and it was too old, not ugly. Hopkins was a great player. Also played in the first Jeff Beck Group with Rod, Ronnie, and Micky Waller

Winnepeg, 60 points

Lou made fun records in many styles, serious fun. And he brought Horace Silver and Grant Green to BN. IIRC he played on early recordings of both Round Midnight and Bags Groove. You could do comps of him doing R&B covers (and singing on them!) and playing Charlie Parker tunes and playing pretty on standards, and all 3 would be great.

My dad was a big Sellers fan, especially The Mouse That Roared and the Goon Show, so it's hard for me to separate that from my appreciation of Sellers. It's kind of odd because my dad wasn't like Sellers at all. very solid and stable.

I heard them on YouTube, not sure if they are still there. One track, "Blues For Mr. Tatum" IIRC, was pretty standard issue Blue Note boogaloo, not that there's anything wrong with that. That's right, except it's 1968 not '63, I thought it was 5 tunes but it's 6 so I guess there's still one I haven't heard.

I know someone who knows Zev, but if I ever got to talk to him, or anyone at Blue Note, I'm not sure this would be my first priority.

It was on vinyl as the 2nd LP on the twofer issue of The Procrastinator: But it would be great to have it on its own, maybe as Untitled Boogaloo? I'd love to see the bonus tracks from the CD of Sixth Sense on their own too - I've heard the other two tunes from that session and they are more than release quality, if not exactly a reve;ation.

It's 3 album length sessions and a shorty - the Straight No Filter session of 6/17/66 runs 3 tunes at 21:40 - adding the never issued outtake Curtis Fuller tune from Caddy For Daddy would presumably get it up to full-ish length, although I have no idea exactly how long or how good that performance is.

That's a good deal on some wonderful music.

Given that Kenny played with Cedar for Prestige in '67 and that many former Blue Note artists recorded for Prestige, I'm kind of surprised he didn't do anything as a leader for them after he left Prestige...

Could be great, could be meh. That's the way music/life/jazz works. but this certainly has potential.

Go Riders!

This thread reminded me I need to find my copy of this, Mighty Joe Young, Blues With a Touch of Soul. Another fine album from Delmark.

Category:Duke Ellington tribute albums - Wikipedia take your pick, from this list and more, I'm sure there's something to fit everyone's idea of the worst Ellington salute. So why dump on this guy?

Didn't he do 4 with Hank Jones for BN? 2 studio quartet dates, one of duos, and a live one at Newport? All quite nice as I recall and I was at the Newport date. But I sometimes wonder why I have quite so much Jo Lo, but not as much as I wonder how I got so much David Murray.

My choice on threads like this is always Butch Warren, ubiquitous on the (inter)national scene for a couple of years and then back home to deal with stuff. And Tommy Cogbill, session player in Memphis and Muscle Shoals.

I started when I was about 11 (long ago and far away) and it's been pretty steady ever since, even when I was broke. Of course, when I worked in stores and got that employee discount it was more. Thousands of LPs and CDs.

Interesting, I just barely skimmed my way through, but #2 grabbed me the most, to say the least. No idea who any of it might be.

Does anyone else hear the Oliver band with Armstrong as funk? Sounds to me more like the JBs, etc. than like any modern jazz band. Not that that's a bad thing... just wondering.

Ayler, Revelations

the Land of Living Skies! Enrico Rava and a bunch of Italians I never heard of play stuff written or co-written by MJ, plus Smile by Chaplin which was his favorite tune, I thought it was brilliant

That seems easily fixable, and the costs should be recoverable from the insurance on the truck what done it.

they let ties just stand in the CFL? I'd totally forgotten that.

I've always enjoyed this solo piano outing of his.

Those CDs are favorites of mine too, along with the Raymond Scott collection that came out around the same time. One of the few paces our tastes overlap, I think. Fun stuff and seriously great too, part of a thing then rethinking the canon and giving it new balls or something. it seemed like a thing at the time. I have them filed next to Zorn's News For Lulu and other non-bop versions of bop tunes and Bailey's Ballads. And Don Byron's Bug Music.
