Not that it is important to anyone but me, I want to add Monk's Music. This is probably the first jazz record memorized. Monk, Hawk, Coltrane, Ware, Blakey - whooooo Jack!
Never saw a glass bottle with a bottom like the one pictured.
Bottled water from any source is an unnecessary drain on the world's water supply and is simply a marketing ploy. Next they will be selling you air.
Never any corrections from me.
I am a peasant with a peasant's lack of understanding and disregard for the proper stuff. If you do not understand anything I say, ask for a translation.
I am really curious about the exclusion of AACM players. Muhal and George Lewis are in town. People who played at the Velvet Lounge don't really count.
It is friggin' NYC and the best you can do it this. How about the BAG guys too. Oliver Lake is worth whatever you could manage. Too late for Julius.
Ann and I were thinking of spending a shitload for the events, but...........
All of this gives me the creeps. I knew the fine bass player Milton Suggs in Chicago - he worked with Betty Carter and others. He was a kind person killed way too early by disease. Can't shake that to enjoy the rest. Sorry to fuck up the thread.
First of all, there are only 4 Deccas (New York, New York; At the Five Spot; In Kansas City; Jazz in the Space Age)-- not enough for a Select. Secondly, all with the exception of In KC have been released domestically.
There is more than enough material left over from the "KC" sessions to fill out a good Select.
For years a Selectric II was my daily work machine. Still have it and it needs a re-hab to work smoothly. No inclination to do that now but I can't get rid of it for some reason.
Sometime in the late '80s/early '90s our fine town had a citywide garage sale. The county's largest employer (Howmet Corp - now Alcoa/Howmet) was changing their tech and donated some office supplies to the sale. Long story short, Ann came home with 2 cases of supplies. Remaining from that haul are (as far as I can tell) 167 "High Yield Correctable Film Ribbon" cassettes and 115 "Lift-Off Tapes". They are packaged 6 to a carton.
I'd hate to send these to a landfill. Any suggestions?
