"Jazz Lab:" A Quintessential Hard Bop Collaboration

Introduction: The late 1950s were a transformative period in jazz, as musicians explored new forms of expression within the evolving subgenre of hard bop. This era gave rise to some of the most innovative recordings in jazz history, many of which still resonate with listeners today. One such recording is “Jazz Lab”, a remarkable collaboration between alto saxophonist and arranger Gigi Gryce and…

generally i am not interested in the idea of satomi and marshall as a pairing but i was just comparing their maybe not so good taste in men and satomi's potential gender stuff vs marshall's gay ass, and the thought of satomi transitioning and marshall coming out and then they hook up is incredibly funny to me

excuse me if you've already talked abt this, but why don't you like Primeval?

lots of reasons, really. i'm obsessed with Justified and i'll forever be in love with it, but City Primeval was a massive disappointment and broke my heart tbh.

for me, the worst part of JCP is it betrayed itself and its legacy for nothing 😔

it was a pointless prologue for another limited series we may never get. the ending with Raylan (lol he would not quit his job wtf) and the fan service was so odd (Boyd's top buttons all un-done and he gets a blowjob from a groupie um okay??) and done as obvious sequel bait that i simply don't trust the writers to handle these characters in whatever series may come from it.

i gave JCP a fair shake and tried my best to be positive while it was airing, but for me, JCP simply gets progressively worse with age and analysis. i'll never be able to do a full rewatch of it in good faith.

by the standards of LEO dramas, sure, JCP is fine. it's slick. it's pretty. the story is fine the characters are fine the acting is fine (well with one obvious exception). but that's just it. it's ... fine on its own.

but when you hold it up next to Justified it is awful. also it's not a neo-western and that gives it a glaring tone issue.

for me, it didn't contribute anything to Raylan Givens' story and i was one of the folks who was excited beyond belief to see Raylan again and see him outside of Harlan doing deputy US marshal things.

i will say i did genuinely enjoy Carolyn and Sandy. they were brief hope spots in bleak offerings but all it made me wish for was a City Primeval show that was allowed to simply just be City Primeval without the expectations of Justified attached to it and Raylan being shoe-horned into there to get the show made.

Olyphant and Holbrook were both nice eye candy. the Raylan and Carolyn kisses were hot and their brief romantic entanglement ended exactly as i knew it would no surprise or disappointment there - i was pleased with how it ended. Raylan and Wendell had great chemistry their On The Case scenes were great. Raylan with Toma (the mob boss) scene was a brief flash of brilliance. but even those various likes can't make up for everything else.

also ... the blatant nepotism behind Willa's casting is just downright shameful good lord 🫠and Willa's entire character portrayal -- nope. not my Willa.

anyways. rant over. i didn't like JCP at all but a respectful hat tip to justies who enjoyed it. glad some of us did.

i've made my peace with JCP by pretending it's someone's fanfic that's not my cup of tea so i'm just gonna politely ignore it.

and someday i'll write some willa fix it fics 😌

'Evenin', folks...Mr. Baggins back with a set to soothe your achin' nerves, this one featuring some of my favorite classic jazz recordings. I'd like to start tonight off with some tracks that Duke Ellington laid down in April of 1953 with Wendell Marshall on bass (plus his trademark vocalizations) and Butch Ballard on drums. These sessions were nothing short of magic. Duke's "Piano Reflactions" of 1953.

Jumping ahead five years to 1958, here is the debut album by Miss Nina Simone, Little Girl Blue, on Bethlehem Records. This is tha record that introduced me to Nina Simone, also in a trio setting, with piano, bass and drums, and it has remained my favorite, through all these many years. Forty five minutes of true classic jazz. Enjoy.

From 1956, one of Billie Holiday's best performances of her signature interpretations of My Man, and from 1958, Don't Explain.

Here's a young Dexter Gordon with an album of ballads, the second of which is his version of Billie's "Don't Explain"

In the late '50s Dave Brubeck and his legendary quartet were experimenting with time signatures, and the results of their experimentation became the album "Time Out", which gave us one of the most famous songs of classic jazz, "Take Five". Here are Dave Brubeck on piano, saxophonist Paul Desmond, bassist Eugene Wright and drummer Joe Morello.

And to round out this evening, I thought I would include (in their entirety) the four albums that Ella Fitgerald and guitarist Joe Pass made for Pablo Records. What is there to say...two legends being legendary together. Enjoy.

Mr. Baggins signing off for the night...I'll be back with you for Morning Coffee Music at 8am Pacific.

