Well, I had to look up the age of my favorite alto player, and dammit...he's 52. Bob Mover. Kicks ass on alto/tenor. Under 50? I've got to do some listening!!!

I've been immersed in the readings of JOE BIALEK. Guy's a fucking genius!!!

Cedar Walton--Spectrum (w/ Blue Mitchell). It burns!!!

Happy Birthday, Marcus!!!

December 2004? Wow, that is current! B-)

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!!!

Many thanks. It was a really fun b-day, made even better by y'all.

Thank you all. Your warm wishes aren't lost on this old motherfucker!!! I appreciate it.
