Buono was in the pilot, he really camped it up. An even worse film made after a series ended was “Homcide: Life on the Streets.” Every regular cast member was included, even those whose characters were killed off or written out. But the writing and the plot line were very unsatisfactory, especially the ending.

I will stick with August, thanks!

I was surprised that this series only ran four seasons, I could have sworn it was longer. I don't know if I started watching it during season 2 or 3, but none of the season 1 shows bring back any memories. I just finished the 24th episode of season 1. I get a kick out of the guest stars, which include Michael Dunn as Dr. Miguelito Loveless (a recurring villain), his henchman Voltaire (played by Richard Kiel), others included Don Rickles as a Satanic magician, Burgess Meredith, John Dehner and a lot of veteran character actors whose faces I knew though not necessarily their names. The fight scenes are low budget, as Robert Conrad did his own stunts, but the doubles for the guest star villains were about as believable as those fighting Captain Kirk on the original Star Trek series.

I am not sure. The reason for my email was to suggest changing the estimated delivery time, not to ask for a shipping cost adjustment.

Good news! I emailed Dusty Groove about USPS incompetence and received a $10.90 credit since the order didn’t arrive within the delivery window. They take care of customers!

Warning to those shopping at Dusty Groove: Take their delivery estimate with a grain of salt for Express Mail. The USPS is screwing things up like my package is media mail. It bounced around the Chicago are for several days, made it to Knoxville, Chattanooga, then rerouted to Nashville. Maybe I will get it a week after it was shipped. They must throw stuff in random bins for fun.

Still awaiting my copy of the CD and getting paid for the liner notes. For some reason, the label won't use PayPal or any similar options, though they are paying the wire transfer fee.

Years ago I remember running into a Warner Bros. label rep at a jazz conference and asked why they didn't do a retake or edit on one recent George Benson album, where he started singing when he wasn't supposed to, stopped and they released it like that. I got a dumb answer, "We liked the overall feeling of the take." I knew it was this LP but I was away from my computer and Discogs searches are troublesome on my phone.

Benson appears on several tracks on a Columbia LP that was a part of a special series of unissued recordings.

Tom Lord’s Jazz Discography is also useful for such a project, though you have to subscribe or buy a static CD-Rom

If you want to make an offer if you think a title is priced too high, feel free to PM me. The Stan Getz and Tony Purrone CDs have been requested.

I remember writing a nasty review of a Japanese Nat King Cole jazz trio CD featuring tracks that sounded like they were dubbed from a worn LP. To top it off, it was a later reissue that added overdubbed strings. The label owner sent me a snippy email CD claiming that he sourced them from the original master tapes.

Hopefully out of business. I avoided those ugly looking LPs suspecting that they were low budget crap.

Yeah, excessive applause and announcements being edited from the tracks can really shorten track length.

