What's the movie where Don plays a ventriloquist whose dummy is really his evil mutant twinn growing out of his leg who makes him kill women - creepiest thing I ever saw. His usual shtick was mild by comparison.

Maybe they have an ankle fetish?

That was fun!

So, whose lick is it 'really'?

Ace's Songs That Rocked the jukebox series chronicling R&B hits and Mrs. for various years is quite wonderful and I can only assume their other series for the later Soul years is equally good.

Are we sure we don't have an American date convention v. European issue - month/day/year v. day/month/year? Or, how 'bout this for a theory - if Grant really couldn't have been at Rudy's on 10/31/69 maybe that was an overdubbing session to add the percussion or something?

Not so odd, either they were trying to do an album and it really didn't go well, or (more likely) they were cutting a single and it wasn't issued at the time but was later added to the earlier album Love Bug (which has identical personnel IIRC) as a CD bonus track (after having been first issued on the Lost Grooves compilation. Best Sam & Dave cover on BN?

Interested to hear what you think then. Hope (and expect) you'll enjoy.

A distinctive voice, next to Jackie McLean the most alto sound ever.

I love that he worked as a barber before getting into the record biz.

Green Acid would have been a perfect name for an album during the Acid Jazz phase. and it's 'unissued', not rejected, as are the leftovers from Carryin' On, two Jimmie Web tunes which have never to my knowledge seen the light of day.

Don't really care what he thought of Dolphy 'cause I know what I think of Dolphy. Much enjoyed Who's(sic) Bridge, should pull it out for a listen.

Me too, my parents had it. The Time/Life 3 LP boxes deepened my love and understanding of pre-wwII stuff. A Charly 3 LP box of Sun stuff was also formative. Long ago and far away.

There's Andrew Hill's Passing Ships, but I think that was rejected for technical reasons which were, more or less, fixed. There are a few unissued sessions and stray tunes yet to see the light of day, more yet to see domestic release or reissue. So I wouldn't expect any rejected out soon.

Metheny has a bit of a history of playing (and playing well) on up and coming saxists' records, both Gary Thomas and Joshua Redman benefited from his presence.

Not necessarily my fav either, just thought it was interesting the way the article talked about Interstellar Space as if it was just a given that everyone loved it. FWIW It was the one that made me get late period 'Trane (to the limited extent that I would claim to do so).

As long as this has devolved into a discussion of all things Dexter, more or less, has anyone else noticed that the melody of "Soul Sister" (1st track Dexter Calling) is strikingly similar (IMHO) to that of "Juncko Partner"? and what's up with the cover of Dexter Calling? If it was any worse it'd be Prestige. Whatever the shortcomings of Prestige (Dexter's or anyone's) were, I don't think it was Alan Dawson's fault...IMHO he's one of the bright spots on the label! Our Man In Paris would be my fav DG.

Looking v. John Lennon here...

Makes me wish their pizza was better.
