  1. I concur about the Wein record, which is saturated with personality! Also...having only one Louis Armstrong record should be grounds for extradition to...somewhere... That's your life force right there.

    Harmony. It happens in the harmony. He creates totally new shapes in songs with his harmonies.

    One of my favorite creators, period. Harmony as liberation instead of tyranny.
  4. I would not automatically assume that the bookie's other clients were all athletes. The potential tentacles of this thing are pretty ugly. Have you ever seen tentacle porn?
  5. And Alan Dawson! Chuck Florence is a pretty interesting case. Lots of influences, but it all comes out in his own voice. He's a Detroiter who gigged with both Mitch Ryder and Jack McDuff before finding his home in Montana. I can recommend this one with confidence. Probably the greatest jazz record ever recorded in Bismark, North Dakota as well! Trust me on this one. Oh yeah, Alan Dawson plays vibes on one cut.
  6. What's the consensus on this one? Essential or just fun? I'm on the fence, and already have had a lot of fun in my life? Or more to the point, how much Hawk is there, and how much Pres?
  7. This bookie guy, when do we find out who his other clients are/were?
  8. I like the cover and the title. If the music follows suit, it should be a good record.
  9. Ah, forgot about that one! Randy Weston was actually "hot" there for a quick minute!
  10. The funds from a wire transfer are easily allocated elsewhere. Organized crime is more than adept at moving money around. Money laundering is easier than you might think. A bookie who receives $6.4 mil from just one customer is hardly your guy Sid who takes your $20 on Friendly Frankie in the 5th out of a back room. That much money goes to more than just fast cars and loose women. It behooves MLB to get this cleaned up quickly and transparently. Let the chips fall where they may.
  11. Drug ring. Porno ring. Gun ring. Human trafficking ring. Or just plain money laundering. Use your imagination.
