Like chicken soup, it couldn't hurt.

There's a Schildkraut photo and cassette from the gig pictured in the Gaskin Papers (I know, not really apropos to the subject of the thread but I thought this was pretty cool and Allen's post gave me an excuse to share).

I am going to ignore Rebekah Jones because it will unfortunately veer into politics. But Jones as a "hero" let alone some brave "victim" is beyond laughable. As for your chart proving some still-high death rates, what are you looking at?? I barely perceive a "bump" and if you look at it from the end of the prior high to the current numbers, the best fit looks like a decline and if not a decline, it's flat.

Please identify this supposed arrest in Florida. You are aware (or maybe not) that several state figures show more than 50% of hospitalizations are "with COVID" not "because of COVID"? And that there was NO surge in deaths this winter? Certainly nothing comparable to the prior two years ...

A new Mark Russell program on channel 13 in NY was required viewing when I was growing up and a good time beyond. RIP

I don't know where I even fall, I've received many Mosaics over the year but always requested as Christmas presents. So I started receiving around, say, the age of 35. OTOH I have not purchased one myself ummm ... ever. Closest I came was a preorder a few years ago which, in a moment of financial worry, was able to cancel. I guess I am just not excited enough about any of their releases in the past 10-15 years. For the record I am no TTK and love the concept and execution and wish them sufficient success to continue as a going concern until they decide to end it, as Lon said, when all finally retire.

As Otis Rush sang, I Can't Quit You Baby.

Wasn't there a Peanuts where Charlie Brown name-checked a jazz star? I don't think it was Schroeder.

You won't find many of those other recordings very easily but ... www.percyfrance.info https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=percy+france+playlist The latter has many private recordings of Percy on stage in NY clubs in the 1980s.

The Complete Percy France 80s Recordings Four produced by Allen Lowe (one "issued") Oliver Jackson Presents Le Quartet (Black & Blue - about 1/2 of tracks feature Percy) Two recordings led by Lance Hayward on Town Crier - one features Percy as sole saxophone, other features front line of Percy and Buddy Tate) This is, in my totally unbiased and disinterested opinion, a latter day Tina Brooks set. A man whose few widespread recordings got him pigeon-holed as a grits and gravy organsouljazz tenor who was in fact much more than that.

Really? Couldn't we take advantage of Scooter's faux pax and start fresh on this new thread? No more Bill Barron, or Three Sounds, unissued or otherwise ... something or someone a bit fresher?

Unpopular opinion: Cables ruins these recordings for me with his clingy/clangy dissonant piano. Give me any other pianist Dex ever performed with, from this era, or better yet, Kenny Drew.

Fear not, shouldn't most of it be on the Wayback Machine? Maybe some kind soul can find the last archived version and post a link?

Thread starters have always had power to delete a thread. I have a vague recollection of a disgruntled member doing that to several threads before his departure but I'm not 100% on that.

This appeared on FB yesterday which I believe was Ben's birthday. A nice photo.

I completely disagree, I think the judge is right on the law. When libraries pay for the right to license e-books and lend them out, the Internet Archive turns that on its head by skipping that part. They should have offered PD books only. I also wonder why they started this up at the start of the pandemic, and have since stopped? If their theory of "fair use" is unquestionably correct, they should have kept doing it. I also note that when Google decided to digitize books they settled a lawsuit by limiting the number of pages available for free. That is fair use.

Yeah but Mark upped his style quotient to infinity when he adopted the hat look.

I don't know his frontline but recording for an important label - just look at other signees that haver recorded for them, I once thought of the label as a latter day Sharp Nine/Criss Cross. So thumbs way up for our fearless leader.

Cool and impressive. And as a poor excuse for a vary amateur guitarist, I hate that his fingers are about 40% longer than mine and capable of doing what he does.

YO MAMA!

I have this pre-ordered from Amazon ... based on a radio broadcast I have from later in the same month, it's likely that their Volume 2 will have Joe Williams, assuming volume 2 is from the same show. (Why this would need to be broken up I know not.)

Thanks for posting this.

https://nypost.com/2023/03/10/florida-dad-shoots-naked-man-in-bed-with-teen-daughter-cops/ Apparently literally went into wrong bedroom, didn't sexually assault the young woman. She should have handled it like my sister did when I was 13 and she was 17 and had to share a bed on vacation in Newport, RI: "touch me and I'll kick you where you live." OK maybe not the same thing but if she told Dad that he hadn't touched her ...

The Times has a review that made me think everything except the music is awful ... a full of himself interviewer trying to make Monk say something. Of course that might be entertaining to an extent, for Monk being himself. But honestly it sounded annoying and awful. Except for the music.

I remember paying about $8, used, for the two-fer reissue Rooster references, definitely at a time when no one thought of CD as collector items or simply getting so rare that they could overcharge as is apparently the case now.
