What should Rhymes have done? The announcer says that he should have knelt down and halted the play. I think that that is too cute with only two seconds left. You are hoping that the ref will make the right call. When Rhymes was at the fifteen yard line, the clock had expired. He should have kicked the ball through the back of the goal area, and scored a single point. That would have won the game. ***** Power Rankings https://3downnation.com/2023/10/10/3downnation-power-rankings-bombers-move-up-week-18/ https://www.cfl.ca/2023/10/10/power-rankings-all-roads-still-go-through-toronto/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-2023-week-19-power-rankings-bombers-seize-the-moment-bc-heartbreak-montreal-hamilton-continue-late-season-surge-argos-celebrate-150-in-style/ ***** Playoff Scenarios https://www.cfl.ca/2023/10/10/playoff-scenarios-montreal-eyes-hosting-riders-look-to-secure-spot/

If you missed this outstanding releases the first time around, here’s your chance to check it out NOW! Whether one loves Brazilian music, big bands or modern jazz, Encontros – Orquestra Atlantica makes for a memorable and stimulating listening experience Throughout the past 40 years, Antonio Adolfo has had a very busy career as a pianist, composer, and arranger. Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, his teachers included Eumir Deodato and Nadia Boulanger (in Paris). A jazz pianist since the mid-1960s in Brazil, Adolfo worked with such major singers as Leny Andrade, Flora Purim, Elis Regina, and Milton Nascimento and has recorded more than 25 albums as a leader. A major name for decades, his music combines together Brazilian rhythmic styles with jazz. His previous recording, Antonio Adolfo “HYBRIDO - From Rio to Wayne Shorter,” was a 2018 Grammy finalist. As a bandleader, Antonio Adolfo has mostly been featured with small groups that showcase his music and his solo abilities. However, he has long considered it a major goal to someday record an album with a larger ensemble, a big band that had a full understanding of both Brazilian music and jazz. Encontros - Orquestra Atlantica is the realization of that dream. After having seen a performance in Rio de Janeiro by Orquestra Atlantica, a Brazilian jazz orchestra founded in 2012, Antonio Adolfo was so impressed that he invited the group to be a major part of his new recording. With up to seven horns and several guests, Adolfo had many new tone colors at his disposal along with the powerful sound of a big band. The result is an exciting set comprised of nine of Adolfo’s compositions plus Miles Davis’ “Milestones.” The inventive arrangements of Jesse Sadoc and Marcelo Martins mix together the sound of big band jazz with such Brazilian styles as the Samba, Bossa Nova, Baiao, Frevo, and the Afoxe to create memorable and infectious music. It is very rare for Brazilian jazz to be performed by a big band, particularly one of this quality. Hearing Antonio Adolfo’s music played by a top-notch orchestra casts new light on his writing abilities. www.aammusic.com www.antonioadolfomusic.com

A regular customer sits down at the diner and orders his breakfast. “I’d like two eggs, over easy until the yoke is hard and the white is crispy; white bread toasted until it’s burnt on both sides, runny oatmeal and coffee served weak, with too much cream.” “Wow. That’s a really strange order, sir.” “Really? That’s how I’ve been getting it for two years, without ever asking for it.”

A multi Latin Grammy and Grammy nominee, Adolfo is an internationally recognized Latin jazz star. A prolific recording artist, Adolfo is now releasing BruMa: Celebrating Milton Nascimento. After over 50 years of friendship and admiration, Antonio Adolfo has decided it was finally time to dedicate an album to Milton Nascimento. “His compositions broke traditional harmonic and rhythmic patterns, with his modalism and some natural rhythmic meters, all in a spontaneous, intuitive and natural way,” says Adolfo. Although Adolfo admires Nascimento’s beautiful melodies and interesting harmonies, he is an artist with his own vision and approach. He brings something new and different to each of these compositions. With his lush, soulful arrangements, Antonio Adolfo has taken Milton Nascimento’s music and made it truly his own. BruMa: Celebrating Milton Nascimento is more than an homage to the famous composer. It is a beautiful, artistic statement from a prolific and formidable composer/arranger and a renowned keyboardist in his own right. with ANTONIO ADOLFO piano JESSE SADOC trumpet and flugelhorn MARCELO MARTINS alto flute, tenor sax DANILO SINNA alto sax RAFAEL ROCHA trombone CLAUDIO SPIEWAK electric guitar (1,2,4,6), acoustic guitar (3,4,5,9), percussion (4) LULA GALVAO guitar (7,8) LEO AMUEDO guitar (9) JORGE HELDER double bass RAFAEL BARATA drums and percussion DADA COSTA percussion (1,2,6,7,8) ANDRE VASCONCELLOS double bass (2) Produced and Arranged by ANTONIO ADOLFO All songs by MILTON NASCIMENTO & partners BruMa: Celebrating Milton Nascimento 1.

  15. A man walks into a pub and asks for a double scotch. The Landlord asks, "Are you all right?" as the man looks a little shaken. The man explained that his car had konked out a mile or so down the road. He had been scratching his head looking at the engine when a horse popped his head over the hedgerow, and told him how to fix the problem. "Arr, was it a black horse?" asked the Landlord. "Yes", said the man. "You wuz lucky then," said the Landlord. "There's a grey horse in that field, and he knows fuck all about engines." ***** Joe, I was familiar with the Beaverbrook name as a press baron, but looked him up in Wikipedia to see what the fuss was about. I had never associated him with New Brunswick.
