I think Jackie McClean sounded like Bird in his very early years. But he grew into his own man which makes me regret voting for him.

It's an allright Christmas album btw. I think he was a good pianist, i don't know how he is that much worse than Garland, but I guess you have many reasons for thinking this. He was in the Ray Charles school of piano, IMO.

Richie kamuca, richie!

I do too, it's just the ones where Red Holt just does rim shots, with a latin feel, like A Hard days Night, and Day Tripper. Carmen is my favorite Lewis Trio arrangement.

What are your opinions on the Ramsey Lewis Trio, Ramsey Lewis: piano Eldee Young: bass Red Holt: drums I like their early stuff, but the late stuff where its all bossa novas under Beatles' songs, just bugs me. The album Pot Luck was pretty good. The In Crowd album was great, it's just the albums after the big hit that I dont like, but there werent that many, just the ones like Hang On Ramsey. What do you guys think??

Neither have I, but because I dont own it. I have borrowed it a long time ago, and remember it was a damned good record.

exactly! "Uh lemme throw on some contemporary pop while I clean my house, and never put on the cd again." Which is how most of America listens to music. I gues...

I used to be into the Power Rangers when I was little. Those were the days. I was only allowed to watch the show, not get any of the stuff.

It's over 2 years old, is it so bad that a new fresh thread has been started?

Barney's Christmas sounds like a killa.

Looking foward to Gabor Szabo.

nothing

Good drummer. He was on a lot of those early quartet recordings, probaly The Duke and Your Own Sweat Way.

Yeah I dont think it was as popular at that time to do your own session as it is now.

Sounds cool!

I can never get that serious.

Go Get Your Easter Bonnet!

Yeah, nice intro by Jimmy Cobb. And nice pictures.

I still have to go with there not being enough time. I don't think doing sessions on your own was that big at that time, for musicians, who didn't lead big bands.

drummer too? That's awesome.

You mean "AUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!" Yeah I thought you were getting a rub down, and were expressing the feelings. just kididng, im sorry. You'll get over it. I remember when I lost 75 bucks. Damn that was a killer.

You have to, to be a good jazz drummer, imo.

Brubeck rules. What can I say.

This is just outrageous. A grand for a record...
