From Cuttime.com: "Cut time is a common musical term with slightly various meanings among different musicians. It is the standard symbol in written Western music indicating alla breve (twice as fast). But to classical musicians, this symbol will mean "having a feeling of 2 beats per bar" (as opposed to 4 which is called common time) and/or that the tempo (pacing) of the music is generally fast and flowing. While jazz musicians say "cut time" or "half time" when they want the music to suddenly go twice as fast!"

Thanks for the pics! The Hendrix album they did in 2004 is on eMusic for the curious (Experience). Worth the download.

Thanks for this MG! Great work!

Chuck, what kind of fill did you get and how quickly did you get them?

I would add Sophisticated Giant with Woody Shaw and slightly earlier in the 70s, some of the Steeplechase releases. There were a lot of good ones, but I'm partial to the pianoless Something Different, with Philip Catherine on guitar.

The Live Music Archive has some live shows to download. Mostly audience recordings but there are a couple of soundboards as well, including the 2003 North Beach Jazz Festival. EMusic has the first two Savant albums and Legends of Acid Jazz.

He plays on "Half A Triple" recorded in Copenhagen, October 1963.

The Music Resource site has been updated, at least to add some 2006 releases under "specials." However, I stopped ordering from them after waiting months (with no responses to my e-mails) for a partially filled order. As mentioned already, the packaging left something to be desired. It's unfortunate because I had good luck with them years ago in getting some hard-to-find and out-of-print titles. Should we should start a thread to recognize online shops with particularly excellent or poor customer service?

Definitely Dogon A.D. and 'Coon Bidness (when will we these be reissued?), also Ornette's Dancing In Your Head and Body Meta, Blood Ulmer's early 80s stuff (Are You Glad to Be in America?, Free Lancing, Black Rock, and Odyssey), and Miles' mid-70s Dark Magus, Pangaea, and Agharta.

Great stuff and highly recommended to all RRK fans. If I recall though, another half hour of material circulates from this concert: Prelude Back Home Satin Doll My Cherie Amour Fingers in the Wind There Is A Balm In Gilead/Volunteered Slavery/Dem Red Beans and Rice

Maybe Tony turns in the terrorists, and the Feds close their books on the Soprano investigation.

If they want to make it interesting it should be Phil that does it. At Tony's request.

On Jimmy Rowles' "We Could Make Such Beautiful Music Together," you can definitely hear some minor clicks and pops but nothing too objectionable.

EMusic has 82 of the Xanadu albums for download (Xanadu Label), all of them listed as "EMusic only." Some great stuff but apparently no CD releases in the near future.

Bluscia? But seriously, the midpoint color for me has turned out to be "greying."

In an attempt to capitalize on the twist craze in 1962, the Biharis pulled together ten songs from "Singin' the Blues," "B.B. King Wails," and "More B.B. King," and gave new titles to four songs. From Singin' the Blues (Crown 5020): Please Love Me (RPM 386) Woke Up This Morning (My Baby She Was Gone) (RPM 380) You Upset Me Baby (RPM 416) from B.B. King Wails (Crown 5115): Come By Here (Kent 319) I've Got Papers On You Baby (Kent 100 - retitled Do What I Say) Treat Me Right (Kent 101 - retitled Oh Baby) and from More B.B. King (Crown 5230): (Ain't That) Just Like A Woman (Kent 441 - retitled Rockin' Twist) Bad Case of Love (Kent 362) Bad Luck Soul (Kent 353) Blues for Me (retitled Groovin' Twist) Wonder how many copies were bought by a twist-hungry public?

Don't think they did either, but I've always enjoyed the quartet date she did for Impulse in 1963, "Soul Sisters," with Grant Green on guitar, Leo Wright on alto, and Pola Roberts on drums. She also showed up on Wright's "Soul Talk" that same year.

Agreed, my vinyl copy is also in storage for the same reason. I purchased it when it first came out then listened to it twice and put it away. Ironically, I looked forward to hearing it before it was released because I had always enjoyed his unaccompanied solos. I've been listening to all of his albums again, and based on the positive opinions here, may download it from EMusic and give another listen.

I received "B.B. King sings Spirituals" this week, and in John Broven's notes, he confirms that this is the last volume in the Crown reissue series because "Twist with B.B. King" consisted of material from the other Crown albums.

Dan, according to my research and please correct me if I'm wrong, the six songs were: Ain't Nobody's Business Blues Stay Away from Me Eyesight to the Blind Five Long Years Make Me Blue A Woman Don't Care Ain't Nobody's Business was released as a single (Kent 447), on the LP "The Jungle" (Kent 521/5021) and was reissued both on "The Vintage Years" box set and more recently on "Original Greatest Hits" (Virgin 11654). Blues Stay Away from Me was released as a single (Kent 458), on the LP "Rock Me Baby" (Kent 512/5012), and was also reissued on "The Vintage Years" and "Original Greatest Hits." Eyesight to the Blind with overdubbed horns was released as a single (Kent 441) and reissued on "The Best of the Kent Singles" (Ace 760). The version without horns was issued on "The Jungle" LP and reissued on "B.B. King" aka "The Soul of B.B. King" (Ace 986). Five Long Years was on Kent single 445 and on "The Jungle" and was reissued on both "The Best of the Kent Singles" and "The Vintage Years." Make Me Blue was first released in Japan and is on "The Vintage Years." A Woman Don't Care with overdubbed horns is on "B.B. King" aka "The Soul of B.B. King" and without horns on "The Great B.B. King (Ace 1049). The version with horns is mono while the one with horns is in stereo. Four of these songs were covers, but B.B. is credited with writing both Make Me Blue and A Woman Don't Care. Perhaps these were songs that he had no intention of recording for ABC? Since the Biharis didn't release either one, maybe they agreed that the songs lacked commercial potential.
