Fred is dead -

ok - I'll send him several clicks and pops lifted from the Stash version - as well as all high frequencies retrieved from the left-over Storyville takes -

and just for an udpate - this is not Richard Reich, or Sam Reich - it's Howard Reich - otherwise known as the Third Reich -

guys, don't you remember? Reich is an idiot. He writes from the bizarro world - whatever he writes, just assume the oppposite is true -

wait...now I gotta think - oh crap, it's sold! just kidding - the sale will go on - their are nice liners on the Storyville, but if you listen to the Stash, it has a bit more "presence" - but the Storyville is fine. I don't really have the energy for it, but I might try an A/B with the Stash/Storyville, first using my Cedar on the Stash - might be interesting - might not...

12:57 - daddy needs a new pair of shoes - momma need an operation -

I didn't even know he was sick -

Hank Jone solo on Savoy - Professor Longhair on Atlantic - Fess Manetta, ca. 1957 - Jelly Roll on Commodore (reissue) - Pete Gray Plays the Treble Clef -

hey it's 12:16 and this thing ain't sold yet - I thought you guys loved it - no annoying tics and pops, less annoying high frequencies - come on guys, put your money where your ears are -

maybe mention his best album - solo on Savoy -

Just bought this - if you read my previous post on that other thread you know it's good, but not as good sounding as my original Stash CD - so am selling. Just opened it yesterday, played it once. $35 shipped. Email me at: alowe@maine.rr.com. Paypal or money order or check (my paypal address is ammusic@maine.rr.com) - I'll be out of the house until this afternoon, so will check emails when I get home. If there's a bunch, first received will get the set - thanks!

and to add to my previous statement about Reich - well, you can probably find some truth in a Donald Rumsfeld speech, but it doesn't mean you should take it seriously. Let's not give Reich any of our money - stick to the Lomax book and Phil Pastras's book or get the Library of Congress recordings and you'll have a better picture of Jelly Roll than a book as messy as Reich's - also the Bill Russell scrapbook -

well, let's remember - Larry has published in many places, just not in book form - so the problem is ours and not his. At any rate, his book on the Original Creole Band is out on Oxford University Press -

ask him about the Marilyn Monroe incident - as nobody believed me when I re-told it -

with all due respect to Storyville, which has done a nice thing by bringing this out...well, I just got it in the mail and, honestly, the original Stash CD I have is much better sounding - they have, it is true, done some nice de-crackling, but also some unfortunate de-hissing, which is destructive - listen to the bass solo on Sepia Panorma, about 25 seconds in on disc two and you will hear the problem - it's somewhat compressed, the bass presence is largely lost from the original unprocessed Jack Towers transfer. You have to get by some of the noise in the original to appreciate this - but the original has so much ORCHESTRA, so many sweet highs - man, I am disappointed - this one's going out for sale if anyone is interested -

I love his action movies, but he's no Steven Sagal -

one of the reasons I prize that record so much is the long solo by Ray Nance on Suite Thursday - Nance is my absolutely favorite jazz violinist - I love his sound -

I ain't Brownie, but that is my favorite "live" Duke - particularly Rockin in Rhythm and Suite Thursday -

how about circumcision accompanied by bagpipes (I hear you get to keep the tips)?

think bagpipes -

if you are reading the Reich bio, throw it away - in the words of Larry Gushee (probably the foremost authority on early jazz in the world) that book is " a despicable piece of shit." It is full of inaccuracies and poor judgement - for example, early in the book Reich describes going to William Russell's house - as Larry has told me, the house he describes is NOT Russell's - how can you trust a book that makes this kind of error? Reich is doctrinaire and intent on making the facts fit his pre-assumptions -

yes, Schwarz when into the family business and became a moil -

my favorite Johnny Coles is with Gil Evans -

someone must buy this - I order you -

and don't forget harmonicas -
