The Warriors dominated the Sixers last night in Oakland. It was over by halftime. For some reason, the refs seemed to apply new rules to the game, perhaps because they felt sorry for Philly... ? There were a bunch of missed calls (mostly in favor of the Sixers), and among them I saw several intentional fouls (really obvious ones where guys were grabbing/hacking someone to prevent a layup or a dunk) that none of the officials saw. Some of the most inept officiating I've seen in years. If the W's hadn't been up 20, I might have gotten on the damn telephone.

Label images Hmm... http://www.absolutemusik.com/info/jazz_con..._labels_tc.html (no black label stereos shown on their Contemporary page) !?

Jazzland (stereo or mono) = Maroon, Riverside = Teal ?

Well, there goes that theory. This one's stereo.

The mono Orpheum labels were a teal color (edit: hmm... I had a maroon label or two as well, but can't remember much about them) I'm associating all of this mainly with Riverside. Unlike the Prestige/Status relationship, the name "Riverside" remained on the label, while the small print at the bottom simply changed from "Bill Grauer Productions" to "Orpheum Productions". As far as Jazzland is concerned, I'm sort of blanking... I don't remember having a Jazzland LP produced by Orpheum. Also, why is it that the jazz guides (O'Sullivan/Woodside, Goldmine, etc) that I own don't even list Jazzland in their label directories?

Outstanding technique on those (and thanks), but for me technique can get in the way of good music sometimes. Anyway, here's something slightly different. It's laid back, but very tasty, imo. Never heard of him before... not bad for a guy with only one video upload...

Works for me, Ray.

I need to pull that out again too. I was listening to Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz last night, and heard her and Shearing playing a nice rendition of that tune.

This reminds me... anybody else still using the Blue Note animated screen saver? I still have it running on my backup computer (an old Mac G3)

Nice, Herb. What year is your 355- '64? '65? I miss having a semi-hollow (had several 335's, 345's and 355's over the years, but none since the early 90's).

Thanks for the tips on the book, guys. Looks interesting. Shawn, I'm not sure I remember that one... I only owned Soulero for a short time, before finding more complete issues of that material. Maybe somebody can do a scan?

Here's the cover of the mono edition: It's funny you should bring these up. I have a cadet re-issue that has one of the most ridiculas covers I have ever seen. Best as I can figure they just took the four color film and printed it black only. My god, I had erased that from memory... I had that same issue, 15 or so years ago! I bought it via mail order, and let's just say I knew I was getting a reissue, but had no idea that the cover was going to be butchered to THAT extent. It still turns my stomach to see that... what in the hell were they thinking? Oh well, I kept it until I got the CD, because it's great music. I also recall another Argo reissue that was butchered like that... I think it was the Johnny Griffin. All I can say is, that whole operation must have been breaking some laws. Btw, thanks to Peter for posting that mono cover!

Damn... those are three good albums.

A google search for "Peter King" saxophone results in 29, 600 hits. For example, Wikipedia's page: Peter King (saxophonist) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Peter King (b. 11 August 1940 is an English jazz saxophonist, composer, and clarinettist. King was born in Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey, and taught himself to play the clarinet at the age of fifteen, quickly switching to alto saxophone. In 1959, at the age of nineteen, he was booked by Ronnie Scott to perform at the opening of Scott's club in Gerrard Street, London. In the same year he received the "Melody Maker New Star" award. He worked with Johnny Dankworth's orchestra from 1960 to 1961, and went on to work with the big bands of Maynard Ferguson, Tubby Hayes, Harry South, and Stan Tracey, the Brussels Big Band, and the Ray Charles band on a European tour. He has also played in small groups with musicians such as Philly Joe Jones, Zoot Sims, Al Cohn, Red Rodney, Hampton Hawes, Nat Adderley, Al Haig, Bill Watrous, and Dick Morrissey, and singers such as Jimmy Witherspoon, Joe Williams, Jon Hendricks, and Anita O'Day. He is a member of Charlie Watts' Tentet. King's composing has moved beyond individual numbers for performance and recording, and includes an opera, Zyklon, in collaboration with Julian Barry.

