That record disappointed when it was issued. Have not listened since. I don't "get" the reputation of this date.

But they were later, and a different JR. He was really proud of all of his recordings and loaned his only copy of The Message to me. It was badly warped at the edge from some heat but I got the message and later found a fresh copy. The Studio 4 record only hints at the playing at that time. A second date was recorded but can't/hasn't been found. This record was by the quartet I heard 6 times a week in those days. I remember "Out of This World" and maybe one of Miles modal tunes. This stuff fades................ For a side note: He loved Perry Como - "He was a barber before he was famous"!

Lotsa' folks seem ready to lick her backside.

If you really care if they do more sessions buy the disc from Mosaic. Let the label and the artist reap the tiny rewards. the cut i heard was beautifully recorded and splendid music. Then buy it from Mosaic.

Nice shot. I've enjoyed all your photo postings. Thanks.

No record had a greater impression than the Columbia lp called "Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five" about 50 years ago. I guess I need to thank (beyond Louis, Johnny, etc) Richard M Jones and George Avakian for the record. The next record to really "work" on me was Monk's "Brilliant Corners".

Please keep the kid away from the art.

Pretty much what Frankie said. Repeated and expanded errors would be the problem.

Why not look for a vibraharp?

We are doomed.

The "Capitol Paris session" is really a United Artists session, first issued as a UAJ lp.

I've done this before on some board: Lucille Rollins Dolly McLean Lorraine Gillespie Laurie Pepper Sue Mingus

Nah. Just an expresion.

Working my way thru the Arista Braxtons.

Not really.

Apples and oranges. I'll take this over any Ayler and almost any Ornette, and any late (post 'Transition') Trane except maybe 'Meditations', but they're very different things. Not for me.

Depends which are upgrades and which are new to you. Not to mention personal taste.

Who was ahead of them on the same curve? I ask to make sure I'm not missing anything from that period that I will want to go back and check into. Did not care about the "same curve". This was after late Trane, Ornette and Ayler. Them's the curves.

They seemed "behind the curve".

Yes--and Chuck's posted some memories from Monterose's early-1960s Iowa days. (Wasn't Nelson Algren teaching up there around that time, too?) I was only able to get up to 1964 with this show... will probably do a sequel centered around the later recordings somewhere down the line. Yup. JR was a big influence on my life. If I live long enough, I'll tell some more stories and will hope I don't offend any members. He had a bunch of "perspectives" to give.

From (failing) memory I say no. The remaining tracks are from a quartet by Q and the rhythm section. They were on the BN cd called "Easy Living". They might be elsewhere in the BN/Mosaic world. The titles were: I've Got A Crush On You Easy Living Nancy

Bought it when it came out. Never understood the reputation (considering all the stuff going on at the time). Nice record. That's all as I see it. Musta' been wonderful for "those Californians".

With the death of Tower and the purge at the top of EMI, I suggest we all hold our breath. When the hammer comes down the little people go first and at BN everyone beneath Norah Jones is little people. It could look alot like BMG/Sony in a month.
