I never thought about drummers having birthdays. Dang. Hope it's a nice one.

All the best Al. Hope the day met expectations and if it didn't there's always next year.

EXACTLY! I agree completely. Also the "JOS of the week" or whatever it is called.

Did he make barrels and wheels?

I think she was married to one of the Lighthouse All-Stars.

I find it hard to believe this thread wasn't started by Rooster.

Nah, you just peaked. Please look downhill.

Time to wax the Jeep!

Card game gone wrong?

Nothing. For these folks the "art" had ended and they found places to work. That opinion gives them the "benefit of the doubt" they had a clue.

The Wallington BN date was overpowered by some "average" charts by Quincy Jones. Nice but never essential.

Randy Weston "Rhythms and Sounds", Cora Records 01. Next up, Randy Weston "The Healers", Cora Records 02. Great stuff!

Your friends are idiots. Time to move on and find brighter friends.

Darned kids!

Look out Dick Van Dyke!

Used to have the lp, don't have the cd. I remember liking the tenor, vibes, organ sound.

Here's a good place to start - reptet

Now where's the finger!

Please show this ignorant fellow how this can be done. The way Uptown tried (for the Mingus cd) was a series of "legal" letters from lawyers to retail establishments and the "distributors" we could track down. The legal costs were about equal to the "profit" one would expect from a very"successful" historical release. Maybe we should just let the US justice dept know someone is sending in cds we don't want here 'cause of unfair competition. Then they'd protect us. Right? I guarantee Uptown spent more money trying to protect their work/investment on the Mingus project than Jazz Factory spent on their entire product. Get a grip and show me the way to go home. Do you have any idea how many worthwhile projects are "on hold" because of this crap?

I read it that way as well. I suggest a post was deleted and replaced, thus no edit listed.

Andy and the Bey Sisters recorded for Fontana in Paris on April 15, 1959. Clarke played on that date as did Kenny Dorham and Barney Wilen. I'd guess the Metropole date was done around the same time.

But, is there an infrastructure for enforcement and collection?

I always had the suspicion Disconforme used the Andorran address to avoid music publishing fees. Does anyone have real information on the term of "written" copyrights in Andorra?
