That is the set, and the patch on the jacket, of THE !!!! BEAT. I knew Gatemouth Brown was the leader of the house band but according to this: https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/beat that might be Fathead? That article mentions the replacement of Gatemouth with someone from Nashville who brought his own horn section with him.

Plenty of love here too, but not so much for the super-successful "You'll Never Find ..." era. But the sixties recordings of blues and jazz with great backing groups are excellent.

It's just soupy and barely goes beyond like 3 minutes a cut. Even though Benny Carter did the arrangements its not at all geared toward jazzheads. @TTK would probably love it for the atmospherics - with the right potent potable, and Mrs. TTK.

Not same radio archive source, but it is Chicago Jazz Fest, and soundboard, too. Monk Tribute Chicago Jazz Festival, Chicago, IL 1986-08-27 - Chicago FM radio 01 intro 02 Eronel 03 Ba-lue Bolivar Ba-lues Are 04 Pannonica - Ruby My Dear 05 Little Rootie Tootie 06 Rhythm-a-ning 07 Epistrophy 08 outro Charlie Rouse - tenor sax Barry Harris - piano Cecil McBee - bass Ben Riley - drums

I think I paid $2 for this ... about a $1.50 too much. And I love Sweets.

Gershwin needs to be cancelled, clearly. Maybe we can test the theory of goose/gander with an all-white cast, but rapping the lyrics, a la Hamilton? If Gershwin hadn't written "Summertime" we wouldn't have one of Gene Harris' greatest performances, so count me on his side in this. (For the record, never seen any production of P&B only heard the hits.)

No none of the Allen Housers I have found have anything to do with the Left Bank group. But I am jealous if you saw Arnold Sterling and Allen Houser. Two guys under the radar but they could play.

I didn't even look until now but Schwarber has all of 1 game, with zero put outs, at 1B in the majors. Must have been a 1-2 inning stint? Its just idiotic because he hurts the team if he plays LF, he hurts the team if he DHs (because that means JD is either not in the lineup or playing the outfield himself) and god only knows what the hell he may be at 1B. He sure as hell has virtually zero experience at the position and could screw the team over several times, for all of his all-or-nothing power. And if he becomes a platoon partner of some sort, what was the point? That's your big move at the deadline? A left-handed pull hitter with no place in the lineup. And they'd be idiots, IMHO, to sit the kid and waste his development time as speed off the bench. Not to mention, kill the defense by playing Schwarber out there. David, the Yankee lineup is no longer any sort of breeze with the two additions. At minimum they can clinch a WC birth just by being "savages" again or whatever Boone used to say. Both of them will love that cheap short porch.

Now the Sox trade for Schwarber? Literally no place to put the man (sit Renfroe, the rookie, or Verdugo instead for a shitty defender?) except 1B where I don't think he's ever played. He Ks too often, gets hurt too often, and is all or nothing as a hitter. Who if I am not mistaken is a dead-red pull hitter, ill-suited to Fenway. UGH. Meanwhile the Yankees get Rizzo, a professional hitter and plus defender, to fill another serious need. I swear if I see a graphic of Scherzer with NY cap I'll break the fucking PC monitor. About the only positive thing I can say is that I have prepared my elderly mother that her boyfriend, Mr. Rizzo, was likely to be traded by the end of the month. She assured me she will not become a Yankee fan if that's where he ends up. I hope she remembers that promise.

Well to answer my question, I'd forgotten that Joey Gallo was available. That really changes & lengthens the top of that order. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a Yankee gallop to the Wild Card, where presumably they'd have Cole start a play-in game and that would be a best-case scenario for any Wild Card winner. Ugh. (and BTW fewer than 70 posts in the season's MLB thread and its the end of July???)

Supposedly the A's are getting Starling Marte. Were the Yankees connected to any other outfield help? Two more months of the nothing-left-in-the-tank Brett Gardiner is not going to help the Yanks very much (even if he did help them steal a win from the Sox last weekend).

