That one I well remember. I never owned it. Ed Dipple used to lend me his copy.

Reading this reminds me of this wonderful movie: In the unlikely event you haven't seen it, watch it now! I mean, how many movies star Chano Pozo?

There's often a humorous side to quoting in jazz solos. Just think of Bird's "Country Gardens" codas. A guy who knew nothing about jazz and just couldn't get it told me that he'd been to Ronnie Scott's where he'd been puzzled by people laughing every so often while musicians were playing. Why was that? he asked me. Quotes I guess.

Talking of which, there are other pitfalls! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Charles_Thompson,_1st_Baronet

One word of warning about this guy. Careful when checking him on Google or Wikipedia. You're likely to end up with the British Royal Family!

Jazzwax's piece today on Earle Spencer brought a new one to my ears that's certainly worth hearing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earle_Spencer https://www.jazzwax.com/

Keep flippin'!

Now playing:

Track 1: "In My Solitude" Track 2: "Dinah" Track 3: Monk's "Ask Me Now" Track 4: Ben Webster Track 5: Rollins composition? Track 6: Joe Lovano? Track 7: Joe Henderson Track 8: Dave Brubeck's "In Your Own Sweet Way" played by Jerry Bergonzi.

A nice selection.
