    If you sort his inventory from lowest first, I counted 17 copies of Earl Klugh's "Finger Painting" and 11 copies of Stanley Jordan's "Magic Touch" in the first 100 listings. Anyway, I think those $1000+ listings are some pricing glitch, deliberate or otherwise.. There's no way he doesn't know the market prices of Japanese Blue Notes

    Here in the UK we had Sacha Distel hawking Mandate after shave. I had no idea until a few years ago that Sacha Distel had jazz credentials. To 10 year me he was a funny Frenchman. "Is orat, she's ma waf" was a common refrain in school for a while. Andrew Preview hawking hi-fi. Again, I was ignorant of Previn at the time; he was a somewhat mannered man whom Morecambe and Wise took the piss out of on British TV.

    Quincy Jones RIP

    Haha, I also return to it from time to time, including yesterday. It's quite a ride - I think it was discussed on here at the time - 2018 I think?

    Pretty sure there is one there. Think of it as a "Where's Wally?" (or Waldo, depending on where you live) type of challenge

    That's sad news, Benny was a big part of my early jazz listening 30 years ago, via the Moanin' and Groovin' with Golson albums in particular.

    I see that Gap have come up with a Monk T-shirt. Alas, @Rabshakeh, it appears to be a US only release. https://southcentremall.com/shop/product/thelonious-monk-graphic-t-shirt-gap-362fa0

    I bought a copy of Kaleidoscope a couple of weeks back, and inside was a nicely-preserved copy of the programme for the tour you mention. I took a pic but it's about 5Mb too large for me to upload here, unfortunately.

    @Rabshakeh - you could buy this at Abercrombie & Fitch last year

    Rinku Singh famously hit 30 off the last 5 balls to win an IPL match last year: And the infamous last over of the T20 World Cup final in 2016, when West Indies needed 19 off the final over:

    Indeed. My other thought was that it could have been a little-known genre of music coming out of Bristol and Bath

    I bought some records recently, and on the inner sleeve of a Harry Beckett LP is written the date and "LP in good shape but music clever avon garde?"

    True enough

    Well, to get even more confusing, in The Hundred, a bowler can bowl two "sets" (there are 5-ball sets in The Hundred, rather than 6-ball overs) consecutively, from the same end.

    You get a similar mix in England. For bigger games, there are usually stands dedicated to certain groups. You get member's areas, "family" (alcohol-free) stands, and at Old Trafford, the "Party Stand". The latter, as you can imagine, gets quite raucous. It's usually good-natured (lots of singing and a beer snake or two), but perhaps not for the purist. I had good fun the twice I sat there.

    Big win for TSK - match report please, including food and mid-innings entertainment, if any?
