I taped it from the "Cool TV" jazz channel. It's excellent, don't hesitate to grab the DVD.

Teddy Wilson - AND THEN THEY WROTE...

Here's the session info to LEAPIN' AND LOPIN', if anyone's interested: Leapin' and Lopin' That trio is killer, as GO!, A SWINGIN' AFFAIR, and other albums suggest.

PAPA JOHN CREACH -- this is heavy shit!

I second (or is it third) the LEAPIN' AND LOPIN' recommendation - or any other Sonny Clark albums for that matter. A SLICE OF THE TOP would be sweet too, as would a re-mastered version of THE GIGOLO, regardless of current selling numbers (I'm sure RVG could clean up the sound a bit; plus we'd get some new liners from everyone's favorite, Bob Blumenthal). Just my 2 cents.

Welcome -e-. The more the merrier, as long as your nothing like The Groper, everything will be cool.

The shows that I have heard have been quite excellent. I hope to catch many more in the future. Congrats on the gig, David.

Larry's last post just brightened my upcoming-birthday thoughts. Really looking forward to reading the book! Me too. My parents know it's on my wish list; I think they've ordered - I hope!

Wow, that's like forty-two years ago. 20 years before I was born. Thanks for the later TW recs, Chuck. I'll see if I can track them down.

What's up, dude. Welcome to the board.

Just today picked up the vinyl version of AND THEN THEY WROTE... Can't wait to get home and spin this one.

Agreed. This is getting weird, IMO. Let's discuss other stuff.

Looks like a keeper. Thanks for the review, Joe.

I dig Jim Robinson quite a bit as well.

Sonny Rollins - NEXT ALBUM

J.J.'s playing really does move me. I don't think his virtuosity gets in the way of conveying an enormous amount of feeling. Heavy shit he played. Teagarden ranks right up there, too.

A gracious board member has agreed to a trade. Thanks for looking.

Gotta wait 'till X-MAS to dig into the Mobley set. I'm actually listening to some clips from the Mosaic site just to whet my appetite. I'm actually drooling right now.

Up for air.

Good discussion, just wish I could contribute but I don't have the album in question. I do like BLUE HOUR, though, I just don't spin it all that much.

The Mobley set came this a.m. The Dexter photo, however, has yet to arrive.

Score! That's awesome, Dr. J. Give your thoughts on the set as a whole once you've listened to it. It's on my Mosaics to get eventually list.

I don't have the Fats/Tadd set yet, and don't know why I've passed it up so many times before.

Very sad, indeed. I hope Sonny is OK.
