I don't want you.

A list of the "great" post '70s recordings would be appreciated.

To contain all those musical ideas? -_-

Incomplete research.

Time for more research, you "historian".

Allen, what you say is fine for completest freaks, historians and other "nut cases". I say that with great affection for completest freaks, etc, but for listening pleasure it's a hard sell for folks without 25 Dolphy cds. Also, FWIW this is not the equivalent of Bird in '40-42. Earlier Dolphy in decent sound is out there.

Meant "pretty straight". On his return NY and $$$$$ changed things.

Brings me back to the Red Sox seasons of '73 and '74. Mid afternoon I'd jump on a train and two stops from my office I'd be at Fenway. Bleachers were $2 and you could drink beer.

I saw Jesse White in a restaurant in Santa Barbara in 1967. He fixed my Maytag once.

Didn't mean to infer you did. I was still responding to Paul's post.

That's fine if you don't whine about the "competition".

That's an unfair statement, though. You're never going to do better than Diz and Bird or Trane and Monk. You can only do different, and maybe you'll be lucky enough to do different at their level. But, by definition, you can't do better than the best. And here is the real problem. Do you think Pops, Duke, Bird, Diz, Ornette, etc ever thought "You're never going to do it better? What you can do is "become the best"! If that is not your goal, I'll keep that in mind.

So, is Allen running away?

In a big way, the Columbia deal was the worst thing that could happen to him. Unlimited time, lots of spare cash and a bunch of folks running around trying to keep him happy.

It was reissued at one time by Fresh Sounds. Isn't that amazing?

Time for all concerned to take a pill, and stop being one. I knew Art Pepper and Dexter Gordon.

I'm getting really tired of waiting. Shut the damn thing down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you really that fast, or did you have that "at the ready"?

What is that, irritable vowel syndrome?

Irritatum vulva.

Could be 7/4.

Jimbo.

Carp, carp, carp.

Sorry to be late to the party. All the best to Nate, Jane and Anne.

No. It is too late.
