Up!

If people want to go long, that's fine, but there's certainly something to be said for brevity - I'd be far more likely to take an active part if it was less time consuming, even just listening and commenting to a full CDs worth eats up a couple of hours at least.

Maybe some months we could have mini-tests of just a few tunes some months, a full-scale test is a lot of work.

Long history of 'guilt oscars' where they give it to the one they snubbed previously.

Quite possibly the only things I have in common with him, went to law school and drove cab (at different times, in my case).

http://pdxjazz.com/event/universal-consciousness/ I saw this show last Sat, Sanders may have 'lost a step' but he's still an imposing presence and the rest of the band was quite fine too.

Maybe they were being sloppy with dates, maybe not - in '68 many people were still in '63 if you get what I mean.

isn't the Don Byas with Bud Powell part of this series?

I wear coat & tie to work at the library even though almost nobody else does, it's comfortable for me. People call it a suit, but it's not, non-matching dress slacks. jeans and flannel over t-shirt on weekends.

Twice, I think, but I got to talk to Bob...

and Lou D's Here 'Tis w/Willette has also been reissued, including a bonus cut in the recent Jap edition.

Did he play on "Rescue Me" by Fontella Bass, that would be earlier, IIRC. Better too.

Good deal, glad to hear it.

FWIW, Signe was a Portland Rose Festival Princess.

Thanks, for what it's worth JazzTimes loved it, Downbeat not so much.

Guess this would be a good time to win the lottery!

Ogerman is credited on Drifters singles (reissues on Atlantic) in my collection, that's how I knew.

I was in my local Bricks & Mortar (Music Millennium, Portland OR) last night and they happened to be playing the Epic, so I talked to the guys working there about it (one of whom I've know for years, one not). They were both enthusiastic about it: both personally and because it was selling well for them. My older friend said he was selling it mostly to older guys and the younger clerk said he was selling it to younger peeps. I enjoyed it well enuff while I was shopping, didn't buy anything and went home and listened to Pharaoh Sanders.

Thanks for the heads up! (HutchFan)
