Red Norvo: The Forward Look I find it very surprising that Leonard Feather, who wrote the liner notes for this release, credits Horace Silver's "Cookin' at the Continental" as a Norvo tune, when he (Feather) wrote the liner notes for Horace's Finger Poppin', the album on which the tune first appeared.

Sarah Vaughan: The Early Years - "The Divine Sarah" (Musicraft)

Hamlet Dane Clark Superman

He was on one of the first jazz LPs I bought - Sonny's Our Man in Jazz - and his playing never lost that heartbeat. Thank you, Mr. Cranshaw.

How many of us can say that? http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/music/reich/ct-jazz-mart-bob-koester-record-store-ent-1102-20161101-column.html

Colin Dexter: The Daughters of Cain One of the better Inspector Morse mysteries.

Thanks! Jazz certainly seems to be alive and well in Japan.

Joe McPhee: Glasses (Hat Hut)

Archie Shepp & Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen: Looking at Bird

Rooster Cogburn Foghorn Leghorn Chicken Little

Gene Ammons: Boss Tenor

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/31/arts/music/london-listening-clubs-spiritland.html I wouldn't be interested in listening to most of the music that's mentioned and pictured in the article, but what did interest me is the mention of jazz kissatens (cafes) in Japan. How many of these still exist? Perhaps kinuta or someone else can answer that question.

Randy Weston: Blue (1750 Arch)

I like it too.

All of the actors on Cheers were good.

Is baseball the only sport where players use chewing tobacco? Can't recall players using it in any other sport.

Tobacco has been banned in minor league dugouts for a number of years. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/7269744/baseball-labor-deal-union-limits-does-not-ban-tobacco-useis In the major leagues, the ban is on a city by city basis. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/7269744/baseball-labor-deal-union-limits-does-not-ban-tobacco-use Whether and how the local bans are enforced is a whole other story.
