1) I think of jazz-rock as jazz musicians playing with a rock drummer. Larry Coryell, Steve Marcus, If, Manfred Mann Chapter Three, etc. 2) I was lucky and came across Blues Happening when it was new. One side (I think it was Side 1) is one of my most favorite records. 3) Mike beat me to mentioning Wolfgang Dauner. I have an album called Rischkas Soul (it should be Rischka's Soul), which showed that his heart was in the right place.

Yes. During the summer I listen to bossa nova, surf guitar and surfing music. When the weather turns cooler (after Labor Day), I put away all that sand-between-my-toes music, and pull out the indoor and city sidewalk-type music.

Thanks, Daniel! I'm pretty sure that when I was in school, an LP gold record indicated 350,000 in sales. The idea was $1 million, or $3.00 times 350,000. Chuck would know.

He was very proud of this recording, which I played drums on and produced. He loved the classic Christmas recording, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Leroy Anderson, music that told the story of the season. It was a great pleasure for him to be able to present his tribute to the most wondrous of holidays! Merry Christmas, Reid Hoyson AVAILABLE TODAY Focus Holiday Song: #11 The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on An Open Fire) (Duet with John Legend) A unique holiday album that weaves Nat’s distinctive, beautifully restored vocals with new arrangements and contemporary artists, the collection features virtual duets of holiday classics with Kristin Chenoweth, Gloria Estefan, John Legend, Johnny Mathis, and Calum Scott; a full tracklist is below. Based on archival photos of Nat, watch/share hand-drawn visualizers for each of the album’s tracks here. Co-produced by Jay Landers (Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond, Barry Gibb) and GRAMMY® Award winner and Oscar nominee Jorge Calandrelli (Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga), who also arranged and conducted, the album’s material was sourced from Cole’s timeless album, “The Christmas Song,” and other recordings from his esteemed catalog. The album was co-produced, mixed, and mastered by multi-GRAMMY-winning engineer and mixer Dave Reitzas (Natalie Cole, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion). Reitzas was responsible for mixing the historic Grammy®-winning virtual duet, “Unforgettable,” by Natalie and Nat King Cole. Born in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1919, Nathaniel Adams Coles was one of four sons of the First Baptist Church’s pastor Edward Coles. Nat’s mother, Perlina Coles, a choir director at the church, taught him piano at four. In 1921, the family moved to Chicago, seeking a better life in the prospering towns of the north. Nat became obsessed with the inescapable sound of Chicago jazz. Mastering the piano at a young age was central to his artistic development. Cole developed his style as a teenager adding in his own flair for the blues. His unique playing style and sultry baritone voice were fully formed when he worked his way from Chicago to Los Angeles. Signed to Capitol Records in 1943, Cole released his initial album as the lead vocalist of “The King Cole Trio” in 1945, at the dawn of the LP format, and topped Billboard’s inaugural album chart. In his brief 20-year career, he recorded more than 150 singles that reached Billboard’s pop, R&B, and country charts and sold more than 50 million records. His phenomenal success led to Capitol’s iconic round building on Vine Street in Hollywood to be known as “The House That Nat Built.” Cole’s impressive catalog has since garnered six platinum and two gold album awards, with six-times RIAA- platinum-certified “The Christmas Song” initially released in September 1964. In addition to his recognition as a musical trailblazer, Cole is also recognized as a champion for civil rights. The revolutionary American singer’s impact continues across the world’s cultural and political landscape. In 1946, he broadcasted a 15-minute national radio program, “King Cole Trio Time,” the first of its kind to be hosted by an African American musician. In 1956, he became the first African American to host his own national network television show, NBC’s “The Nat King Cole Show.” In addition to his warm and welcoming stage personality, Cole was a featured actor in films including China Gate and the Oscar-winning Cat Ballou.

The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on An Open Fire) (duet with John Legend) About Nat King Cole One of the most identifiable and memorable voices of the 20th century, Nat King Cole recorded nearly 40 albums and over 100 singles that reached Billboard’s pop, R&B, and country charts and sold more than 50 million copies. As the first African American to host a radio show and a national television show, NBC’s “The Nat King Cole Show,” he was a civil rights pioneer. Cole appeared in several films, including St. Louis Blues and Cat Ballou. He won the Grammy® Award for Best Performance for “Midnight Flyer” and was honored with a Special Achievement Award from the Golden Globes. He was posthumously awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award from NARAS and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 2019 marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of Nat King Cole, born March 17, 1919.

