"'I do not scream' say Gato 'for the same reasons Pharogh Sanders screams'" and then he blows the plating off it!

Completely worthless and full of it, except Sonny is #1!

I'm not so sure Brian and keith ever were, kind of creepy that No Lifeguard on Duty sign in the background...do love the way they played together though.

"Zep reforming" Does this mean that they will no longer misbehave and stop claiming credit for things they didn't write? And, yes, we have been round this mulberry bush before...

Buddy Tate & Abdullah Ibrahim is pretty nice, bought a copy when new at a very short-lived store here in Portland, OR

AThe guy who played guitar with the Clovers had a solo jazz LP, but I can never remember his name...and Ben Webster had one sold thru Dutch grocery store that was all trad folk & spirituals (to save on royalties)

Jimmy Smith - jazz organist Jimmy Smith - jazz drummer

May be St D's P got caught betwixt 'going to reissue/upgrade' and actually doing it?

John (and everyone reading this), if you can find it, I would highly recommend their seasonal brown ale, "Tumbler". I heartily concur, and as an Oregonian I an loath to say anything nice about California beers, but i'm down with this brown...

The windows of the world are filled with rain/ when will the dark clouds disappear?

A little bit is good (or at least, not so bad), too much is (way) bad?

Man, I read him like a book...

I thought this one was relatively dull (though it has its moments). Definitely not on the level of Out of the Cool or Individualism. Your "dull" is my "subtle". Might use that as a signature line, if I did that sort of thing...

Even if it wasn't, kudos for working the word into the conversation! Well I kinda think it was/is. About a music moving towards it's inevitable point of Afro-centric self determination. It's a big grown up word that cuts through a lot of crap. It's a big word that neatly encapsulates a lot of crap. Teleological perfectly sums up what I believe Baraka and self determination was/is about and why he may have wanted to look beyond hard bop even if he loved the music. Argue against it if you feel it is a misguided assertion on my behalf. No, I think you're totally correct in your thinking 'bout why Baraka would dis hard bop, I just think that teleological arguements are bs...

He was, indeed, involved in a lot of v. good stuffs. but like so much stauffs it was a colaborative effort, but bless him for his large part in it.

What? the original wasn't creepy enuff?! Nice vintage Lincoln in it, IIRC...

From now on I'm going to hear the opening drumshot to "Like a Rolling Stone" as a boxing bell, not wholly inappropriate either.

But Atlantic did issue the Coaster's earlier recordings of L&S's "What About Us" http://www.leoslyrics.com/the-coasters/what-about-us-lyrics/ and "Run Red Run" and S. Burke's later recording of "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free", all of which are more or less 'protesty', so maybe it was the snotnose sarcastic attitude of "only in america", more protest-taunt' if you will, that caused Wexler to reject it - but then he hated the Drifters' "Ther Goes My Baby" (for musical reasons), so what did he know? Change is Gonna Come was too long for a single originally, and still pretty obvious in what it's about in the shorter form.

Aric should call Lou to congradulate him (someone had to say it)!

I seem to remember an early Joey DeFrancesco album with a credit for who supplied his cufflinks! Guy musicians who put 'too much' emphasis on their appearance are likely to be even more completely dismissed than the ladies...

Like Joanne Brackeen (sp?) who often looked rediculous, and I think that was her own doing...

That doesn't look like the capitol of Saskatchewan to me, but then again I haven't been there since my grade 8 field trip!

Alto Reed - not nec'ly a great hornman, but a truly great name for one

Since I wrote this I've got Dearly Beloved on CD - first side of the LP, brilliant, 2nd side, merely good. Programming as much as, if not more than, the playing...
