  1. metoometoometoo...bought the rainbow LP for $3-4 w/in a year or two of it's release, been digging it ever since...but I think I sorta can see why it didn't see the light of day back in the day...'little big bands' weren't really 'the thing' and it's too subtle to convert the uninitiated on first hearing...

  4. just for the record, I'm a guy, i.e. a male human, last I checked - on both counts! Dana
  5. sidewinder, thanx muchly for the timely reply, I don't have those mentioned, I was thinking maybe there was a sideman date I'd forgotten. kinda surprised this small world moment didn't provoke more coment from y'all... dana
  6. I agree with Lon, smart women are hot (including all on this thread, even if I generally like 'em rounder)...but if chewy is calling us out as perverts, dudes we're in trouble!
  7. There's this nice older British lady who's a regular at the library where I work and we sometimes discuss jazz CDs. So the other day she asks me if I know who Tubby Hayes is so I say sure and then she tells me they went to school together and she's looking for recordings he's on to send to his sister so I recomend the Dizzy Reece Mosaic Select. Thing is I think there's something else he's a sideman on that either I or the library might have but I can't think of what that might be...didn't we have a thread discussing all the records Tubby is on? I could just look it up but I thought y'all might find this small world moment interesting.
  8. "if you're under 35"...I wouldn't think the robots would be picky like that... and who can forget, "My robot, my girl robot"?
  9. Did anyone notice that the Ellington quote quoted above (post #77) is quite surreal, ""Mrs. Clinkscales"?, and when Duke was "a small boy" Peterson hadn't been born yet, much less gotten famous so it's unlikely dukes piano teacher was telling him anything about Oscar...
  10. Was it Zoot who said "you could not play like Lester, but then you'd be wrong!"?
  11. generally I am most definitely not a fan, for reasons that have been hashed and rehashed here, but I do kinda like the everything and the kitchen sink medley that is "how Many More Time", after all if you're going to be over the top might as well go all the way...
  12. There are still used stores on Hawthorne, but there has been some turnover...this is just another example of why Studebaker diversified their way out of the car business, instead of going to the wall and losing evrything.
  13. You must mean Music Millennium at E Burnside & 32nd and yes it's stil there...the Indian place is a few blocks away at 29th. I met my wife while we were working at MM's other branch, which is now closed.
  14. I'm reminded of a Molson's add re Canada: 2 seasons, winter & July. And it was there, in saskatoon to be exact, that I saw/heard my favorite performance of the Vivaldi piece in question, at noon in, high school, by S'toon's own brilliant Mozart Group (fromerly Mozart and the Wolf Gang), complete with a harmonica solo.
  15. You know, they can put Madonna in the R 'n R hall of Fame - my only real prob with that is it makes me feel old. But now the've gone and done it - the're gonna put Little Walter (Jacobs) in BUT ONLY AS A SIDEMAN! WHAT'S THE MATTER THEY DIDN'T LIKE HIS RECORDS AS A LEADER?
  16. The Djangos at SW 11th & Stark in Portland has been closed for some time, it had been going downhill ever since Bob D. sold it, if not before...
  17. I own some Last Exit (for Sonny Sharrock) and Low (garage sale cheapie) and like what I've heard on tarogato since it's less relentless/monochromatic than his sax work. I like the fact that he plays bass sax more than the actual playing...
  18. dave9199- You are aware that there is a boot that collects My generation and all the related singles and EP cuts (plus Great Shakes and US Air Force commercials) on one cd IN MONO? I have a theory that all great originals are/were great interpretors first. The Who stretch that to the breaking point, they really weren't that great an R&B covers band, it brings out the worst sort of tough guy posturing in daltry. And then there's the surf thing. To really make a strong argument for them as interpretors you have to include 'in the style of' originals like "Magic Bus" (Bo Diddley), "Long Live Rock" (Chuck Berry). Should've quit after Moon died; I think if Pete had read the credits to Rod's albums more carefully they might've gotten Micky Waller instead of Kenny Jones, and been better off. I don't think the early Small Faces are 'better' than the early Who, the writting is much weaker ("E TOO D"), but it is nice to have more in that style, any other Mod bands I should check out from back in the day? Love the Kinks, Arthur & "Last of the Steam Powered Trains" being fav's, but they too could be iffy as a covers band (yes I realize I'm using the term in exactly the loose/sloppy way I railed against on this board), their rendition of "Got Love If You Want It" is beyond lame but the live "Milk Cow Blues"/"Batman"/"So Tired" medley is brilliant in a surreal pop art sort of way. I once knew a Kinks fan who claimed to have been born in Muswell Hill...
  19. I've always found madeline's pho lady day-isms to be a grotesque affectation.
  20. I own all the BN Turrentines, save Dearly Beloved which I don't think I've actually seen for sale anywhere. I think that says how much I like Stan. Much like Grant Green all he needs is a good melody to sound great. Love the way he plays Gershwin, and Jobim, and Bacharach...the stuff on Impulse and Atlantic under Shirley's name is pretty great too. "Think", baby!
  21. He was also a noted collctor/restorer of Studebakers.
  22. My compare and contrast article on vthis set and Miles Complete Corner got published in the Music Millennium email newsletter and I can email it to anyone who's interested (it's too long and I don't feel like figuring out how to post it), and yes I know it's at least one rewrite and a lot of editting away from being done. Me, I don't listen to a lot of gospel, even though I do listen to a lot of gospel influenced pop music of various sorts, for reason musical and extra- ....danasgoodstuff@yahoo.com
  23. I have a nice reel to reel for sale for $350 plus shipping method of your vchoice comes with various accessories and a bunch of tapes.
