socks? thanks Mike, that was real... erm... expressive writing.

BTW, I was going to tell you to keep vinyl related issues in the vinyl forum.

hey, that's me too!

I love that word and I'd like to see it used more often

Chuck has mentioned March in another inquiring thread on this issue. Is that still on Chuck?

No use, you'll never catch up! now, here I was, noting that Master Mike has posted on my BF Thread. I click the link and what do I see instead of an interesting exposé on one of the selections? Yet another post merely serving to increase Mike's post count.

kh is still around I believe. Thanks for sharing your opinion on this. Most of us are fans and only have the articles and the music to go by. I myself am a HUGE admirer of the Kirk performance in question, as you may have gathered from my posts above. I believe I called your father an "ass." That's not nice, but it is an expression of my emotional reaction to the music I like so much being "dissed" as something that should have not happened. I hope you can understand that. Feel free to hang around this board if you like. The more, the merrier!

Thanks for sharing Geoff, watch your syntax and your spelling! I wouldn't say that Moncur *pushed* McLean into freer territories. McLean was already there, had arrived on his own strength with his Let Freedom Ring album, and was as much pushing himself as anyone else when he came back to freedom with One Step Beyond. "Stimulated" would be a better word I think. Similarly, I don't think Lee Morgan needed any pushing. The guy was a master of the trumpet and all over the map; this was recorded one month before the Sidewinder, just after Morgan had returned from an absence. Morgan seemed very much open for the new stuff being played at the time. This was before the success of the Sidewinder pigeonholed him.

In a way I have always seen another Roland Kirk in him, if that makes sense.

and additional linernotes

RDK, I'm glad you liked it. My musically untrained ears don't hear a distinct similarity between Days of Wine and Bourbon and Self Portrait; there is some to be sure, but the Mingus line is "concave," whereas the QOut line is "flat," tending to "convex." I might as well have saved you this post as I think it is unlikely that you will understand my idiosyncratic description. You may though and if not, I have added another post to my counter

Geoff, yell real loud you want to have a go. Somebody will notice. I saw in the other thread that next week's caller has nominated JSngry to call for the week after that. You may want to send JSngry a message asking him to nominate you.

even someone who didn't participate in the test was set on the trail of Mangelsdorff after reading the answers. Ain't that cool!

Lee Morgan - he's so HOT, the cards burn to ashes in his hands.

Charles Mingus - if he loses, you will too. Extremeties that is.

where can I go to have my jeans embroidered? where can I go to have my poodle clipped? where can I go.... questions, questions, questions...

you forgot loafers. you need loafers for the real deal.

such sweaters have persuaded me on several occasion also; same with way too big sunglassed and pink shirts

who's Tom? do you mean the guy that looks like Andrew Hill?

yeah, but he must have been thinking in a zen kinda upside down bizarro way.

THIS is the one for Dan, definitely!!!

As for the bickering about Jim's reaction to his own band/track/solo, it was as much his Test as it was mine in a way when it comes to this track. I found his remark to be funny and neatly cryptic. It did indeed fit well with his other statements, not only WRT tracks from this BFT, but previous ones as well.

I edited the first post to include a remark about Farrell actually being featured on track 3. I still cannot fathom to understand what it means to be tricked on your own test. Do I need to see a doctor you think?

slow or not available at times; then it runs like sunshine again (like noe)

looks like that all black magic of reinstalling the whole shabang will be necessary. MS is like a black box at times. You change settings and nothing happens. You change them back to the original and tadaaa! problem solved. I hate it when that happens
