https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfollv1111I seveeral more from Buddy as well, IIRC

My memory is that in the 70s Lagers and Pilsners were the biggest sellers but that Ales like Molson's Export and Labatts '50' were significant sellers. Molsons and Labatts both made Stouts as well, but they were not big sellers. In Saskatchewan, all of this would apply to bottle sales only, as we had 'pool' draft ( a unique Sask thing, I believe). I think ales may have outsold Lagers and Pilsners further east in Canadia.

the first side of this with diz, bud and Roy Haynes, including Round Midnight and my fav version of Night in Tunesia

In my youth, there were many older houses in Saskatoon which had kitchen drawer handles which functioned quite well as beer bottle openers.

...and Hey There +10 is mostly Babes Blues (minus the tune "Babes Blues"), but it does have the previously unissued Billy Boy and I don't have Hey There itself, so...maybe I'll get it.

So, you've got me intrigued, who else is on this album with Sir Charles & Percy? And I love Roy Haynes!

Here Tis has '+1', guess I'll find out how much I'll pay for just a little more of Lou & Grant & Babyface...

That would be hot air, right?

That's why the CFL season isn't any longer!

...and you still don't need the Weathermen to know which way the wind blows!

The whole Newborn family were deeply intwined in Memphis music, some of the early Stax guys worked with Phineas Sr.

So, this is going to be some 'inside' music...?

And didn't Buddy DeFranco do an album under L. Feather's auspecies on Bass clarinet with the then current Jazz Messengers? I think I own this...or maybe it was a dream?

"It's not like the man was Herman Lubinsky or something." RIP, he helped Monk get to where he could get some $.

Love what Bennie Maupin did on bass clarinte in an ensemble role on Bitches Brew...

Sam Rivers did some interesting things with his bass clarinet before someone stole it.

Can't argue with that, wouldn't want to.

Glyn Johns, Sound Man. Enjoyable but not very insightful on the people or very detailed on the technical end. Claims he was the first UK engineer to make the transition to producer. Some interesting observations on the many musicians and industry people he's met. Not afraid to say he doesn't like someone. I think he can afford to be candid.

What?! You mean Tuesday is no longer my good news day? When I worked in record stores that was how you knew a customer was really hardcore, if they knew Tues was new release day (in north America).

Love this, it's on one o' them X,000 Volts of Stax things I have, no doubt partially 'cause I been there, felt that... Your`re right, this one is from the "3000 Volts of Stax" compilation and there is another great alternative take featured on V.A "Don`t disturb my Soul - Gospel of Chalice" (Ace) released in1991.....and agreed, this recording never fails to move me....a close second from the same source IMO is "Assassination"... The Evans/King version of "I Can't Win" from Ry Cooder's Bop Til You Drop has been known to have a similar effect on me.

Yes and no, or maybe that should be no and yes - I lived there (Saskatoon) a long time ago and still have friends and family there and visit as often as possible, but I was born here in the States and am not a dual citizen, unfortunately.

He did a New Years best of on TV a few years back that I saw by chance and it was quite nice. i should seek it out online, but usually I forget.
