Was Kenton in town?

The Boston show is definitely a highlight! But I've been disappointed by the European concert dates from that band (of which there are more than a few), with Ndugu now on drums. By his own later admission, he was not ready. Plus that "format" had reached it's shelf life imo. But that was all about to change....

Disc 3 is a damn good record!

The best investment is an investment in goodwill. Looks like they screwed the pooch on that one.

And on Monday, before Irving suffered his injury, the team announced an increase in prices for season-ticket holders. Fuck this clown show.

It does seem odd. As does the presence of Med Flory? And Jack Nimitz? Was this a California session?

We can talk to dead people any time we want. I doubt that they can hear us, but that's not the point of doing it.

I heard nine days, which is three weekends, which is not three weeks?

Otis Olson - Jawny Haunches

A bit loud maybe, but otherwise right between the lines!

Don't think so...

Experienced that one as an LP back in the day. Immediately and permanently imprinted. Still my favorite Billie Verve, and some of my favorite Ben, period.

RIP I particularly appreciate how he remained curious and agile enough to evolve. Being able to meaningfully engage Steve Coleman on his own terms is no small feat. The other way around is to be expected, but the older evolving that much forward, not so much. Much appreciated, the master engaging the pupil on both turfs.

Why that hand gots a specimen cup for the lab?

I know the name Fred Tompkins from an Elvin record or two, and he seemed to always have a record or two in the shelves at Peaches back in the day. But for some reason I never checked him or then out. Glad to at least finally have the opportunity. That was good!

On the right side of when licks become vocabulary.

This.

Danielle Cushion - This Is Danielle Cushion!!!

Checkmate.

My money's on the dog.

Disc 2 has a few things of interest, but just a few. Disc 1 is far better imo.

Signs of Hackman falling?
