  1. Send me a couple of lbs before I invest in a plane ticket. I could stand to lose a couple of pounds, so this works out well.
  2. Hey Catesta. What about the 2 lbs? You really don't need my address do you?
  3. Hope you don't expect us to go thru all this shit in 26 days.
  4. 4800 for this title is pretty amazing. More than I'd imagined.

  6. Ray Charles looked like Joe Saye.
  7. Laz, you better go to "my controls" and change the date of your birth.
  8. It seems Wittgenstein was a first class a-hole and last class music critic. He really disliked much of the stuff he commissioned and plowed through the stuff he liked.
  9. Monk plays Poker Ornette plays Hard To Get Jim Hall plays Charles Gayle Charles Gayle plays Barney Bigard Paul Desmond plays Hal McKusick Ray Charles plays tennis This could become a disease.
  10. For my tastes the Carnegie Deli has the best pastrami in the world. Once I escorted a bunch of musicians from Chicago to NYC for a Chicago night at Carnegie Hall (part of the Newport fest). I directed a group to the CG for lunch and for years pianist Joe Johnson told all in earshot "This man got me the best sandwich I ever had". I'm sure some connoisseurs will trump me with a neighborhood favorite but the Carnegie does it for me. Be sure to ask for it on white with lettuce and mayo.
  11. Met him on two or three occasions. The last time was at least 10 years ago in Dayton. He was a real "gentleman". I'm sure he will be missed by many.
  12. You gettin' old. It seems we met half your life ago.
  13. I distributed that one too. It was an lp dub since the original tapes were destroyed.
  14. Yes, the vinyl set was a partnership by Sue Mingus and Fred Cohen. I believe Fred still has copies for sale. Was not aware that Fred Cohen had anything to do with the Ulysse Musique releases. The Amsterdam concert albums (a double LP plus a single one' state they were 'produced for records by Ulysse Musique with the kind permission of Jazz Workshop Inc. and Susan Graham Mingus'. Ulysee was a French label that also issued a Cannonball Adderley concert. Great sets, yes! I used to be one of their distributors. I think Sue received "product" for the US market in payment from Ulysse Musique and Fred handled logistiscs/labor. I initially ordered stock from Fred and finally Sue called me offering a deal if I would buy the remaining inventory. I didn't have the bread. Anyway, within the last year or so Fred still had stock.

  16. As someone who worked for/with Clive Davis, he was a moron at times about musical matters but he was not a fool on this level. Unless you have better info Ken.....
  17. Nobody ever talks about bleen!
  18. Try their fries. I hear they are the best - even better than McDonalds.
  19. As a CBS employee at the time I find it hard to believe this happened.
  20. Sound like an irritated bunch of Negros to me.
  21. These answers make me wish I participated.
