Podcasts about Birdland

For three decades Allen McCallum has been on our team as a baseball expert and Orioles historian. He joins Nestor to discuss the firing of Brandon Hyde, the running of Mike Elias and the lousy look and last-place situation of the Baltimore Orioles. And what comes next amidst the chaos for new owner David Rubenstein, who has big decisions coming for the future of Birdland. The post Allen McCallum joins Nestor to discuss firing of Hyde and disaster of 2025 Baltimore Orioles first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

The Baltimore Orioles fired manager Brandon Hyde on Saturday morning via a press release with quotes from David Rubenstein and Mike Elias. The owner and general manager then hid for three days while every player on the roster got asked about it on Preakness day. We think that's lousy leadership. Luke Jones and Nestor react to Elias' tardy comments on Tuesday in Milwaukee and more last-place Orioles losing after the Hyde firing. A shameful week and season in Birdland. The post Luke Jones and Nestor react to Mike Elias comments and more Orioles losing after Hyde firing first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

After an extremely eventful few days in which Brandon Hyde was fired, and Tony Mansolino assumed the role of interim coach for the Orioles, it shouldn't be any surprise that things are feeling as rocky as they ever have in Birdland. After losing eight straight games, today was a brief respite from the misery, as the Birds sacked up, and took the final game against the Brewers in extra innings to avoid a ninth. The guys get into the good vibes from today's win (in contrast to the awful vibes of pretty much the entire month of May), where the club goes from here as they head to Boston for an AL East series, and much more.

The Orioles are taking beatings this month that no one in MLB could've predicted. Luke Jones and Nestor continue a chat about the exasperation and disappointment at the Birdland malaise and lack of fight – and starting pitching – on this beleaguered club as the Yankees crush the return of Kyle Gibson to Baltimore. The post Luke Jones and Nestor continue a spring of exasperation and disappointment at Orioles malaise and lack of fight first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

Our venerable Birdland (former) insider Allen McCallum joins Nestor for their 30th anniversary season of talking baseball, ownership, payroll and some wisdom on the importance of pitching.

After a 24-2 beat down in his latest start, Luke Jones and Nestor wonder what happens next for Charlie Morton and the Baltimore Orioles' beleaguered starting rotation with the season teetering in the wrong direction (already). Bad times in Birdland and no answers for the injured and American League's worst rotation. Up next: the Washington Nationals. The post Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the disaster of Orioles starting pitching and Morton first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

High expectations, young bats and "veteran" starting pitching have been a toxic early-season mix for the Baltimore Orioles, who are scuffling to hit the baseball. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the listless state of Birdland after Tuesday's loss to the Cleveland Guardians. The post Luke Jones and Nestor discuss woeful state of Orioles after Tuesday loss to Guardians first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

Ed and Jeremy took some time from Monday's BBMS to talk Orioles with Mike Bordick. The O's dropped their second straight series in frustrating fashion. While they're just a game and a half out of first in the AL East, the vibes in Birdland are not good right now. Can the O's right the ship?

As a young woman, poet and writer Nikki Giovanni could see that no one was interested in a Black girl writing what was seen as militant and revolutionary poetry. So she formed a company and published it herself. Her second book was launched at the famous New York jazz venue Birdland as she was making a name for herself. When she was 28, she flew to London to sit with James Baldwin and record a conversation for the PBS television series, “Soul.” Baldwin was in his late-40s and an established figure in literature.As event television, it was electric. And clips from that 1971 program continue to be shared. For many young people, that interview is how they first encounter Baldwin, and Giovanni. She's now 81 years old, and has had a garlanded career, including a Grammy nomination, bestselling books and work as a distinguished professor of English at Virginia Tech. Giovanni tells host Razia Iqbal why Baldwin's prose is a beautiful container for the fiery rage found in his messages. Tell us what you think. We're @noteswithkai on Instagram and X (Twitter).

