Me too. Gave it to a friend for his 50th Birthday. He'd been looking for some of this footage for years. This did absolutely nothing to dispel my gut feeling that Buddy Rich was a first-class asshole....

I don't have a wife or a teenage daughter, thus I am not forced to watch this program.

The man has a way with words (not to mention font sizes), we all must admit...

Have Buscemi and Crystal ever been in a movie together? I don't think so, but it might work. "The Commodore Story" anyone? Billy as Milt, Steve as Jack. Hallie Berry as Billie Holiday, Reese Witherspoon as Lee Wiley...

Does anyone else remember "quiana"? It was some kind of artificial fabric of that time. I associate it with weird, photographically-patterned shirts that didn't breathe at all... That I actually recall wearing myself! To Junior High mixers and that sort of thing.

I saw Shaw last year, leading the Mingus Big Band. I was impressed. The following is the review I wrote for the (major metropolitan) Boston rag I write for on occasion (I've highlighted the Shaw references):

I don't remember them, but I was still surprised! What were they thinking? It wasn't a great era for tasteful attire, however: But Love Jones still wins the goofathon handily...

I think so, but I seem to see it around anyway.

Dave Chappelle has a new movie: Dave Chappelle's Block Party. Here are quotes from Stephanie Zacharek's review on Salon.com: And dig this: Here's the whole review: www.salon.com/ent/movies/review/2006/03/03/chappelle/index.html I can't wait to see this!

I'm sure I speak for everyone on this board when I say I'd be very interested in hearing this. Anyone else know anything about these alleged tapes?

Up for Chapelle fans... Or should I start a new thread?

In my experience (of listening to various forms of discs) Conte always came to play. I'll keep an eye out for this one.

Sangrey, Nessa, Lowe, or Albertson's latest post ...

George Clinton!

Sly Stone and/or Doris Day

Anything about Wingy Manone or Julie London...

Obscure British Invasion bands. Oops, wrong forum...

I have a very old cassette tape of this, dig it mightily, and look forward to its CD reissue.

I kind of like the way the guy's voice "slips around." Sounds like a good set!

I have to admit that I've been mightily tempted by Bear Family (AKA "The Hillbilly Mosaic"), yet I have yet to succumb to their wiles. If anything, like Mosaic itself, their sets are TOO exhaustive. Is there one of them I shouldn't resist? The one I've teetered closest to buying is the Jerry Lee Lewis, but I've wondered if the mastering isn't a bit (pun intended) out of date.

I'm a Tonight's the Night man myself, with Rust Never Sleeps a close second, but this thread makes me realize that I need more Neil Young in my life... (It's kind of embarrassing to realize that I have more Nilsson than Neil in my collection -- that's not to say I don't love me my Nilsson...)

I'd be curious to see some of this info myself.

I never thought of Kendrick as a "Young Lion" but he does fit the criteria. I agree about those albums, though, especially Dance, World, Dance. His trio session We Don't Die We Multiply is pretty great listening, too. I hear a lot of Ellington, Monk, and Weston in Kendrick's approach to playing and composition. Which Steve Coleman records do you recommend? I have only Rhythm in Mind (RCA/Novus) from 1992, which is a knock-out, fully living up to its eclectic personnel: Von Freeman, Kenny Wheeler, Kevin Eubanks, Tommy Flanagan, Dave Holland, Ed Blackwell, and Marvin "Smitty" Smith. (Yeah, some old lions mixed in there.)

Wasn't it an ottoman?
