I saw her live once at the Montreal Jazz Festival over a decade ago, and she and her band were amazing. One of my top five shows of all time. I strongly recommend a three-CD live set of her Unity band. It came out on a Japanese label a few years ago. I don't think she leaves Japan much, and I have not seen or heard of her touring in the US in years. https://junkoonishi.jp/ https://www.discogs.com/release/15558316-Junko-Onishi-Presents-The-Sextetplus-Unity-All https://www.amazon.com/Unity-Onishi-presents-thesextetplus-PitInn完全版・3枚組/dp/B087Z34DHF

I understand your basic point, and I don't fundamentally disagree with it. However, I do think it's a lot more complex than that. There are those of us who have had many things "go wrong" in life, thus making the decisions to exercise a lot lower priority. For example, if someone can't pay the rent, or they have a brother who just committed suicide, or a son who's drug addicted, or they've been sexually assaulted, those major life events can take precedence over "eating well" or exercising regularly. As someone who has had multiple traumas in the last decade, I know my weight gains (and sedentary lifestyle and shit diet) are my responsibility and my choices. I also know I'm an extremely high-functioning person who has survived a lot of things, other people might not have. Exercise and diet just aren't that high a priority given my life events. Just Google Dana Rivers, Oakland, and you'll get it.

I came across this in my Instagram feed and wanted to run it by this group. Are the publishers being correct that this material hasn't been released previously in its entirety??? Or do I likely own it 3 times already in 3 different "never before released" sessions? https://thelostrecordings.store/en/products/miles-davis-quintet-the-complete-live-in-paris-vol-i-ii-double-uhqcd

After two of my doctors kept warning me about prediabetes, I reluctantly (very, very reluctantly) tried Zepbound. My endocrinologist thought that was the one that would work well with the least side effects. After about three or four months, I'm down from about 240 to 220 lbs. I'm taking a very skeptical approach to these injections for the long-term. I essentially am going to take it for a while (a year-ish) and see what happens.

Thanks. It hurt my daughter much more than it hurt me. Appreciate the empathy.

Hopefully, I've got a few years left at least, but I'm wondering if anyone has a plan to donate their collection to a university music department, public radio jazz station, or something like that. I've got 5000 records (downsized to probably 1000-1500 CDs, with the rest digital). I'd like to have a clean, useful way to transfer them all to a place that might use and keep them. When I got divorced, it was a fire sale... I kept all the Mosaic sets and CDs of my favorite artists, but the physical collection of CDs went from 4000, probably down to 1500. Divorce will do that to ya....

Dumb question... but am I remembering correctly that there was supposed to be a second set of V-Disc big band stuff? If I'm right, does anyone have any details on size or release date?

I did and I do not recall any major sound issues with the Dorham. I would have to go back a second time and hear it again.

That's kinda my point.

Thanks Ken... I'm glad I'm not the only one who reads it that way. I know they have to put non-jazz "big names" out there... but there are a lot of people they could have gotten that I think would have drawn a good crowd. Pat Metheny hasn't been there in years. How about Dave Holland, Benny Green, Kurt Elling, Monty Alexander, Joshua Redman, Helen Sung, Maria Schneider, Monty Alexander, Kenny Barron, etc... ?

https://newportjazz.org/lineup This is one of these moments in life, where I feel really old... since most of these artists I don't know and don't care about. I feel depressed that this is what this great festival has become.... Terrible lineup IMHO. It basically has four or five bands I'd actually pay to see.

Christopher Hollyday doesn't even ring a bell. I tend to think several of the "young lions" from the 90s have hung around and are successful. Benny Green, Carl Allen, Joshua Redman, and Branford Marsalis all come to mind. Who else are you thinking of who was hyped and then disappeared?

Does anyone know if Laurie Pepper is done putting out "Unreleased Art" volumes? I have all of them and they are fantastic. I know she's been putting out the chapters of the book, but the music is fantastic.

Wasn't he married to Betty Carter or am I thinking of someone else?

At the end of the Apple+ TV show Severance, Season 2, during the credits they played Work Song (even if it was sung by Bobby Darin). They played several other jazz tunes in the show.