Until then, dream sweet dreams, babies, dream sweet dreams.

Baggins out.

Last character in my camera roll: Deadpool (Bless Marvel Insider emails for sending these gems in a gif LOL)

Kiss 💋 Walter Marshall, because fucking look at him, that's why.

Marry 💍 Cavillrine, because I need someone as grumpy as me and who understands my anger issues. *cough* claw kink *cough*

Kill 🔪 Deadpool, because he would make murder funny. DP

🐍: Favourite obscure fandom?

Now, this one is hard...but, I am gonna go with Split (2016). I fucking loved this movie and the entire system of Kevin Wendell Crumb. I was obsessed with this film and I have read TOO so much fanfic on AO3 about different characters but mostly Dennis/Casey or The Beast/Casey.

🪀: Favorite obscure band?

Ok, I lied. This one is harder LOL. Um, I'm a fan of 90s-00s ska. A huge band for me is The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. I fucking loved them in my pre-teen years and still get down to The Impression That I Get weekly.

Wikipedia on the childhood of the jazz pianist Willie "the Lion" Smith (he was no more than 12 here, in the first decade of the 20th century, and so far he'd only been able to play an old organ from which "nearly half the keys were missing"):

Willie had wanted a new piano very badly, but every time he thought his mother was able to afford it, there was a new mouth to feed. [...] As it turned out, piano sellers Marshall & Wendell's was holding a contest: the object was to guess how many dots there were in a printed circle in their newspaper advertisement. Willie used arithmetic to help guess the number, won, and was delivered an upright piano the next day. He played the piano from then on.

Well, I started writing a post about this basically expressing how insane this story feels to me, firstly that a piano company would give away a whole brand new piano as part of a newspaper promotion, secondly that the competition makes no sense to me like "guess how many dots are in this circle"?? It's a newspaper you can just count the dots, take as long as you like!

But to be honest neither thing is really insane, just a bit weird. I assume there was an entry fee to the competition so if the company could rely on enough entrants it wouldn't be that expensive a promotion, doesn't feel like something you'd see nowadays but it could be maybe, and probably it's a big circle with lots of tiny dots such that counting one-by-one would be very time consuming for most people, it still seems too easy for what you get but if the task is nominal and it's effectively a lottery that's not too surprising, they want it to seem doable of course and appealing to potential entrants.

So here's my post: it's pretty wild that a 12 year old kid won a piano by counting some dots in a newspaper and then went on to become one of the great early jazz pianists, but stranger things have happened I suppose. That's not a very good post unfortunately, but to round it out here's a photograph of grownup Willie looking smug but in a cool way at his "pianner" (that's the word piano spoken in a sort of comical manner):

Lewis Sheridan Leary (March 17, 1835 – October 20, 1859), a harnessmaker from Oberlin, Ohio, joined John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry, where he was killed.

His father was a free-born African-American harnessmaker. He was born in Fayetteville, North Carolina. His paternal grandparents were an Irishman, Jeremiah O’Leary, who fought in the American Revolution under General Nathanael Greene, and his wife of African, European, and Native American descent. His great-grandfather, Aaron Revels, fought in the revolution. Through Revels, he was a cousin to Hiram Rhodes Revels, the first African-American to serve in the Senate. His brother was a North Carolina politician and lawyer, John S. Leary.

In 1857, he moved to Oberlin. There he married Mary Patterson, an African-American graduate of Oberlin College. He became involved with abolitionists in Oberlin, which had an active community. He met John Brown in Cleveland.

In 1858, he participated in the Oberlin-Wellington Rescue, when fugitive slave John Price was forcibly taken from the custody of a US Marshal to prevent his being returned to slavery in the South. He was not among the 37 men (12 of them free African Americans) who were indicted and jailed for their actions. As a result of negotiations between state officials (who had arrested the US Marshal and his party) and federal officials, only Simon Bushnell and Charles Henry Langston were tried; both were convicted and served light sentences, in part because of Langston’s eloquent speech in their defense.

He may have been the first recruit from Oberlin to join Brown’s army. He left Mary and their six-month-old daughter Lois at home. Accompanied by John A. Copeland, he went to Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, to join Brown. He died eight days after the attack from wounds suffered in the conflict at Harper’s Ferry. Copeland was captured, tried, and executed. After his death, the abolitionists James Redpath (editor for the New York Tribune) and Wendell Phillips helped raise money for Mary and Lois Leary’s support and the girl’s education. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence
