I received Mosaic Records Sunday Jazz Gazette and saw this: https://jazztimes.com/features/40-essential-solos/ I was familiar with some of the solos (though no doubt not familiar enough), some are not to my taste, and others I had never paid attention to. The article presented me with music to listen to and think about. Perhaps folks here will add some favorite solos of their own. Perhaps even some obscure ones. (Apologies if this repeats a previous thread.) I'll add a favorite of my own - one that's not so obscure. Pres on Billie's "I Must Have That Man".

Snurdy McGurdy (Nessa)

Travadinha: The Violin of Cape Verde (Buda)

What We Live (w. Douglas & Wadada): Quintet for a Day (New World)

Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers: Hard Drive

And Freddie, Augie, and Sir Doug!!!

Lepore did write a book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27071492-joe-gould-s-teeth?ac=1&from_search=true I haven't read the book, but I read the original article that she wrote for The New Yorker, and there wasn't much to that. From most of the reviews, it doesn't seem that there was much to what she came up with. Joseph Mitchell seems to have gotten it right in his mid 60's New Yorker articles and later book.

Dupree Bolton !!!

I felt the same way.

Man in Profile - Joseph Mitchell of the New Yorker by Thomas Kunkel

Nico, Rochereau, Roger - L'African Fiesta Volume 1 1962-1963 (African)

Play my Jukebox (Flyright)

A friend sent me this link and I was impressed that someone who made money in the music business (and elsewhere) was using some of his fortune to promote good works. http://www.rupefoundation.org/ I also didn't know until today that Art Rupe is still with us at 100 years of age.

Here too.

An old favorite

AEC: The Alternative Express (DIW)

Jackson Blues 1928 - 1938 (Yazoo)

Bobby Bradford: Love's Dream

Cher is being honored this year. Take it for what you will.

A sorry and disgusting situation. I'm sure that something similar has or will happen in the U.S.

AEC: Les Stances a Sophie (Nessa)

Michael Hurley: Fatboy Spring (Mississippi)

I liked Eovaldi when he pitched for the Yanks. He's had a history of injuries over his career, but he's always had a live arm when healthy. Good pick up for the Sox. I wonder if the Yanks will face pitching by committee tonight. I think that Kevin Cash deserves some votes for manager of the year, to have that team playing over .500 ball.
