Where is that 'all is forgiven, I really like you' emoticon when you need it. Rufus, whom I met once, was an interesting guy.

Almost seems like cheating, part of doing a tribute is selecting which ones to do....

Then gimme a tuba, or a Sousaphone, or better yet a bass sax. Try bowing that!

No, put that bow away!

OK, but he's Wilbur Ware....

groovalicious

Or that he liked everything except the solos, who likes bass solos?

maybe not what they were going for?

What's yer prob with 'Bout Soul, the poetry the drumming or something else? But yeah, they did a great job of documenting Jackie Mac.

Just listening to this (from 1959) with its crazy 3-2-1 2-1 1 vamp, it would be the height of hip iff it weren't for the even heightier stuff that came after.

Getting there.

Amen to what they said.

Glad to not be a part of it, assume you are too.

There are no good or bad or 'annoying' instruments, it's just the asshole playing them, or listening(not). Seriously, instrumental prejudices are just like other prejudices....

Thanks for the heads up on this.

1923 is PD now, you could put out your own set on 78s for Record Store Day! Package deal with bathtub gin!

Zev doesn't seem like someone I'd want to hang out with, but his relentless self-promotion has helped Resonance and should help BN get some attention for whatever they put out. There's stuff still in the vaults I'd like to see out (I've heard Morgan's Blues for Mr. Tatum and I think it's fine) and live recordings of combos with no official live recordings would be nice too. So, I'm guardedly optimistic.

Cecile don't grab me, but she don't push me away either. My two favs from last year (Halvorson and Frisell's Johnny Smith trib and Lonnie Smith's live one aren't on it, so screw 'em eh?

Mr. Jarman made huge contributions to music which people are going to be dealing with for a long time to come and you helped this happen Chuck. Thanks to both of you.

Where'd you get the bonus track version of Her 'Tis and how much, if you don't mind me asking?

What he said, all of it. And more.

I've always heard it was Willis 'Gatortail' Jackson, he did a number of sessions for Atlantic in that period and was married to their star, Ruth Brown. sounds like him to me.

I agree that GG seems to have been pretty much all there from the start of his recording career. Do you agree that in the later Funk stuff it;s still the same guy, just in a different setting? Oh, and there is a lot to be learned from just leaving something in the changer and letting it come up whenever.
