Wow, I had not expected to have the board back up so quickly. Thanks Jim!!!! Free For All called me last night (we both live in Kansas City), and said: hey man, sumpthins gone real bad with the board. Well, I'm real glad it was so short-lived.

Do let us know how it turns out. We'll all be very interested to know!! - I'm sure.

Just testing the pic upload function...

I just noticed that the AAJ board is back up again, though it might just be for testing. The "front page" now says... FYI, the most recent post there (except for a couple posts just today, probably just within the last hour) dates back to 18-MAY-2003 11:51 PM, although it's possible there are some incremental backups they haven't applied yet.

Anthony Cox - Dark Metals (Antilles/Polygram 1992), with... Anthony Cox - Bass Dewey Redman - Tenor Michael Cain - Piano Billy Higgins - Drums, Guitar, Vocals Includes some of the best Dewey Redman on record, IMHO. I think a few others here have this CD as well, and can back this up. OOP probably, but highly recommended. (Yes, Billy Higgins really does play guitar and sing on this CD, on two cuts - both Brazilian folk tunes - and does so with great panash.)

Actually, I have given a passing thought to printing out color versions of the best covers from this thread, and sending them to Michael -- just for the heck of it. I probably won't, but the thought had crossed my mind, in terms of getting Michael to think again about the "Train Wreck", and "Chained", for possible release someday.

This is barely related at all (other than my question is, in fact, about "being related" to a famous jazz musician)... But I occasionally wonder what happened to Leon Henderson, Joe Henderson's brother - who played tenor on those two Kenny Cox BN albums in the late 60's. Were Leon and Joe at all close, and whatever became of Leon?? He was at least a decent player on those Cox LP's (and I think he was pretty interesting), and I would have liked to have heard more from him. The AMG only lists him as having played on both Kenny Cox LP's, and (straingly enough) one MC5 LP ("High Time", from 1971 --- BTW, I'm totally unfamiliar with MC5), and that's it. It also mentions that Leon worked with Kenny Cox, Charles Moore, Daniel Spencer, Ron Brooks, MC5 --- but it's too late for me to look up Moore, Spencer, and Brooks - to see if Leon is mentioned in any reviews of any albums of theirs (maybe I'll check tomorrow).

Well worth getting. Both the SQ and performances are excellent!!! $50 is a fairly decent price, though I've occasionally seen it go for closer to $40-$45 on eBay (not including shipping charges).

Anybody want to take this one on?? Andrew Hill - Chained (May, 1967), with... Ron Carter Teddy Robinson (dm) This session remains unreleased, although it was scheduled for release on King Records (out of Japan) as GXF-3080. I still often wonder about this session, and hope is does see the light of day sometime.

Maybe 5 or 6, definitely less than 10. Just some things I've stumbled on over the years, or were given by friends. I don't have a working turntable (and haven't for about 10 years), so my record (LP) collection is pretty small, maybe 100 to 125 records total.

A Pirate Joke A seaman meets a pirate in a bar, and they take turns to tell their adventures on the seas. The seaman notes that the pirate has a peg-leg, a hook, and an eye patch. The seaman asks "So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?" The pirate replies "We were in a storm at sea, and I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. Just as my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off." "Wow!" said the seaman. "What about your hook"? "Well...", replied the pirate, "We were boarding an enemy ship and were battling the other sailors with swords. One of the enemy cut my hand off." "Incredible!" remarked the seaman. "How did you get the eye patch"? "A seagull dropping fell into my eye.", replied the pirate. "You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?" the sailor asked incredulously. "Well...", said the pirate, "..it was my first day with the hook."

The Red Shirt Of Courage Long ago, when sailing ships ruled the waves, a captain and his crew were in danger of being boarded by a pirate ship. As the crew became frantic, the captain bellowed to his First Mate, "Bring me my red shirt!" The First Mate quickly retrieved the captain's red shirt, which the captain put on and led the crew to battle the pirate boarding party. Although some casualties occurred among the crew, the pirates were repelled. Later that day, the lookout screamed that there were two pirate vessels sending boarding parties. The crew cowered in fear, but the captain, calm as ever, bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt!" Once again the battle was on. However, the Captain and his crew repelled both boarding parties, though this time more casualties occurred. Weary from the battles, the men sat around on deck that night recounting the day's occurrences when an ensign looked to the Captain and asked, "Sir, why did you call for your red shirt before the battle?" The Captain, giving the ensign a look that only a captain can give, exhorted, "If I am wounded in battle, the red shirt does not show the wound and thus, you men will continue to fight unafraid." The men sat in silence marveling at the courage of such a man. As dawn came the next morning, the lookout screamed that there were pirate ships, 10 of them, all with boarding parties on their way. The men became silent and looked to the Captain, their leader, for his usual command. The Captain, calm as ever, bellowed, "Bring me my brown pants!"

Train Wreck, indeed... Click Here!!! Also, Click Here too!!!

Are you thinking of the two Madhouse recordings, "8" and "16", FFA??? Link: "8" Link: "16" (FYI, only "8" has an AMG review, and the main "Madhouse" entry is blank too)

How about the infamous... Tyrone Washington - "Train Wreck!!" (August, 1968), with Herbie Hancock Herbie Lewis Jack DeJohnette

I got's no complaints about the SQ on "Music Inc - Big Band". Buy will confidence!!!

If anyone is only thinking about picking up one or two of these, probably the one of these three NOT to get is "Impact", which suffers from some odd sound-quality issues in it's CD release. The music is still great (really great!!!), and it's not anything that can't be compensated for by a little EQ tweaking on your stereo -- so don't let that stop you from getting all three of them if there's interest in such. But if you're gonna skip one, "Impact" might be the one to skip. But the music, on all three, is fantastic. By way of comparison, these three Tolliver albums are every bit in the same league as the best of Woody Shaw's output in the 70's. Highly recomended.

Any other nominations for real albums that didn't happen to be recorded on BN, but with people/line-ups that are very plausibly "BN"-ish enough to merit having a homemade BN cover?? Like how about maybe... Charles Tolliver - The Ringer (June, 1969), with... Stanley Cowell Steve Novosel Jimmy Hopps And it seems like an album called "The Ringer" is just begging for a "visual pun"-infested cover, no??

I first heard it was Grace Slick that first said this famous quote. But I've since see dozens of other people who have supposedly said it first.

Wow, AB - very cool, and very in keeping with the time that it was recorded. Wish I had the software and the tallent to contribute to this thread too -- but alas, all I can do is cheer everyone else on, and hope there are many more contributions.

Anyone who doesn't already have these, and doesn't take advantage of this offer... ...needs to have their head examined.

I can't wait to (someday) hear Moran playing live, mostly his own music. I've heard him 4 or 5 times, but always with Osby's quartet (or with the New Directions group, the first time I heard him). IMHO, Moran is by far the most interesting piano player of his generation, and dare I say perhaps one of the most interesting composers on the jazz scene today (of any generation). Right up there with Andrew Hill, in my book
