Also the title of a Sal Nistico album.

The Amazon blurb says that it is being released under the permission of the original producer, Bob Porter. Does Bob keep the rights to the Phoenix Jazz masters?

I still think Turk Mauro has the weirdest All Music Guide entry ever. It's written almost like an obituary and gets deep into his personal life - as if the person writing it knows him too well. https://www.allmusic.com/artist/turk-mauro-mn0000169721

He used to play a lot at a local club, and build up to a frenzy on his solos to the point where he'd start stomping his feet so hard on the stand that he sounded louder than the drummer. He heard a tape some of us made with a bunch of my tunes on it, and said he wanted to play with me. I was kind of afraid of him, so I didn't commit myself to it.

I was not expecting that bio... I think you’re correct about it being the weirdest.
