  1. THAT Kenny Rodgers--you're probably right, Jim. Was there some discussion of him here at some point? I'm familiar with him only through the Lee date and maybe one other that isn't coming to mind right now. I think I'm also remembering him from either Loud Minority or Well Water: Kenny Rodgers music credits
  2. Have some respect for the fake dead, Jim!
  3. There were reports last year that the original version would be released as well, but not sure that's still the case.
  4. Yep, wondering about the veracity of this as well--can't even find a whisper of a rumor on Twitter or elsewhere on social media.
  5. ... and also contemplating revisiting Camus’ The Plague, which I haven’t read since high school.
  6. Can't imagine that baseball will start on time, no.
  7. The NBA just announced it's suspending its season.
  8. Got the same email and will definitely be picking up both the book and the CD.
  9. Indiana University just announced suspension of all on-campus classes for two weeks following next week's spring break. How's this crisis playing out in your community?
  10. Disc 4, which documents the beginning of Coltrane and Tyner’s studio work together:
  11. We re-aired Jazzing The Cool this past week, and it remains archived for online listening.
  12. I third Chuck and Hans' recommendation--the absolute best way to pick up that material.
  13. Revisiting an old favorite—an excellent Hoagy Carmichael collection put together by Richard Sudhalter:
  14. Up in memory. Hoping to do a program about the Milestone recordings sometime soon. Tyner Time: McCoy Tyner’s Blue Note Recordings
  15. Nate Chinen’s Tyner obit for NPR.
  16. Damn. Not terribly surprising, but terribly saddening. I'd been thinking about doing a show devoted to his Milestone recordings later this year. Gonna take some time to absorb this particular departure.
  17. I know Kevin Spacey is persona non grata these days, but I greatly enjoyed the impressions interview that James did with him:
  18. When Boyd came marching home!
  19. Disc 7, for some much-needed Prez this evening:
  20. Ethan Iverson writes at length about a topic definitely in need of more scholarly attention. (Much appreciation to Mark Stryker for his Facebook link, which is how I became aware of the article.) Black Music Teachers In The Era Of Segregation
  21. Great playlist and some deep dives to be sure. Happy to see Nellie Lutcher and Tampa Red (among others) putting in appearances.
