if nobody buys this, btw, it proves my point that throughout the jazz community there is a deep-seated hostility toward Brubeck based on the fact that nobody really likes his piano playing - on the other hand, if it is bought IMMEDIATELY it will cause me to doubt my long-term dislike of his playing, and prove that it is really the result of a deep-seated hostility toward my father - I LEAVE IT TO YOU, THE JAZZ COMMUNITY, TO DECIDE! MY FATE AND THE FATE OF THE ENTIRE BRUBECK FAMILY (DARIUS, FLO, CHLOE, WALLY, AND ALL THE REST) IS IN YOUR HANDS

rare 1952 trio 10 inch record that I'm getting rid of (uh...sorry, meant to say, offering on the vintage market) - perfect for the Antiques Road Show - impress your friends at parties - the record itself plays well, is VG+, I would say - rare, and for good reason - $20 plus shipping conus, my paypal is alowe5@maine.rr.com

I think he was the host - and that I am remembering McMahon from another show

Chris, isn't that the show with Ed MCMahon? And didn't it have the word "hunch" in it? Something like that? Play Your Hunch?

I see the difference in other ways, though I agree with Larry as far as it goes - trouble is, however, that I haven't listened to said performances in a long time, so my memory is rusty - I actually find early Cannonball (the Savoys) lacking not in the kind of big harmonic skips that Coltrane practiced, but in some basic bebop chromaticism and even the more typical bebop substitiutions (as in the 2 minor seven and the domonant minor seventh)-lotsa notes but a lack of the kind of oblique intervals that beboppers favored (eg the 13th as opposed to the 6th - same note, different feeling) - and I always though that this was what Miles was referring to - but now I'm not sure -

truthfully, I lost interest in the Olympics in about 742 B.C. - once they started doing product placement in the decathalon, they just lost me-

Cannonball's evolution is interesting - there's some spot on quotes by Miles about how, early in his playing in NYC, Cannonball swung but was harmonically bland - and we can hear a bit of this in the Savoy recordings, I think; by the time of Something Else he was taking Miles advice about chord substitutions quite seriously, if not (in the big big picture) as seriously as Coltrane - I like Dancing in the Dark but, true, it reflects a different path than the rest of that album -

one of the most important recordings of the 1950s, IMHO - and rarely noted, to my great surprise, is that it's an obvious warmup for Kind of Blue - as a matter of fact I prefer it to Kind of Blue -

maybe 'cause he doesn't have a phone -

"He brought his A game. " well, thank goodness he didn't bring his band -

funny about Vanguard, where,as you mentioned, David worked - because I remember we were having a very long talk about classic recordings and the rooms they were recorded in - and we both happened to share a dislike for some of the 1950s Vanguards, which were recorded in a room that was just a little bit too reverberant - to this day I find some of those hard to listen to - thanks, Jim for that article; though I lost touch with David, I always remembered him as one of the truly great guys to work with -

looks like he recorded it with Lois Deppe's band -

re-Giuffre - strangely enough I went to hear Giuffre at Jimmy Weston's in NYC, maybe some time around 1974-75; he played tenor with the house rhythm section, which was very "trad" sounding" and basically just did a Prez the whole time - I think Herb Hall was playing clarinet, but other than that I cannot remember who was in the band -

Larry - is there a Hines recording of Congaine?

I once spent a day with her -

down to about 835 copies -

gotta have out-of-phase pickups, blended with a volume control on guitar -

pm sent on News for Lulu -

I beat 2 out of three tickets up here in Bohunkus - cops ain't no match for a pissed-off Jew -

bumping for the janitorial staff -

Berigan, we are in agreement on one thing in life: Bunny is my favorite swing trumpeter; don't know if you've ever heard his solo on Mildred Bailey's Willow Tree, but it is one of the most stunning things on record -

would love to see Bley; I'm supposed to video an interview with him - also would be great to ambush Braxton, who's not returning my emails-

composition is China Boy, I believe - or am I wrong?

I hope you guys don't expect a commission -

mine is -4
