HAVE A HAPPY, GOOD BUDDY!!!

Kenny has always been numero uno in my book.

I remember when this came out - GRP papered the town with promo copies, but in spite of the list of names who appeared on the CD, it was pretty obvious that the kid (who was 14 years old) could barely play. I often wondered if he had connections at the label. Why else would they have spent all this money hiring all these great musicians and promoting this dud? I asked Kenny Washington why he had agreed to play on the date, and he said that he regretted doing it.

Uh, gosh, people. Thanxalot!!!

Mama Cass died of a heart attack, directly linked to her obesity, from all reports. Is there any evidence that drugs (or the fabled ham sandwich) were involved?

That's the story I've heard, but the blame probably falls on Mingus, who I believe never paid the bill.

The original recording is not of professional quality. It was taped by UCLA students on, I suspect, relatively modest equipment. The 1980's reissue was remastered by Jack Towers, one of the best in the business at the time. I suspect Jack did the best with what he had. My point is, even if there were a master tape, this thing isn't going to ever sound great.

It's nice to have access again! I've also been jonesin' all week. I'd like to second the request for a larger font. I kinda liked the peach, but I can get used to this!

Lead singer of the Tokens was Jay Siegel.

I love Joe Mooney. Several years ago, there was nothing by him available, but with the reissue of the Atlantic and Columbia LP's, and two very fine sets on Hep which contain all the Decca sides plus a number of rarities, just about everything recorded by this great and underappreciated talent is currently avaiable, as it should be!

I got caught up in the Backgammon craze in the 1970's, and became a reasonably skilled player. Even read a couple of books about Backgammon strategies. As I became separated from my usual gang of players, I eventually lost interest, and hardly played at all for 20 years. About 7 years ago, my brother (who lives across the country) and I began playing on line, and have become so totally addicted that we play twice a week for about 90 minutes a session. At a buck a point, I owe him about 450 bucks right now!

I played a game called Screw Your Neighbor back in the late 60's. It was a variation of Crazy Eights, with extra added powers added to certain cards. As in Crazy Eights, the objective was to "go out" (get rid of your cards), but it was allowed to gang up on a player that was getting ready to go out. Great fun for stoned hippies!

I have to say I like them all. The first one I ever owned was "Not Really the Blues", so it may be my favorite, but not by much. It's great to hear these boppers stretch out.

No doubt booted right off the Mosaic set!

This is a nice record - original pressings are pretty rare. Alto player Gabe Baltazar played with Stan Kenton in the early 1960's.

17 out of 20 for me. Some of them were pretty obvious, others I couldn't tell.

AMEN!!

My favorite Horace albums are "Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers" which really defines hard bop, and "Doin' the Thing at the Village Gate", a stellar live album, which I ran out and bought after seeing Horace live for the first time at the Jazz Workshop in 1965. Also partial to "Silver's Serenade" and "The Stylings of Silver."

If I remember correctly, the Jazzland edition (which is how I first heard it as well) was retitled "Shadow Waltz". I replaced it with the Japanese edition in the late 70's. Also have the session on the Riverside/Contemporary Rollins box that Fantasy issued a few years ago. This is one of my favorite Sonny albums, especially the extended title track.