TONY® and EMMY® Award-winning actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth releases her first collection of holiday music in more than a decade. Avaible NOW, Happiness is…Christmas! puts Chenoweth’s unmistakable stamp on a dozen songs celebrating everyone’s favorite time of year. CONFIRMED MEDIA: The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon 11/22 Live with Kelly and Ryan 11/23 The Late Show with James Corden 11/30 The Talk 11/30 Kelly Clarkson Show 12/1 The Drew Barrymore Show 12/8 Watch What Happens Live 12/8 Many more major appearances to be announced soon… From Kristin: “The inspiration for this album was light. Light at the end of the tunnel. It’s been a difficult time for all. With the cover and some of the songs, light is a big theme. I wanted to make a Christmas album for everybody. I wanted songs on the album that people can enjoy, that make them smile. It’s a fun record, yet intimate -- just like Christmas with my family.” Chenoweth teamed up with award-winning producers Jay Landers (Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler) and Fred Mollin (Jimmy Webb, Johnny Mathis) for the album, which brilliantly showcases her remarkable versatility, virtuosity, and charisma. The duo enlisted a group of Nashville’s most in-demand musicians for the recording sessions, including guitarists Bryan Sutton and Kerry Marx, bassist Larry Paxton, drummer Tommy Harden, pianist and keyboard player Pat Coil, and harpist Kirsten Agresta Copely. The album kicks off with a buoyant medley of “Happiness (Is Christmas)”/“Christmas Time Is Here” (with new lyrics by Landers and Charlie Midnight), an affectionate nod to Chenoweth’s star-making, Tony-winning turn as Sally Brown in the 1999 Broadway production of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Other highlights include a jaunty jazz arrangement of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” a wistful reading of the Carpenters’ poignant “Merry Christmas, Darling,” and a soaring performance of Stephen Schwartz’s Chanukah song “We Are Lights,” while “Why Couldn’t It Be Christmas Every Day?” tips its hat to the classic harmonies of the Beach Boys. 5x GRAMMY-winning singer and musician Keb’ Mo’ joins Chenoweth for a bluesy, sultry duet on “Merry Christmas, Baby,” and Chenoweth’s playful wit takes center stage on “Santa, I’ve Got a Bone to Pick With You” and a swinging mashup of “(Everybody’s Waitin’ For) The Man with the Bag” and “Jingle Bell Rock.” The album closes on a hopeful note, with a stirring rendition of Peggy Lee’s “My Dear Acquaintance (A Happy New Year).” Chenoweth reflects, “One of my favorite Dolly Parton quotes is ‘You can’t have the rainbow without the rain.’” Smiling, she says, “I’m ready for all the colors.” FOR MORE INFORMATION Kristin Chenoweth | Instagram | TikTok | Facebook | Twitter Artist Title Time Kristin Chenoweth Happiness (Is Christmas) / Christmas Time Is Here (Medley) 04:26 Kristin Chenoweth Why Couldn't It Be Christmas Every Day? 04:19 Kristin Chenoweth Merry Christmas, Darling 04:04 Kristin Chenoweth (Everybody’s Waitin’ For) The Man With The Bag / Jingle Bell Rock (Medley) 02:38 Kristin Chenoweth The Stories That You Told 03:59 Kristin Chenoweth The Little Road To Bethlehem 03:08 Kristin Chenoweth, Keb' Mo' Merry Christmas Baby 05:15 Kristin Chenoweth Christmas Lullaby 03:30 Kristin Chenoweth We Are Lights 04:24 Kristin Chenoweth Santa, I've Got A Bone To Pick With You! 04:00 Kristin Chenoweth Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas 04:04 Kristin Chenoweth My Dear Acquaintance (A Happy New Year) 03:53 José James Christmas in New York Impacting October 22nd, 2021 Format(s): Jazz “Sounds like the result of the black-pop continuum, jazz and soul and hip-hop and R&B, slow-cooked for more than 50 years.” —The New York Times “Catch up with Jose James now because he's a rarity - an artist evolving at warp speed.” —NPR Music “James skirts categories with ease, fitting in with current R&B innovators like Frank Ocean or Miguel.. he holistically heals the rift between radio-friendly songcraft and virtuoso flair.” —NPR Music “Is José James a jazz singer or a soul singer? Old school or new school? A guardian of tradition or a seeker of thrills? Yes, yes and yes.” —LA Times Like his idols John Coltrane, Miles Davis and Marvin Gaye, José James is a master of reinvention. Over the past 13 years as a singer, producer and label owner, he's proven himself capable of covering wide swaths of musical terrain. He’s done it all while keeping his voice in the center, a smoky baritone the likes of Gil Scott-Heron and Terry Callier that cuts through the lush instrumentals beneath it. The approach has led to a vast discography with various entry points across labels Blue Note, Verve/Impulse, Brownswood and now his own Rainbow Blonde Records. Today he releases new single "Christmas in New York" - a future jazz Christmas classic written by James and his Grammy nominated partner Talia Billig. “Christmas in New York” feels equally cozy and mournful. “I made it for people like myself who aren’t able to see their families another year,” James says. Indeed, there’s a chill in Aaron Parks’ piano that conveys intense sadness and reflection on happier times. The song was crafted as a blend of James’ holiday experiences in Minneapolis and New York City, where he wrote the song. “That kind of picture-perfect scene of people throwing snowballs and making a snowman in Central Park, and Wollman Rink,” James says. “That whole beautiful Manhattan Christmas… it was my dream as a kid, and then I got to live it. There’s a lot of love in that.” Produced by José James and Brian Bender, the session was both recorded and mixed directly to 2" tape to capture the warmth and LCR (left-center-right) sound akin to classic albums such as "Kind of Blue," "Blues and the Abstract Truth" and "John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman." Mastering duties were handled by veteran engineer Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road Studios.