Kate Molleson explores the life and work of the amazing Bud PowellThis week Kate Molleson explores the life and work of a jazz giant in his centenary year: the amazing Bud Powell, in the company of Powell's biographer Peter Pullman. Focusing on Bud Powell as a performer, prioritising his own compositions but also appreciating the art of improvisation as spontaneous composition.Bud Powell was born in 1924 and grew up in Harlem, against the backdrop of the Harlem Renaissance. He was a gifted pianist from a young age and became a pioneer of bebop. But he was a troubled soul and the great paradox of Bud Powell is how there could be such joy and expression in his music while his life was so painful.Music Featured: Bouncing with Bud (from The Amazing Bud Powell) Oblivion (from The Genius of Bud Powell) Strictly Confidential (from Jazz Giant) Floogie Boo (from Cootie Williams and his Orchestra 1941-1944) Do Some War Work, Baby (from Cootie Williams and his Orchestra 1941-1944) Off Minor (from Bud Powell Trio) Dexter Rides Again (from Dexter Rides Again) Mad Bebop (from JJ Johnson's Jazz Quintet) Buzzy (from Charlie Parker, the Complete Savoy and Dial Master Takes) Bud's Bubble (from Bud Powell Trio) I Should Care (from Bud Powell Trio) Tempus Fugit (from Jazz Giant) Celia (from Jazz Giant) Un Poco Loco (from the Amazing Bud Powell) Over the Rainbow (from the Amazing Bud Powell) A Night in Tunisia (from the Amazing Bud Powell) Dance of the Infidels (from the Amazing Bud Powell) So Sorry Please (from Jazz Giant) Glass Enclosure (from the Amazing Bud Powell, vol 2) Lullaby of Birdland (from Inner Fires) Sure Thing (from Inner Fires) Parisian Thoroughfare (from the Genius of Bud Powell) Polka Dots and Moonbeams (from the Amazing Bud Powell, vol 2) Hallelujah (from Hot House: The Complete Jazz at Massey Hall Recordings) Hot House (from Hot House: The Complete Jazz at Massey Hall Recordings) Willow Grove (from Piano Interpretations by Bud Powell) Nice Work If You Can Get It (from Bud Powell Trio) Elegy (from Blues in the Closet) Blues for Bessie (from Strictly Powell) Ornithology (from the Amazing Bud Powell) Bud on Bach (from the Amazing Bud Powell, vol 3) Buster Rides Again (from the Amazing Bud Powell, vol 4) John's Abbey (from the Amazing Bud Powell, vol 4) Cleopatra's Dream (from The Scene Changes) Getting There (from The Scene Changes) Buttercup (from Bud Powell's Moods) Round Midnight (from Bud Powell: Live at the Blue Note Café Paris 1961) How High the Moon / Ornithology (from Live in Lausanne 1962) Broadway (from Our Man in Paris) I'll Remember April (from Mingus at Antibes) I Can't Get Started (from Bud Powell in Paris) Blues for Bouffemont (from Blues for Bouffemont) All God's Chillun Got Rhythm (from Jazz Giant) Hallucinations (from The Return of Bud Powell) If I Loved You (from The Return of Bud Powell) Thelonius (from A Portrait of Thelonius) Like Someone in Love (from Ups and Downs) Bouncing with Bud (Keith Jarrett/Gary Peacock/Jack DeJohnette, from After the Fall) Dusk in Sandi (Chick Corea, from Remembering Bud Powell) Wail (from the Amazing Bud Powell)Presented by Kate Molleson Produced by Martin Williams for BBC Audio Wales & West For full track listings, including artist and recording details, and to listen to the pieces featured in full (for 30 days after broadcast) head to the series page for Bud Powell (1924-1966) https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0024m2z And you can delve into the A-Z of all the composers we've featured on Composer of the Week here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/3cjHdZlXwL7W41XGB77X3S0/composers-a-to-z
