Shake it Down, Lillian Glinn.

Why not? I don't follow. Do you mean that the museum and library think it would be too costly for them to do this? Because it would not. Internet Archives does it. Even the individual who has the Red Hot Jazz site manages to do it.

I hope we are not going to be limited to a costly Mosaic set. There's no reason the museum itself can't make this available online for download one song at a time even if Mosaic puts out a commercial box set. This has been hoarded for so long, why put it in the monopoly of a single company for who knows how much longer? License it but non-exclusively. Just my two cents.

As great as that call is, turn off the volume next time and just see Eddie Stanky charging across the field, jumping for joy all over Leo Durocher at third base! It has to be one of the greatest images of pure joy in sports that I can think of!

I read on this board that Lester Young loved Frankie Trumbauer, so I thought he should be mentioned in this thread as one of the greats of jazz.

A Face in the Crowd, Hud, The Subject was Roses -- all great films!

Indians apologize for not having ace pitcher to trade to contender this year

Ryan Zimmerman of the Washington Nationals leads baseball in walk-off game winning home runs since September 1 2005, his first game in the majors, and he did it again last night against the Phillies. This is sweeter than it would have been to beat them on opening day, when the team sold more tickets to Phillies fans than locals.

The playing is very good on Monk in France and Thelonious Monk in Italy, which I have on Original Jazz Classics from around 1991-1995, when I was buying stuff like this. For my ears, Thelonious Monk in Italy is just not as bright sounding. On Epistrophy, for illustration, it's noticeable that the drum and bass are more up front than the piano and saxophone. Just crank up your volume. Lots of good tunes in these sets! I would definitely not call these weak albums.

On the subject of Monk in France and Monk in Italy, did anybody mention the sound quality of the cds? IIRC one had much worse sound than the other. I can dig it out and let you know which one.

Have a good one, and thanks for sharing your knowledge here.

He wrote some pretty good songs, including I Fall to Pieces, and He's Got You (Patsy Cline) A Little Bitty Tear Let Me Down (Burl Ives) Make the World Go Away (Eddy Arnold) You Comb Her Hair (George Jones) Set 'Em Up, Joe (Vern Gosdin) It's Not Love (But It's Not Bad) (Merle Haggard) The Chair, and Oceanfront Property in Arizona (George Strait) http://www.nashvillesongwritersfoundation.com/a-c/hank-cochran.aspx RIP

Is there anything newer than 2002's The Modern Red Norvo?

Nice come back from behind win for Washington, with Ivan Rodriguez blooping a single into right field for the walk off rbi!

Thanks for this thread and its wonderful reviews and suggestions! It helps to get an orientation since I don't know hardly anything about this musical style. Does anybody remember the episode of the TV show Frank's Place that prominently featured a brass band funeral? If I remember right, through a series of misadventures they had the corpse sitting up at his own wake! That was a short-lived but funny series!

I wasn't hearing Jon Miller or the game, but I always thought the tradition was for the team and the coaches to refrain from mentioning no-hitter while the game was in progress, not the TV and radio announcers. I have no problem with that at all. That's just doing the play by play. Even for Don Larsen's perfect game in the World Series, the announcers were giving the run down: No runs, no hits, no errors. They would have been remiss to not include that information after each at bat.

Well, Stras just gave up his first home run!

Jelly Roll Morton, Chronological Classics, 1939-40. Not as early as you might be thinking, but some very good solo piano and the sound is good.

MLB Network is actually showing Padres v Mets. I am catching the local network (Mid Atlantic Sports Network) coverage of Nationals and Pirates. I like it that Strasburg works fast. This game is zooming by!

I hear you - I am quite familiar with his music. But there's a difference: It'd be hard to argue that Iry hold the same sort of mythical status in cajun, IMO, as RJ does in blues. Or that cajun is any way comparable to delta blues in the context of this sort of multinational myth-making. I LOVE tradition-based but ever-evolving music - these days I really don't listen to much else. But for many, RJ is perceived as The Beginning, The Big Bang. Check out the reviews for the box set at Amazon, for instance. Thanks for reporting how insignificant my culture and its music is. Was that even necessary? I was only remarking that there's no point in holding it against an artist for having heard records.

If in Cajun music we held it against someone because he studied earlier records, what would that mean for Iry LeJeune, perhaps our greatest artist of all? He studied records by Amédé Ardoin and Joe Falcon quite closely and transformed some of their tunes and themes.

After a 10 game road trip that had us Nationals 3-7, including 3 straight losses to Houston, it's a tough home stand against the Redlegs, then Strasburg's debut next week! Time to climb back over .500. Did anything else happen in baseball this week?

I never saw canteloupe (melon français) served as a fruit until I moved away from Louisiana. I never even thought of it as a breakfast item. It was always served with dinner as a side dish, but we wouldn't salt it. The combination of salty and sweet has some appeal for me, I guess. Now, I haven't seen salt on a beer can in a long time!

While we are talking about Goldwave, will this volume equalization thing work if I am compiling speech followed by music folowed by speech, for a podcast like a radio show? Will Goldwave equalize the volume for mixed formats like that? Thx.

Go figure! The Nationals lose to the Giants' Wellemeyer on Tuesday, but they beat Lincecum on Wednesday. Hope our bats are waking up. Tough road trip against the Giants, Padres, and Astros might sink us below .500 for good.
