Happy Birthday Parkertown!

Last night at 10:00 pm was the deadline for teams to make their final cuts. Here's the list. http://cfl.ca/article/moving-day-teams-continue-trimming-rosters Jim Popp says that Jamel Richardson was offered a guaranteed salary with time to recover from his injury, but he turned it down. I believe that Ottawa let go all of their experienced kickers.

£ € Thanks Uncle Skid! Alan, I couldn't get anything with -k.

Is there a simple way for me to type a pound sign and a euro sign with an American keyboard? Thanks!

RIP. My favorite Goffin-King song when I was in high school was Manfred Mann's recording of "Oh no, not my baby." But looking at the list of their hits, I had no idea that they also wrote... Go away little girl Point of no return I'm into somethin' good Don't bring me down http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_written_by_Goffin_and_King

OJ Brigance is now Baltimore's Senior Player Development Advisor. Yesterday he received this year's Halas Award for overcoming adversity. Yet another CFL alum with ALS. Something is going on, and I hope the doctors find out soon what it is. http://www.pressboxonline.com/2014/06/16/oj-brigance-wins-football-writers-halas-award http://www.cbssports.com/general/writer/gregg-doyel/24102946/oj-brigance-cant-speak-but-his-words-always-hit-their-target

I'm surprised to see that it's still free today.

I read in Jazz Anecdotes a few weeks ago...Argonne Thornton changed his name to Sadik Hakim and told everyone. Charlie Parker was the only person to never thereafter call him by his birth name.

I'm finding lots of little things on twitter that don't really merit in-depth analyses to be linked to. You are welcome to follow me at @RealRussellMoon

Check out this video of Mike Reilly!

My bet is that the Andrew Hill will go first, and the Sam Rivers second. Maybe the Larry Young third, and the Art Blakey fourth. Maybe the Freddie Redd fifth.

Happy Birthday!

I think that some of it has to do with marketing. In the late '90s, we saw neo-swing. Back in the day, those bands would have been called jazz, but their CDs were placed in the stores' pop sections, not jazz. Similarly, Bruno Mars played the haltime of this year's Super Bowl, and I was very impressed with his band. Certainly it was like a jazz band. Do Bruno Mars fans think of that music as jazz? I doubt it. How about Charlie Hunter and MM&W? I suspect that their fans are thinking "jam band," not jazz. So I'm thinking that much of the issue is about the labelling rather than the music itself.

New York, June 4, 2014 - With pioneering explorations in time and space, Helio Parallax presents a sound deeply rooted in spiritual expression. It is true analog electronic music (no laptops) with cinematic landscapes (think Blade Runner meets Miles Davis' Elevator To The Gallows sound track) anchored by deep, dub/hip-hop beats - an atmospheric landscape coined "Sci-Fi Dub Noir." Josh Werner (Wu Tang, Lee Scratch Perry, CocoRosie, Higgins Waterproof Black Magic Band) leads the charge with production and compositions born from futuristic collisionist thought. As Bass Player magazine (March 2014) said, "Josh Werner has re-emerged with a project that spotlights his masterful dub playing." Multi-instrumentalist and producer Takuya Nakamura (Quincy Jones, George Russell, Arto Lindsey, CocoRosie) blends a new brand of Jazz, lo-fi analog and Hi-fi Digital space techno to his efforts. His ethereal trumpet playing establishing a cinematic dreamscape of sound. Dub specialist/beat maker Marihito Ayabe (Dub Nomads, Chimp Beams, and Shing02) married hip hop and reggae programming with Atmoshperic Sound Design. Special guests include Bianca Casady (CocoRosie) LOUQUE and Jah Dan (Major Lazer). TRACKS 1. Helio Parallax 2. Strange Dream (feat. Louque) 3. Another Broken Human 4. Kilgore Trout Dub 5.
