I never connected on records or in person (last time was with Art Pepper) - never felt there was a "real" Roger Kellaway.

Surprised by all the negativity. Many years of pleasure here.

Mine arrived today. Didn't really need it yesterday and $26.82 was a good price.

Dexter was always behind the beat. It was one of the devices he used. No biggie.

Playing this again...by chance, does anybody know anything further about the trumpeters here, Robert Nagel & Allan Dean? Don't know which is who, but there's a sureness of phrasing on display that is certainly impressive, and immediately appreciated by this listener. The entire ensemble is impressive (as are Schuller's readings), but the trumpet playing is, when it occurs, the final micro-focusing of the lens. Or so it sounds to my ears on these first few listenings. Going back many years, Nagel was a friend of a friend. I will see what I can find.

Nope.

Yup.

Can "Kobe '66" be far behind?

In the mail today.

Hadn't realized it was a Keepnews production.

Got me 2.

When I saw Bobby Bradford last week he encouraged me to read the book. He said "It's not because he's an old friend and used to be my drummer. It reads like a novel and I think you will find it interesting". I hope I got that quote correctly.

Since this thread has ventured out of control, I offer:

I had no idea he was still alive.

All those Dixon-produced Savoy LPs are great. I am of the understanding that licensing these would be pretty tough. A friend who runs a very above-board label was trying to reissue the Marzette Watts and gave up. Columbia Japan didn't seem particularly interested in back-catalog obscurities or going through the nominal amount of work to get them reissued by someone else. They are interesting, not great in my world. Interesting is better than half the stuff out there. Great is a commitment. This crap only drives up ebay prices for marginal records.

Delete and bump again on the same friggin' day isn't cool.

There are 7 alternates for It's Easy to Remember in the Deluxe Edition,

Many thanks. Nowhere else can I piss off so many people with so little effort.

I'm not going to get into a further discussion of RVG CDs - We've been there and done that. However, if it weren't for that "geriatric clown", you'd have very few BN SMH releases to listen to. Or you might buy a decent turntable and pick up a few King, Music Matters, Analogue Productions, whatever LPs and hear what that "geritric clown" did in his younger days. As someone who has done work with RVG, I find this revolting. Rudy deserves much better than this from "internet experts".
