Rudy told me the Sabu date was his first stereo session for BN. The Manhattan Towers sessions were recorded by Rudy. FWIW, the stereo master of Palo Congo sounds like crap compared to the mono.

Well I've been searching for another fairly recent "relatively long" thread about Horace's "money grubbing" tactics and $80 t-shirts, $$$ for autographed photos, etc I can't find it. After what I thought were multiple threads that talked these issues to death, your new one set me off. Missed the day you earned all the respect. Sort of like the day I missed why you say "Don't like this either. Somehow I'm not surprised".

Try HERE

Yeah, you're baaaaaddd! This thread was started in November and has been active today. Not really hard to find.

I think it's spelled "dood".

Don't like this either. Somehow I'm not surprised. You don't know what you're talking about and have obviously missed earlier discussions of Horace and his website. A quick search should be enlightening. Give me a break! I've known Horace for 30+ years. edit for stupid spelling error

I'm with Jim here, with the exception for the Lee/Jackie tandem - they be wonderfull too. But I'm not so "tenor centric".

Mr Ned Goold seems to have run away without defending his position. Come back and defend your life.

Gimme a break.

Do you consider this "growth"? Or is it a passing "phase"? How exactly do you relate to music?

I alway thought Harold looked (spookily) like Richard Nixon at the piano.

Hopefully an interesting side note: This was in the first Liberty distributed release from BN. Still BN pressings and covers. I remember the salesman visiting the JRM and giving me a promo. Can't be too many "real" BN copies out there.

He seemed to be a good guy and better player. I hear he had ballooned to almost 400 lbs. Not a good thing. Sorrow all around.

So, is this considered a group "reunion"?

Absolutely! And be well my friend. I've missed you here.

I was told she's a "wizard".

Carol Emanuel with her sisters Ruth and Irene all played harp on Wadada Leo Smith's piece "The Burning of Stones". Muted trumpet and 3 harps! We recorded this at RVG's on May 21, 1979. FWIW, Betty Glamman (or Glamann) plays on Ellington's "A Drum Is A Woman" too.

Like the band, have not heard the disc but this is a frequent problem when musicians have control of the "package". A fair number of good artists have sunk themselves 'cause they had "control".

Geez, I forgot to say 100 years. Let me consult Berg, Webern, Carter, Boulez, Cage, Stockhausen, etc. Or maybe more "on point" I should check with (late) Gorecki.

You don't have any idea how hard it is to be "35 years behind the times" and "50 years behind the times" at the same friggin' time. It leads to discomboblulation.

Somebody's on a mission.

Come on, I'm holdin'.

some discussion HERE.
