The Stan T sessions mentioned above would make a nice, logical coupling but there's more similar (some unissued) stuff from the same era, I'll have to see if I can copy and paste...

Lee Morgan and Sonny Rollins

I have driven in the south of France, once. Based on that my reccomendation is don't try to cover as much ground per day as you would in the States. It doesn't work and things change v. quickly, 100K and evrything will be different, the scenery, the food, etc. I planned my trip using a book called The Hundred Most Beautifull Villages in France which included places that were pretty touristy and soime that weren't at all. I crossed the Pyrenees through Andorra and it was pretty spectacular... Have a plan, but be flexible, you're bound to just run into things you want to spend time on.

Actually, I was leaning towards the other choices, and if I did LeGrand Jazz it would be to say that other than the soloists I don't really like it that much,at least not nearly as well as Gil's Old Wine New Bottles and other somewhat comparable work of the same period. Oh well, nothing like a little controversy...and I was looking forward to getting Clem's input on Willie and Big Joe.

I just signed up for March 4 and was considering doing Michel LeGrand's LeGrand Jazz (with Miles & Ben), Big Joe Turner's Boss of the Blues or Willie's Star Dust (the last two maybe together as they both rework familiar material). Thanx muchly for your input, Dana

What's the name of the instrumental on vol 1/2that Genisus obviously heard? ("That's all") Dana

Not sure if it's OOP, the library where I work has it and I have some of the material elsewhere...

I really like Rhino's Roots of Funk, Vol.1/2, a sort of prequel to their History of Funk series, once the genre gets firmly established it all gets too reified for me (more or less true for all genres, but more so for funk IMHO). Given that I'm not sure how much I would like this box...

I'll go one step further - I love this album, esp'ly Greensleeves, particularly the alt. take...

I was a bigger fan of Rod's than Elton back in the day but I think Elton's actually aged better (could hardly be worse), never woulda guessed...

I too wrote for City Pages (in MN), 15+ years ago, can it really have been that long? Both jazz and other stuff....

I geuss part of my reaction was due to knowing more of the story going in...creative collaboration is often pretty messy and Strayhorn wasn't the only one in Ellington's orbit who sometimes felt misused but ruthlessness is sometimes what it takes to get results and you can't really argue with something as sublime as what Ellington, Strayhorn, Hodges, Williams, Carney, etc. created together. Listen to And His Mother Called Him Bill.

Recently bought the Complete Omega tapes thing, mostly so I could finally hear the two tunes previously issued only on some long forgotten compilation - "jazz Blues" & "Blues Jazz". Nice, short period genre pieces, one med boogie, one slow honking blues. Not surprisingly Carl Perkins sounds more at home getting down in this fashion. Nice bonus was the interesting notes. And I felt no guilt since EMI/Blue Note?Mosaic have had forever to make this stuff fully available and failed...

It was on at 11pm here in OR. I found it interesting, focussed largely on the collaboration with Ellington and what benefits and costs it may have had for Strayhorn. The tie-in with BN's new tribute project had Lovano, Charlap, Hank Jones and Elvis Costello doing various compositions - interesting but not compelling.

Son of Sidewinder?

I remember Ted Curson sitting in at a short lived club in a former fire station here in Puddletown. No, I mean literally sitting in at a front table with one arm around a fine blond lady and playing with the other hand. Quite well too. Don't ask me exactly when, "back in the day".

For what it's worth, I think Jsngry, clem & MG are all better writers (words) than Braxton whose scribbling I think is atrocious, I do like his playing however...

So, it's Holzman not Beldon that Vince hates? Interesting. Can't agree about the Cellar Door material being uninteresting. Did you hear anything more than what was issued? To me and tens of thousands of others evrything Miles did was interesting, that's why there willbe a Beyond theCorner box...someday.

Lazaro, Thanks for the thoughtful reply(?) Dana

Say what you will about WB, at least he didn't write like this...

However long it takes, I'll buy it. May have to wait for retirement to have time to fully digest...
