A bunch of Doug Sahm and Michael Hurley on YouTube to forward to a friend. A couple of samples:

Sonny Rollins plays for Bird

Baaba Maal: Baayo (Mango)

Happy Birthday!

According to the stats. Ryan hit only one batter in 1993 (a rarity for him). Evidently, that one batter was Robin Ventura.

Happy Birthday!

Bud - Volume Two

Very cool.

I don't think that any of us can see into the future - not with any clarity anyway. Sometimes it's just interesting to roll with time and see what happens. Occasionally, we may even help to make things happen. At least we might like to think so.

There was so much going on there that I couldn't keep track of it all.

If Bo Jackson had decided to have a go at someone, he would have done some damage.

Blind Willie McTell: Blues in the Dark (MCA)

I recommend it highly - a quiet classic. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did.

J.L. Carr: A Month in the Country

I’m not going to say we are winding down right now. But unless some incredible miracle happens where jazz becomes the new hip-hop and people start buying CDs and LPs more than they are downloading, then yes, we will crash and burn... But with that said we soldier on and hope we can make things go for a few more years. Seems clear to me. I'm not sure how to translate it into JSngryese.

Little Esther: Better Beware (Federal/Charly)

Blind Willie McTell: Atlanta Twelve String (Atlantic)

Almost 8 years since the last post. I was just having an email discussion with a friend about Charlie Haden's Montreal recording with Don Cherry and Ed Blackwell. My friend sent me a link to this video of Don Cherry playing with Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Billy Higgins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNXePvT5H0s Looks like Don Cherry was having some fun there - a good thing - we all should have fun. Then I came across this video of Sonny Rollins speaking about Don Cherry:

Good one, Peter!
