That juiced ball thing is disconcerting for sure. And I find the whole DraftKings sponsorship repugnant. On to the news of the day for Sox fans (pending the apparent possibility that Boegarts will sign with them after all): Kenley Jansen as closer for the next two years? I understand the overall appeal of a way above-average reliever but this guy has: Declining stuff - check out average speeds in last few years; over age 30 long-standing heart issues Multiple post-season failures. The team could be better with Tanner Houk possibly as swingman for 2 innings at a time or in rotation, Jansen will probably firm up the back end rather well. But if he stays healthy he'll probably give me a heart attack in the post-season because I won't be expecting much given his history.

I assume the report is true and it will be interesting to see how much longer Judge is truly elite, not to mention whether the last two years or his first several are most indicative of his ability to stay on the field. When will this deal become a terrible one, because at 31, a 9 year deal is going to go south eventually? And of course the big question for Yankee fans: Will Judge become that mythical "true Yankee" and win a ring? For me I am pretty certain the Red Sox will watch Boegarts depart and that will be a disaster. Why John Henry had to become such a cheapskate I will not fathom. If he's going to go, I hope he signs with the Cubs, who had a strong second half and some exciting young talent. Maybe Bellinger is healthy and performs like an MVP again. The Cubs could be dangerous with some additions. And I hate to say it but I think the Mets are smarter with Verlander on a short deal than deGrom. They are no worse now than they were at the end of the season.

Realizing there is no respect for the artist's estate or legal interests by this company, and remembering that I had once interacted with Greg Silver about another Horace Silver boot, I've dug up that email and sent a new message to Greg.

The entire LP from 1964 should have been issued, IMO instead of a reissue of something that came out twice before and 1/2 of the LP. https://www.discogs.com/release/2679867-Horace-Silver-Live-1964

Thanks, Hutch, Chuck and GA. Now I plan to milk the injury as long as I can, to avoid offloading any hay bales until well into 2023. 😁

I was thinking that too, as I was posting earlier.

I'd consider it but I know the dumbass owners don't even have animal liability coverage so what's the point? They ain't got a dime between them.

Update, for those curious: Primary care doc (whose specialty is non-surgical orthopedics, among other things) felt that it does not need a cast and will heal in about six weeks. This was verified this morning with new imaging of forearm, wrist and elbow - only forearm was damaged by Penny's half-hearted kick. Fortunately. Improvement is such that I am once again typing with two hands so ... very thankful it wasn't way worse as it would have been if she hit my torso, and no cast is a great relief too.

how about you come here to talk about jazz? Otherwise you are nothing but a spammer.

Only McGriff to HoF from this batch, and unanimously. Has any committee voted unanimously since they started this reconsideration process? Anyway I am good with it but disappointed that Schilling didn't make it. I thought the committee makeup was in his favor. He fully deserves it on his career. The other stuff ... whatever.

Wow, that sucks. I have my own. Kicked by one of our horses last week. Non-displaced fracture of right forearm. Due to crappy HMO god knows when I will see orthopedist for casting. OTOH a few inches to left and would have been ribs and/or spine. The latter might have f-ed up the rest of my days, so there's that!

Took until now to realize how hard a thrower he was. And he finished what he started. Does anyone recall a Saturday game of the week segment where Garagiola caught Perry, and he went thru the exact same motions, and one pitch was dry and the next, left an oil slick in Joe's glove? Hysterical - and it made you think.

I didn't really know if Beymer sang - or maybe I did, but the reality is the visual ties to the song so its still Beymer I think of. And I can say there are two "Felser" tracks selected, others that may very well appeal. Only one that I can say is definitely not your cuppa, since the composition pre-dates your jazz preferences.

1 . NO. Does nothing for me. Apparently someone I knew later in her career when she made no significant impression. However I think she played the roadhouse blues singer in A Soldier’s Story? I will say if she ever recorded an album like that (?) I would want to hear it. 2. Don’t hate but kinda wears out it’s welcome. Feels like “let’s play on this for 9 minutes” - as proven by the quick fade. 3. Lost me right at jump but I held out for the bone solo. Until the sax started up. NEXT. 4. The effects/production give it a time and place I have no feel/interest. Turrentine doesn’t save it because I don’t want to hear him wailing over the muck. And what is with the g-d fades? So many with fade outs reinforces my sense of commercialized music performed to get to 40 minutes in the can. 5. Sorry for me it’s Richard Beymer all the way and forever for me. As far as I am concerned this is putrid. 6. A tiny bit curious if the sax is a recognizable name. 7. More vocals and production from an era that never appealed, sorry. 8. Moody piano a most welcome change of pace. Glad the mood is maintained thru out. A thousand stars. (real rating, 2.5 to 3 stars) 9. Goodbye at 2 minutes but it should have been sooner. I give my buddy the benefit of the doubt that way. 10. Couldn’t make it to a minute. #9 is sounding better all the time. 11. No. 12. Vocalist sounds sort of familiar. 13. I made it to the halfway point. 14. Well short is better. Was 8 the late 50s track? Thanks Felser I hope you are gentler with my January compilation.

Isn't it still possible to rectify?

Big Al in the house? Seems like forever but good to see.

Thank you Andy. I've been following the traffic stats this month and there has been a very nice jump in number of visitors as well as time spent on the memorial site. Going to wait until December 1 to tally it all up though.

Thanks for bringing this thread back up Rooster. I was folding clothes this morning and wanted to add to my prior report about the quality of the Etsy seller https://www.etsy.com/shop/RootsMusicTShirts?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=908301931 I would say I wear each of what I purchased at least once every ten days so these have gone thru a lot of washes. Quality remains very high so in the holiday season if anyone was thinking of these as a purchase or gift request, buy/request with confidence! I especially liked this one https://www.etsy.com/listing/908301931/jazz-music-t-shirt-album-cover-artwork?click_key=a5f391d87486355e66a88c3eff29a2d799c1e4f0%3A908301931&click_sum=cf2caf26&ref=shop_home_recs_1&pro=1&sts=1

I have added Volume 6 & 7 details in my original post and below: Volume 6: Benny Carter, alto saxophone Harry “Sweets” Edison, trumpet Derek Smith, piano George Duvivier, bass Ronnie Bedford, drums Volume 7: Benny Carter, alto saxophone Chris Neville, piano Steve LaSpina, bass Jackie Williams, drums

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/11/rangers-hire-will-venable-as-associate-manager.html So can someone explain "Associate Manager"? Is that tenure-track or just adjunct?

I could be wrong and I bought the CD just for the extra track, singular.

I was motivated to relisten by Joe's comment. I do not find the session meritless. If I remember correctly, Blue Lament appeared only years later on a CD reissue? I know I replaced the vinyl I had when I found out that a CD - Music of Kenny Dorham - had several extra tracks.

First on my list of Christmas requests.

Suddenly I'm starting to remember that -especially the Mets connection. 🤯 So folks, what is the over/under? 40%?
