RIP, I found his autobio a worthwhile read, not just his rags to riches rise but it touched on many different aspects of life in these united states in the 20th century.

Got this new album the other day, it's not A Song I Thought I Heard Buddy Bolden Sing, but it's good.

If Stanley or another name horn player was on 'em I think they might've been reissued.

I met a young lady years ago who had dedicated herself to playing exclusively alto clarinet, not surprisingly I never hear from or of her again. Beautiful instrument.

'...But a lot of music doesn't swing that "swings".' And vice versa. as to young Joey, I listened to this hardly the worst Monk I've heard, pretty darned good actually, but worlds shy of being Monk and making that shit up.

didn't Shirley do 2 tribs to Horace, or was that Duke? I have everything Stanley did on BN, plus some of Shirley's on Impulse! and Atlantic (love what they did with the 5 Royales' "Th.ink"), need to get her Prestige stuff. My fav so far may be Dearly Beloved with just her, ST and a drummer, the first side is brilliantly programmed. My fav organ group remains McDuff's with Joe Dukes, Geo. Benson, and Red Holloway

Merry, very!

Living large!

No, I think the last three 'bonus tracks' are from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comin%27_On! If the misssing tracks from Mintons were found and issued, it would be MAJOR, IMHO...

I was there!

Dude, that's range!

Love hearing Ronnie play that lick on this! But my fav bearytone player is probably Cecil Payne. 'nother tune not generally associated with baritones...

A Lee Morgan movie with nary a mention of the Sidewinder strikes me as strange, if not downright dishonest - maybe even more so than avoiding how he died....

As is the Drifter's "There Goes My Baby", IIRC.

Just in case you decide you need it all, it's not all great but this box is a labour of love and there are some hidden gems post-King Records.

Is Derek Baily's Ballads obscure snuff? Or Rava's On the Dance floor?

Truly a visionary, RIP.

My only problem with downbeat's Hall of Fame is that Ray Charles isn't in - if anyone is 'Jazz, Blues & Beyond' (as it says on the mast head) it's him...and yes, I think he's a genius.

By the standards proposed here, Earl Scruggs was a genius. Not that I have a problem with that, not at all.

I'm not usually down with the renaming mania, which we have a lot of in Portland generally and at Multnomah County Library specifically. but in this case I'm ok with it because there's a real connection between the thing and the person for which it will be renamed.

Interesting that this is being done, or trying to be done, when there's no Smithsonian history of Rock 'n Soul, Rhythm & Blues, whatever yet - I've daydreamed about doing it but it would be impossible to satisfy everyone, in fact to do a good job you'd have to have a point of view (or three) and be willing to piss people off, otherwise it would be too bland 9have I put enough halfbaked ideas in one sentence yet?). Or, did I miss something?

The Hip had 11 #1 albums in Canada, according to my sources there!

I've got that, One side In one side Out, both the in and the out are quite nice, IIRC.

I like, yours?