And because Winnipeg has clinched first in the West, a loss won't bother them. ***** This week is Edmonton's last chance to win a home game.

Ottawa is already out of it, and we can expect Edmonton not to make it either. BC has lost four straight, so unless they turn it around immediately, they will be the third team out. Here are the standings. https://www.cfl.ca/standings/2021/ ***** Now the week's second headline. Remember how excited the Argos and their fans were when they signed Nick Arbuckle shortly before training camp? Well Tuesday they sent him to Edmonton for a neg list name and a conditional draft pick. That means that Bethel-Thompson will be the man for the rest of the year. https://www.cfl.ca/2021/10/26/elks-acquire-arbuckle-argos-pre-deadline-deal/ https://www.cfl.ca/2021/10/26/oleary-arbuckle-intriguing-qb-move/ https://www.cfl.ca/2021/10/27/elks-add-good-starter-potential-in-trade-for-arbuckle/ https://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/cfl/arbuckle-trade-argonauts-elks-cfl-1.6225603 https://www.tsn.ca/toronto-argonauts-edmonton-elks-nick-arbuckle-1.1711841 https://3downnation.com/2021/10/26/toronto-argos-trade-quarterback-nick-arbuckle-to-edmonton-elks/ https://3downnation.com/2021/10/26/toronto-argos-acquire-negotiation-list-rights-to-chad-kelly-nephew-of-jim-kelly-in-nick-arbuckle-trade/ https://3downnation.com/2021/10/26/argos-ryan-dinwiddie-qb-mcleod-bethel-thompson-now-the-face-of-our-franchise/ ***** Playoff Scenarios https://www.cfl.ca/2021/10/26/playoff-scenarios-riders-als-argos-eye-playoff-spots/ https://3downnation.com/2021/10/29/how-the-east-division-will-be-won-down-the-stretch-in-2021/ https://13thmansports.ca/2021/10/27/assessing-the-cfl-playoff-race-with-4-weeks-left/ ***** The two Dec. 5 Finals have been moved up a half an hour. https://www.cfl.ca/2021/10/28/cfls-eastern-western-finals-kick-off-30-minutes-earlier-dec-5/ https://3downnation.com/2021/10/28/cfl-grants-winnipeg-blue-bombers-request-for-playoff-time-change/ ***** Grey Cup tickets went on sale Tuesday. https://www.cfl.ca/2021/10/25/108th-grey-cup-tickets-sale-tuesday/ https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/grey-cup-hamilton-cfl-1.6225117 ***** Naylor's Kickoff https://www.tsn.ca/naylor-s-kickoff-will-arbuckle-finally-find-a-home-with-elks-1.1713281 ***** Gossip! https://3downnation.com/2021/10/27/insider-talk-desjardins-overpaying-arbuckles-turnovers-mike-osheas-generational-talent/ ***** Every year, the final games are always questionable when one of the teams has established its place in the final standings. Will they try to win? Will they play their starters? Here is a look at teams of the past who clinched first place early. https://3downnation.com/2021/10/27/heres-how-cfl-teams-have-fared-historically-after-clinching-first-place-early/ ***** You will recall that the Argos-Elks Aug. 26 game was rescheduled because the Elks had too many players under the covid protocol. As a result, the Elks will play three games in eight days. So the league will let them dress five extra players for the last two games of the season. https://3downnation.com/2021/10/27/cfl-permits-elks-to-dress-extra-players-for-two-final-games-due-to-tight-schedule/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-allows-elks-to-dress-extra-players-for-last-two-games-of-the-season/

Immediately upon being eliminated from the playoffs, Ottawa let go Marcel Desjardins, the only GM the club has ever had. Redblack fans have been calling for his head all season, and on Monday they got their wish. The claim is that he failed to make enough changes to last season's woeful team. However, I wonder the extent to which his hands were tied. We know that each team lost millions of dollars when they didn't play in 2020, and that may have had something to do with the Redblacks' inactivity. https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/ottawa-redblacks-manager-marcel-desjardins-relieved-of-duties/ https://13thmansports.ca/2021/10/25/ottawa-redblacks-fire-marcel-desjardins/ https://3downnation.com/2021/10/25/desjardins-told-redblacks-they-were-making-a-mistake-upon-firing/ https://www.cfl.ca/2021/10/25/redblacks-relieve-marcel-desjardins-duties/ https://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/cfl/marcel-desjardins-firing-redblacks-cfl-1.6223743 ***** Duane Forde wants the Ottawa job. https://3downnation.com/2021/10/27/tsn-analyst-duane-forde-on-redblacks-gm-vacancy-i-would-be-lying-if-i-said-that-it-wasnt-of-interest/ ***** More soon.
