John, your number must be a multiple of five. BClug already has Winnipeg and 40, so we'll put you down as Winnipeg and 35 unless you want something else.

The contest is now up! http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?/topic/87190-contest-2021-grey-cup/

Greg, yes! The season was shortened and delayed due to the covid situation. This year's Dec. 12 date will be the latest the Grey Cup Final has ever been played.

CRAFT RECORDINGS CELEBRATES 70 YEARS OF CONTEMPORARY RECORDS On Contemporary: Art Pepper In the aftermath of Charlie Parker, no alto saxophonist blazed a more brilliant alternative path than Pepper (September 1, 1925 – June 15, 1982), who forged a lyrical detour bypassing bebop despite his love of Bird. The L.A. native poured his tormented soul into his horn, recording a series of classic albums between stints in prison due to his addiction to heroin. His Contemporary sessions rank among his very best work, and this anthology includes choice pieces from his 1957 encounter with Miles Davis’ sidemen on Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section, the scorching 1960 album Smack Up through his triumphant 1977 run at the Village Vanguard with George Cables, Elvin Jones and George Mraz, represented here with a sublime version of “Over the Rainbow.” 2021 marks 70 years of Contemporary Records, the Los Angeles-based audiophile jazz label that both defined and radically expanded the sound of West Coast jazz. Throughout the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s, Lester Koenig’s artist-friendly company released career-defining performances by some of modern jazz’s most influential and accomplished improvisers, including Ornette Coleman, Sonny Rollins, Hampton Hawes, Art Pepper, Harold Land, Shelly Manne and Teddy Edwards. In celebrating the history of this essential label and its exceptional catalog, Craft Recordings is releasing a variety of content throughout the coming year, including deluxe box sets, vinyl reissues, SACDs and digital compilations, as well as exclusive merchandise, video content and curated playlists. Full details of these new releases to follow. Kicking off the campaign last Friday, December 3, are five digital On Contemporary compilations focusing on individual jazz giants: Art Pepper, Hampton Hawes, Barney Kessel, André Previn and Shelly Manne. A sixth release, The Saxophonists, offers a tantalizing glimpse at the depth of the Contemporary catalog with an array of era-defining horn players. Included are three of the most consequential players to ever pick up the sax, with Benny Carter, the man who tamed the horn in the 1920s and kept it in the vanguard into the 21st century; the supremely expressive Art Pepper; and the revolutionary Ornette Coleman. Also featured are heavyweights Sonny Rollins, Ben Webster, Benny Golson, Harold Land, Bob Cooper and Teddy Edwards. Taken together, the compilations make an indisputable case for Contemporary’s central role in documenting the evolution of modern jazz in the decades after World War II, while foregrounding Los Angeles as a proving ground for transformational talent. About Contemporary Records Founded in 1951 by Lester Koenig (December 3, 1917 – November 21, 1977), Contemporary Records is a uniquely Hollywood story. An intellectual who loved the arts, Koenig (pronounced kay-nig) thrived in the film industry as a screenwriter, co-producer and assistant to William Wyler, playing an important role on landmark films such as The Best Years of Our Lives, Detective Story and Roman Holiday. Koenig’s life in movies was effectively ended by the Red Scare in 1953, when he was called to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee. He was flayed by the conservative Hollywood establishment for having left-wing sympathies, and blacklisted he turned his attention to Good Time Jazz, a label he’d launched in 1949, to record a Dixieland combo featuring players who all had day jobs with Disney. He initially created Contemporary as an outlet for new contemporary classical works, but his ears were wide open and by the mid-1950s many of Southern California’s most exciting jazz artists were eager to document their music in what was rapidly becoming one of the best studios on the West Coast under the auspices of Roy DuNann, the sound engineer Koenig lured away from Capitol Records in 1956. The artists responded to Koenig’s steadfast faith in their creativity, and Contemporary became the essential vehicle for L.A. modernists and East Coast players looking for respite from the New York hustle. Seven decades later, the label’s legacy looks more imposing than ever, as the albums that Lester Koenig and his son John recorded continue to inspire and influence leading players on the contemporary scene.

CRAFT RECORDINGS CELEBRATES 70 YEARS OF CONTEMPORARY RECORDS On Contemporary: André Previn If the Berlin-born Previn (April 6, 1929 – February 28, 2019) tends to be forgotten these days as an ebulliently swinging jazz pianist with a bright, bell-like touch, it’s because he was so brilliant in such a range of musical endeavors. Writing for MGM while still a teenager, he went on to win four Academy Awards® for his film scores and 10 GRAMMY® Awards. He spent the second half of his life as the principal conductor for some of the world’s greatest orchestras. As a jazz pianist, he recorded prolifically for Contemporary between 1957 and 1960, and this playlist focuses on his hugely popular trio with bassist Red Mitchell and drummer Shelly Manne (or Frankie Capp), a group best known for a series of albums devoted to musicals like Pal Joey, Gigi and West Side Story. 2021 marks 70 years of Contemporary Records, the Los Angeles-based audiophile jazz label that both defined and radically expanded the sound of West Coast jazz.

