Dan Gould

Not a big discography but you can see what he's on if you go to the allmusic site, look up his page, and click "credits".

I have an LP transfer and I'm almost 100% certain he does not.

Good to know - I'm not so disappointed that Marty doesn't have that one. Thanks, Bertrand. There's also a two tune, 27 minute set of the Gilmore Messengers in Paris. Says circa 1964, but checking Mike Fitzgerald's site, it must have been February 27 or 28, 1965. Then there's this from Mike's site: And in catalog of VHS tapes, 60 minutes of one of the Japanese tours, including three tunes with a "Japanese big band" and Bill Henderson on "My Funny Valentine". Did I mention how cool Marty's VHS collection is?

Forgive me, but "infamous" how? Also, do you know if the Blakey with Gilmore was the source for that Moon CD of that group, or was that some other concert?

I went with lime, though with diet coke I'll take either. Anyone else suck on the lemon after you've finished the soda? My wife gives me weird faces when I do it, but I don't care. Me likey!

Thanks for the info. Wish I knew more about what else might be available on VHS. In addition to what I mentioned above, Marty also has the Monk concert and the Woody Herman, and for that matter, maybe more, because he hasn't catalogued all the VHS, just the first 23 tapes.

That was exactly the point I was making, Marty. For the record, I think I own two of these, and I do enjoy them a lot but don't think of them as desert island material. That's just me and my 78.

Our friend Marty has let me start making transfers of his extensive collection of jazz on VHS, and one of the programs he has originated in London in the mid-60s, and I'm wondering if anyone knows more about "Jazz 625" hosted by Steve Race. Some great talents appeared on the show, including a two-part JJ Johnson-Sonny Stitt-Howard McGhee group doing Parker tunes; Art Farmer with the same group that appeared on the Jazz Casual show except its Pete LaRoca on drums, Hawk with Sweets, Webster with Stan Tracey and Ronnie Scott for one tune, Benny Golson ... anyone else seen this stuff, and does anyone know anything about the show itself?

The Joe Carroll features Grant Green.

Thanks, but I've read it several times. Each time it says that you are telling people what they should value and how much.

Why can't/shouldn't people get "carried away" if that's the way they feel about these recordings? Are you the jazz police, ready to tell people what they should value and how much they can value it?

I sent a PM to Jim about this, since Allen's transfer is en route, but I guess Jim's a bit busy what with the recording session and all ... Actually, there's another possibility for hearing this, though it would take a bit longer: Michael Cuscuna has told me that, if he figures out a way to do a Three Sounds Mosaic, and if there's space and the music is good, and if Gene's widow approves, he'd definitely like to include this as an earliest known recording. (And I ran it by Janie Harris and she's happy to give her consent, and she hasn't even heard it yet!)

Who knows. It seem as though his arm was fine with many pitches in the low to mid nineties. He wasn't wild (didn't walk anyone) but threw quite a few pitches, especially in the 2nd inning when he gave up 4 runs. Probably not a lot of movement on the ball early as the AAA batters were not fooled and were hitting the ball hard. He didn't get his first K until about the third inning and that was on a batter fouling off a bunt with 2 strikes. Well, the ESPN report leaves no doubt that Schilling expects to make his debut, and it also makes it sound like he was a bit better than his number suggested, at least after the 2nd inning:

Not good. I wonder if he's going to make his scheduled debut against the Yanks on the 13th.

They're replacing two guys whose combined ERA last year was well over 5, with two guys whose combined ERA last year was around 3.5. To dismiss Clement is foolish. With the ERA he posted and the batting average he allowed, he's a 17 game winner if the Cubs had provided even halfway decent run support. With the Sox offense that led the league in runs and has Trot Nixon healthy and Renteria instead of Pokey/injured Nomar/free swinging Cabrera, the Sox will almost certainly not only lead the league in runs scored yet again, but break 1000. And even if Clement or Wells don't perform, we've got Wade Miller waiting, and he was the Astros NUMBER ONE starter. Replacing Pedro's and Lowe's wins is not going to be a problem. But health will be a major problem for the Yanks. It'll be a miracle if Kevin Brown makes 15 starts. It will be a minor miracle if Jaret Wright makes all of his starts. And Tanyon Sturtze is your sixth starter? Gee, who would you feel better with, Tanyon Sturtze or Wade Miller? Just as you refuse to worry about Mo based on two appearances, I'm not about to start worrying about Wells and Clement based on a start a piece, or decide that the Yanks starters are better "any day". That's dreamworld.

I have to assume that's Mussina based on his history, not today's performance. 9 hits, Marty, saved only by DPs. He's getting old, had injury problems last year, and has never won 20 games in his career. Pavano had a nice day, no doubt, but he's still has exactly one 18 win season and a good post-season to his credit, and that's all. And let's not forget that Kevin Brown is already on the DL, and talking about the fact that it will all depend on how much pain he can tolerate. No one to back up the aged or injury prone starters but Tanyon Sturtze, while the Sox have a former staff ace waiting in the wings. I likes our chances.

I saw this listed on Alan's site and figured it would be a winner. Definitely one that's on the list ...

Since we've had a Spring Training thread and a predictions thread, I figured maybe we should have a single dedicated thread for the season itself. So, my old buddy Dave James, that's a staggering four straight save opportunities blown by Mo Rivera, this one resulting in the loss. A little worrisome? Rivera acted very offended after Tuesday's blown save, that no adjustments are needed, but after that ugly inning, Rivera's sure to deal with some doubting sportswriters who probably won't shut up til he closes 4 or 5 in a row against the Sox. Despite the annoyance of Tuesday's game, I'm perfectly happy coming out of New York 1-2.

Still lookin' dorky!

Great news and a great idea, Jim. Any chance we'll hear those excellent pipes on this one?

And not to ignore the question - this is a great set, almost certainly my favorite non-Mosaic box. And as Lon says, disc 8 is NOT filler!

I did notice but I didn't want to say anything. B-)

I'd just like to say that this discovery blows away my discovery of a couple of weeks ago.

Looks like this thread is the only one, and its only a month old. I bet we covered the topic in greater detail on Board Krypton.

I'm not playing til I get my weight under control. Turning 40 in September and having turned into, join with me here, Chuck, a fat fuck, has me pondering mortality and I don't need no longevity game just now ...