If they could turn strawberries into it, they would.

I'm sure that's true ... but my recollection was it was the loss of a lung or a portion that really effected him? I didn't think specifically lung cancer but I am sure that makes sense. Anyway I never thought he sounded inhibited on his last regular studio date, Breakthrough. Different, but not inhibited.

Count me and the Mrs. among the "won't ever consider a sample of fake beef, ever."

I thought that his lung problems were tied to specific medical event(s) in the 70s?

My personal feeling is the hope that enough die to substantially overcome vaccine hesitancy among those who do not get it but might somehow come to terms with the reality. But socially/politically, is this realistic? Second point is that I don't feel like enforced masking is the right choice anymore. If you want to, fine, have at it. But the aggravation (I wear glasses, its hard enough dealing with steamy Florida going in and out of A/C without masks) just to protect others, when those likely to have the worst outcomes are the ones refusing to vaccinate? There are preliminary indications the UK Delta-surge is abating which is an interesting indication of what their total protection - partial, full, "natural" - may be.

I have been, at best, agnostic about his writing but I have determined I will get this for my birthday in September, one way or another.

If any of his claims are accurate, Ben Zobrist married a real piece of work: https://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/cubs/ct-chicago-cubs-ben-zobrist-julianna-divorce-documents-20210719-vo2ardtjevgwxfrf5t52ksg5vy-story.html (I think its obvious she's an appalling person regardless, it takes balls the size of grapefruit to have an affair ... with your Pastor ... leading to Zobrist taking a leave of absence from the Cubs in 2019 due to the mental anguish/stress her actions caused, and now she makes legal claims in their divorce action that he failed to preserve marital assets by foregoing his baseball salary. Because she was banging their Pastor and never stopped doing it. It's obvious she engineered his return at the end of 2019 by starting marital counseling in bad faith, still banging the pastor boyfriend, so that Zobrist would resume his career and cash those big checks one more time.)

Making assumptions after 8 hours isn't a good look. There aren't that many musicians on this board to give constructive criticism. Last thing I'll say is, IMHO, using the board entirely as a sounding board for your efforts also isn't a great look. Consider engaging with the community and joining discussions. Look up Grant Green threads and add your own thoughts. Otherwise I think of you as a spammer, just spamming your own creations instead of product other people created/produced. My 2 cents and nothing more.

A few? I'd be shocked if he gets fewer than 5. And yes, you won, but did anyone say anything to anyone about reacting in real time to what the hell is going on in the game? It's one of the most embarrassing failures I've ever seen, a t-ball player would have run to the damn ball but nobody reacted.

Yeah that's pretty insane. Be interesting to see what penalty Rojas gets. Shades of the Amazins, not the team that's supposed to win the division. I think maybe it was touching the edge of the chalk when he shoveled it away. Stupid pitcher, by every possible definition. Even if you let it roll and concede the base hit, better than shoveling it away then standing there with your hands on your hip. Freaking little league play.

With the Yankees losing Judge, Urshela, and a decent bullpen piece for 10 days to Covid, could the next two weeks turn them into sellers at the trade deadline? Their next two weeks: Red Sox, Phils, Red Sox, Rays. For a team in need of consistent offense and wins, losing two starters including their best hitter is a gut punch. Now, time for a gut check.

Indeed, very frightening - hope everyone and their friends/loved ones are OK.

Ellipses signify that I edited for clarity - you know, words missing and in some cases added, signified by the parentheses. I also state "adopted from" WKCR broadcast. (As you may have heard, Phil can be a bit verbose. ) Glad you like the audio clips. Percy had a huge and expressive sound and was by no means just an R&B type player. And he loved standards and Ellingtonia. The earliest tune he probably played was "A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody" but the oldest one I've seen is "Blue Bossa" and I only have a few examples of him playing that, "Sonnymoon for Two" or "In Walked Bud." (and thanks for spotting the Bill Easley error.)
