And - the Greek George Kottaras as Bill Evans

watch, as they celebrate what was surely one of the most fruitful collaborations in the history of Post-season Jazz!

Also, listen for the arrangement of  "Brew in Green" a tribute to Taylor Green, one of the most talked about 'Cats you'd never heard of!  who was introduced to Evans by none other than Oscar Peterson, the virtuosic Jazz Pianist and visionary from Canada...

 

(ahem) I said, Oscar Peterson, the virtuosic Jazz Pianist and visionary from *Canada!  Oscar?

 

Well, I don't know where the actor portraying Oscar in the small cameo could be at the moment, but he'll be in the film, introducing Taylor Green to Bill Evans and Miles Davis....

 

 

But, one more time, here is a picture of George pass the time... In the meanwhile, I've gotta find a Cannonball Adderley! It'll be like pulling another CC Sabathia, if that's possible : )

You guys might be onto something!

“In play, out(s)” seems like it’d be a good name for a fictitious jazz tune that never made it onto Kind of Blue(Brew).

It would also be a cool title for the actual story…

Or the name of one of the Clubs in Manhattan in the 1950’s.

*cwolf20 – I’m not sure you are cleared to be on here right now, until you get an evaluation for that concussion. I might have to put you on the 7-day Kind of Brew Disabled list!

FanGraphs should consider a venue for a Gallery Night... they could even serve a cake with a Win Expectancy Chart of the 7/7/11 Brewers' game etched in the frosting, and 7-up. Oh, yeah - and t-shirts that say "SABR-Friday." I'm totally there.

So Kottaras is a junkie who never lived up to his potential?

That’s always been my opinion of Evans. The guy was talented but his body of work is miserable.

No, Kottaras won't be. And Rickie Weeks won't by 800 jumpsuits and do a ton of blow, either : )

One of the biographies I wish I’d never read would have to be the one on Bill Evans. It seems like he did his best in the structured environment led by Miles, because he played and arranged stuff he wouldn’t anywhere else.
He’s still important for Kind of Br(lu)ew, though!

*I’ve actually got more to add to this soon (I’ve added some links). And I’ve got 2 more cast members.
I blame us going to the post-season for all of this silliness!

You know how I love to crush dreams

so, its worth noting, that Rickie Darnell Weeks is his given name. Rickie is not short for Richard.

Fixed.

Make sure to click on the link, too! Also, you may crush my dreams anytime, Marlow.

Nah, its a cop buddy movie

Sargeant Marlow is a middle-aged cop whose been there and done it. He’s got a reputation as a single-minded type of guy, the type of policeman who won’t rest until he’s nailed his man. However, since his last girlfriend vanished in mysterious circumstances he thought he’d be happy spending his evenings with only a bottle of Rioja, some old LPs and a dog-eared copy of Baseball Reference for companionship. Then, just as he’s been asked to lead the biggest case of his career, he finds himself paired up with Jess, a jazz-obsessed newbie who can’t help but drive Marlow crazy. But, as they come closer and closer to working out exactly who has been leaving the mutilated bodies of Brewers shortstops across the city they find themselves getting closer and closer to each other as well…

This almost began to read like a variation from the Cracker series...

hey!

I have boyfriend! (I’m using the Saito “I am not birthday!” inflection)

No further questions.

*Marlow set himself up a bit for that response from me, though.
