two guys who don't belong on the same bandstand, but does it matter?

A sure sign that it's over?

No, I think Lee's "they" refers to Lester & Warne being able to do that mentally without the aids available now.

This is so Saskatoon, in so many ways, it could take forever to explain.

and maybe they were hoping he'd bring some new tunes?

Makes perfect sense iff (mathematical, if but only if) you remember that Williams was a huge Beatles fan - see/hear his versions of "Fool on the Hill" and Blackbird"...coulda been great, as long as Tony refrained from singing!

George Jones had a gift, a stunning voice, which he choose how to use, sometimes well... Ray Price was less gifted but made himself a great singer by woking at it, and a great band leader too before he disbanded the Cherokee Cowboys, but it's true that he hasn't garned the widespread appreciation that George did.

A special favorite George Jones performance is his version of "Trouble in Mind" from his Bob Wills tribute album.

He stopped loving her today...

I didn't quite see what the point of this article was, but I loves me some Willie!

And Phil Woods + that wonderful rhythm section on Musique du Bois

I thought it was Gator Tail, but maybe I'm thinking of a different Clovers record...love the Clovers and their version of Blue Velvett, their best ballad?

I used to really enjoy his show with Cisco, even though I'm not much of a film guy and often disagreed with 'em both. Fantasized 'bout having a similar show discussing music...

I think I'll pass on this one in any format - rather too much of a good thing, as is 48 minutes of Sonny playing "Four", diminishing returns and all that, YMMV

Let me know if you didn't get the gist of what I was saying. I did not get it. Any relationship between Motian and Mobley? Even I got what he was sayin', and I'm not particularly inclined to...

I thought this fine recording was recently reissued, no?

The GG I'm hoping to see released is/are(?) the 2 outtakes from Carryin' On - two Jimmy Webb Tunes IIRC. That and everything else he ever set to tape!

These are My Roots: Clifford Jordan Plays Leadbelly - wierd concept, fine listen. YMMV, etc.

Coltrane "Creation", yeah that. Beats the official Half Note, and that's pretty darn good. Sonny @ the VV is lovely, but it's hardly a band at all since it was the first time the three of them had played in public (and the last?). James at the Apollo? QMS, Happy Trails? Elvis C @ the El Macombo? Five Live Yardbirds? Stones in Brussels? Miles, Cellar Door, the parts without Johnny McL since he wasn't part of the working band. Ellington in Fargo, ND. A (really great) day in the life of a (really great) working band.

I'm as big a fan of BF as anyone, but I still think the quotation that starts this thread is a little over the top, no one is all that. Fav album - News For Lulu (atypical, I know); fav gig - duo with Joey Baron; fav performance on Youtube - La La Means I Love You. For now.

And if Jr. Brown sang like Jimi and played like Ernest Tubb, yeah it could always be worse.

On the other hand, I just put the duets with Moran on hold, so?

A bit harsh. Isn't that like calling orange 'red-lite' ! I admit my mind does wander a bit in Lloyd's ECM recordings but I like them, especially the last one. I saw him at the Brecon Festival a few years back and found him very engaging. BBC 4 has a Lonon concert being broadcast at present with Abercrombie. Went out last night and is repeated tonight. Orange is a stupid wannabe colour, and I feel pretty much the same way about Charles Lloyd. That early band with KJ et all was important since it marks the begining of '1st string' jazz bands where the rhythm section consistantly outplays the frontline...

Last time I saw Ornette, he had 3 basses. Amazingly, they stayed out of each other's way(s)...

I loved Harper Collins' "new books similar to this one" hyping of a Joy Division book on the page for Crouch's magnumb bogus... And "Rise & Times" isn't a clever neolism conjoining two thoughts, it's just a clumsy expression of a mixed up message.
