or Sonny Liston -

or Sonny Corleone -

might be Sonny Williams -

or maybe Mussolini's kid -

I was thinking Eddy Duchin -

Promise her anything - except Kalamazoo -

no one has mentioned his writing - there are two jazz history books he wrote, Jazz and Jazz II - the first is really one of the best books written on early jazz - if you don't own it, try to find it somewhere - brilliant and insightful, much better, IMHO, than Schuller -

you should also pick up his 1960s Smithsonians -

wait'll you hear side 3 -

good job, no fair, you're a pianist - funny thing is I knew both those tunes for years before Dick Katz pointed that out to me - they're so different - and anyway, Bud Powell wrote Parisian Thoroughfare and he was tight with Monk, so it works out ok -

a version of Laura to die for: on Eric Dolphy in Europe (it's a Prestige; one fo the first records I ever owned) - I bought it in Chicago, 1968, as a matter of fact -

ahh, you just topped me - I give up my crown - allright kids, answer the BIG question - what chord changes is "Parisian Thoroughfare" based on?

sounds like a different place - he was at Jimmy's in the early to mid-1970s -

sure, if more hours with Mary was his idea of a good time -

well, the true measure of hipness here would be to come up with a Monk song nobody else ever heard of - since there is no such thing I will become the hippest person ever by saying Just You Just Me from the standards album - Monk plays a cool little riff to the chords, in unison with Pettiford, as I recall - damn, I'm so cool it should be illegal in 14 states - along with sodomy, sex with car accident victims*, and dancing with a mailman- *Lenny Bruce reference; damn that's hip

ah, all they have to do is buy one of those little Alesis reverb units - $89.95 and they can build all they want -

"i actually remember when he played solo piano in the window of a bar in the theatre district in the 60's" that was the Jimmy's gig, 52nd street, near CBS - it was a bar owned by a politico in NYC named Jimmy Aurelio (I think he worked for Lindsay, unsure) - Wilbur Little was on bass, and we used to go in, get a coke, and sit for 2 hours, as the bartenders didn't care - Barry also told me it was the only gig he ever worked for which he was able to collect unemployment insurance afterwards, as he was actually on salary -

let me add that I have two more sets coming in the end of this week - promos but absolute mint - $125 each plus shipping; intergalactic transport extra -

thanks, it works nicely (especially when I attribute it to Nat Hentoff) - really, just kidding -

thanks, good to know - will start looking around -

Chris - I have actually found that the cheapest 3 chip camera shoots video that is essentially broadcast quality, the technology is surprising good - as for sound, an issue, yes, though, once again, I have found that a good external mike or an adaptor (which I have) can produce surprisinlgy good sound - in the multitrack recording world these days the essential technology is the same, what you pay for are special feaures, of which I know little when it comes to cams, though I don;t know if it is the same situation - would like to spend about $500 - will have to do a bit of on-line research -

what, no video-ing around here?

Chuck's right - hey, even I boinked Nico; fortunately I didn't wake up until she was satisfied - crazy Nazi babes - told me I either took care of business or went to the showers -

truth is, the IAJE is like too many arts organizations (there's a few in Portland where I live) - just looking to administrate grants to get grants to get grants to get jobs to get themselves employed - no commitment to the art form, just to their friends - this happens over and over again -
