Faz had such a beautiful sound! However, I remember chatting with Kenny Davern many years ago. He raved about Fazola's sound but thought he was a somewhat limited player harmonically.

From what I can tell, Eason was based in Newark. Perhaps there was also the hope that there would be some local interest.

Nice article here from 2014 about Frank Robinson: https://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2014/2/28/5456768/buck-showalter-josh-hart-frank-robinson-orioles-essay

Frank Robinson has left us. Sigh. He was my boyhood baseball hero. I lived in Cincinnati my first 6 years and was a fan even then.

My late cat (she lasted 19 years) disappeared one day while we were having some work completed on our new home. Some workers had been at the house earlier in the day installing a tub and had begun to cement in come large tiles that would cover the sides of the base. A few remaining tiles had been set in place but had not been cemented. On a hunch, I removed the tiles, looked underneath, but couldn't see anything. So I left the tiles to the side and retreated to another area. Ten minutes later she reappeared. She had clearly been underneath hiding in a corner.

There's a report that the Dodgers have signed A. J. Pollock. Four years, $55 million.

Those would be the books by Sjowall and Wahloo. Amongst my favorites in this genre. They definitely should be read in order. Highly recommended.

Very nice album. Hard to sound bad with a rhythm section like that. I think I bought it originally for Wynton Kelly and was favorably surprised by Sleet. Sleet didn't record much. Apparently developed some bad habits.

It's definitely not Webster. Or Harold Ashby (who could sound a lot like Ben) either. Frank Culley sounds like a likely candidate. One website says that it's Willis Jackson, but I'm a bit dubious about that. Here's what I found (see here: http://members.home.nl/henk.gorter/Itc5412.html) >>> December 16, 1954 : THE CLOVERS do a three-song session in New York City. "Blue Velvet" is coupled with "If You Love Me (Why Don't You Tell Me So)" for release on Atlantic 1052 in February 1955. A # 14 R&B hit. Also laid down is "Love Bug", which will appear on Atlantic 1060 in April 1955 (c/w "In the Morning Time" from a session on April 16, 1954). Lead vocals by Billy Mitchell. Willis Jackson plays tenor sax, more details unknown. Produced by Ahmet Ertegun and Jerry Wexler. >>>

That's entirely possible, as well.

Just another of a series of puns for tune titles that he recorded. Others include: Red Is Blue Red Arrow Red Hot and Blue(s) Red Bird The Red Tornado The Red Blues Red Road Red, White and Blues Little Red ShoesNo Turn on Red Red Giant

Area code is probably 617. I was fortunate enough to see some shows at the Jazz Workshop in the mid to late 1970s. I remember seeing Bill Evans, Art Pepper, and Milt Jackson to name a few. In fact, I was there when Milt Jackson appeared the night that the Jazz Workshop closed. Here's a photo showing the Jazz Workshop and the adjacent Paul's Mall on one side and the Cinema 733 on the other side:
