Always room for one more. Welcome. Any friend of Peter's is a friend of Peter's.

I had a number of Dorham recordings since the '50s but never really got into him until Lester Bowie pressed me to really listen.

What a coincidence!

In this one you can see my shoveling.

Here's what it looks like in Whitehall this morning.

Time for me to go shovel snow.

Have a wonderful day.

I could always use a helper.

Bunches.

I'm an old guy and memory fails.

Don't think he sings on it but he made a Limelight lp called Baker's Holiday. It seems to be currently available from Universal/Limelight/Verve/Impulse/Emarcy/Mercury/Smash/Fontana/Philips/Wing/Metro/VSP/MetroJazz/Grand Award/Bluesway/Down Home/Clef/Norgran/Polydor/Command/Leo the Lion/Chess/Checker/Argo/Cadet/ Aristocrat/Cadet Concept/Decca/London/MCA/Felsted/Musidisc/America/Brunswick/Vocalion/Dot/Paramount/ABC Paramount/MGM/etc.

Gil frequently had "low" instruments playing at the top of their range and "high" instruments down at the bottom. That was one of the "secrets" of his orchestral sound. Everybody has their tricks.

Anybody?? Both Lullaby and Different are terrific Dexter. Can't think of others without piano.

Finally arrived yesterday. Great stuff. I think this is a recording that will grow on you with each listen.

I had no idea Shannon and Wadada performed together. What a great idea.

Relating this to the weather thread - shoveling snow is great exercise. I need that in winter since Ann and I take fewer "power walks" with ice on the bike trail and our favorite trails in the woods. About 3 years ago I was at 247 lbs and got down to 190 (I am 6 ft tall). In the last couple of months I've gained about 5 pounds so I welcome the snow.

Gotta stop that damn thing from spinning. I think I can stop it.

Musta been in a public park.

This could take some serious time.

Still fucking off. This might take a while.

I'm way too busy fucking off.

Only if Joe turns his amp down. On the other hand I could bring a wire snippers and work on Randy's kit.

The original was not a "Liberty" pressing, though they owned the company by the time it was issued. This was one of the transitional releases. The "originals" (mono and stereo) were still pressed in NJ by Plastilyte (sp). Funny thing about "vinyl freaks" and "mastering freaks" is when lp was king, all the "audiophiles" had equalizers and created "road maps" for the best settings of favorite recordings. Now with cd domination, it seems to be "plug and play" and bitch.

Great response Danny.

Wouldn't take for them, eh? Guess I wouldn't either.
