Yeeeaaaahhhhhh!!!!

Edit: Clinton beat me to the "animated" gag! Maybe you guys could reprise the Boogaloo Sisters cover, with James T. Cat as the bartender! My song nomination: Grant Green's "Idle Moments" I think you guys could do a sweet version of this, maybe at a slightly faster tempo!

It's like watching the beginning to a Looney Tune or a Merrie Melodie!

AfricaBrass is da MAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!

Thanks!

Happy birthday, and here's hoping you get to choose another AOW soon!

Maybe cuz it ain't greeeeeeeeeeeazy enough!

This could be the best AOW ever!!! I can't wait for this one to start up!

Glucklich weinachten, mein freund!!! Und mehr bier!!!

Sent you a PM!

You guys are the best! Thanks for all the help. I didn't realize what a treasure trove I'd stumbled upon. I actually got this set because of the Tadd Dameron connection; I'd never heard any Fats before. Wow, what I've been missing! Extra thanks to mikeweil for pointing out something I'd forgotten: that the 12" orders are rarely any kind of measuring stick to use. So I guess, in essence, this CD of the complete works is really the best way to listen to it after all!

Britney Spears, celebrating the 60th anniversary of her first tour, gives new meaning to her recently remixed release "Oops, I Did It Again."

What? No John Hammond? Seriously, very cool indeed.

I think we've located Dmitry's Keynote set and Wesbed's Mosaic!

"Y'know, when I said let's 'carpool' I didn't think he'd take it so literally."

These guys put the "high" back in "high school!"

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?

I got the Complete Blue Note Recordings of Fats Navarro and Tadd Dameron, and would like to program the CDs (and probably burn a CDR for car listening) to the running order of the original LPs. I've been searching the web, and can't find anything, so if anyone has the list or can post a link where I could find 'em, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

I LOVE IT!!!

On second thought, maybe AfricaBrass could do something with it instead: maybe have the lady shake her hips, and then turn her head to reveal that she is really.... James T. Cat!!!

Holy couw, and I thought the CRAZY BABY cover was hilarious (it still is, BTW). couw, PLEASE do your magic on Big John Patton's LET 'EM ROLL! PLEASE!!!

Nice article indeed, but I SURE didn't care for his comments about The Natural Soul! B)

Yeah! That and the fact that everything is overpriced and it seems like every time I'm in there, the music is blaring something awful, and it usually involves French Afro-gypsies chanting a three-tongued mantra in 15/13 time. As for The Prisoner, it's probably the one I listen to the least, but it has its moments, not the least of which is its sense of adventure!

What do you call a dog with no legs? Cigarette, and then take him out for a drag!

It's all good stuff, nice & greasy to be sure. Great party music. Like Soul Stream said, Wilkerson OWNS this sound. But for my money, my favorite is SHOUTIN'! The Texas Twister with the Holy Trinity of Greeeeeeeaze!!!! Does it get any juicier than this? B)
