  8. 2010 MLB Season

    in Miscellaneous - Non-Political

    Posted

    SO happy about my Giants-tho I was born in San Fran, I have lived in Portland the last 25+ years. I have followed the Giants all my life-and had doubts that they would ever win the Series. Heart broken in 62 and when they lost to the Angels after being up 3-2.

    'Cept for the pitching staff-and what a staff- no real hitting stars but they had real spirit and such a joy/ but the torture moniker was true as they suffered thru so many one run games.

    Now that they won a series-1st since 54- us Giant fans can relax and focus on the Worriors. They last won when I met my wife- 1975...

  10. Sirius Radio

    in Jazz Radio & Podcasts

    Posted

    I rented a car last weekend that had Sirius radio.

    I found a station-I think it was called Real Jazz-but it might have had another name.

    I think it was station #72?

    Anyway, I was very impressed with the playlist and sound quality.

    How many non-smooth jazz stations are on Sirius?

    Worth purchasing the service? I would have to have the portable radio with docking station as I do not intend to replace my car stereo.

    I did notice the station cutting out whenever I went under an overpass or entered a

    tunnel.

    How is the reception at home?

    Opinions appreciated.

    The monthly fees I have seen quoted seem quite cheap at under $10 a month.

  18. Anyone going to Detroit Jazz Fest

    in Live Shows & Festivals

    Any Board members going to the Detroit Jazz Festival Labor Day weekend?

    Looks like a good line-up..

    My first time seeing Barry Harris!

    Any recommendations for restaurants near the Festival?

    I am not catching a flight till Tuesday afternoon-and won't have a car-some ideas on museums, and other must see stops within walking distance of the Downtown Marriott/waterfront I can do before leaving town Tues afternoon?

    Thanks!

  20. Retta Christie with David Evans and Dave Frishberg, vol. 2

    in New Releases

    Posted

    Frishberg lives here in Portland and when he is not playing in New York, he backs up both Rebecca Kilgore (on Arbors label)

    and lately enjoys playing with Retta, who has a great voice and a big following here in town. David Evans settled a few years ago

    in Portland and plays with many different folk. New Orleans transplant, Devin Phillips, saxophonist from New Orleans, came here soon after Katrina. Bassist David Friesen also makes his home here. Esperanza Spaulding went to high school here before she took off for New York and stardom. Quite an active scene here in Portland, but only one jazz club, Jimmy Maks, where the great drummer Mel Brown plays several days a week. Happily, Curtis Fuller, will be coming to town next month to play with Mel Brown's band
