My favourite is still "Soul Station" - but then I love many of the fifties BN dates including the very first quartet 10" album, which is kind of the Jazz Messengers featuring Mobley ... the Jazz Messengers material is brilliant, too, both the Silver as well as the Café Bohemia - some of my favourite music! And the re-union is terrific as well, with Lee Morgan and Hank Mobley - I totally love the groove they get into on "Chicken an' Dumplins"!

Happy Birthday!

That's easy, it's segment/day 20! Why didn't they look for a good guitar player? Oh, wait, the answer is: Wheels of Fire! Depends on how far you're willing to go. Mine wouldn't be that much later than the ultimate concert with Pigpen.

Had a quick glance and read the paragraph on Carl Van Vechten - his novel is definitely worth reading! Will have a closer look, this does look like an interesting list, after all!

wronging notes is a mean thing anyway, they don't have any means to defend themselves ...

You forgot about Lenin and the dadaist movement ... that one's actually real (well, maybe ... Hugo Ball writes about the balalaika orchestra playing at Cabaret Voltaire and some weird Russian-looking chap visiting).

Where/when was this article (the one in the original post) actually published? and why is my font auto-adjusted to smallest size?

a few old ones definitely worth revisiting (Honk if you like Hank): There are numerous threads about particular albums and I'm sure many of them contain lots of interesting discussion, too ... one of them that I remember is dis here:

Hank who?

Well, I guess I'd switch to French then

Well me for, one I'd be delighted to speak with a french accent But I'm afraid my migraines are far from being worse enough to cause such things ...

and Lester Young, of course - the pop of them all

since you've got Maceo and Pee Wee, you ought to also list: Nat Jones St. Clair Pinckney (St. Clair ... St. Clair? ... St. Clair!)

Tony Allen Zombie Pieter Willem Botha

You know, some merikins insist on buying but shrinkwrapped CDs ... do you boil them before you touch the e.coli popuating it?

Lateef was born in 1920, Most in 1930 - "influenced younger players"? Maybe Lateef started playing flute later than Most, but still ...

That's about the price I pay for a 50cl can ... but that's rather cheap in Switzerland. A 33cl bottle of Leffe (blonde or brun, same price) in the supermarket is about one and half times that, in specialised beer shops, it's at least twice that, the triple is at probably more than 4€ a bottle, so you see why I rather get these (or Duvel or whatever I can find - I love Belgian beer!) on special occasions. But I do own four Leffe glasses ... got them as a gift (with something fitting to fill into them). Guess I'll need Duvel tulips as well, some day.

Yep, best way to find the truth!

It's by far the favourite of the ones I can get in many supermarkets (I can get Leffe blonde and sometimes brune - but hardly ever triple - there, too, but three 33cl bottles cost about as much as four 50cl cans of Pilsner ... which is still around twice as expensive as the cheapest lager they have on offer).

I love Leffe! But tonight I've just got some of my "default" beer around ...

Fratelli Barilla The Fratelli The Four Brothers

Yes, that's what I do, too

Don't know much of his work, but I've always liked the Mann/Most one on Bethlehem. r.i.p.

That one had actually been in my mind when I had the initial idea for this thread ... but when I opened it a few hours later, I'd forgotten about it again ... good one! Actually I'm quite astonished about the number of covers that you all found, I didn't expect more than five or ten replies here.

well, make that the cold-induced collective compulsory coughing disortder, then
