I guess you haven't heard that John Cleese is working on a musical version of Life of Brian and has been told in no uncertain terms that the scene featuring Eric Idle's desire to be a woman named Loretta and to have children is absolutely unacceptable today. God bless John Cleese for telling them all to piss off.

Thanks for jumping in @webbcity.

I'll take your word for it. "Walk the Dinosaur" was not, IMHO, an interesting song. Since that was the sum total of my knowledge of the current BN Pres, I was not exactly impressed when he got hired.

If it is he apparently approved it. But I am wondering more about live recordings after the return to the label more than archival items. If there are Left Bank tapes coming because someone like Hank was contracted to the label that would be fantastic. But only on CD and I am not at all holding my breath.

Nice performances.

Yes video source.

All posts from Clifford Jordan/Cedar Walton on are video snips.

Nope.

Glad to hear Bellinger is headed back to the Cubbies, I think they now have a strong shot at the playoffs if not the Division. And if I haven't said it in so many words, John Henry is losing every bit of good will that 4 WS championships brings. Another last place finish seems inevitable and there if they sniff a .500 record it will be in the 81-83 win range. Pathetic.

@tkeith Hoping some folks try to puzzle out the alto before the end of the month. So far we've eliminated Red Holloway, Charlie Williams, Chris Woods, Hank Crawford, Lockjaw and Cleanhead. My hint is, this well-regarded player had a few leader dates but is best known as a sideman/feature soloist.

Link in opening post is NEW and good to 3-01

I get notifications of comments on youtube posts both to my email and on the site itself. One would still know messages that got 'deleted' by the uploader/owner of the channel regardless of whether it is still seen or not.

I originally heard AT&T only (I have spectrum) but maybe others too? This was for South Florida area co-worker.

@John Tapscott posted but Announcements sub-forum seems to not allow responses. Has anyone heard from our friend Bill F? He hasn't posted in some time. I hope he is OK.

Reminder this link is active until early Friday February 23rd. No one has downloaded yet so I have no idea if there is need or interest or if there will be any further discussion of this BFT.

Yusef Lateef.

@HutchFan @Gheorghe glad you enjoyed them.

Oslo 1975

I missed the Shelley Manne Reel to Real release on my first scan. I think that and probably the Nat are top targets for me. Uncertain of the McDuff due to uncertainty about the saxophonists listed. Would have been a no-brainer if Red Holloway was still in the band. The Lateef is probably next but frankly, uncertain due to the year. If it had been archival from ten years earlier ...

I thought maybe a separate thread would be a good place. The link below is new as of 2-23 and good past the end of the month: https://wetransfer.com/downloads/5b8346cd7c905d1900871c69c36237bd20240223125226/07484f8300bd2983ad29bc92e1f6c6d520240223125242/890db4?trk=TRN_TDL_01&utm_campaign=TRN_TDL_01&utm_medium=email&utm_source=sendgrid There is a zip file and individual MP3s as well.

We will see how Thom's fight with his website host company goes but I can offer a way to keep the BFT Party going: I can zip the tunes for 239, and 240 if Thom isn't up and running by March 1, and offer via a WeTransfer link. Post here if you'd like to still participate in February and I can start with BFT 239. I am away Friday afternoon-Sunday afternoon but will post a download link (which are good for seven days) ASAP if anybody requests one.
