IMHO, one of the great live albums.

You know it's not the team I love so much as the province, particularly Saskatoon.

Go Roughies!

The new mix is good, anything that helps me hear it fresh-ish w/out just being weird is good, and the outtakes...well how they made the two takes of SFF fit is a miracle but other than that not so interesting.

Fine player, well loved by her peers, and by all accounts a fine person too. Younger than I, so sad.

he's also on Hank M's Thinking of Home, and sounds great there.

I think it was just that Phil was there, and someone needed to play that there guitar, so he did. IMHO, the solo works well enuff in the context of that record.

My memory is that the guitar solo on the Drifter's "On Broadway" is Phil, and that he once expressed an interest in producing Sonny Rollins.

Is it me, or does the usage of 'rift' above seem quite strange to anyone else here?

Reputedly they did,k it was recorded, Clifford's widow has the tapes, reputedly - not like I'd know.

They should've named a spy novel/movie after him.

I've come to appreciate his work much more recently. RIP.

FWIW, in my limited personal experience I found Bob K to be perhaps 'gruff' on the surface but basically friendly and willing to discuss internal business with me, a random customer.

I believe it's Willis 'Gator Tail' Jackson, but I'm not where I can check my source at the moment.

I'll take your word for it...

The kaleidoscope kovers series, got me some of them back in the day. Love the clovers!(klovers!?) think I have dang near everything they did for Atlantic one way or another, but v. little else.

...and I want one, a C-soprano that is.

Cool Struttin' is a fine a fine album, not but any more so than Clark's others on BN or any number of his sideman appearances - if I had to rank/rate it I'd say sold 'B' but that's all. Stil a B level Sonny Clark BN is a beautiful thing. Love Jackie Mac's sound, I don't recall his intonation being particularly off here, at least not as much as it sometime can be (the edge on his sound can get a little raw, for lack of a better term, and what's this about his being flat - if anything I thought he was sharp?). The perfect Sonny Clark date is the one he didn't get to make with Shorter, Dolphy & Williams!

I've never seen this packaging before, where is it from?

Bringing It All Back Home (and related?), IIRC.

So did I, here in Oregon - so it was 'released' by my definition...

Interested in your reaction. I loved it when I read it (when it was new) but even then I didn't think it was as good as the excerpts in Musician some years earlier had promised.

Now if someone found recordings of that band with hank, I might actually go to Record Store Day for that!

A soprano is in B flat an octave above a tenor and a sopranino is in e flat an octave above an alto, and hence it's even tinier.
