i own, since they were released, most of the capitol items mentioned, and most of the gleason, as well. i have long noticed the difference, but ascribed it to the mixes. my mono of only the lonely contains an extra track, but, to me, that extra cut doesnt sound like it is from the same session. does anyone know why. i would love to own cd rereleases of the mono recordings of these items. where's nessa when you need him?

i just a heard a wonderful recording of a 1980 town hall concert with willie ruff, dwike mitchell, and diz. this leads me to wonder whether: 1. this quality recording has been reissued 2. how much original jazz material was issue by book of the.......? if this recording is indicative, they mave have an awesome catalogue. this subdued spacy diz is magnificent.

one of my spiritual homes hidden on some railroad tracks between 2 prisons, one gothic, with an old potters field for inmates where i can watch hundreds of cattle graze and look down at sunsets. my soul needs at least one sunset there per week.

lovely lovely lovely

the forgotten score to mickey one by eddie sauter and stan getz(just slightly post focus) was a pure delight for me for many decades, and the cryptic movie was equally splendid. some of stan's happiest and most sensitive playing............ it was apparently recorded after stan's father's death. that may have had something to do with the beauty. the mickey polka is something that not easily leaves the head.

how could we not note that abominating screecher, kenny g, anytime? hopefully, joe and kenny are not planning a reelease. when in vegas a few years ago, his new years eve tickets were going for 3 times that of earth, wind, and fire at the mgm.

i'll drink to that. has mr. organissimo ever worked a ball game? he'd be awesome jazzing a cubs, brewers, or tigers game, or maybe a hockey game.

lots of footnotes from the knowledgeable ben young. http://www.columbia.edu/cu/wkcr/

awesome comment!!!!

unreal. probably for fred, too.

much as we love music, sappy over the top music is tasteless, ineffective, and overkill. pres. bush made a national address the morning after 911. the crappy 'inspiring' contrived tasteless background music defeated the purpose of the whole thing the dems and big pharma are now running some heart-tugging health promo ads, and the music renders them over the top, trite and tasteless. can you recall other instances of inappropriately timed (or chosen) music?

this afternoon until 7pm eastern. wkcr

For the first time in his 91 years, Tigers broadcasting legend Ernie Harwell is battling a serious health concern. Harwell spent most of last week hospitalized with an obstructed bile duct, according to Gary Spicer, his friend and attorney. Spicer said Saturday the obstruction was dislodged, Harwell was released Friday, and he was resting at his home in Novi. Spicer said Harwell needed additional tests and, because of doctor's recommendations of rest, had canceled appearances and appointments for the next several weeks. Spicer declined to reveal more details about Harwell's health. During his 55 years as a broadcaster in the major leagues and 42 years with the Tigers, Harwell missed two games: for his brother's funeral in 1968 and for his induction into the Hall of Fame of the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association in 1989. Harwell canceled an appearance Wednesday in Lansing in his role as fitness advocate for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. Spicer said it was the first time Harwell had to cancel anything in 31-plus years of working with him. Since retiring from broadcasting in 2002, Harwell has hardly slowed down. He writes a weekly column for the Free Press, he does his work for Blue Cross, and he fields countless requests for his time, energy and voice. (Spicer said Harwell insisted on writing his Free Press column for this week and next before entering the hospital.) Spicer said that while resting, Harwell was looking forward to his 68th wedding anniversary with Lulu on Aug. 30. His 92nd birthday is Jan. 25. Spicer requested that friends refrain from calling or visiting Harwell. Get-well wishes should be sent via mail this way: Ernie Harwell c/o S. Gary Spicer Sr. Attorney at Law 16845 Kercheval Ave.,

some of his forgotten jewels that i ldeeply love were with his group prima materia on knitting factory, which attracted very little, if any notice. they are among my jewels, with the vanguard, again and expression. i shall never again hear anyone gaze as deeply, lovingly, intensely, passionately as rashied when he was worshipping the masters.
