Poking around the web I found an interesting story 'bout him being involved in a thing in support of the UK miners strike because his folks had been miners too.

Etc. is just as unique as the others, only more subtly so, IMHO. One of the things I particularly dig about it is Cecil McBee. And it's not really just another mid-60s Wayne Shorter BlueNote, not Adams Apple pt II, despite the title, ti's way darker for starters...

Sonny, Blue 7

Eight?! Why not at least 10?

I thought Bird and Round Midnight were both pretty much a mess, don't expect much from the forthcoming Miles biopic, and generally wish Hollywood would leave jazz alone. Bill Moody's books were amusing til he had his protaganist dis Burt B... And focussing on how people died is morbid, but if you want to do that how about a Sam Cooke biopic, told from Bobby Womack's POV?

Paul Schaffer and the guys did this on Letterman last night and gave a little shout out to Jimmy and his brother.

Yes, i totally loved that before I had any idea who jimmy (and David) Ruffin were, or what it meant to be brokenhearted...morose fucker that I am.

I guess now we know what becomes of the brokenhearted.

Hey, he's a rookie - nobody told him he couldn't do it that way!

You've heard the later re-edit/remixes? In any case powerful, if slightly weird.

What he said.

It is indeed lovely, I also watched some more clips of Bobby Fuller, can anyone recommend a good compilation? Love how you froze the clip at the exact moment the closest dancer flips her skirt up!

Could it have been the Clovers? time period is right and sounds like something they might've done...they di do"Boo diddy boo dah do day"

Ray Price's Cherokee Cowboys Western Strings, $2.99 at Goodwill, nice 'n clean!

I felt that way when I saw Charlie Rich Sings Hank Williams the other day - just grabbed it up no hesitation.

Watching Night Music clips, mostly whole shows, amazingly good - no wonder I was willing to lose sleep to see them back in the day.

It's great that this lovely music is going to be heard by even more people now, but I'd rather not do business with Amazon and fortunately I have most of this. The Plugged Nickel is one of the most live 'live' things there is, proof that Miles was (as usual) totally right when he said that 'when they leave the mistakes in, that's when you've got real jazzz/music'...

Hey, Led Zep always did go for the big gestures, and Plant's got other fish to fry so good for him. Especially if he's already said so in private and was put on the spot being handed the contract in public, did they not sound him out first?

what are the bonus tracks, I have the LP

After Hours - I love that, played by anyone 'cause they all at least start it off the same.

Still listening to this on a regular basis and still digging it muchly, can't remember the last time that happened with something even more or less new...

I's like to meet this young lady, obviously, and converse with her about records for a few, but I don't know that I'd really want to know her. Not that either scenario has even half a chance of actually happening. Kind of obsessive, and she needs to eat more, but more than kinda interesting.

Both Lou and Lee Konitz are scheduled to play the 2015 Portland Jazz Fest, but not on the same show (Battle of the Alto Octogenarians!) that would be tempting fate too much. Perversely perhaps, but I'd love to hear them together.

i put up a little display in the library in which I work with some of our books and CDs and a parts horn belonging to me.

Mary Lou shoulda sued!
