That session is one of the Cannonball Presents deals.

Does anyone else here know his recordings on Clark's All American? I have mentioned it in a few threads over the years and don't remember anyone responding. It is included in this Prestige 2fer cd:

And the Earl Hines band before that. Come on folks.

You can do that yourself, right now. I'm not stopping you and none of my friends are stopping you. If you can name the names of folks stopping you, I will see what I can do. Geez! Get in your friggin' car and drive some direction other than East!

the first time I remember seeing one of his reports was about XXXXyears ago. He did a segment about the Pentagon's wasteful ways. I forgive all that followed because of this.

I really like Budd Johnson - had a bit of personal dealings with him while working on the Chicago Jazz Festival and he was an amazingly sweet guy. I really regret not taking his advice to visit his home next time I was in NYC. Gee, did I forget to say I think he's a major figure in the history of the music? His recordings are a "sometimes great" and sometimes he's just under great. Love his work with Gil Evans, Randy Weston and other isolated dates like the Prestige Clark Terry All American session. For my taste, he seems to coast a bit if not challenged by the material or other players. Anyone here really familiar with his tenure with the Quincy Jones band around 1960? Had a couple of Mercury lps in school, but no memories. I see there is a fair amount of material from the band's Euro tour. Can anyone shed light on Budd's contributions?

Yes.

He actually bought the Tatum masters back from MGM. He tried to buy the whole label back but failed.

Make the owners pay for the stadiums and make the players play for the door.

You are scaring me Joe.

Al always made calculated mistakes. He preferred Oscar Peterson to Bud and he loved Pringles.

again?

Spotify and that ilk are the final nails in the coffin of commercial recorded music.
