Dan Gould

A very nice compilation, track 12 was the only tune with zero appeal. Unfortunately, not a lot of names popping out at me as I listened though: 1) Bit before my time - was this Marty's first jazz 78? Or maybe a tribute to dear old Dad who introduced him to jazz? 3) Stanley Cowell? Got that late 60s-70s vibe. 6) Basie. 7) KD on trumpet? 9) Sounds to me like a more straightahead CTI track with Bags. 14) Isn't this a Monk tune?

How does a French mirror site come into being? Is this a Google translation of everything, on the fly?

Damn ... imagine how I might be if I was still the GHF.

I think its utterly ridiculous to say that Rich is insignificant or undeserving of the Mosaic treatment. As Jim says, like him or hate him, you ought to be able to recognize him for what he was. And I say that while tending to agree with Brad about the CD with Sweets and about the relative appeal of Rich as a drummer vs Blakey as a drummer. This one is not on my short list of Mosaic sets that I really want. But Rich as an "odd choice" for a Mosaic set? That's just nuts.

Yeah, but I have a feeling the studio doesn't expect wham-bam business to go with the wham-bam car scenes and Jessie's bodacious ta-tas, or else they'd have opened it earlier in the summer in hopes of a long summer run. But I'm sure it will make mucho dinero when it hits the DVD shelves and everyone buys it to see Jessie trying to fill out those Daisy Dukes.

Are you sure their the voices of people? Maybe what you're hearing is this.

When my wife and I went to Boston in June, we only made it to Stereo Jack's, and its the only place I'd return to ...

I predict you won't get there. Care to predict how your teams jaunt through New York and Boston next week will go? C'mon, tell us. 6-0? 5-1?

A very happy 5-0 to my first, and still best, Internet jazz buddy.

No, but come to think of it, with the Astro's turnaround, its still possible that you could see the rocket at Fenway in October. That would be a helluva sight.

No question. One of the reasons that there weren't a lot of moves was the surprising number of teams that still think they are in contention. That will change before August is out, and yes, some of those players will be available. I wouldn't be surprised if Soriano goes once Texas fades out of the race (sorry Big Al, but this isn't a secret to you, is it?) and maybe Billy Wagner gets offered when the Phils fade, too. Maybe the Sox deal for Wagner if Foulke doesn't return on time or doesn't show a return to form? If I am not mistaken, though, a trade does have to be made by the end of August, because post-season rosters can only come from players on the roster on September 1, isn't that right?

More on Palmiero from today's NYT: This may completely destroy his chances of reaching the HoF. What a legacy, from pointing his finger at Congress, to testing positive for the same steroid that Ben Johnson used, and something that's not in any dietary supplement. Pathetic.

Just keep taking care of the Yanks, and you'll start climbing closer to the Wild Card, and help the Sox establish some control over first place. Meanwhile, the Yanks declined Bernie's option, which was no surprise, but apparently Bernie plans to keep playing and his agent seems to think that he'll just move to a corner outfield position, and Bernie thinks he might stay with the Yanks anyway ... but how could that happen with Matsui presumably re-signing, and Sheffield still with another year in right? Kinda sad watching Bernie these past months, and the Yanks may regret not making a move for a center fielder before the deadline.

That would be unfortunate, as the proper contraction is "y'all"... ← Actually it's "yawl", a distinct word, not a contraction. But render unto Caesar and all that. Gotta let massa think we's all happy and educated and shit. ← Is that a Texas thing or what? Everywhere I've been in the South, its "y'all" - a contraction of "you all".

Got em today also and very much looking forward to them. And having hung with Marty a bit, who knows, I may have an insight to some of the artists he likes so maybe I'll even get a few this time. Or else, I'll just guess Rollins on every cut. Gotta be right on at least one.

How the heck did this get in there?

Definitely things of interest here but most of all, Mosaic deserves a for creating this new web page in the first place.

I don't think the O's will mind giving Sosa some time off. Heaven knows, as a Cub fan, I was ready to give him the rest of his career off. That really sucks about Rafi. Just when I was hoping Baltimore could turn it around and get back in the thick of it. They still might, I guess, but their momentum has been vaporizing. BTW, if you Google "Joe Morgan" "Jealous" "Ryne Sandberg" (or try "Petty") you'll see at least some recent articles on that whole deal. But it's been pretty obvious from various interviews and comments over the years that Big Red Morgan doesn't like sharing the love. Except his man-love for Barry Bonds or Pujols, but that's another story. ← I haven't noticed your posts before, evonce, but I like your style. And being a Cub fan doesn't hurt either (born into a Cub family, I took a detour to another team with a history of woe, though I'll always root for the Cubbies.)

Breaking news on ESPN.com: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2121659 You gotta be a flipping moron to get caught this year. The only positive I can see is that maybe now Congress will call Sammy back, see if they can break him.

Well, it may be, but this is the first time I've heard of it that I can think of. But all the more reason to dislike Morgan, as Sandberg should have been a first-ballot election, and Morgan's "absence" should have occured two years ago.

Wow! At this rate, it will probably top Bird with Strings as CP's biggest seller. Next you'll tell me that Herbie/Christina is number one.

Well of course, McCarver's schtick grew old a long, long time ago! Actually, my distaste for Morgan really started when he covered the College World Series some time ago and had some really obnoxious things to say about my alma mater, Florida State.

What's this about Joe Morgan? I've grown to despise the man as an analyst, never more so than when he defended A-Rod's glove-slap in the ALCS by asking, "So he's more of a man for letting himself be tagged out?" But if you're saying that Joe Morgan didn't show because he thinks Rhyno doesn't belong ...

Glad to see the album is being spotlighted, but when will the website be updated? I couldn't find any reference to the band on the home page.

Shouldn't this be changed to "they had people with sensitivities like Dan Gould's in mind"? I've butted heads with Clem on this board, but these kinds of behind-the-back insults are lame. Guy ← And how exactly is it a behind-the-back insult??? Last time I checked, this was a public forum. If Clem is lurking or ever comes back, it will be right there for him to see.
