That 'splains a bunch to me. Sorry it took so long.

word of the day: stopthissillyshit!

Amazed to find the cd "out of reach". I burned my record to cdr.

Maybe some film from the Berkshires.

Never "connected" with him.

Are we talking about the cheese company?

I can find a reason/excuse for any listening pleasures from the past but am feeling pretty smug about it as I look back.

Muhal!

SS has most of it right. Fiends could not afford the Newport material. That should be Fields.

I was about to mention it as well.

They keep happening so I might as well join in. HB.

Many thanks John.

I thought this was a fancy roach clip.

What's To Ya from The House of Blue Lights by Eddie Costa with Wendell Marshall and Paul Motian. 1959 and all over the place - from Tristano to Taylor to Evans to Garland, but always EC. Wish he had made 20 more piano trio records.

How many in the group?

Was hoping to see Von Freeman and Ed Peterson do one of their tenor battles at the Green Mill in Dec. Weather was threatening, so I called the club. Oh sure, of course, they'll be on tonight. (Acted like I was stupid for asking. It's Chicago, dumb-ass, what's a bit of bad weather.) We had a huge-ass blizzard. Obviously, the show was canceled. I think I actually did drag myself to the club only to find no one was there (didn't have a cell phone at the time), but maybe that is a false memory and I am just making it overly dramatic. What year?

Could have been worse - could have been twelve trombones.

I just know them as the best food stores I have ever seen. Sadly only get to visit them in Buffalo.

Wish Wegman's would start moving westward. I really like them when I encounter 'em. Count me in as a self checker.

Invitation.

i hope the catalog is finally in the hands of someone who will responsibly do something of value with it! Not sure the economics of the "industry" work in their favor at the present time.

You weren't the audience but it still didn't happen.

It looks interesting because you don't have it. Much money will be saved when you understand this.

yup

No, this was a drummer Smith was using on the West Coast. We started with Blakey, Jimmy wanted Grady Tate and wound up bringing his "local guy" for the gig of his life.