I was a fan of Jim Kaat. I believe that he should have been elected because he won the Golden Glove sixteen years in a row!

It's that time of year again! It's time for the annual Grey Cup contest. Past winners have included Noj (twice), indestructible, Bright Moments, brownie, paul secor, Soulstation1, danasgoodstuff, B. Clugston (twice), ejp626 (twice), BFrank and kh1958. ***** The rules: 1) Pick the winning team. 2) Pick the number of total points scored by both teams (aka the tiebreaker). Since approximately half of us will pick the winning team, picking the total points is necessary to win the contest. Your total points prediction must be a number which is a multiple of five (5). The winning tiebreaker will be the one closest to the correct answer. If two are equally close, the winner will be the lower pick. If two people pick the same thing, the first to make the pick will be the winner. ***** The prize: If you live in the US, you will have your choice of a) a $17.00 Mosaic Records Gift Card (which represents one CD of a Mosaic box set) or b) a bundle of jazz books. If you live in Canada, your prize will be a Canadian football book. If you live anywhere else, I will paypal you the $17.00, and it will be up to you to decide what you will spend it on and in what currency. ***** The contest deadline: Sunday Dec. 12, 6:00 pm eastern ***** The Grey Cup Final: The Grey Cup is awarded to the world champion of what I think is the greatest game in the world, Canadian rules football. That is to say, the champion of the Canadian Football League. The Grey Cup was first awarded in 1909. They have played for it every year since then, except three years because of World War One and last year because of the covid virus. Therefore, this year's game will be the 108th Grey Cup Final. Fans from throughout Canada will attend the game. This year's game will see the Western champion Winnipeg Blue Bombers face the Eastern champion Hamilton Tiger-Cats. This will be a rematch of the last Grey Cup Final (2019). These were the two teams picked by most pre-season pundits to play for the Grey Cup. Winnipeg was the only team in the league which was consistently good. They lost their last two games (of 14) playing their subs, having clinched first place in the West. Through the first 12 games, they were 11-1. In that span, they outscored their opponents 116-6 in the fourth quarter! Pre-season pundits wondered if Hamilton might go undefeated, but they had a disappointing season until the end. Including two playoff games, they have won six of their last seven. (By the way, the Hamilton Tigers were founded in 1869, the same year as the Cincinnati Red Stockings.) The location of the game is chosen years in advance. This year's game will be played in Hamilton, so the Ticats will have the home field advantage. Eastern Canada fans always root for the Eastern champion, and Western Canada fans always root for the Western champion. I expect that many in the stands will be cheering for the Bombers, but undoubtedly the majority of the crowd will be loudly cheering for the Ticats. The Tiger-Cats last won the Grey Cup in 1999, and they are now in the league's current longest drought. ***** The game will be carried live in the US on ESPN2, starting at 6:00 pm eastern Sunday. ESPNews will carry the pre-game show at 5:30. You can listen to the game here: http://www.tsn.ca/radio (To listen to the game, you will need Windows Media Player which you can download for free. So you might want to plan ahead if you don't already have it.) ***** You can study articles analyzing the upcoming game as well as articles about the season as it unfolded in the CFL thread which I will update throughout the week. Good luck everyone! ***** Here's my pick: I'm going to do you a favor. Because Winnipeg was the best team the entire year, I'm going to go with the Ticats. Hamilton - 50

TTK, I've got Dec. 1, but it is asking me for a time.

Western has won the Vanier Cup, 27-21. It was a good game. I enjoyed watching a football game without those computer-generated yard lines! https://www.cbc.ca/sports/u-sports-vanier-cup-western-saskatchewan-recap-1.6273945 https://3downnation.com/2021/12/04/ice-in-his-veins-freshman-qb-evan-hillock-lifts-western-mustangs-to-victory-in-frigid-56th-vanier-cup/

Dan, I read some years back (no skin off my nose if you don't believe this) that from the beginning Judge Landis always sided with the owners. His reputation as a stern taskmaster came solely from how he dealt with players, never the owners. By the way, I suspect that most fans don't know that Landis was the trial court judge of the Baltimore Terrapins case. He was the first to rule that pro baseball games did not constitute interstate commerce. The Supreme Court upheld his decision. That was why the owners hired him in the first place. Prior to Landis, the two major leagues were ruled by the National Commission (1903-1920), which was a trio made up of the two league presidents and various team owners. Landis was considered independent among the owners because he had no interest in one league or one team. In that sense, I suppose Manfred is independent too. https://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/National_Commission

The Argos had McLeod Bethel-Thompson attend a Toronto Raptors basketball game Thursday, for the purpose of doing a brief television interview promoting the Eastern Final. This violated the league's covid protocol, and the league's rules would have required MBT to self-isolate for four days, which would require him to miss the game. So the league compromised, and reduced the isolation period to two days.
