Tweak it just a bit: You've got it Brad, and ain't that Goode. And you have his next album title!

What Jim said. Great fuckin' record. Can't disagree. But if you hear some Jimmy Blanton first, you'll know why they were dedicating a record to him. Jack The Bear, Pitter Panther Patter and Koko are the greatest of the great featured on Duke Ellington - The Blanton Webster Band.

I love Smokey Robinson's standards album and agree that great songs should be sung and more people listening to them is not a bad thing. I enjoyed my one live sample of Clapton years ago. And Allen Toussaint could swing or rock Wynton Marsalis, Eric Clapton and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, whichever groove he was feeling that day. I will keep an ear open for it.

After reading the thread, Kalaparusha for #4?

Haven't read the other posts of course. Enjoyed this a great deal but understand that Dan Gould will probably not. CT has deliberately emphasized the connections of new thing and freebop to the tradition. 1. Monk! could maybe be him. That's fluegelhorn, I think. In Orbit with Clark Terry? Nah, the horn is a bit clean and pristine for the more vocal sounding Clark Terry and anyway, where are the bass and drums. A short edgy section rules out Monk himself. Out guys playing way in, or maybe say, Art Farmer with a more adventurous Eurpoean pianist? I'm more baffled than when I started, but I recognize a tune from the Monk Blue Notes, Eronel, I think. Very nice. 2. Ornetteish, but not Ornette I think at the beginning and start thinking Carter-Bradford thoughts. Then I catch the two basses duetting at the end and I'm thinking Sonny Simmons and Barbara Donald, specifically Burning Spirits which I think is a two bass date. 3. A little later freebop I think. My thoughs are Jack DeJohnette's Special Edition, Jemeel Moondoc and Arthur Blythe. 4. DAH-DOT! Interesting and dramatuic composition built on a two note theme. The composition reminds of Blue Note era Cecil, but not the piano. Influenced but stylistuically different. Roscoe Mitchell? 5. I had briefly considered David Murray on the previous track but I think he fits better as a guess here. 6. Ray Anderson? Not as blatantly funny as some of his work so maybe not. 7. Very Nice flute. Might guess Air but for the piano, so I'll try Ken McIntyre. 8. Coltrane is in the house. Not John himself, but more of a spiritually connected admirer than an imitator. The Fringe? 9. Almost a Harry Carney tribute for the first couple minutes, thenedges out and back in. Gotta be Hamiet Bluiett. 10. Killer solo trumpet track. Guessing Wadada because I don't know any other solo albums by trumpeters off the top of my head, but without much conviction. 11. Could be Jimmy Giuffre, his protege Andre Jaume or maybe James Emery and John Lindbergh with a like minded clarinetist 12. For me this was intensely reminiscent of Sonny Rollins St. Thomas. I think that had a guitar, and I kind of think I have heard this before and had the same reaction. Bennie Wallace? 13. I think this is post-Air Henry Threadgill. A little more populist, but way to busy partying to even think of patronizing. 14. Spiritual jazz with a populist bent. Grachan Moncur?? Steve Turre?? 15. Billy Bang is the first thought, then Equal Interest Trio as I struggle to remember if a harmonium really sounds that much like a hammond. Nah. Noticing the LP surface noise I decide it's got more chance of being 60s-70s rather than 80s, si I'll wonder if Michael White ever recorded with organ and congas.

I've been a Little Feat fan since their fourth album, but I really remember Joan Armatrading's Me Myself I tour with Richie grooving the tightest band I ever heard live, at the Mann Music Center in Philly.

I've Got My Baby Back by Lorraine Ellison. Crawled into my head a couple weeks ago and hasn't left. It's still not my favorite Lorraine Ellison song, that's her piano and vocal version of Jimmy Cliff's Many Rivers To Cross. But it's getting a lot of listening time whether it's actually playing or not. And the great Sister Love 3 disk Rhino has lots more where that came from, including a jazzy session with Oliver Nelson that's unjustly maligned.

I wanna hear Archie Shepp doing Soul Eyes with Karin Krog on Blue Note.

Sign me up for a download. Been a while, looking forward to this one.

Mary Lou Williams

Wayne Escoffery. Joe Locke's name as sideman drew me in and I'm finding the music quite evocative. OK, I'll be the straight man, Tom. Do they really have enough Cowbell??

Free and Lovely Five gentle and lyrical favorites from avant leaning artists John Carter Bobby Bradford Quartet - Abstractions for Three Lovers from Flight for Four Sonny Simmons - Things and Beings from Burning Spirits John Coltrane - Welcome from Kulu Se Mama Archie Shepp - There is a Balm in Gilead from Blase Walt Dickerson - Universal Peace from Peace

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.
