  1. Did Chico ever record with vibes? That would of been a nice addition to his quintet. I'm finding it hard to find vibraphonists, that didnt play staight ahead jazz.
  2. Ever hear of a cat called Duke Ellington? Check out his recordings from, say, the 1920s to the 1970s and you'll hear a LOT of Hodges, on the tunes that made his reputation as just about the best alto player this side of Charlie Parker. (There are those that prefer Hodges to Parker, and I can't blame them.) Mulligan dug Ellington, too. ← This recording was one of the first real jazz disks I heard, which was a while ago according to the span of my life so far. I knew of Duke Ellington before Hodges, but when I frist got into jazz full time, I was more into 50's and 60's bop. It took me a while to learn some things about Ellington and Basie.
  3. I love his brushwork and bass drum accents on Mulligan's Walking Shoes.
  4. Okay, so I'm reading the paper, and where they list concert dates, Jay Black and the Americans are playing. On the bottom, it says, "for mature audiences only!" What the hell?? What can these guys be doing besides sucking that makes them, "for mature audiences only?
  5. I heard one of his new songs on some sampler. I believe the tune was entitled Outrageous. IDK, didnt seem that musical, but I heard he's playing great, so I'm looking for some of his newer releases.
  6. The album in my avatar is great! Desmond and Mulligan do Line for Lyons quite swell!
  7. Mulligan, my favorite saxophonist. He's here with Johhny Hodges. Never really knew about him before this disk, which I learned of quite a while ago. This album has one of my favorite songs of ALL TIME, "18 Carrots for a Rabbit." Man that thing swings! Plus more fantastic material! 5 stars!
  8. I'm amazed that so many people still don't know about these, but I guess it's because they haven't been released on CD individually in the US. ← Damn, those are the dirtiest JRVG mini-LP covers that I've ever seen! ← Two drummers.... Two guitarists.!!!!! Wow! How does that sound?!?! As the wise man once said, "I gotta get me one of those!"
  9. Was pretty cool. Bru was pretty funny too, as well as Bobby. Good material, bought the new cd. It was okay.
  10. This happens on numerous occations. It doesn't seem to annoy me that much.
  11. Great drummer. I liked his first quintet, which produced Spectacular in 1955, w/ Jim Hall. Gongs East was alright, but kind of too subtle for my liking. You like? I bought an album called A Different Journey by his third quintet I believe, with Charles Loyd. Pretty darn good. And some of his later stuff was kind of cool. Whic period do you prefer?
  12. Going tomorrow. Hope's good.
  13. HOw do we know you didn't already play it?
  14. yeah, well I broke Donald Byrd and Pepper Adams' Royal Flush. But havent got a replacement. Figure I should just get the Mosaic.
  15. IF it's as good as Willie Wonka and the Chocolate factory, than this must suck! That movie was pitiful.
  16. TREMENDOUS, the cd is fabulous! (just on hearing some samples)
  17. Still waiting for Jim to send me that friggen Boogolo Sisters cd! '
  18. What hair style were they talking about? The mohawk?

    Well now, they have everything. But back then, maybe it's custom. The ones I'm using are custom. I was using standard yarn wrapped mallets, but i stripped it, because it was getting real bad. I was playing with bald headed sticks, but i took a rag and wrapped it around the head. It's pretty large.
  20. Heard much of Boogolo Sisters, and thought it was one of the greatest albums of all time. Havent heard any trace of This Is The PLace, but if it's better, it must be one helluva album!
  21. Mr. Burton has got some of the least votes?
  22. Yep, did more of a search. AA, pretty lame!
  23. HEY....I thought you were only 16 now??? You listened to it when you were 6??? m- ←
