in my semi-inebriated state, chris makes sense to me. i'll reread it in the morning. http://tinyurl.com/yb3zb8w

thank you. i was unaware of either work.

i'm too cheap or poor for ipods. my recordings and radio programs are in mp3 and wmp formats on several big external drives. i can VERY quickly load my choices for the day and delete the unwanted into my inexpensive($30)24 gig player, which runs about 50 hours on one aaa battery. i love this inexpensive original arrangement.

using the name of another artist to promo one's own own show or album is invariable, with few exceptions, puerile lame faire. can we mention the few tribute albums(to musicians) that are truly tributes? soon after trane passed, mccoy did an impassioned solo album, i forget the title, honoring him which, to me, was his finest work. marilyn crispell, somewhat later, did a lovely tribute album, tor trane, as well. rova saxophone quartet did a gorgeous impassioned tribute, ascension, then spoiled the whole affair with electric ascension.

thanks al and goldy for verbalizing what i've felt for years. bean and prez are forever wrestling in my soul. one day one's on top, the next day the other. the one on top is always the one i've heard latest.

a series of 3 oldies coming up immediately. i've already missed a couple.

it's my day! amazon has it as a download for $6.99.

yup--that was the title.

i was very pleased and surprised to hear a shelley manne-coleman hawkins duo recording from about 1962 on the radio tonight(or at least 2 cuts from it). bean played a little bit of very competent piano on the recording. can i be enlightened more? this would seem very much to be a 'must have' recording. hawk seem energized and stimulated by this recording and shelly was shelley.

The way I had heard it, Sonny didn't realize how far down it was. He thought it was just a few feet, and he was feeling loose and wanted to "work the room" a little. It's been quite a while since I watched that video. Is it true that Joe Lovano has broken BOTH of his arms? That has to be the only way to get this man to put down his horn. Get well soon!

i'm no fan of wiki, but i hope this helps. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Village_G...popular_culture

the laz has a most splendid show until mitternacht featuring a smattering of sims and some very tasty selections. those were great sounds while watching the world series.

...thanks, i didnt know that but will give the zooter a celebratory spin. that way i'll get more than a hint of prez, too.

24 hours of clifford beginning tonight at midnight eastern. http://www.columbia.edu/cu/wkcr/

last night, at the end of his show, laz played 2 'live' performances from a 1962 tonight show, with skitch henderson, now being paraded as some sort of new discovery. these were nothing more than the voice tracks of 2 'the concert sinata' selections overdubbed with solo piano. i guess that 'was' the tv performance. i am sure that this crap isnt being marketted for what it was. for one thing, 'the concert sinatra' itself was a magnificent, but already heavily doctored document with magnificent nelson riddle arrangements and huge orchestra. for another, the voice tracks from this recording were used innumerable times that i know of in 'live' specials and probably more in live shows. i wish that sinatra had been like sibelius and just stopped when the quality of his output declined.

several comments are better than the article. http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/prof_maria...fset=8#comments

i used to try to avoid that a&m sound, repertoire, and label, with very few exceptions. it was barely, if even that, tolerable, and then, there was that dreadful overdubbing of strings to make the string sections bigger. did A&M start that junk?

thanks for all the exquisite choices and reminders. i am embarrassed to say that a few of them are already in my collection. the jenny stardust is a jewel, 70 years old and still remarkably fresh. thanks.

bob's titles, and the instrumentation of his small groups, belie his musicianship. his playing and spacious arrangements on vocalist helen schneider's 'right as the rain' are most sumptuous, several of them swing quite hard. 'right as the rain' is a little known treasure.

So aloc, is "devastatingly depressing" what you get from the Israel selections? I might go with "hauntingly beautiful" or something like that. I find the beautiful trombone ballad to be a comfort on a gloomy day. Like JJ's Funny Valentine from Proof Positive (Impulse). Or Carl's Polkadots and Moonbeams from The Great Fontana. Or Teagarden's St. James Infirmary. Or Rosolino's Lover Man. Or Urbie's Ave Maria. hauntingly beautiful----------your absolutely right. i made a VERY poor choice of descriptors.

i'm familiar with that one--great choice.

maybe it was because today was cloudy, rainy, and gloomy, but several trombone ballads hit me just right. the culprits, this time, were bill harris and paul brewer. i would like some more trombone ballad selections for that next gloomy day. into my mix, i also added 3 or 4 devastatingly depressing selections from kai and jjs israel. i'm looking forward to your suggestions.