Track 1 “Fantazm,” written by Duke Ellington John La Barbera Big Band: Fantazm (Jazz Compass) Soloists: Pat La Barbera: soprano saxophone; Bill Cunliffe: piano; Bob Carr: bass clarinet Joe La Barbera, the drummer in the last Bill Evans Trio, also is present in the band. He, John & Pat are brothers. One of Duke Ellington’s lesser known works dating from the 1940s. Track 2 Trouble is a Man, by Alec Wilder Coleman Hawkins: At Ease With Coleman Hawkins (Prestige/Moodsville RVG Remasters) Coleman Hawkins: tenor saxophone; Tommy Flanagan: piano; Wendell Marshall: bass; Osie Johnson: drums Track 3 Manhã de Carnaval, by Luiz Bonfá & Antônio Maria Terry Gibbs: Bopstacle Course (Xanadu) Terry Gibbs: vibes; Barry Harris: piano; Sam Jones: bass; Alan Dawson: drums Track 4 “We See…We Believe,” the last segment from “Discovery,” the first section of “The Lost Cathedral,” by Bud Shank Bud Shank: The Lost Cathedral (ITM) I learned about this recording when I interviewed Bud Shank a number of years ago. He was very enthusiastic about the project. A group of performers climbed into an abandoned cistern and were recorded as they improvised to take advantage of the unique reverb in July 1991. They include: Jay Clayton: vocals; Dick Oatts: soprano saxophone; Bobby Shew: trumpet; Jiggs Whjigham: trombone; Bill Ramsay: baritone saxophone. Bud Shank “conducted” them by flashlight. The tape was then used for background in a 1992 concert in Port Townsend, Washington, featuring a band led by Bud Shank (alto saxophone) with Dave Peck (piano), Chuck Deardorf (bass), Dean Hodges (drums) and Gary Gibson (percussion). Track 5 7:18 The Midgets, by Frank Wess and Joe Newman Lewis Nash & Be-Bop All Stars Featuring Frank Wess (Solid/All Art) Lewis Nash: drums; Frank Wess: flute, Terell Stafford: trumpet; Jesse Davis: alto saxophone; Mulgrew Miller: piano; Peter Washington: bass I always have to sneak in at least one Japanese import since not everyone has the opportunity to hear many of them. Track 6 3:05 Any Old Time, by Artie Shaw George Romanis and His Orchestra: East Coast Series, from the LP Sound in Motion (Fresh Sound) Ernie Royal, Doc Severinsen, John Bello, Clark Terry (solo), Nick Travis, Jimmy Maxwell, Jimmy Nottingham: trumpets; Urbie Green, John Mesner, Wayne Andre, Frank Rehak: trombones; Paul Faulise: bass trombone; Don Butterfield: tuba; Tommy Newsom: piccolo & flute; Eddie Costa: vibes; Barry Galbraith: guitar; Chuck Wayne: rhythm guitar; George Duvivier: bass; Mousie Alexander: drums, Bunny Shawker: percussion This track borders on easy listening, but the supporting cast is great and Clark Terry’s trumpet is immediately recognizable. Track 7 8:03 Alone Together, by Arthur Schwartz & Howard Dietz from Tough Young Tenors (Antilles) James Carter: tenor saxophone; Herb Harris: tenor saxophone; Marcus Roberts: piano; Reginald Veal: bass; Ben Riley: drums A CD featuring five young tenor saxophonists in different combinations and alone with the rhythm section, issued in 1991. James Carter is the only one who has risen to prominence. Track 8 6:51 46:00 What News, by Reg Schwager, based on Bob Haggart’s “What’s New” The Don Thompson Quartet: Winter Mist (The Jazz Alliance) Don Thompson: vibes; Reg Schwager: guitar; Pat Collins: bass; Barry Elmes: drums I enjoyed getting to see Don Thompson in multiple roles while I was in Toronto for IAJE in 2003. He played bass with Marian McPartland at the conference and led a big band at the old Montreal Jazz Bistro where he played both piano and vibes. Track 9 6:26 52:30 “Winter of My Discontent,” by Alec Wilder Vic Juris: Music of Alec Wilder (Double Time Jazz) Vic Juris: guitar; David Liebman: tenor saxophone, Steve LaSpina: bass; Jeff Hirschfield: drums Marian McPartland wasn’t the only musician who was a huge fan of Alec Wilder as a composer. The late Vic Juris deserves wider appreciation, as much of his discography was recorded for either small or European labels, while he made his mark in numerous bands as a sideman. The only time I got to hear him was at Dizzy’s in the fall of 2019 a few months prior to his death, playing in the Rufus Reid Big Band. Of course, Juris has a long association with Liebman. Track 10 4:17 57:00 Melancholia (mislabeled Melancholy), by Duke Ellington Joe Van Enkhuisen & Horace Parlan: Ellington Ballads (Timeless) Joe Van Enkhuisen: tenor saxophone; Horace Parlan; piano Something a bit off the beated path that I picked up from a fellow Organissimo board member. I don’t know much about the saxophonist, I picked it up because Parlan was on it and I didn’t recall that many duo recordings in his discography. Track 11 6:23 63:30 Blood Count, by Billy Strayhorn Mat Marucci: Ulterior Motif (Jazz Inspiration) Mat Marucci: drums, John Tchicai: tenor saxophone; Aaron Garner: piano; Al Bent: bass I’ve been in touch with drummer Mat Marucci since shortly after I reviewed this 1998 CD and disagreed with the inclusion of Sheryl Crow’s lame pop hit “All I Really Wanna Do.” He is a big fan of the late John Tchicai so I thought it would be to include something a little more mainstream by the saxophonist. Track 12 6:50 Peace, by Horace Silver Jasper Van ’T Hof, At the Concertgebouw - Solo (Challenge) This pianist and organist covers a lot of styles, but I thought this arrangement was a nice change of pace from his typical recordings. Track 13 7:37 “Before You Left,” by Phil Woods, a contrafact of “After You’ve Gone.” Phil Woods Featuring Johnny Griffin: The Rev & I (Blue Note) Phil Woods: alto saxophone; Johnny Griffin: tenor saxophone; Cedar Walton: piano; Peter Washington: bass; Ben Riley: drums Phil Woods’ sole CD as a leader for Blue Note. I am a huge fan of his work and he was a fun interview for me.

I remember when Hurricane Donna hit Dade County, Florida in 1960. Two junior high age kids next door were out playing in the the middle of the storm, apparently unaware that the high winds can turn many loose objects into lethal weapons.

Good news!

We have wide distances between houses in our subdivision, I would be surprised if any of our neighbors could hear it while indoors. We can sleep with it running and it is outside the master bedroom. The power outages in Tennessee have been longer in duration than those from hurricanes (Donna and Cleo) that I rode out in South Florida as a youth. Back in 1993 in our first house we had no water for three days due to a blizzard that cut power to the pumping station. Hopefully the water utility has a generator now. Most alarm systems include battery backup as part of their system. So you are still monitored while the power is out. Generators aren’t for everyone but I don’t care to endure days without power in the heat and humidity or extreme cold. The geniuses at the power company triggered a “10-15 minute rolling blackout” last Christmas Eve to reduce stress on the electrical grid. Our generator ran for over four hours and people elsewhere in the county had no power for between 7 and 24 hours. Too bad if you had medical equipment that required power and no generator. My wife had just had a knee placement ten days earlier and both pieces of medical equipment would have been useless without power.

They come in a range of sizes, you can decide how much of your house that you want to have backup power. Ours isn’t horribly noisy. Having one eliminates the need to set up a portable unit in the middle of the night in the midst of a storm or bad weather, while you also have power backup when you aren’t home. We invested in a unit large enough to power the whole house and went through a Generac authorized dealer to get one big enough to handle the total square footage. Even tough our subdivision has underground utilities, the feeder lines on the street outside our subdivision are surrounded by thousands of trees, some of which inevitably fall on them during high winds.
