    I think it already happened.

    This past weekend at our family’s holiday gathering, my 12-year-old niece—a very smart and creative kid who’s also the latest piano player in the family line—joyfully showed me her flip phone.. and also raved about how great CDs are. 😯 I think she’s most likely an outlier, especially on CDs, but a quick Google search did yield this Mashable article about Gen Z and flip phones: Gen Z flip phones trend

    Some info about the upcoming 11-CD Black & White set here (great to read that Dan Morgenstern is doing the notes), and some good quotes from Scott and Michael: Mosaic On The Move: A Great Jazz Label Gets Smaller, Smarter (Wasn’t sure whether to post this here or in the “Jazz In Print” subforum. Mods, feel free to move it there if you think that’s a more appropriate place.)

    Some lovely ballad-playing to be heard here:

    They apparently read your post and decided to serve up a hot-stove feast! $500 million for a keystone combination of Semien and Seager. I’m also beginning to wonder if Correa resigns with Houston after all.

    The End!

    One more go-around this past week for Norman Granz’s Jazz Scene.

    Just scored a copy for $20 at my local record store. God bless Landlocked Music CDs and Vinyl!

    Fellow fan of Jazz United here, though I’m way behind on listening to episodes. Years ago I used to listen to this podcast—which is apparently dormant now?—and enjoyed it: Jazz Insights With Dr. Gordon Vernick I’d be interested to hear others’ recommendations as well—thanks for reviving the topic.

    😯 I just reread TSAR last summer (in the new LOA edition) and think I remember seeing a reference around that time to this particular book. Getting ready to start this newly-arrived NYRB Classic:

    Yes! I’ve been listening to this one a lot the past two weeks. Right now, the first Smiths album I ever bought (autumn 1984) and still one of my favorites:

    One more go-around this past week for The Great Columbia Jazz Purge: Coleman, Evans, Jarrett And Mingus. A sequel is in the works!

    WBGO obituary: Slide Hampton, trombonist who also made a lasting impression as a master arranger, is dead at 89

    Seems as if the conventional wisdom is that Some Girls was the Stones' last "great" album... does Tattoo You qualify for the honor instead? (and gotta confess I'm not sure I've heard any of the subsequent Stones albums all the way through) It at least deserves extra credit for the presence of Sonny Rollins. EDIT: looking around online a bit leads me to think that perhaps the CW already *is* that the title below is the "last great album." (And yes, ironic that it's essentially a pulled-together album of 1970s outtakes that Jagger finished off)

    Underrated record... thanks for highlighting it!

    Up in memory: Slide Hampton: Slide At 75

    Just commented on this in the Hasaan Ibn Ali new-releases thread and second Lon's "Wow." Wow!

    Only a third of the way into disc 1, and uh--feeling a little slack-jawed with wonder so far. On first listen it's hitting me the way hearing Bud for the first time did back in the early 1990s. And there's certainly Bud influence here, some Monk and Tatum and even Cecil at times, perhaps? all turning into the highly distinct kaleidoscope of Hasaan Ibn Ali. The most invigorated (and invigorating) take on standards I've heard in quite awhile.

    It's one of the better-done making-of-a-movie books that I've read (a genre that I've dipped into increasingly over the years).

    Tristano release date now December 20th, per the Mosaic email that I'm sure many of you received as well. (The email says a discography for the set is now posted, but I'm still getting a "coming soon" message when I click on the link for it.)

    And didn't Richard Groove Holmes score a hit with it in the mid-1960s?

    Picked up my copy of the new Omnivore release at Landlocked and will be listening later today!

    Looks great--thanks for the heads-up, just added to my book/CD budget for next July when it comes out. (Gives me some time as well to finally finish George Lewis' book!)
