Joyeux Anniversaire!

And this one got so close

Dexter Gordon - Doin' Madeleine Albright Art Blakey - Buddha's Delight Herbie Handcock - Gettin' Off

I'm still finding holes I didn't know I had. Recently found Hal McKusick - Jazz workshop (can't put my finger on what it is that makes this different from so much other w.coast that I listen to once and then file in the basement, but this has been getting a spin a couple times a week for quite a while) In a batch of vinyl from Chuck Leo Smilth - Spirit Catcher God, what a beautiful album. As I said before, more holes than time and money, but for me that's the fun of it. Bill

Weezie Sneezy Johnny Fever

Tom Collins Bloody Mary Black Russian

Del Tha Funky Homosapien The farmer in the dell Art Farmer

That sounds a little more negative than I ment it to. I do agree with what you are saying, in the sense that I do not believe the creative proces, either individual or collective, moves in a linear fashion. Bill

"Mr. Godot told me to tell you he won't come this evening but surely tomorrow"

Ocean's Eleven (the one with Sinatra for crissake) Johnny Rivers Oliver Lake

Uncle Sam Uncle Tom The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

John D. Rockefeller The Rock Sheena (is a punk rocker)

Grant Green Jolly Green Giant Jolly Rogers

Dixie Chicks Chicken Little Little Dixie

Merle Haggard Buck Owens Wynn Steward

Definitions of “ West Coast Jazz” aside, I do enjoy a lot of this music. Some sides I find my self pulling out on a fairly regular basis would be: The Jimmy Giuffre Clarinet – good god I love this album Collaboration West – Giuffre, Manne, Rodgers, T.Charles The Three & The Two - Shelly Manne (w/ Giuffre and Rodgers) The Gerry Mulligan Quartet – What is there to say?

Little John Rich Little Richie Rich

How about Red Callender? and the movie Red which was mulititudes better, and never to be confused with Reds and the too obvious to mention Reds

Kid Rock Big Mama Thorton Papa John Creach

You gotta get some Mingus in your Soul ~ he was the single biggest influence really early on, and took me to some of my favorite places. Ah Um and Pithecanthropus Erectus being great place to start. Bill edit to add: "Mingus" on Candid, need to have some Dolphy in there. BB
