Fred wrote GvE for her.

The two Cecma discs are terrific.

You talkin' 'bout tightly rolled singles?

I've met women like that. B-)

So I have a 38 year head start on Braxton. Get the fuck going.

Wayne was working with a road band. When did he have time to listen to all of Miles' stuff?

Unless the weather goes republican , Ann and I (and daughter Carla) will be there.

Why don't you guys start a Glenn Ferris thread?

Broom soloist Barbutti, in an earlier life, was a record salesman in Chicago. Always admired the doo.

Looks fake but is from the NYT. Makes me feel really smart for not buying that house on the MA coast back in the '70s. On the other hand, I could have sold it for a huge gain in the summer.

I don't have any of those 7" 33s, but I do still have a stack of 45s by Jimmy Smith, Thad Jones, Kenny Burrell, Sonny Clark, Bennie Green, Fred Jackson, Freddie Hubbard, Horace Parlan, Donald Byrd, Horace Silver, Three Sounds, Joe Henderson, Freddie Roach, Eddie Gale (!) and the notorious Lee Morgan Midnight Cowboy/Popi.

Yup.

Phillip Wilson Esoteric with Olu Dara. 1977 on Hat Hut.

That far North, a better guess is Dr. Rat.

No mention yet of Phillip Wilson's Esoteric lp on Hat Hut. It is a series of duets with Olu Dara.

With a fair amount of "late Pepper listening" under my belt (on record and live) I think the quality/quantity of "honesty" in Art's solos had something to do with the content of his bloodstream. When he was "straight" (meaning little stimulation) he could be selfconscious beyond belief. When "medicated" he was just fine by my estimation. The last decade of his life is worthy of a couple of books based on my limited exposure.

Are you saying they can only find work in white bands. or only white bands provide jobs. or what? Seems like white guys played in the Ellington ghost (and otherwise) band on a regular basis. My point is about the direction of the "formal" education and those results.

Unlike your dad, I can't afford doors or locks.

SGUD, you miss my point and the point of the thread as I understood it.

Nothing wrong with plywood, a few nails and a circular saw. It has worked for me for 40 years.

Mostly white guys in this thread. Does this mean anything or not? Is this the best they can do with their degrees from school?

No memory of the Savoy date (I'm an old guy, ok). One time I met Bill, Junior Cook and Lou Donaldson at the airport - didn't have a ruler but they were all shorter than I was at the time. B-) I've always been bummed the Hardman/Muse sessions didn't make it to cd. Home is a favorite and I kept a pressing.

Draper Waldron AT Jm Hardman Doug is in the bathroom. B-)

Had to throw something like 2 feet from our sidewalk this morning. A great neighbor with a blower did most of the drive (25 x 50). Thanks Jack. I love having 4 seasons and if I die pushing snow, so be it.

Subdivision of music is always welcome. I usually respond to parentheses inside of parentheses. I'm deeply attracted to the guys about three tiers down from the real guys. I am willing to be challenged "to a point reached about 40 years ago". After that, feel free. OTOH, there is a ton of stuff (never mind the stylistic subdivision) curently available from Fantasy. Have a great time, don't worry about eras.
