I think there's a typo in the second word of your message.

Once I was at a meeting when a musician said "I wish, just once, a record producer said 'hey, we made more than we expected on that project - here's some extra bread' ". I said I'd be happy to do that AFTER I heard a musician said "Hey, I know what you were trying to do, and it just didn't work out - here's some bread back". He laughed and gave me an elbow in the ribs. Please note, I understand your complaints. They are valid, but are the same for all "art driven" folks.

Nothing. My wife takes care of that.

Well...there's Freddie Keppard, Bunk Johnson, Buddy Bolden...and that's just for starters. Thanks a bunch Moose.

I'm willing to put the indie record company problems against yours anytime. Wanna go toe to toe? (And I don't live in a town full of label owners/producers.)

You have missed more than the point. Sad response, I must say. Are you looking for the "advantage"? Who are these artists "not jazz playing anymore"? Better backtrack quickly son.

I don't watch this stuff anymore. Forgive me. So, now I'm an really old fart.

WTF is Yes Dear?

No Savoy connection. Ozzie produced a bunch of Prestige dates 1962-64.

None have been deleted, so go to the True Blue site and use the search "drop down" menu.

No, they were recorded in the club on a disc recorder by Jerry Newman.

It is just music, listen to it that way. Nothing complicated, just music.

Everything was in the RED zone in those days. Push, push.

Right. Go back to typing in your collection. We can't wait for the next batch.

Sez you.

Ah, one of my favorite Shepp albums. But I believe it's on Impulse! and not Blue Note... Yes, it's great and addiqtive too!

Low expectations are delivered.

Nuff said.

Give that man a cigar!

I had heard that. B-)

Yeah, but his goal was to stop it.

Dexter Gordon on Something Different.

Boy, I can't wait for those succas! B-)

Tip for Jazz Kat: Do not ask a question, then insult the results. This is early teen stuff.

Not me!
