  1. Yeah, but without them you'd still be going to hell, just on a much worse road!
  2. a better question might be, does this book's author write about Bud as 'black music' in an intelligent, insightful, nuanced way or not so much...
  3. No more surprising than Sam Rivers doing an organ date or an album of standards
  4. I have In the Land of Giants on vinyl - I find it to be fully as wonderful as any of the albums under Booker's name with Jaki Byard.
  5. Why not? Hoping for a response (which it got this time) and in case anyone else has the chance to see him soon to encourage them to do so.
  6. 1st Lark was totaled some time ago, parts car at my mechanics now, and I'm still driving my second lar - longer WB '62 cruiser, heavier, PS, PB (Avati discs in front), 289 v. 259, worse mileage, much softer car but still a lot of fun.
  7. 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.
  8. Maybe some months we could have mini-tests of just a few tunes some months, a full-scale test is a lot of work.
  9. Long history of 'guilt oscars' where they give it to the one they snubbed previously.
  10. Quite possibly the only things I have in common with him, went to law school and drove cab (at different times, in my case).
  11. 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.
  12. http://variety.com/2016/film/awards/italy-cheers-ennio-morricone-oscar-for-hateful-eight-score-1201718070/
  13. Maybe they were being sloppy with dates, maybe not - in '68 many people were still in '63 if you get what I mean.
  14. isn't the Don Byas with Bud Powell part of this series?
  15. 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.
  16. Twice, I think, but I got to talk to Bob...
  17. and Lou D's Here 'Tis w/Willette has also been reissued, including a bonus cut in the recent Jap edition.
  18. Did he play on "Rescue Me" by Fontella Bass, that would be earlier, IIRC. Better too.
  19. http://www.mercurynews.com/music/ci_29470126/bay-area-guitarist-jackie-king-who-played-willie
  20. Good deal, glad to hear it.
  21. FWIW, Signe was a Portland Rose Festival Princess.
  22. Thanks, for what it's worth JazzTimes loved it, Downbeat not so much.
