Oh yeah, you've got to hear the Roswell Rudd with Sheila Jordan: Flexible Flyer Just 4 credits at the moment. Oddly short track times listed on the AEC dates.

Back about 1976, Peter Blaikie did the Sunday night Blues Graveyard show from 8-10 pm. My recollection was that his theme song was a version of In The Mood by Cozy Cole, but I havent found that on the Chronnological Classics releases. Am I wrong about the title, the artist or was it a rare post-1950 track that bent the show's usual rules.

I believe the late Ellington scholar Harrison Ridley Jr. considered her second only to Ivie Anderson among the ladies who sang with Duke's band.

Well my first Red Norvo had Charles Mingus and Tal Farlow. A Savoy compilation. Always loved the arco riff on Time and Tide. Another poster snuck in there. Good thing Perugia by Roland Hanna is one of my all time favorites. It's solo, so there's only one place to go...

And don't forget his work as sideman on Woody Shaw's glorious Love Dance.

Clark Terry (t) Pat Martino (g) Jim Hall, Cecil Taylor and Evan Parker could all be considered. The trumpet ranks are a bit depleted, perhaps Charles Tolliver or Bobby Bradford can give Clark a break if needed.

Jasmine is good and welcome. The duet Prayer from Death and The Flower (1974) is one of my favorite pieces of music ever. Jasmine does not quite reach that level of spiritual intensity, but it's a fine standards set. I haven't given the Standards Trio the listening time that I gave the old American Quartet dates on Impulse, so I can't do much compare and contrast there. Listening to jasmine just feels a bit like meeting old friends.

Thanks for joining us Edgar. The two tours of duty with Walt Dickerson produced music that will last through the ages, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. We're all thinking of you and your family.

Getting interesting with a Sinatra theme coached by Harry Connick Jr. I thought Big Mike won it hands down. Casey is a fine bar rocker, but was clearly the weakest last night. It was interesting to see him stretch for areas that he wouldn't ordinarily go, but it definitely showed his weaknesses as a pure singer. The judges seemed to think Lee won it at the end, and Crysttal's understated performance was underappreciated by the judhes and perhaps a bit overwhelmed by the arrangement. Aaron did just fine, just behind Lee for second place.

Richard Davis is dead even with Haden, but Charlie's deep soulfulness and flamenco strums fully earn my vote.

Pere Ubu worth a mention, they emerged a bit earlier but still had indie cred at that time. Lone Justice too, I've followed Maria McKee's work since the breakup.

Albert Ayler - Universal Indians

Daughter of Cochise from Sonny Criss - Sonny's Dream. Not sure how authentic.

When the street team is also the artist, that's kind of cool. Tell us about yourself and your bandmates.

Grabbed the new Nels Cline, along with Sheila Jordan, Frank Kimbrough, Harvey S and Kenny Barron

The two LP set tended to feature the "new thing" more prominently, but the 3 CD version included more "inside" performances. The tribute to Britt Woodman is just plain gorgeous.

Ah, the complete Concord recordings of Sun Ra!!!

The leader has done fine work with Sheila Jordan and Kenny Barron. Although the band lacks big names, my interest in hearing this was enhanced by seeing Woody Witt's name. He's a Texas tenor whose album I heard and enjoyed as part of AAJ's review copy thread a few years ago. The first two tracks feature the leader's bass prominently and Witt seems comfortable with the ECMish direction of the compositions he plays on. Very pleasant, this will get some repeat listenings. Available on eMusic.

Grabbed it from eMusic, loving it on first listen. Well done, Frank.

Lee Morgon was great in the 70's. Live at the Lighthouse and Lee Morgan (Last Session) are my favorite Lee, but I do realize they were starting to depart Dan Gould's comfort zone.

Trane's Body and Soul from Coltrane's Sound. Honorable Mentions Trane - Africa Rollins - G-Man McCoy Tyner - Walk Spirit Talk Spirit Woody Shaw - Obsequious

Fair enough Dan. Yes it's wrong to stop the performance and criticize the audience. If he can stop it he'll be a better man and artist.

Note absence of Bud Powell bashing thread. Sometimes it helps to be dead.
