My guess is that someone abbreviated coronet and someone else misinterpreted. I've seen that more than once.

If they are pushing the 'new '66 Dodge' then it's probably the fall of '65 when those models had just come out. since SW was issued not much more than a year before that and took awhile to seep into the general consciousness, that timeline makes total sense.

7 tunes, roughly 35 minutes

More likely the first one didn't sell or it just got lost in the shuffle (no pun intended). I think Jackson's 2nd is every bit as good as the first, maybe better. J. Coles - no idea what happened there. 2nd session where he recorded a full album's worth, added to the CD reissue of Hootin' & Tootin'

BN wanted to record more Coltrane, but he signed with Prestige so they couldn't. They made several attempts at another Charlie rouse album but they weren't up to Afred's standards. This was often the case with those who had only one album issued, there was more than one session recorded but they either weren't up to snuff or the sales of the first issued were too disappointing. Some of these subsequent attempts at a follow-up album have either been issued on their own or as bonus tracks - for instance 5 tracks from Sonny Red's Jan 23, 1960 session were added to the CD of Out of the Blue. I don't think one-offs were often or ever part of the plan, but things happen.

He played on Andrew Hill's Point of Departure around the same time, to me that's some indication that they meant it to be an ongoing thing. BN didn't usually do one offs.

Not really, I don't have the same expectations that I have for Muddy.

If you take it as a tribute to Muddy...but then it would be weird to have Muddy sing on a tribute to himself. It's still better than Led Zep or most of the other blues butchery from that time.

Never worked for me. I like Cosey just fine with Miles and love Muddy, but totally don't mix IMHO.

I have mixed feelings about Carla as a vocalist, only own some of this despite loving early Stax. I do have the Solomon Burke and Esther Phillips entries in this series and strongly recommend them. So I'm sure they did a good job on this one too.

Rudy Toombs also wrote the very clever "One Mint Julep", first made a hit by the Clovers and later recorded by Freddie Hubbard and Ray Charles (separately) as an instrumental. It's main lick (which no doubt pre-dates the song) gets quoted in solos all the time.

Bob Dietsche, there's a guy I used to run into around Portland, both when he owned Django's and after, but haven't seen for a long time. His quirk was that he rarely went to hear music live, he much preferred listening to records at home.

Listened to Bobby Hutcherson's Head On (CD with 40+ minutes of bonus material) tonight. This one should be talked about more, on of his most ambitious and best IMHO.

I'll have to see if I can find those on YouTube or elsewhere for a listen.

I've never seen this, how is it?

I've seen stuff on YouTube from lineups that never made it to the studio, some of it pretty interesting. But I don't think I have seen more from that tour, IIRC.

I mean Chico's playing was schtick, a more or less set routine that was engaging at first but I was good and sick of it by half way through the 2nd set.

IMHO Arthur Blythe's Lennox Ave. Breakdown is a masterpiece. The one time I saw him was with Chico Freeman, too much schtick.

My wife's 2017 Nissan died the other day, turned out to just be a bad battery replaced on warranty (just days short of expiring, for once) and it was the '62 Studebaker that drove us out to retrieve it. But it has died too, but I have a mechanic who makes side of the road and house calls and charges me like it's 1962 - if you can't find one of those, better learn to be one yourself. As the meme says 'Owner's manuals used to tell you how to adjust the valves, now they tell you not to drink the anti-freeze!'

Weirdly I thought it was basically redundant but then I already had and loved Mama Too Tight whose title track is basically James Brown's "Money Won't Change You" and exquisitely greasy, IMHO. YMMV. etc. Not trying to ne disagreeable, just think it's interesting how much perceptions may vary.

That's definitely one thing wrong with those lists, among many. On the recorded v. release date issue, I find that generally jazz people are recorded date people and rockists are release date people. In fact recently on SHF there were many who insisted that the 'original lineup' of a band was who played on the first album, regardless of how long a member might have been in before that or how many singles they played on. Fiddlesticks.

I don't watch the car auctions on TV much or follow the market closely otherwise, but I have noticed some 'softness' in recent years and aging out and dying off is certainly a thing in car club circles with which I'm acquainted, @ 66 I'm on the younger end of my Studebaker club, there are people up to a full generation or more younger but most of them are older than me.

The most surprising thing about that list for me is that critics would go for Heavy Weather over earlier Weather Report but then pick the first Return to Forever over later

Nice car. I drive a '62 Studebaker. Like just drove it downtown and back to pick something up an hour ago. It has power brakes and steering but my '59 Stude did not. Probably a lot more front heavy than that MB. So no, it won't drive like a new car and I probably wouldn't use a car that expensive and rare as a daily driver. But it can be done. Modern radials pumped up half way hard will improve the steering.
