To recap , Danielle has posted her picture , her age , and where she goes to school . This means she is either a foolish young girl, or an FBI online sting operation ; let's hope for Rod's sake it's not the latter
She's not a kid - she's 14.

Ever hear of Earl "Snake Hips" Tucker??? I think I heard of someone else who used the moniker Snake Hips, but this guy is amazing!!! And the music ain't bad either.
Earl "Snake Hips" Tucker, 1930
The present-day 'Snake Hips' has to be this guy : David Bernal .

Does anyone have graphics of the original covers (Jazz Frontier and Two-Note Samba) that they can post here?
Well , the CD used the cover from the original Jazz Frontier LP :
The cover of the other LP , Two Note Samba , looked like this :
Musically I find these records a tad workmanlike and generic sounding . The Latin numbers aren't particularly fresh either . These are not bad records , just not top-shelf for me . The group's version of The Clan had me reaching for the original version on Curtis Fuller's Soul Trombone .

According to Noal Cohen's Charles discography , not only the TCB reissue , but the Collectables and Lonehill CDs contain edited versions of some tracks . Apparently the only complete and unedited CD issue of this session is on a limited-edtion ( 2000 copies ) Italian CD called , ' Booker Little & Teddy Charles Group Live -The Complete Concert ' ( Jazz View 032 1991 )
Well good thing I said 'apparently' , because there is one other CD which has all seven tracks in unedited form :
This CD undoubtedly has better sound than the sonically-poor Jazz View CD . But even better sound isn't likely to change the odd helium-timbre of Teddy's voice !

As for the comment about 'moderate' profits....Why do people without money want people that have it, not make 'too much'? Trust me a little...in my previous life as an Accountant, I had many clients, Park Avenue duplexes and all that, and trust me, they are just as unhappy as the rest of us. 'Money does not....' So forget about that.
Trust you a little ? No , your straw-man refutation evinces too much disingenuousness for that .
No 'politics of envy' going on here . Unequal distributions of economic resources generate unequal distributions of political resources ; economic freedom undermines political equality .

I have three Pat Thomas lps, the Strand and two MGM lps. Desafinado is the most fun of the three, with its infectious bossa nova grooves, but I do like the Strand one as well. The Moody date (the other MGM lp) is decent vocal jazz. I had no idea who the personnel were on the Strand!
And the above post also led me to look in Google for material on the two MGM LPs. At a Lalo Schifrin discography I was very interested to see that _Desafinado_ includes "I Wish You Love" because when I got the Strand LP, Thomas's voice reminded me of Gloria Lynn's hit (c. 1965) on that number. It still does, but I don't disagree with Chas when he mentions a touch of Nina.
Of the two MGM dates , this one is currently available on Japanese CD :
It has been available through Dusty Groove .
Thomas' Strand date has also seen reissue on Japanese CD and is currently available from Fresh Sound . Lord gives the recording date for Thomas' Strand date as '59-60' . However it was not until June 7th , 1962 that it got reviewed in Downbeat . In giving the album four stars John A. Tynan had this to say ,
" Miss Thomas is a 21 year-old Chicagoan who makes her singing debut with this winning set of good songs well sung . She is as much a " jazz singer " as are many of her contemporaries who lay claim to the classification without nearly so much to offer as Miss Thomas . Her voice is warm and true with the perhaps inevitable overlay of Sarah Vaughan influence . Although Mort Goode writes in the liner notes that her favorite female singer is Ella Fitzgerald , any vocal similarity thereto is not in evidence here . But Miss Thomas has style and imagination , and that adds up to much promise for a career as a singer . It is too bad that the sidemen are unidentified , for their performances on the various tracks are uniformly good . The different instruments are featured in the variety of songs offered--there is good trombone on Sometimes I'm Happy and It Could Happen , better-than-average piano on Mean to Me , a swinging vibes solo on Being in Love , some excellent guitar on Another You and Only Love , and some commendable flute solo work on Blue Room . Miss Thomas' weaknesses are evident in two songs , the very brief Stella--one chorus with vibes background--and the customary racing-tempoed Strike Up the Band . On the former , she takes off into exaggerated jazz phrasing , and one is left with the feeling that she should have taken the song at its own superbly melodic face value ; as for Strike , the impresssion persists that the tempo proved too awkward for the singer , and she seems glad to get it over with .

