Raking leaves is the price we pay for living amongst trees. I love the big maple in front of my house, it provides shade and a little privacy, and I resign myself to spending a couple of hours every year picking up after it. I wait until they've all come down before I rake 'em up. It's a small price to pay, and it boggles my mind that there are people who would actually CUT DOWN a tree, and sacrifice the beauty it provides, just so their yards would look a little neater. I grew up in a neighborhood that was a new development when my folks bought their house, so there were no trees when we first moved there. My dad planted a number of saplings around the house that took decades to mature. When I look at old pictures that were taken during those years, I'm struck by how barren the neighborhood looked back then! I love driving down an old street with lots of trees! Hate the leaf blowers! Pick 'em up and take 'em away!

Male barber - same guy for many years. Back when I had hair, which was thin & stringy, it was easy to screw up, so I'd be loyal to anyone who could get it right. Now that I'm bald, it's a quick 5-10 minutes and I'm outta there!

Yes, but "Jazz in a Stable" is not a big band album. "Detour Ahead" is one of the songs on "The Band and I", not an LP in its own right, unless TBAI was reissued under that title at some point.

Five albums? I know of three: Life Is a Many Splendored Gig Band In Boston The Band and I (w/ Irene Kral) What are the other two?

A bold pick. A good pick. ← Jonah Jones was a fine trumpet player with a solid pedigree as a veteran of great swing bands led by Stuff Smith and Cab Calloway, to name two. In the late 1950's he had a hit album entitled "Muted Jazz" that took off, and he milked the formula for years to come, and sold a whole lot of records. Although he made a string of forgettable formulaic records, I don't think he fits the spirit of this thread. At the end of his career, when the gravy train had finally stopped, he made a solid mainstream album for Chiaroscuro that showed that he still had the goods. My 2 cents

Mine came today. Will begin listening tomorrow.

It bears repeating that this was planned for release, so Blue Note was satisfied with the date. Parker's death, and possibly poor sales of the previous release, may have been the factors that cancelled the release. It's easy for many to assume that unreleased material is not up to snuff, but we have to remember that Blue Note was a small company, and couldn't afford many releases that didn't turn a profit. There are numerous sessions that are of a very high caliber, but which weren't released strictly for commercial reasons. Parker's music may have not been at sufficient a creative level to satisfy all the critics (he has been dismissed on more than one occasion as an R&B player), but it is good strong blowing, and I love it.

Let's see, does this mean musicians who have way more recordings than their talent deserves? Oscar Peterson

Musically, it is definitely worth it. Monetary? Couldn't say.

I agree - she seems so pleased with herself. Do think she's a looker though.
