Just scored this one in a local pawn emporium, during my lunch break. The other side is MONY MONY

Some quick thoughts from Quincy Jones on the subject of playing for all kinds of audiences . https://tedpanken.wordpress.com/2011/10/13/a-1996-wkcr-interview-with-ray-brown-born-85-years-ago-today/ He's talking about Ray Brown - “After he moved to Los Angeles, we started working a lot together,” said Quincy Jones. “We got closer and closer. After a while, Ray started to take care of booking gigs and travel. He was an astute businessman. Old school played everything. We all played chitlin’ circuits. And you didn’t sit around whining about what you had to play, man. You played it, and tried to make it all sound good. That’s what I loved about Ray. That’s where I think our chord struck, in being very curious about what the business side of it was and not wanting to be a victim. We wanted to be more in charge of our own destinies. “A man never plays more or less than they are as a human being, and Ray was a very confident, take-charge person. He played bass like that and lived like that. He ate 17 different dishes like that. Wherever we were, whatever was good, Ray knew what it was. He’d probably eat a 249-pound catfish if he tried! To me, he was the absolute symbol that if you empty your cup every time and learn to make it a habit, it always comes back twice as full. Give it up every time, man. Don’t save nothin’. I learned more and more about that from him all the time. In everything.”

We're talking about a box set here...

Bebop, that's a great one! This cover has a VU meter, so that's lab equipment material.

This cover isn't featuring a piece of lab equipment, but the album title is a pun on 'Bunsen burner', which is a staple in every chemistry lab.

duaneiac, Graas is very very good! DESCENDENTS - Hypercaffium Spazzinate Rick Springfield - Rocket Science

Quality over quantity! Tal Farlow - Trinity Chet Atkins' Workshop

Got the Larry Young. Awesome stuff, and packed just right. Thanks a lot.

I bet these sell well in New Orleans.

Primus inter pares. I like this one. Rings true more than ever these days.

Jim, you have become a defacto forum necrologist.

Thanks for the heads up on the SPL. I'll bring ear protection. I see your point in being too close to the stage.

Bela de Kristo “Jazz Trio” Asking $10,000 That's cool. He sketches them during gigs, and has the musicians autograph them? There was an old guy about 15 years ago painting live gigs during Vision Festival, and selling them on the spot. They all looked the same to me. These are much better.

After-parties? At the venue?
