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.

just to note, like a lot of people I've not always been a big fan of revivalist music - the sessions Chris produced (and I have nearly all) represent the music in an utterly unselfconscious state, meaning that the musuicians play great, play it as the music they know and love, not as museum pieces or for tourist traps. It is VERY deep stuff. Chris, I hadn't realized you did all those sessions - all I can say is thanks!

the pope smokes dope - I know this to be true -