The sweetest meat is closest to the clone...
The real ructions will not be over cloned meat , but rather In Vitro meat . And it's not the ALF or PETA that will raise a ruckus but rather carnivores , who know that without fat or bone , meat is a lot less toothsome .

Doesn't exactly match your description , but there can't be too many films with scenes like that !
Film : HIDEOUS
EDIT : I like Guy's guess better . Haven't seen the Makavejev film in ages , but such a scene wouldn't be out of place !

The voice of Snidely Whiplash was Hans Conreid. I remember seeing him in a bizarre live-action Dr. Suess film called "The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T", which was an interesting and strange film. Anyone else see that one?
Yes , a classic that one , highlighted by the wonderfully imaginative musical dance number in the dungeon ! The clip of it on YouTube doesn't do it justice , as the original Technicolor is poorly rendered .
Speaking of bizarre , I would nominate the Banana Splits as the strangest Hanna-Barbera production .

That was actually a thread about Caspar David Friedrich disguised as ECM thread.
Be that as it may , there are some ECM recommendations/favorites in that thread .
I'm still pretty sure there's been at least one other thread about ECM recommendations (I picked a bad week to stop taking hallucinogens), with some very good recommendations in it already.
Quite right . Here are some other ECM threads :

aggie, stop busting the poor persons balls! it ain't a big deal.
FWIW , I don't view talking about other similar threads or linking to them as an implicit criticism of the thread starter . Just trying to be helpful .

Not sure, but I'm guessing we've already done this thread. I don't know how to search for it, unfortunately, since ECM is just three letters.

"Away beyond the hills in Idaho
Where yawning canyons greet the sun
As it smiles above the trees in Idaho
To say another night is done
Warm summer winds toss the waving grain
Calling me back to my home again
To dream sweet memories of long ago
Beyond the hills in Idaho"

The mute makes identification a little more difficult , but the phrasing on the bridge does sound like Booker Little . Singer has a touch of Nina about her .
I very much appreciate your posts in this thread Mark

Inner City may have repackaged and reissued a lot of music , but they were the first to issue Elmo Hope's Last Sessions .
I remember how excited I was to find those two LPs . Really grateful I was .

I have to say that I don't find the music on this record 'superb' .
I say this as one who genuinely likes the Moodsville jazz-even-your-wife-will-like concept . Since I like pretty much all of the artists who recorded albums for the series , I discriminate on the basis of the selection of tunes chosen . By that measure this record is not among the best of the series in my view.
As noted above , the CD has in additon to Everything's Mellow , Terry's version of the score from Mel Brooks' musical All-American . The score from this less-than-successful broadway show is not memorable . I would love to have heard the band ( which includes Budd Johnson , George Barrow and Eddie Costa ! ) playing different material .
The CD doesn't sport either of the two original covers . Since this is the vinyl forum , here is what your quarry looks like should you wish to hunt them down :

I came to the HSQ through Spud Murphy's GNP side that features 3 of the 4 members . Their playing on that recording had me looking for their Liberty records , especially their second one 'Warm Winds' , which features more Spud Murphy charts . When I finally heard that record I was mildly disappointed to find that Spud's charts were more classical than jazz in nature . Still pretty interesting music , but I prefer the intricate ensemble swing and rhythmic brio found on the GNP record as well as on HSQ's self-titled debut on Liberty , and on their third Liberty LP 'Sax Appeal' . Their fourth and final record 'French Impressions' on Verve, is classical and not jazz . The group had a readily recognizable sound , due in part to the tone and vibrato of Russ Cheever's soprano which imparted a particular harmonic color to the ensembles .
Those fond of the Niehaus octets or chamber jazz in general , will want to bend an ear in the direction of these podcasts : >>CLICK<<
