Well yeah ... you can find his LPs online pretty easy. Valid to purchase? OK to purchase since Boris is long dead and made whatever he made while he was selling his ill-gotten recordings? Not to mention the implication that this comes from a Boris recording. Maybe all of the descendants of original tapers should be told to only sell to Resonance or Reel-to-Reel.

Looking at the photo didn't this get used in Bruce Almightyor whatever that movie was?

Agreed and I understand the attitude ... but I also wonder if anyone who performed at Birdland and now are on a Jordi CD ... were any of them getting payments to their estates for anything they recorded?

This is the sort of thing I make an exception for ... his slapping together of LPs not so much. But historic radio broadcasts with preferred groups/musicians, yeah I will pay or let someone else know for future gift purchases.

Yes I found it on their site. This probably deserves a separate thread but it seems Jordi got another set of Birdland recordings, now released: Al Grey/Billy Mitchell. Why it needed to be paired with an Argo LP I am not sure but this also looks very intriguing. Something to pair up with the Philly Joe release. https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/al-grey-billy-mitchell-albums/56637-sextet-septet-live-at-the-museum-of-modern-art-at-birdland-2-cd.html

I am seeing September 30 as a release date at least in Japan? Very curious about this since it's got Sonny Red, Hardman, Reece as well as Gilmore.

I never willingly watched any of the Jurassic Park sequels but just found out that Buffett had a spot as an extra in Jurassic World. If the script only called for him to carry two Margaritas as he ran from the raptor and he improvised the sip,, that's pretty damn funny.

Try a full billion dollars net worth, per Forbes, though as Jazzbo points out, the money was mostly from his empire of products and facilities dedicated to the image engendered by "Margaritaville". Which, by the way, was his ONLY top ten hit and that was 1978. Comparing Buffett to Taylor Swift is ludicrous and anyway, the tastes you deride are popular. What part of that is confusing or surprising? Sorry but this last sentence makes no sense. Parrot heads with resources and impeachable ethics and skills can also be expected to feel a loss. Are you saying that you will sympathize only because he's a good guy? Glad you enjoyed it.

You got it faster than it got to me.

Medium-level fan (few CDs from 80s recordings, never considered seeing him in concert) but his passing does give me pause because my older brother, if he were alive, would be distressed at this news. He came back from his first semester at Miami of Ohio a big fan and continued that way the rest of his life. I do think Buffett had songwriting skills beyond the "fun" and "clever" label attached to his best known songs. Sometime in the early 90s, he put out a CD marketed to promote acts that have appeared at his chain of restaurants/bar/hotels, with I think one song of his own. It was called Margaritaville Cafe, and "Souvenirs" is a gem. The bridge thru the last verse/chorus always gets me: I still go to pieces But I don't go as often Placeless times in space Where all the edges soften She took me away Where I couldn't send her I knew that she would leave me Something to remember I wanted more than one Until I found the one I wanted Her memories are ghosts now Though I'm still pretty haunted What we gave each other Ain't exactly clear Probably comes under the heading Of souvenirs

Hate to say it but for me, call it a miscellany of mostly misses. 4 and 13 are only ones of real appeal (and I am a little curious on the pianist for #7). Thanks Joe.

Thank you Ken - this may be a new record for the "all BFTs will contain a recording you own but will not recognize" rule. In addition to the two that I helped ID the specifics of, I also own the Hawk recording and the Van Enkhuisen/Horace Parlan record (I also programmed Van Enkhuisen a few years ago for one of my own BFTs). Regarding the Tough Young Tenors recording I find it interesting that several hated on the pianist to one degree or another - I hear Marcus Roberts differently and continue to be a fan.

TECO has been lucky/good with outages mostly all near Tampa proper - I am at far eastern edge of Hillsborough county and outage map shows fewer than 10 customers out anywhere close, total. And TECO is getting work done in the continuing weather, the total out for their service area spiked to 6700 and was back down under 3K now. Feeling very fortunate, just hope our twitchy electric holds up thru remaining rain bands.

6:22 am and all is well so far. Even have power still, which is a surprise, somewhere between "modest" and "major".

I figured it had to be mistaken but I don't think its the most outlandish interpretation of how you described the decision to listen today.

You're not supposed to turn on a generator in the middle of the night during bad weather. We've never thought of needing juice restored while a storm is brewing, we've always gotten things going when the storm passes and we've been able to power up fridge, fans, lights, TV. our only problem is having one generator on the fritz and we have to move the one that works to the pump in order to have water for the horses/cold showers. And move it back to get lights and fridge and fans moving. We also haven't run the generator 24/7, usually shut down overnight which hasn't impacted freezer functionality and conserves gas when that is a concern. I can imagine ... part of the shutting off of generator overnight is how loud they are and in the past we've worried about thieves grabbing things while you sleep. Easy to know who is running one for sure.

With 2800 posts, and a member for 17 years, this is truly your first experience of Blue Train? I guess there is a time for everything. I didn't know it was possible to be a listener for at least 17 years and not have heard this album.

They are not cheap, still.

I guess Gheorghe is really thinking about original, on-the-bandstand at the moment of creation, bop pianists, when, as he says, some might have been less rhythmically on the ball than others. But I agree with you Peter because when these guys were developing, bop was it.

It's forecast for a pretty short stay over land and then over water again but what is odd is predicted wind speed goes 60 down to 45, while over water. That suggests wind flow must turn toward being non-conducive to re-strengthening.

Longer it tracks northward the better for the Tampa/Orlando area. When they say its moving NE - that will really concentrate the models and likely landfall. Wild to see that at the end of forecast track its a TS over the Atlantic, and seemingly moving south and then west. Might somebody in GA or SC get a double dip of this bitch? Or maybe go back to Hurricane status and menace the mid-Atlantic or even the NE?

Glad to wake up to a shifted cone, with the eastern edge now not far from Gainesville. OTOH it is disconcerting when the Hurricane Center prominently mentions how the best models have the storm on the eastern edge of the envelope. Historically not all models are created equal and so I'd like to see some further shifts today as this thing picks up and moves toward landfall. Sue and I still have to secure the grounds and mount plywood over one horse stall door. Earliest arrival of tropical storm force winds is after nightfall so that is good. I think odds are slightly better than even for modest impacts here but who knows. TTK should still sweat a bit and Stonewall is probably in good shape now.

I think each of the Woofy releases have their charms. Consistently strong playing. I've wanted to use a track on a BFT but IIRC most are in the 10 minute range and I didn't want to impose that kind of track time.

Yes but its Renaud.

Hardly the same ... they condensed the original to just the C and D sides so eliminating tracks from the 1977 recording. The irony of this issue is that it would get pushed out in the Various section and could easily be mistaken for tracks recorded during the era and therefore of less interest, if your collection is large enough. But this was living masters recording compositions organized thematically, and while they were very much in their prime. I am hopeful that I am going to enjoy this one alot. And may I say while I like the CD cover best overall, the musicians at the piano bench with photos in their respective pockets gets a thumbs up from me too. I would have been fine if they used that on the CD issue.
