Reverend Charlie Jackson: God's Got It I have some of the 45s, but it's great to have those and some that I don't have in one collection.

Donald Byrd: Byrd in Hand

Happy Birthday, Joe!

Just tuned in the Yankee game, and the last time a team made 5 errors in one inning was the Cubs in 1977. Also they mentioned that Tommy John made 3 errors on one play when he pitched for the Yankees. That's a season's worth of errors for a pitcher.

I'm probably in a minority, but this one is my favorite Woody Shaw.

Charlie Haden/Paul Bley/Paul Motian: The Montreal Tapes

The Roosevelt Sykes United sides (with Porter on guitar) are good stuff - also don't miss Remo Biondi's bluesy violin. All are included on Delmark 642 - Raining in My Heart. I think that saxophone and guitar are an unusual double. Perhaps I'm just not thinking, but offhand I can't remember another case like that. I know Little Walter recorded on both harp and guitar, but that's at least a bit different. Probably someone will come up with an obvious example that I overlooked.

Checking out Clay Hammond's history, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay_Hammond , he never made it big (like so many others), but he had quite a varied career.

The Soul Man is keepin' on.

Fascinating stuff.

LP 2 Does anyone know why Mingus and Columbia parted ways after Mingus Ah Um and Mingus Dynasty?

That looks like one I should hear, Jeff. Wish I didn't already have such a backlog to listen to ...

This is the Willie mays I remember best - when I saw him as a kid: But either way, he was my favorite player.
