I won that lp on ebay then it got lost in the mail. Further down the road, I managed to pick it up. I didnt dig it at first, but then I actually got the point of it. I like the classical, followed by a blues piece, which is the pattern for the album. The album spotlights Kay's delicate percussion talents.

Samples on your website. I know its not a lot, but from what I heard, the tribute to Jimmy Smith, I believe. I t was pretty nice.

I just heard Organissimo for the first time. I didnt know where else to say this but, you guys swing! And Good luck!

boy thats a Rick Kick!

I'll second that. Concorde too.

If heaven has a sound, it sounds like a marimba!

What you said Chuck was above my head so I dont even know what it meant.

: LOL, I thought I didnt have to go to college.

I dont know. I get what you're saying and you are dead on, but as whole, they thought and played as one. But if you're saying that when they were all on their own, they let loose and swang better, yep you got your arguement right there. MJQ was John Lewis's vehicle. The others went along with it for 40 years. I would think you would want to go on your own. BUt they did in 1975 and they had solo albums, so...

They have a lot of "un necessary" albums for lack of a better term. They got about 15 essentials, and the rest are all just nice listens, though some are recorded with strings, and the strings end up hogging the spotlight and it becomes the "so and so" orchestra with The Modern Jazz Quartet. I have been dissapointed over the years, (the few years) with albums like those, but they are growing on me, not fast though.

Who hasn't seen that album cover. I dont own it, but I;ve seen it, whats the big surprise?

It's just so nostalgic to me. Its been in my family since the very beginning, and it brings back warm memories.

Surprisingly, I haven't heard The MJQ mentioned a lot here. Any fans out there. About five summers ago, I was really into them, and played nothing but MJQ all summer. I got some footaged of them playing a lot of places. Sometimes it gets alittle too subtle for me, but I love them, especially the Prestige and early Atlantic periods.

Lost In Space ran for three seasons, for clarification. 1965- 1968. Something LIS had was in the ship everybody fell on the same angle, when ever the ship veered off course, as opposed to Star Trek where they never really got which way they were supposed to all fall together when a crash of the ship happened.

I love your uncle just as much! Curry was a very talented marimbaist and drummer.

Yeah, you gotta listen to that in a dark room late at night. It's the perfect mileu.

I both consider them the two best hard bop trumpeters, considering there ain't some dude in his basement who is a little shy, and very gifted I might add.

Ask the person who said it first.

Oh guys you're missing the point. Lost In Space is good mainly because its so un-intentionally funny! It's called 1960's television.

I can sing those solos one So What and Freddie F. in my sleep. Probaly the first and only, (with a few Paul Desmond and Dave Brubeck exceptions) solo I memorized.

I'll never forget Morgan's solo on Moanin'. My dad loved that solo (not really into jazz) Without knowing who it was he said that was a good solo. I think he meant his technique. He likes very sharp trumpet playing.

It all happens in New York!

Sorry, didnt think it was that close in complexity to rocket science. Which good musicians took the standard, rock/pop.
