-The-Jam-Sessions-Vol-1

To paraphrase Nixon on the Watergate tapes, "but that would be wrong."

well that makes Track 1 easy to run the table ...

and not one of the Newport/NY jams? Like to know I am oh for three before I graciously bow out.

I don't know about "easiest" by any stretch but it surely is going down easy. Is #1 one of those Newport in New York jams that took up an entire side? Is Roy Eldridge on both jams? And this should be rejected out of hand as a wild guess: Grover on #3. And I am ... out.

Have to bring this post back as the Rangers sit at one away from a ring.

Intriguing that #2 has a leader I had never even heard of. I figured that it was one of those many concert recordings of the era, maybe brought out on an obscure/questionable-business-practices type label in the 70s. Looks like other copies are pretty expensive but its one that I will keep watching for and try to acquire. Thanks!

The Dutch archives were the source for the wonderful Mobley recording among many others but that series seems at a standstill and I wonder if they are moving onto this series or will there ever be another of the more straightahead bands.

I am like Chuck, its been ages since I've heard his leader date.

Gotcha. Sort of a new way to express the old "what got you started on your jazz journey" threads. So what I could contribute is that this recording is what led to my ongoing efforts to raise Percy France's profile in jazz. The discovery of unissued material that featured Percy France led me to ask the seemingly innocent question, "how hard would it be to acquire and arrange every known Percy France recording chronologically?" Simple question that led me down many paths and ultimately to creating www.percyfrance.info.

Which life plan was directed by this recording?

This seems like a very limited topic that would be easy or relatively easy to tick off the people who had "recordings" grab and direct their life plan. Let's see: Michael Weiss David Weiss Sangrey Alexander Hawkins I know I am missing a few but not many.

That first one is an all-time classic.

For sure it's exciting to see this kind of release, the sort of thing Mosaic started out doing. If predictable Blue Note sets help to keep the lights on for more like this set, that is fantastic and I say "bring 'em both on".

But on the other hand I was excited to read this: The Savoy and National sessions which are owned by the Concord Music Group Hasn't it been said before "that's owned by Concord now and they won't deal with Mosaic"? If that is changing ...

LMAO - and looking forward to December! Well it had to be a WWE thing and if they are actually shortening that descriptor to "BFT" then A. We did it first B. They shouldn't do it period in the context of their programming because it sounds stupid (not that Blunt Force Trauma is a lot better).

So this came up on my youtube feed this morning. So does this mean that if I pitch a shutout in my January BFT I can tell y'all that I layeth the smackdown on your candy asses? (don't worry my planned BFT has enough easy ones so almost everybody will feel good about themselves.)

And no pimping, he actually ran out of the box.

I posted an image of this at 12:55 pm yesterday.

Completely agree with you on quality of music and packaging ... I always figured that they fell victim to the decline in CD sales. Discogs shows they were active from 1999 to 2013 with a Ben Wolfe release being their last.

I am sure I never opened up this thread before as I think I would have remembered learning that Nat Cole found new "collaborators" from beyond the grave. <BARF>
