  1. Howzabout a Blues for Lou? Great Mighty Greeaze Trio session! I'll put that up for ya! Thanks Al, I'll take it. I'll send you a PM. Got it, and it'll go out this weekend! Enjoy! Does this mean I have a credit in my account, a disc to be named later from anyone?

  3. Just got past the articles on Hank Mobley and Philly Joe Jones. Interesting that the article about “the Hankenstein” would be back-to-back with the article on Philly, as they made me dig out my CDR of the No Room for Squares session (I should explain that the CDR was taken from my copies of the CD of the same name, as well as the tracks from Straight No Filter, so as to have the whole session in one place). I’ve always dug the two separately: Mobley for his plain beauty (as Larry put it more eloquently than my memory of it); and Philly for the Rice Krispy" sound he got (lots of snap, crackle, and pop! HA!); but I forgot what a potent team they were together! (And on this particular session, the addition of Andrew Hill is nothing short of a stroke of genius. My CDR also includes the session from 3/7/63 that produced a good chunk of The Turnaround, also with Philly Joe on hand). Forgive my errant memory, as I don’t have the book in front of me, but iirc, Larry writes about Philly’s way of emphasizing the snare drum more than the cymbal. It’s for this reason that I really dig Philly’s accompaniment of mid-size/big bands; he sounds like an orchestra all by himself! Gots to check out more recordings with Hank and Philly Joe. Gots to get more Philly Joe in my collection, that’s for sure!
  4. Done! Just PM your address to me and it'll go out this weekend!
  5. It's good music, y'all; I'm tellin' ya!!! Heck, for those in the States that want it, drop me a PM and I'll getcha taken care of!
  6. Just a note that I've been insanely swamped the last few weeks, and will post my guesses this weekend (hopefully)!
  7. Hey, I'd LOVE that!!! I'll PM my address shortly! Here's my offering: Paul Gonsalves Meets Earl Hines (Black Lion) shipped to tjobbe
  8. "Ships from Oregon"??????
  9. As well as an insult to the game.....which is what Bonds is, now!
  10. A-frickin'-men! Him and Canseco both.
  11. Well.......... YOU know what I meant! And I just realized that I misspelled "heilige!!!!!" SHEESH!!!! Man, I better watch out, my birthday's in a week or so!
  12. Helige sheist!!!! (Actually, I thought about that this morning in the shower! Mehr bier, herr ober! JETZT!!!!)
  13. Wellllll....... it's been about 18 years since I took a German class, but I think I said, "Happy birthday, my friend, and Tjader RULES!!!" (Hey, at least I didn't call myself a jelly donut! )
  14. Sweet! Gonna listen tomorrow at work!
  15. What time does the show generally get posted to the Archive? I'm jonesin' somethin' fierce!
  16. I don’t know about any of y’all, but BMG seems to be going thru a real dry spell as of late. At least 70% of the “What’s New” is smooth jazz, lite-blues, and big-bland singers (Norah Jones, Jane Monheit, etc). Bleah!!!!
  17. Wow.... would never have guessed he'd go out like this....
  18. Dialogue!!! Sam Rivers, baby!!! But I am eagerly awaiting the Oblique RVG!
  19. Froehliche weihnachten mein freund, und Tjader uber alles!!!
  20. On the Impressions set, RVG is only credited with the first three tracks (same as on the VME). The last two--"No Blues" and "If You Could See Me Now"--are reported as being actual Half Note recordings.

    Heckyeah it should!!!
  23. If I'm awake, I'm listening. If I'm not, I'll be listening on Monday! And if recent shows are any indication, I'd better start saving up now for that Mosaic!
  24. Wow, now I'm even more glad I stuck with the old comp.
  25. Speaking of Foghorn Leghorn, I always liked what he once said about Miss Prissy: “That gal’s like a highway between Fort Worth and Dallas: no curves!” How’d they know? B-)
