Happenings--Hank Jones,w/ Oliver Nelson, Clark Terry, et al, on Impulse!

Up w/ price reductions.

Aw, Hell Yeah!!!!

Freddie Hubbard used ye' olde false fingerings to great effect on his solo in Stolen Moments (from Blues and the Abstract Truth), to execute some passages that would otherwise not be possible on the trumpet. I remember listening to it when I was just getting into jazz, and trumpet... and saying to my then-girlfriend, "God-Damnit, I don't see how that's possible!". Then I saw it written out in a John McNeil book which contains many great exercises w/ f.fingerings. Whew!

Replied to D.G..

I'm going to a listening party (of Smile)/Bbq tonight at a friends house. He has a hdcd player, tube amp., the whole audiophile's nine yards...so I'm getting ready to see what all the fuss is about!

Boy, they sure didn't record a lot of dates under trumpet players' names. 2 w/ Freddie, 2 w/ Clark Terry, 1 w/ Diz, and later on some more trivial Blue Mitchell. Tons of sax and piano dates... maybe it was because most other trumpet players were under contract??? I'm sure it's more complicated than that.

I'm going for it! Joe, you've got mail (pm). MM

I think that this thread could possibly have the lifespan of a gila monster.

HAPPY B-DAY, RON!!!!!

Go Yankees!

I came very close to buying this puppy when Borders had their 50% off sale. I goofed!!!

That signature looks like it says Dave McKenna. I don't know exactly who that is?!!? Is it him?

Bob Dylan.

Lester Bowie?

Come on now, RT...just a little hint.?!?!?

Steve Lacy?

I can't stand the suspense!!

OK, one more guess....Ornette? I'll quit for this round if I'm wrong!

Does the sig. say Byron? Is it Don Byron?

I'd stick with the current pricing points and you'll do just fine!!!

There are some lovely tracks on Smile. Lucky for me, my brother is a HUGE BB fan, and has hooked me up w/ many a bootleg of this and other material. He went to the U.K. just to see Wilson and his troupe perform Smile (and of course some other songs). So Jeff, I would advise you to believe the hype, rather than the blanket dismissals.

Gary Payton, poor fella' got a DUI . Maybe that's why he wasn't making the plays last season...booze (?!!). I never play too well when I'm tanked, either! It's amazing how little media attention he's received since last season. I've never seen such a quick qualitative dump, well....at least since Shawn Kemp!!!

My barber is a sweet, young, very attractive asian woman, who charges $7.00. I give her $10. I guess she cuts in bulk, but does a good job. Looking like Lucy Liu doesn't hurt, either. B-)
