so far I give him a B- but I have not hit the mulitple choice section yet -

also, he talks about Ansermet bringing Stravinsky some Morton records in 1916 - interesting, as Jelly Roll did not record until 1923 -

just reading the article now - another problem is that he does not mention that Armstrong's ability to record clearly had as much to do with the development of the elctrical process as anything else - and he does not distinguish between acoustic/vs electric recording - also he does not mention the banjo, which recorded well acoustically and so was frequently used -

maybe so, but I've never seen a bra with his name on it -

for the HInes, get first the 1920s solos stuff - amazing - and than try somethin like Spontaneous Explorations or any of the BlackLion CDs -

I like the Quine stuff, but if I had a choice I would get the two "live" albums released on Mercury - still mediocre sound, but better sonics than the Quine - I agree about Reed - his early stuff is so important and unique, but his later output is embarrassing -

Just as an intersting side note, there is a Howling Wolf recording from Memphis for whom the pianist is listed as "undentified," but I'm willing to bet it's Newborne - there's a bebop intro, and then - right into the down home blues (I'll have to dig it out and give you title info) -

yes, depending on how he did it, it may be very easy to edit out his voice - I would wonder, however, who owns the rights to this as it was an unaccepted demo - may have to be cleared with all VU members who are on it -

I also have the Lowe's friendly Hemorrhoid Cream - but it's on backorder -

...and they are: Solo Piano There Will be Some Changs Made - Nate - email me - I'd be happy to make some CDR dubs of these - Jaki was really a great guy but suffered from severe depression late in life late due to his wife's death from cancer -

Jaki was drinking too much in those days, sad to say - there are two early solo albums on Prestige that have never been reissued but that are among the glories of the age. Will report back with exact titles -

actually, on my website you can order "Al's stay-free maxi pads" embroidered with my name - let the boyfriend deal with that one -

or maybe an autographed photo of ARICEFFRON

well, howdy doo, I just figured it out - they oughta give me a medal - or at least a transcription of Ron's posts -

well, thanks Ron - but here's my problem - I can only seem to search for other members posts through threads, not as posts -

hey - that works - but can I search on it for posts by other members?

I'll stay outta this one -

well, that film the Green Berets was pretty terrible - wait, no that's the other Duke -

I go to search - by user name - allenlowe - looking for posts - and it's very arbitrary. It often skips many posts I've done -

I've been kicked off two other forums - this is the last one that'll have me -

well, as I've said before, I won't post with any group that would have me as a member -

ben there, done that - after all, it's only underwear -

don't know if this has already been addressed, but since the format change the search function, for me, is a problem - I often try to locate my own posts to see if there's been a response - and the search fnction misses and/or skips many. Is this just me?

glad somebody mentioned Jaki Byard - but you gotta get the Prestige LPS, which have not been reissued on CD - they are the absolute height of solo piano. The best of the last 50 years.

well, he's no Oscar Peterson... thank goodness. Brilliant pianist, if prone to glibness. I like his later albums much better, when he settled in.
