Red Label. Can't really afford Black.

Ejazzlines told me via E-mail that they got 6 orders for that one copy of Hank Mobley Quartet in about 30 seconds. I missed it too. So far, I've only missed two titles. They are pretty quick to update their on-line inventory, just not immediate. It's too bad they can't make the inventory live. There's nothing worse than sitting back and thinking you got your order in to get that title you wanted, only to find out it was already bought. Drives me crazy. Is that the March 27, 1955 quartet session that was released on CJ28-5128 you're talking about? A great CD! I managed to find a copy last year. It's a McMaster, by the way. The session's on the Mobley Mosaic, of course. Yes, I have a 10" lp and the Mosaic (with extras) but wanted the single cd so I could "dump" the box.

Good for Ornette for $$ but of no consequence otherwise. He can "blow their fucking minds" and what good are they then? Lots of "beautiful things" of no real importance.

You must eat at a steady, quick beat. I prefer savoring my meal.

Chops, loud, many good ideas and sometimes overbearing.

Got 5 of the 6 I ordered. Hank Mobley Quartet was not shipped and that was the main reason for the order.

Happy, happy!

Guess we can all take the queen's advise and eat cake.

And Dick Dale was...... What was the "talent" he had to offer? I'm really tired of stupid people crying about stupid mistakes. The entire record company/"artist" paradigm is over already. Gotta find new devils.

CHECK THIS OUT Flo and Eddie were talented IDIOTS!

Maybe I could start a new label, buy one mike, find a long room, not pay anyone, convince a bunch of folks I'm ok and have a catalog of 400 cds.

The entire piece could have been one paragraph. BFD. We be stupid. End of story,

It depends on the type of music - especially in Chicago. If I went to a Gene Ammons gig and nobody talked back to Gene and the band I'd know I was part of a really up-tight white audience AND the music would suffer.

That sounds fabulous!! Could you post the recipe? Received permission. -_- 2 lb pork tenderloin 12 oz chili sauce 16 oz can cranberry sauce (we use 'whole', you can use 'jellied') 2 Tbsp brown sugar 5 cups cooked long grain rice 1. Pork in slow cooker 2. Mix chili sauce, cranberries and brown sugar 3. Pour over pork 4. Cover and cook on "high" 4-5 hours, then on "low" 3-4 hours. 5. Serve over rice. For the third meal (sandwiches) reduce the sauce and shred the pork.

That sounds fabulous!! Could you post the recipe? Gotta ask Ann.

Tom from Jazz Music Depot recently offered some Black & Blue cds here. Two of them were by a quintet of Budd and Charlie Shavers. I recommend both. Budd is a "monster" on a couple of Gil Evans records. I heard him in person a number of times. He played the Chicago Jazz Festival at least 3 times when I was involved and was a dream to work with. We had him in a Hines "reunion" big band, backing B B King and working in an all-star group. I will never forget one night relaxing in a lounge with him, Melba Liston and Randy Weston. It was "old home" time for those three. I deeply regret not taking him up on a couple of invitations to visit his NY (Brooklyn) apartment. Such a sweet man.

Pork roast, slow cooked in cranberry sauce. We will have two "proper" meals with this and eat the leftovers on hard rolls.

Very fine show indeed! Barry and Swell were outstanding. Swell has developed into a masterful instrumentalist. Hilliard Greene has really grown into his role since I last heard the band. I've always been ambivalent about Ullmanns' playing, nothing negative, it just never struck me. Last night I felt very positive about his tenor playing but the bass clarinet didn't do anything special for me beyond the colors the instrument added to the ensemble. I urge the Chicago members to go to the Velvet tonight.

Last time they came through here Ullmann had top billing. This time Swell. Possibly 'cause Swell has been getting some attention here recently.

who?

Say, suh, pass me that Don Redman platter... "Chant of the Weed," baby! Be very, very careful. Horny is watching.
