The Evening Blues Weekend Edition Sunday 08-16-15 Preview

Tonight's Evening Blues Weekend Edition will feature Jazz, Bop and Rock Drummer Cozy Cole.
He burst into the awareness of most of my generation with his 1958 rock single: Topsy Part 2

Cozy Cole - Topsy Part 2

I was eventually to learn that Topsy was an "old time" Jazz hit, and that Cozy had performed it in several of the bands and groups that did it back in the day. In fact, he played with the likes of Billie:

Billie Holiday & Her Orchestra (with Cozy Cole) - Billie's Blues

Satch:

Louis Armstrong - Stomping at the Savoy (Cozy Cole Drum Solo)

and Cab Calloway
Cab Calloway (feat. Milton Hinton, Cozy Cole, Rudy Powell) - Get With It

See you tonight for a lot more, including more rock too.

Irony

I just visited GOS and saw a rec'd diary about how Israel is threatening to kill Iranian nuclear scientists.
As you might imagine, people were outraged. Here's one example:

Killing innocent civilians is not terrorism how? (18+ / 0-)
How is Israel not a terrorist state?

I had to comment on that. I agreed with the comment and then added: I totally agree that killing innocent civilians with an assassination program is terrorism.

That's what makes the United States the King of terrorism.

U.S. trained rebels in Syria capitulate to al-Qaeda

And so ends that plan

Al-Qaeda's affiliate in Syria on Sunday released seven members of a US-trained rebel group abducted last month, in a highly unusual move described by the group's leadership as a gesture of good will...
Last month, al-Qaeda-linked Jabhat al-Nusra kidnapped Colonel Nadim al-Hassan, Division 30's commander, and at least several of his companions only a few days after they had crossed from Turkey to the town of Azaz on the Syrian-Turkish border.
Nusra Front then stormed Division 30’s headquarters, killing five members and wounding 18 others in an offensive that left the group all but crippled.
The Nusra Front said at the time it abducted the rebels because they were allied with the US.
The Division 30 statement made after the release described Nusra Front fighters as "brothers" in a sign the US allies are capitulating to the Islamist group.
It said Division 30 is on the "same page with all holy warriors in Syria".
