Fine musician to be sure, but that Pop Goes the Weasel quote just grates every time I hear it, and I'm OK with quotes generally, so go figure...

BB&Q for $1.99 is a heck of a deal, Hal O also wrote at least one more set of arrangements for Monk, right?

Is that a Morgan he's driving?

Haven't heard these guys, but I'm intregued, partly because there have been a number of similar things done with various styles/periods of rock/R&B - e.g., 'Godfrey Daniels' who did a version of "Proud Mary" which started "old" and ended "real old". Haven't there been several jazz projects More or less along these lines recently?

Sounds like The Intro & the Outro by the Bonzo Dog DooDah Band...

If they did make some $ and hired session guys to play for them, it would be Mostly Other People Do the Playing

"my MGB-GT, she's a runner now" he should a full album of car 'n bike songs!

looks like an alto to me...

I think I was thinking of Freebo, but I'm not sure he ever worked with Taj...

Who was the dude who tubed with Taj years ago, went by some funny nickname?

If the pressence of walking, talking, fawking wannabes I sees everyday is the test, them Bettie Page is the pop icon of the 20th century!

It's the upscale part of the Kroger konglomerate, so the other parts should have it as well.

Mantle being affiliated with Monroe might've surprised Joe dimagio...

the Clapton tribute "For Jack" is simply an instrumental of one of the things they did together in Cream, is it not?

Ronnie Cuber is my pick for best baritone with an organ combo (why isn't there a Grammy for this?)

One more thing and then, hopefully, I'll be quiet about this - at least one reviewer has greeted this whateverthehellitis by simply reprinting his review of the original (or one of it's many reissues).

This is, indeed, sad and sobering news.

Do the Math has weighed in, not surprisingly they/he's in favor of this bit of (over) conceptualizing... People who don't get the original are perplexing to me, it's like you don't get, well, life. i hardly know where to begin that conversation, or if I even want to...

Jimmy giuffre also played nice baritone, when he played it.

...and all those organists who took care of bass-ics with their left hand and feets, esp'lly John Patton and Larry Young. I'll have to check to list some particularly grooving tunes.

and that dude who played bari for Motown (which they used more often than tenor, IIRC) - he rocked!

James Carter plays Bari (and Bass!) sax effectively on his Django tribute, Chasin' the Gypsy.

Kenny Dorham & Joe Henderson Hank Mobley & Lee Morgan Duane & Dickie Tommy Cogbill & Roger Hawkins Lester Young & Teddy Wilson & Jo Jones Muddy & Little Walter Wolf & Hubert Sumlin Magic Sam & Eddie Shaw

Saw some at my local QFC the other day.

I've long been aware that this gap-toothed girl named after the capitol of Saskatchewan could play her some fiddle. But this is the first full album of hers that really knocks me out - not because it's the biggest showcase for her virtuosity (playing Paginini's cannon did that), but because it feels personal - it gives me a feeling for who she is and where she's coming from. it's even replaced Pablo playing the Bach Cello Suites in my bedside boombox. Anyone else digging this? http://reginacarter.com/
