Thank you for that, Jesus Christ in a Manger I love doo wop!

Dude, I so totally agree with you here that it's scary! An interesting (IMHO) thing that came up in a similar discussion on another forum was that most ardent prog fans are NOT really big on basic early rock 'n roll. Or, in my experience of having lived through this in real time in The Paris of the Prairies, is that most of 'em aren't really big blues fans either. Given that the Hall o' Fame at least claims to value those two things highly, their choices aren't that surprising. On the other hand, if we just take the practical approach of do they have 'a sound of their own' that some significant portion of the fandom can recognize, them most name prog bands qualify as do the Zombies who had latent prog tendencies...feeling reconciliatory today, I am. 'Trane as an influence makes as much sense as Miles. And Little Walter should be in as a leader as well as a sideman.

As I think I've mentioned before, met Perry a few times and played with him once. Wonderful guy.

kinda atypical, but it shows his tone off nicely

Given that I love Stand!, I'm thinking I'll dig this too.

The masthead says 'jazz, blues and beyond', Ray Charles is all that.

Saw BW with his band Horizon(s) twice in the Twinn Cities nearly 30 years ago, totally smoking. Records ok but none I've heard as good as those gogs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoWHHqeHQbo Eddie Hinton, don't know if this 45 was ever on an album.

Surely Ray Charles' less-than-big bands fit this description?

up for an answer, I hope.

I really like the charts Overtone wrote for Monk, am I wrong in remembering there was a third set written after the two concerts that were recorded. This later set may not have been recorded but survive?

Talked to him on the phone once (he called me!). Pleasant chat about BN and jazz in general, don't recall much detail now, 25 years later. Thanks for everything.

KD wrote wonderfully and his work with Joe Hen makes for a great frontline contrast. Beyond that I don't feel qualified to comment, except to say the life story seems impossibly sad.

I've heard Lee Morgan's "Blues For Mr. Tatum" and it's unissued sessionmate from the date mentioned above, perfectly listenable if 2nd string.

just bought my first 6 pack of Oktoberfest (Nikasi) for this year.

I think so.

Hal Wilner's masterpiece.

It should surprise no one here that I'm not a big fan of CTI generally, but I do like some - the aforementioned Outback, Moon Germs, Sunflower, Concerto, and I'm sure I've forgotten something. Not FH or ST on the label generally, not horrid just kinda lifeless.

both sessions represented here are quite nice.

I voted for Ray Charles for the db Hall of Fame.

Back to the matter at hand, listened some on YouTube, will definitely get, probably the deluxe on CD. Wish I was hearing new music even in this ballpark - JD Allen's Graphitti is the best sax of this century to my ears and it's just standing on the sidewalk outside 'Trane's ballpark.
