  1. 'Desafinado' was not originally an instrumental, and is not generally known that way in the world of Brazilian music. Joao Gilberto recorded it in 1958, four years before Getz and Byrd's instrumental version. Both Gene Lees and Jon Hendricks also wrote english lyrics for it.
  2. Kaper also wrote the music for "Invitation" (lyric by Paul Francis Webster) in 1952. It became a standard, and probably more so as an instrumental, but technically it probably doesn't make the cut. I also just realized that Bill Evans recorded it on "You Must Believe In Spring" in 1977. Now I'm more curious than ever regarding the correct title of the Mihanovich tune. Is it "Some Time Ago", or "Sometime Ago"? I see the latter more often, but I'm not sure if it makes sense spelled that way.
  3. Just in my own collection, in addition to the 1964 Joe Pass and 1965 Pete Jolly versions, there are: Ed Bickert & Bill Mays - Concord, 1994 (this is an all-time favorite of mine, and appeared on BFT #3, which of course makes it a classic ) Irene Kral "Wonderful Life" - Mainstream, 1965 Ali Ryerson "In Her Own Sweet Way" - Concord, 1996 Bob Brookmeyer And Friends - Columbia, 1964 Art Farmer "Interaction" - Atlantic, 1963 Jack Wilson "The Two Sides Of Jack Wilson" - Atlantic, 1964 I've heard other versions on the radio as well. I wonder if there are separate entries in Lord, because it's often spelled as "Sometime Ago", as opposed to "Some Time Ago".
  4. I knew there had to be some Stanley T threads here. I've always been a big fan too, and collected his stuff rabidly. I don't remember where I started with him, but I do remember loving the Blue Note twofer LP that included some of that large ensemble material that didn't make it to CD until relatively recently (the Duke Pearson-arranged stuff that ended up on "Prodigal Son" and "A Bluish Bag"). I particularly loved his knack (like Hampton Hawes) of making something special out of 60's pop material that relatively few other jazz players were playing. By the way... I struggled to find the above threads using google until I included "site:" in front of "organissimo.org" (site:organissimo.org "stanley turrentine"), which brought up the links.

  8. Our wonderful and talented daughter graduated a few years ago from California State University Long Beach with a degree in design, and is now a professional in architectural/interior design. She is so precious to us, and we are so proud of her. I just read that the first victim of these senseless murders identified as being from the U.S. was Nohemi Gonzalez, a 23 year old senior design student at California State University Long Beach. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/paris-lawyer-victim-identified-terror-attacks-article-1.2435000 As if all of this wasn't heartbreaking enough, this makes it hit even harder for me. RIP Nohemi, and condolences to all of the grieving families and friends. Brownie, it's always good to see you posting here, even (or perhaps especially) under these circumstances. So glad you were not hurt.

  10. Technically, I think the "Unread Posts" ("Unread Content") is slightly different from the old "view new posts/new content" feature (what the hell was it called... I forgot already, and I used it every day). Since the latest upgrade, I've been using "Unread Content" as my bookmark, but I just realized that "All Activity" is more like the old link that I used previously. If you post something, and soon after want to check back on that same thread, "Unread Content" won't show it to you if nobody has posted since you posted. "All Activity" organizes and presents the content very similarly to the way the old link did, showing everything chronologically (allowing you to see your most recent post, which I find convenient). The difference is that the old system organized everything by threads, as opposed to posts. Now, you might see multiple links to the same thread, whereas before you just saw one link for each recent thread.
  11. Weird. I didn't even think of that, but sure enough it works. Thanks. Edit: Also weird... I chose that video because it's a recent discovery that I love, but I suddenly seem to recall that you're a Tele guy (?). The guitarist here is a Dutch guy named Dusty Ciggaar. A young monster!

  13. When it ended, I almost thought I wanted to hear more, and then realized that it couldn't have been improved upon. Just generally a favorite tune of mine, also.

    The subject of this date, and the incomplete and scattered releases was always confusing enough, let alone now with the passage of time. I just searched for previous discussions, and found this (which began as a discussion of his early 60's Columbia recordings): http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?/topic/2733-kenny-burrell-euphoria-cd-question/ I don't own this new CD, but I find the data a bit curious (and I have developed a natural skepticism regarding data on releases like this). I've never seen a reference to an alt take of "I Can't See For Lookin'". I don't think I ever saw a CD issue that included "HCYDATLTTM (aka "Sultry Serenade") as a bonus track, though. Anyway, according to the info presented in the thread I linked, there were another four tunes that were never released: Blues In The Closet; It's Easy To Remember; Doodlin'; and But Beautiful.
