ghost of miles

I see that two former Yankees helped power the Rangers past the Rays this afternoon. 🫡 (Yankee fans, I assure you, continue to lament Brian Cashman’s shocker 2022 trade of Jordan Montgomery that led to his eventual arrival in Texas.) I’m pulling for the guys from Arlington in this one.

I haven’t sorted through the discographical details yet—I gather a fair amount of it has been bootlegged before? The whole story of the half-studio, half-live nature of the official Verve releases and what exists beyond them will hopefully be clarified by this Resonance set. I really enjoy the Full House recordings, but between the Wes Riverside box and the Keepnews Collection reissue, I think I’m good on that end.

I'm in! Some late-1960s Ahmad Jamal on the way as well.

Got a promotional email about the forthcoming Resonance release this afternoon. Robert Montgomery had alluded to this set in March around the time of Wes' centennial, so great to see that it's happening.

Calliope 3013, Max Roach/Mary Ann McCall/Bud Shank:

/Boxy Mabry! Was in a Getz mood and pulled this one off the shelf, one of several sets from this Getz era (Complete Roost, West Coast Sessions) that I really enjoy:

One of my fave live Cannonball albums:

Having a Jackie Mac attack:

Agreed, and I've been playing some Fats this week on my daily afternoon show. There's a Night Lights program in the works as well, coming in November.

I've been on a big Jefferson Airplane kick of late, which led to checking it out in full. Planning to listen to it again tonight!

Damn, that’s quite a listening lineup! The Ahmad is the first CD by him that I ever bought, and it hooked me. Right now, Joshua Redman’s debut on Blue Note, with vocals by Gabrielle Cavassa.

2.5 games ahead of the Astros, with seven games to go (and only six for Houston)… they’ve put themselves in a good position for the final week in terms of winning the AL West. Me, I’m rooting for Seattle to slide past Houston into the third AL WC slot.

Up for Coltrane’s birthday today: Trane 63

I have the Verve Elite reissue, but I haven't listened to it in many years. Thanks for bringing it up--I'll dust it off and give it a spin.

The Great Sonic Wonder! Right now, a compilation of Ride’s first four EPs:
