Are the alts at the end?

Since you seemed to beg for 'flames' I will respond. Ed Hall was a very fine clarinet player. I have him on hundreds of recordings and have enjoyed him for 40+ years. He tended to 'get hot' by throwing some switch and he was overly influenced by BG at some point. Considering your list of favorites I suggest Dodds, Simeon, Goodman, Shaw, Nicholas, Bechet, Russell, Tesch, Defranco or even Giuffre. Moving on a bit, how about Braxton, Mitchell, etc.

May your worries be few. Thanks for being you.

Sorry to say I feel my friend Clem has lost all (at least much) focus. Read his posts and note he's disputing his own recommendations. Dark/not/yes/no. Come back "real Clem"!

What can it do for me today?

If you like "Serenade" and want a more "kick ass" disc contact me about "Have No Fear".

It is a fine document of the time but nothing like hearing him in person.

for Granz.

HERE!

Sometimes I do it like this:

Maybe if you expand the pool of applicants beyond Joe, Jim & Randy you'll get more nibbles! ← I meant Organissimo forum members, not just Organissimo band members! ← Sorry, but I'm 195 miles away. Otherwise, I'm always up for comps.

Not exactly what I was thinkin'.

You talkin' 'bout Sonny, Tolliver and Hill? I think Woody was s'posed to make the gig and Charles was sent as a sub.

You really want to set that machine for 1968. That's when all the companies dumped the mono pressings. I remember about 3 bins of mint BN monos in my store. Hey, they had phoney stereo and that's what folks wanted.

My old friend Bob Blumenthal won the $25,000 Pyramid 30+ years ago. At least I think that was the name of the show.

Good time of the year to move there. Your sweat glands will have time to adjust.

You seem to have an original promo. Back in the early '60s I had a Booker Little like that.

Evan Parker "Monoceros" direct-to-disc" on Incus. This will clear your sinus.

I always liked the record named for you! HB.

Reissues are "all the rage" here.

But ya' still gotta go to Des Moines for the "beautiful girls".

Happy birthday and thank you for the work - I've been enriched. I'm old enough to "not remember" the first time I encountered your work. I do know your name was imbedded over 40 years ago.

I don't think so.

Feldman - possibly, Gorecki - no. -_-
