I heard it was harmonica - but Monk was already using Little Walter -

I use nothing but Tayo Yudens - great discs -

Jim - when you mention problems with condensors does this apply to all instruments or just vibes? I mention this because I recently did a session at Systems 2 in Brooklyn (engineer was Rich Lamb) at which he used a Neumann U 87 on both my alto and guitar, and I was absolutely thrilled with how natural the sound was on both instruments -

well, ok, if you pay for the apartment, but no sex - I'm not that kind of a girl -

actually I think I may have misunderstood you - of all the food I've tried, cooked spaghetti makes the best strings for a jazz violin -

and that Mr. Haney sure can scat -

sorry - everything's gone -

"hey anyone out there has got any food recommendations for jazz strings material?" personally Ilike to eat a burger while listening to jazz violin - others I know prefer vegetarian fare, but I would stay away from the soy dogs, as one double-stop and you will likely regurgitate -

Mike actually did a session I recorded there with Enja about 15 years ago - this time we had Rich Lamb who was terrific -

crap - I thought we were talkng about Eddie Albert - I mean, the way he phrases that Green Acres theme, man, it swings -

we did a trio session for my upcoming CD - me on alto, Randy, and Scott Robinson on contra-bass clarinet - we did two tunes I'd written, one based on the changes to I'm Coming Virginia, the other on the changes to Yardbird Suite. It was quick and smooth (always easier not to use a drummer - no setup time), Scott played the bass lines. Every time I play with Randy he comes up with great stuff, lots of variation and great ideas. I was a little nervous, as I haven't recorded in some 15 years, and I've been playing alto only about a month (having switched from tenor), but it was a terrific studio (Systems 2 in Brooklyn) and we did it like the old days - in a circle, no isolation, essentially "live." (I also recorded three tunes with Matt Shipp at the same session, 2 of him solo on pieces I'd weitten, a third in a duo with me on guitar).

yes - I no longer buy anything, as I can read about all of it here -

what? You didn't quote me? well, ok, than here's one you can use on the next show: "I like eggs." Let Sangrey top that -

actually, it's a double trick because he played, finally, both -

the re-mastering was done by some butt-head engineer at Rhino, who were handling this for Collectables - what you heer are digital artificats from the use of digital hiss-reduction - it's particulrly bad on the Bob Brookmeyer, the Max Roach (with Hasaan) and the Dick Katz - disgustingly bad work -

I do like eggs... me a wise guy? Dolphy was well liked, though, amusingly, the several times I tried to get something out of Jaki Byard about him ("Jaki, there's very little on Dolphy - what was he like?") he just kept saying, "he was a nut."

glad to see the piece on Randy - I just did a session with him in NYC about two weeks ago - incredible musician, one of the most creative players I have ever worked with (not to mention that he's a great person as well) ; I had a long conversation with him just two days ago in which he discussed his frustration at virtually never working in New York; he spends a lot of time on the road -

you can say that again -

yes - I can't forget her her album of greatestits -

you're thinking of Trumbauer - Tesch was a wild man on clarinet and an early influence on Benny Goodman -
