He's very big in the younger scene that crosses over to other genres of R'n'B, Neo Soul, hip hop etc And in a way it doesn't surprise me that Bartz hired him as he's always been open to similar crossover. (cue the "but he's not Jazz" protests from the Jazz Police)

Gilles Peterson is reporting that Andy Bey has died https://www.instagram.com/p/DI-CaPzhdCa/?igsh=MWRvYmNsZDM1NWlmdw== What a voice, what a career

What does this refer to?

Caught it on Kanopy this evening and felt rewarded for having done so. Recommended!

What's this about a Milt Jackson + Abbey Lincoln record? Yes please!

New name to me as well.

Or watch TV?

Me too. Will order from DeepDiscount, along with the Strata-East CD upgrades, next time they send me a discount coupon.

Kassa Overall... The only musician I was unaware before.m

The Cleveland Quartet - The Complete RCA Album Collection, disc 12.

I went to an improv/jazz concert today by Creative Improvisers Ensemble Strings (+ percussion) ensemble. Some passages reminded me of Scelsi. So:

I guess I should look for some video.

They are, and it's a nice minor league park.

Just picked up this gem: Mickey Newbury - Live at Montezuma Hall / Looks Like Rain (Elektra, 2 LPs, 1973) I love Mickey Newbury's music.

Did Ted's swing make the bat bend?

Next up: Originally released in 1970 in Japan on the Victor World Group label

I have not seen anything about the Athletics. Are they playing their home games in Sacramento, as I read last fall?

Discogs has this to say: Tenor Saxophone – Tina Brooks (tracks: A1, B1, B2, C1, E1, E2, F2) https://www.discogs.com/release/33799455-Kenny-Burrell-With-Art-Blakey-On-View-At-The-Five-Spot-Cafe-The-Complete-Masters

I'm ready for cricket.

Nice one, especially track one.

Hoping for that too BTW The Graham Lock book "Forces In Motion, England 1985" is the perfect accompaniment to these concerts https://www.amazon.com/Forces-Motion-Meta-reality-Creative-Interviews-ebook/dp/B07FFN3CNZ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1217UR02YLSWS&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.50larZn263PGkW_EuXtE7PR-mW5nN65gkHrjwaRzNybir6IgtlskkJ7lpZWsTbvu8bBJoke5VcqOMNSIoCN38V56zwvrR2Gl9S19j2nDOxJoWyW1mRzz6wbg9Ta9lu3z7BOJjK0EalA_aEO4cIRE8rsn622isgKaw1YTB180MVk.ATmqNVbMHs4s1n34Yh9L2mfBpsfh1CU-gxlRmW3qNbY&dib_tag=se&keywords=graham+lock&qid=1745794846&s=books&sprefix=graham+lock%2Cstripbooks-intl-ship%2C380&sr=1-1

I'm still a bit confused. There are 6 new tracks. Which ones have Tina Brooks and which ones don't?

It's funny how they misspelled "Chu" on the cover. It's a French release; maybe the name's spelling got lost in translation.
