  1. Great topic, Pim. I've had this on the Night Lights drawing board for a number of years now, but have never gotten around to doing a show. Looking at possibly putting together one this year for November, which is Native American Heritage Month.
  2. Up again in honor of Ellington’s birthday today: Ellington Ending: Duke Ellington 1967-73
  3. Manchester representing!
  4. Garrett Whitlock, and you'll be happy to know that Yankee fans continue to suffer heartburn over the organization's failure to protect him. As for the AL East, I feel as if the pre-season conversations I had with several friends and fellow MLB fans are holding true--that the division will be a bloodbath, with the Rays, Red Sox, Blue Jays and Yankees all capable of finishing with anywhere from 80 to 95 wins. (And yes, I know the consensus is that Boston's playing over their heads, but I always felt that Cora's return, among other things, would enable them to outperform expectations. And JD has certainly regained his pre-2020 form.)
  5. This past week’s Night Lights show explores pianist Bill Evans’ brief but significant stay with Miles Davis’ group in 1958-59, including some non-Kind Of Blue live and studio recordings: Kind Of Two: Miles Davis And Bill Evans
  6. Madison Bumgarner’s 7-inning no-hitter If 7-inning doubleheader games are here to stay (having been retained by MLB after being introduced during last year’s pandemic-shortened season), then the 1991 statistical rule/definition, made when there were no such games, needs to be updated. Pitchers who throw all 7 innings and/or don’t give up a run are being officially credited with complete games and shutouts; why suddenly change that when it comes to defining a no-hitter? To me, the logic comes from the game reaching its intended length (as opposed to a weather-shortened game that was supposed to go 9 innings, or 7 in the case of a doubleheader).
  7. Not sure if this counts as a box-set, since it's a double CD--but it sure is a damn fine collection of music, however you want to categorize it:
  8. Nine days since I got the email informing me that my order had been forwarded to the warehouse for shipping—still no shipping notification as of today.
  9. Yes, continuing to enjoy the fruits of a recent Steeplechase purchase from Tommy’s Jazz. Great playing from Charles Tyler on that one! Right now, enjoying an excellent later-period Abbey Lincoln. Makes me wonder if Mosaic’s ever contemplated a collection of her Verve/Gitanes albums, most of which I’d assume are OOP by now. (They’re not all that hard to track down, though, which might be another factor that would make such a set less likely.)
  10. Nice playing by Bob Berg on "Blue Trane" to be heard here:
  11. Sure enjoying this one (still trawling through my recent Steeplechase purchase from Tommy’s Jazz):
  12. That’s a great set. Right now:
  13. We re-aired Jazz Of All Trades: The Eclectic Andre Previn last week, and it remains archived for online listening.
  14. Thanks for the heads-up--unfamiliar with these two Burrell titles and would be curious to hear them.
  15. Hey Dan, I located the scan that IU has, but it's worse than what you currently have--sent you a PDF of the page anyway. Happy to help any time with searches that require academic portals.
