The best plays of 2021
https://www.cfl.ca/category/highlights/I want to point out the Kicking plays. The league has ranked #10 and #9 what I think were the two most memorable plays of the year. In fact, I don't think we will ever see a better coffin corner kick for the rest of our lives as what we see at #10.

I did not intend to be critical with my post. I know and like much of what you included in your playlist. I just think that the evolution of associating jazz with noir is an interesting one, because only a very few of the late films noir had jazz scores (and some purists do not even consider some of these later titles as film noir). I read a fascinating piece in which a film professor showed classic films noir to his class. The films all had orchestral scores by the likes of Miklos Rozsa, Adolph Deutsch, etc. After the films were shown, he asked the class about the music. Many of the students used words like "jazz" and "saxophone" to describe the music, even though there was no jazz or sax.
Here is a new Criterion Channel article about Miklos Rozsa and his film noir music.

Eric Gregg was easily one of the worst umpires, particularly during the Braves-Marlins playoff game. Practically every outside pitch was called a strike, no matter how far off the plate it was. A no win situation for Braves batters. Fortunately he was not rehired after an umpire strike.
Ken, I remember how Glavin in particular with perfect control would always get the called strike with a pitch six inches off the plate.

Perhaps everyone's experience was different, but I wasn't seeing better music in the record stores at that time.

94 rated! They don't come much better than that!
I'm finding that cigars are consistently better constructed than they were twenty years ago, but not as delicious as my favorites were. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Those big "classical" boxes are more attractive to the labels because most of the compositions are PD, hence are much cheaper to produce.
Didn't Michael Cuscuna find that sales decline when the retail price is more than $120.00?
I can imagine that the smaller profit per cd combined with a price tag ceiling resulted in the 13-18 disc boxes we saw last year from Nucleus, Barbara Thompson and Henry Cow.

Bill Heid
Dealin' Wid It
Impacting
June 9th, 2022
Format(s): Jazz
New from Bill Heid on Savant Records
Bill Heid - Dealin’ Wid It
Savant Records SCD 2204
Bill Heid, Hammond organ, vocals (tracks 3 & 6 only)
Perry Hughes, guitar
Randy Gelispie, drums
Kevin “Bujo” Jones, percussion (except tracks 3, 6 & 9)
AIRPLAY STARTS NOW
SUGGESTED TRACKS
1. Dealin’ Wid It (5:35) • 5. Minor Worm (6:46)
7. Samba Cat (6:16) • 10. Hurt So Bad (5:42)
Called by Mozart “The King of the Instruments,” the organ went from sacred to salacious when it left the church and began turning up in jazz clubs in the 1950s. It was at that time that the model B-3 organ was assimilated into the jazz line-up and became a sought-after solo instrument. Its hipper-than-hip tone color and thumping bass pedals defined an instrumental sound that mesmerizes the instrument's aficionados to this very day. Pittsburgh-born Bill Heid knows the B-3's history well and his playing ranges from the boppish to the bodacious. From 1965 into the late 70's, he worked the "chitlin' clubs" in Baltimore, Newark, Detroit and Chicago, often with greats like Sonny Stitt, David "Fathead" Newman, Mickey Roker, Roger Humphries, Henry Johnson, Jimmy Ponder and Peter Bernstein. Heid himself penned all but one of the tunes, with all of them channeling the musical spirits of such Hammond luminaries as Don Patterson, “Big” John Patton, “Baby Face” Willette, Larry Young, Jimmy Smith and Jack McDuff. The album closes with a too-cool-for-school reading of “Hurt So Bad,” which looks back with a knowing glance to the Richard “Groove” Holmes version. Throughout the 10 tracks, the band plays with a soulful feeling, a great sense of ensemble and no small amount of infectious joy – drummer Randy Gelispie hits exactly the right mix of blues and swing, with his relaxed, in-the-pocket feel, and Perry Hughes on guitar ties things together with his own thoughtful style in his imaginative and satisfying solo breaks.

Alan Broadbent Trio
Like Minds
Impacting
June 9th, 2022
Format(s): Jazz
New from The Alan Broadbent Trio on Savant Records
The Alan Broadbent Trio - Like Minds
Savant Records SCD 2198
Alan Broadbent - piano
Harvie S - bass
Billy Mintz - drums
AIRPLAY STARTS NOW
SUGGESTED TRACKS
1. This I Dig of You (6:26) 5. Airegin (5:28)
8. This Is New (6:43) 9. Yardbird Suite (6:24)
Alan Broadbent is one of New Zealand's favorite musical sons and perhaps the most well-known and multi-talented of them all. Many are familiar with his arranging and conducting for Sir Paul McCartney, Diana Krall, Pat Metheny and Michael Bublé. Others may know Broadbent has received 8 Grammy nominations and won 2 Grammy Awards for Best Orchestral Arrangement Accompanying a Vocal, one for Natalie Cole and one for Shirley Horn. On Like Minds, Broadbent takes a seat on the piano bench for his third Savant recording with his trio featuring the great bassist Harvie S and the colorful drumming of Billy Mintz. Together these men play with notable clarity and poise, and their performances – even those of familiar standards – are wonderfully tuneful, sometimes whimsical and often moving, with the overall effect always coming across as coolly engaging and totally spontaneous. “I'm averse to playing what I jokingly call 'big band trio arrangements,' where everybody plays the rhythmic hits,” Broadbent explains. “I'll get a big band if I want to do that. For me, for the trio, I want it to change every time.” Spontaneous and off-the-cuff these 9 tracks may be but the closer you listen, the more inventive and exquisitely crafted they sound, with the recording showing that, without a doubt, these three superb musicians are of like minds indeed.
