  3. Never. I've got to pull out the Spellman book. If it happened, I'd expect it to be mentioned there.

  5. I saw Jackie twice. The first time, in the mid 1980's, he was performing with a band led by his son Rene. I wasn't particularly taken with the band, which included an elaborately costumed flamboyant African percussionist, but Jackie's playing was very intense, pinned me to the wall with every solo. For my money, Jackie was head and shoulders above everyone else on stage that night. I saw him again in 1992, this time fronting a quartet that included Hotep Idris Galeta (piano), Nat Reeves (bass), and Eric McPherson (drums), if I remember correctly. Jackie's playing was stellar, once again, but the rhythm section was, at best, competent. I've also heard the stories about Jackie's price being too high in the later years, but it's possible that he was occupied with his teaching gig and didn't really need the money, and therefore held out for the choicest gigs. It is a shame, I really wish he had come around more. I'd have been there!

  7. Mine arrived yesterday. Will begin listening on my morning commute, starting in about 1/2 hour!
  8. The cop may have screwed up - but we have no way of knowing whether or not the accident would have happened if the driver were sober. The mitigating circumstances are obviously why the driver wasn't charged with a more serious crime. He may feel that he has been unfairly branded a cop-killer, but the blood alcohol level trumps any other considerations, in my opinion.
  9. Only by playing on the public's hatred of the police. I'm appalled that the court would even be willing to listen to this case, but it's also entirely possible that the case will be tossed out, in which case the moron and his attorney ought to be fined for abuse of the court system.

  18. Thanks for a fine albeit difficult set, Brownie! I'm not feeling so bad that I only got a couple, since most of the musicians were unfamilar to me.

  21. I bought it at the time, was immediately unhappy with it. Dumped it pretty quickly, and to this day it is the only hole in my Monk collection.

  24. Most of the reference books give his dob as May 17, 1932, but I've heard from more than one source that the real year is 1931, and that for some reason he had shaved a year off long ago.
  25. Just goes to show that you can "prove" anything on the internet.
