This is probably my favorite Blakey record. Look At The Birdie is my favorite, but I can probably sing all of Wayne's solos on this one.

Also Grantstand and Horace Silver Trio.

Deep, there is a possibility of "Uptown interest". I believe they have a "blanket agreement" with Lorraine Gillespie and they have dealt with the Herman estate in the past. I will pass the info on and see what happens.

I placed a sizable order with them online about a month ago. They have ignored it, and my subsequent emails. The retail website is gone as well.

Guess you are correct. Those reinterpretations of Leonardo, Beethoven, Piccaso, etc are wonderful. I have 3 different artist's versions of a Rembrandt in my collection now. Duh! If someone like Santana thinks something like Trane's work needs investigation and "reinterpretation", I'd be more impressed if he'd select some neglected work.

Saturday nite, 9:30 and the piece is up on the site.

I've had it on lp (twice - bought a 2nd copy after too much wear), 1st, 2nd and 3rd cd editions. Probably my favorite Mingus since it was first issued. The current cd package is worth it for the extra material.

Please understand this group only plays 2 tunes lasting about 12 minutes. The rest of the set is fine if you like BE, but I don't want to misrepresent it.

Great news Chris. Good to have you back. Everyone needs to remember - Deep is just a moniker, not a description.

He was also one of the all time great people to throw a few down with. I had the pleasure a few times. He was an instant friend and confidant - completely open, nothing held back.

It is free. Just create a member name and password.

Jim might need a warning for goading.

COLD!

Cleaning my chair at this moment.

It was a great pleasure to spend some time with you guys too. It is always fun to see how "board personalities" translate into human beings. Don't get out of Whitehall much, but you can count on our attendance at future gigs. PS for Jim; the Willis Jackson/Pat Martino date I mentioned was issued as Single Action.

That's the one.

Wasn't Girth Hardwood in the classic "Scrubbing Bubbles"?

If you can't find a low milage Pinto, I suggest a Corvair.

I'm afraid I won't post these for copyright reasons. They belong to Nils Winther. Come to my place and I'll show 'em to you.

Rex Route 1 here.

Progression, an alternate of Tautology, is missing from the Prestige date. Maybe others, but this jumped out at me.

As I said in the other thread, I have two 8x10s of Hank taken at this date. His hair is gray, but he does not look like a "broken man" in those shots. I did some work for SteepleChase at the time (set up and ran their US office). I think this was just an unfortunate choice of photos for the cd package.

Please tell us your middle name is Richard.

Yeah, but they ain't Wombles. Remember you're a Womble.
