jsngry, Not so strange, I was just having a brain glitch/wishful thinking, 'cause I'd rather hear him play "I Wish it Would Rain"...

I would have to think that "Let It Rain" is more likely the Temptations song of that name rather than Clapton's...

I'll be interested to hear this, mostly 'cause I've met Perry and think he's a heck of a nice guy...

I was working at the Electric Fetus in Mpls when the Wilburies were current and people would come in to ask for it and not be able to exactly remember the name...best garblization was "the wandering wallabies". For me, hearing Bob relaxed and funny was by far the best part...

I've always passed on Drives 'cause the one time I heard it I thought it was stiff, esp'ly compared to the v. energenic Live @ the Club Mozambique with which it shares some material. Turning Point is perhaps a little more 'thoughtful' than Think! but the're both fine.

That Lester (bangs the shit outta his typewriter) was unafraid of being "dopey" is one of his most endearing qualities, IMHO. Same could be said of both John & Paul, in their decidedly different ways. I also love Run Devil Run, so yes I do think he can still rock in a decidedly old-fashioned way, but his grammy "Helter Skelter" was at least relatively modern..on the other hand he wometimes seems intent on exploring the connection between infectious (sonething you can't get outta yer head) and infection (something that just makes you sick).

Hey, he's nowhere near the asshole that Miles could be, but then he's nowhere near the motherfucker (in a good sense) that Miles could be either.

Got it, but then I am a GG completist. Enjoyed it quite a bit, but I think I can hear why it wasn't issued initially (lack of gel and some rough edges and not quite adding up as an album). Well worth anything under $10, but probably no more...

Damn, I love both Don W's complete BN and Hank's Thinking of Home, even like some Zorn, particularly News For Lulu, but I did unload Spy vs. Spy pretty darn quickly.

King Curtis was the man on virtually all the Coasters singles, presumably "Along Came Jones" as well. What I wanta know is who was it on the Chords' "ShBoom"? It's not yer usual hard 'n heavy honking, but it sure sounds sweet to me. I'm also quite fond of Bobby Keys' work on the stones' "brown Sugar" which pretty much distills everything he learned from King curtis, et al. Also love Jr. Walker who took honking into the Soul era, "Cleo's Back" and the other pre-Motown singles esp'ly.

I think I miss Lester Bangs more than John Lennon...

I think Jazz Kat has a point, something can be a jam session standard without there being a lot of recordings. Can't think of a good jazz example but I can think of some rock 'n roll ones, e.g. "Gloria" got played at certain sorts of rock gigs just as much as "Louie Louie" but wasn't recorded as much or as big a hit. I do think it's a problem for jazz that there are (or may be) no recent standards or jazz standards (yes, I do understand and respect the dif). And yes, I am old fashioned enuff to care about tunes...

chewy, since no one else has answered, I'll give you the quick and dirty - the're partially unissued, just like the two on the new CD. Perhaps someone can post the details or you could google "bluenote discography" and find it. I was hoping for the next Turrentine to be 3 sessions, including the "Love is Blue" 45 session that is also partially unissued. Maybe I'll look it all up and repost later...haven't bought the new ST, but I will shortly 'cause I dig the stuff that has been previously issued and am a sucker for unissued BN of any sort. Dana

Looks good; given Kirkland's precense, I gotta ask 'when was it recorded'?

I hesitate to jump in, least this thread disappear too, but I gotta stick up for us oregonads(sic, v. sic) - some of us do use toliet paper...

I am certainly not going to assert that the 3 sounds don't work here, they were after all the 4 sounds with a number of different sax players before they made it and I think their working unit togetherness is part of what makes this work (and it certainly does, IMHO). So I don't waste any time imagining others, piano bass or drums, here - it is what it is, and that's v. nice. So is ST at Mintons, as well as most of his BN work, but it ain't either or.... As a 'late night' mood thing it certainly works as well as Midnight Blue, although I am generally an 'album is a variety thing' guy... 9/10?

Maybe if BN ever does a Lou D box set they could cherry pick the unissued/rejected stuff, certainly deserves it, from Monk sideman to bringing Horace and Grant to the label to booga-Lou...

My fav was the guy trying to impress a girl holding a robt Johnson CD, "Oh yeah, I heard him open for the Stones." Not in this world he didn't.

Regarding mountains, tops 'n all, T.S. Elliot's "Tradition and the Individual Talent" may prove instructive, or not. Regarding JOS and downbeat, I'm not surprised he won again and again, the margin's a bit much but maybe some of it's that selfreinforcing thing going on...maybe we could do a poll compairing this to Gerry Mulligan's dominance of the Baritone category. so John Patton's underrated, esp'ly the latter stuff, didn't we all already know that?

"Trailers for sale or rent/rooooms to let, fifty cents" Maybe if the brits do more of them weird themed antho's we'll get to hear at least some of it...

Know what cha mean 'bout that first VU disc with all them demo's but may be we could apply special numbering and call it disc '0' 'cause zero is what it's worth and it's kinda before the beginning and I can't believe they put that shit on but couldn't findroom for "Melody Laughter" at full length (btw, what's a good source?)... Other first disc is the deepest - the Rhino Doo Wop I & II (III I might like disc 2, the shoulda been hits best) The band's Musical History, disc 1 coulda been with a little editing, it's still the most varied/interesting...

I thought Jordin was a'right and definitely grew during the season, unlike some others. But no show of this sort is gonna find you the next John Lennon, Bob Dylan or Willie Nelson. Anymore than TS Monk's competition is ever gonna give us anyone even remotely like his dad...

I got a recimmend for you - make sure your sight reading's up to snuff before attempting any of her charts. We played one in stage band in college, it had plenty of accidentals on top of key changes and time changes at a fierce tempo for 200 some through composed bars and I don't think I ever got past the 4th measure. Nor that that makes her music better...or worse.

Can't think of anything even vaguely resembling a rock act on the scene less than 20 yr who I actually like, closest would be Los Lobos who I respect and admire but only somewhat like...Jeez, now I feel old (I am old, but that's no reason to feel it...)

I think the core issue for Lou D wasn't musical style or cultural vsignificance, it was personal professionalism. Up through the early '60s at least most R&B players (road bands, not studio) and more so singers were quite often rankly amature compared to a guy like Lou who came up when you just had to know certain shit to even get on a jazz bandstand, mush less make a living at it as Lou has for nearly 60 years now. same thing would apply to his attitude re fusion players who reduce everything to modes and don't really know standards like he does....