I have a Louis Stewart bootleg video where he played with King back in the 80's, and I always thought King was a fine player. I think he's somewhat of a legend in the UK. No doubt some of our friends in that part of the world will educate us here shortly...

I'm in a serious rut when it comes to appreciating and enjoying my jazz collection. There are a variety of reasons for this, and it gets pretty complex to try to analyze it, but basically I've been distracted by a variety of other interests (musical and otherwise, including Brazilian, Blues, Soul, and the occasional return to Rock; scouring the web for great guitars; checking out the Napili webcam and on and on), all facilitated by the wonders of a new iMac and a high speed connection to the web. The availability of downloads, using iTunes to store MP3's, and new discoveries outside the world of jazz has caused me to neglect my jazz CD's even more than I did when I was heavily into trading CDR's of oop vinyl. Basically, things haven't been the same since I first got hooked up to the internet in '98. I do most of my actual CD listening on the computer instead of the stereo (maybe if I was a laptopper, things would be different). I even listen to my favorite radio show (Sonny Buxton's Saturday show on KCSM) via the internet stream. All of this so I can multi-task, explore, research, etc. My stereo just doesn't see a lot of use anymore. Kind of sad, in a way, but true. Anyway, this is all kind of a side issue. What I'm really curious about is what stimulates all of you in terms of making listening choices. Over the past several years, it seems that I mainly listen to my jazz CD's in certain situations, such as: a) after acquiring new ones b) reading a review or analysis of a recording here on the board, and realizing I haven't played it in X number of years ("X" is often anywhere between 5 and 25! ) c) reading a question about some recording here on the board d) researching the changes to certain tunes that I'm trying to learn There are probably one or two other things that regularly stimulate me to pull out a CD, but I think these are the primary examples for me. The traditional "Say, I'm in the mood for some Miles", or "I think I'll spin some Monk" somehow all but ceased to occur for me a long time ago. So, what stimulates you? Are you spontaneous, or do you have a routine (besides Dan's "A-Z" experiment )? If you're spontaneous, do you need an external stimulus of some kind, like a cover photo or a thread topic here, or do you just sit down and think about what you're in the mood for? Do you regularly pull out the recordings of your favorite musicians, or have they tended to fade from your rotation in lieu of listening to your latest discoveries, a new Mosaic set, your stack of new CD's, or a pile of links to YouTube videos you have yet to view? (jk, but maybe that's not so far-fetched) Does "the perpetual hunt" distract you from the music you've always loved the most? (unfortunately, I have to admit that this has been the case for me... but I'm becoming more and more conscious of my need to change that situation). If there are other systems or individual stimuli that y'all employ, by all means mention them. [btw, apologies for what I'm realizing is probably somewhat of a topic rehash.]

You sure this was not the Spanish book 'Grafico Jazz'? That softcover coffeetable size book was published in conjunction with a 1999 exhibition of jazz albums covers in Valencia, Spain. Full title is 'Disco y Fotografia en el disco de jazz 1940/1968'. Saw a copy of it in a bookstore while vacationing in Spain last year and bought it. Not that expensive, compared to some other books on jazz. It has interesting photos of rare album covers and an essay on the subject by Bob Blumenthal plus interviews with Burt Goldblatt and Jim Flora. Text in Spanish with english translations. I just happened to stumble onto a scan of this, so I thought I'd post it... If you see it, grab it. (oh, and while you're at it, grab one for me )

Yeah Jim, I really wonder if there is more to the Knick/Nugget thing than strictly what occurred that night and at that particular point in the game. In other words, perhaps some carry-over from some other game, or some other incident(s) that might have occurred earlier in that game. I've seen so many hard fouls already this season, it just seems like a routine thing that usually doesn't escalate into anything. This Collins foul seems relatively tame... maybe there had been a lot of trash talking before the incident occurred... who knows.

Thanks again, Marcello. You may want to look at the ones I've already posted though. I'm not too interested in KB's own LP covers and such... I've got all those. The photo with McFarland is new to me, so thanks in particular for that one. That last one is nice, too. Not sure if I'd already seen that.
