Ron Thorne's son Justin (jtx), an administrator of jazztalk.net, has posted a beautiful tribute to Ron in the form of a banner there. If you wish, go take a look ---

Ron was an outstanding friend. R.I.P.

I knew it! Jokes aside though, free jazz audiences are predominantly male.
Now you seem to know that some women do in fact like "real musIc." I won't pursue this any further, but I think you're making progress. Maybe you could discuss the situation with a female free jazz musician. — Rita

Right. (I'll leave it at that.)

Nope. Not one. It's chromosomal, you know.
That's correct — not one woman likes real music. I always thought it was hormonal, but that's just me, Rita.

I also heard Fortune blow the roof with Nat Adderly-- a combo that is captured IIRC on two CDs.
I don't know whether Fortune was the leader on any recordings with Nat Adderley, but per Wikipedia,
As sideman . . .
With Nat Adderley
On the Move (Theresa, 1983)
Blue Autumn (Theresa, 1985)
Autumn Leaves (Sweet Basil, 1990 [1991])
Work Song: Live at Sweet Basil (Sweet Basil, 1990 [1993])
(And apparently they all made it to CD.)

I remember R.Crumb's jazz cards and his blues cards but not his country (music) cards, though I've seen a few of the country cards' illustrations in isolation. On Amazon, I just saw each of the three — blues, jazz, and country by R.Crumb — reissued in 2017 and available as sets of cards. That's in addition to the book that features the illustrations from all three.
They are listed as follows on Amazon:
Heroes of the Blues Boxed Trading Card Set by R. Crumb
Early Jazz Greats Boxed Trading Card Set by R. Crumb
Pioneers of Country Music Boxed Trading Card Set by R. Crumband the book is listed as
R. Crumb's Heroes of Blues, Jazz & Country
The book comes "along with an exclusive 21-track CD of music selected and compiled by Crumb himself . . . " and a bio of each musician.

I dare say it's fairly famous but Chris Farlowe recorded 'Stormy Monday blues' pts 1 & 2, which was issued on Island Records Sue label under the name of 'Little Joe Cook'.
AFAIK, that's not an example of a hoax; it's just using a pseudonym to designate the recording artist for a piece of music that's not meant to be a joke.

The illustrious Hans Groiner (do y'all know who his alter ego is?):

If you use Firefox, there are several add-ons for this. I've never heard of a Firefox add-on with malware but I may be wrong about that.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?platform=windows&q=you%20tube%20audio
2,329 results for "you tube audio"
Fortunately, one can filter the results by add-on type and operating system and sort them by various properties, including being top-rated.

It strikes me as peculiar that while bashing Eric Alexander or Scott Hamilton is common by some, I don't recall any bashing of Junior Cook or Jimmy Heath.
Maybe because Junior Cook died in 1992 and Jimmy Heath is 91 (I see)?

I'll confess my ignorance and say I've never heard, or heard of, Ingrid Laubock.
So now you have! It's Laubrock, with an R. She's originally from Germany; she and the drummer Tom Rainey are married. She's done a lot of playing with the guitarist Mary Halvorson as well as with Rainey, but lately she's been writing and recording orchestral music.
Several years ago I saw her with Capricorn Climber, a group led by the pianist Kris Davis. Davis didn't impress me much, but Ingrid Laubrock knocked me out!
(Thanks, y'all who commented on the tenor players I suggested.)

Ingrid Laubrock
Tony Malaby
Ellery Eskelin
They too, IMO, "can be deep in the tradition and be very fiery and distinctive" (—Milestones).

Above, I asked who the bassist was. I've since been told and received a confirmation that it's Teddy Kotick.

And he might have been high.
Yep.
A question (for anyone): Who is on bass? If it should be obvious, sorry I don't know.

I wouldn't say that that's a flaw in Lenny's hipness, just a verbal typo. And maybe at that point in his life, he'd never even been there. . . .
From what he said, he'd been there. But very well, a verbal typo, or an oral typo.
-
In that clip, the only flaw in Lenny's hipness is that he repeatedly calls MoMA the "Modern Museum of Art." And I made sure that he meant MoMA by checking on where a couple of the artworks shown are and were housed.

And a Facebook post by Anaya Bluiett, his daughter, after his death:
"Hamiet Bluiett Update: My dad has parted his ways PEACEFULLY today October 4th, 2018 at 3:10pm. I don't know how I'm feeling right now but I do know this: he will be celebrated the way he'd want to be celebrated. I love you forever and ALWAYS and your legacy will live on through me! #DaddysGirlForever"

I know that Die Hard is a Christmas movie because many years ago, a friend played it for me at Christmastime and told me so. Ditto for Die Hard 2. I'd never seen them before, and I haven't seen them since.

Yes, Aruan Ortiz comes off as a real dick as well. I liked that guy's music. . . .
So did/do I, a lot. In the case of Ortiz in particular, it's really hard for me to reconcile the artistry with the dickishness.

"Louis C.K. has finally addressed one of the comedy world’s biggest open secrets: the stories of sexual misconduct that have trailed him for years.
'These stories are true,' he wrote in a statement of remorse shared with HuffPost. . . .

I generally have no idea what recordings they're using as sources, but to my ears, some of the tracks sound fantastic. Listen to the broadcast or the online stream here:
