Pats. They're the defending champion until proven otherwise.

I agree- I just got this today from yourmusic.com (only 3 days after I ordered it!! wow!)-the extra tunes from the sessions are quite "jammy", probably a good decision to leave them off the original release as they aren't all that interesting for the most part, although the bonus Treat is outstanding. And the Woodstock performances are blistering!!! My oh my they were really inspired or something that day. Carlos has a nice raunchy tone on the Woodstock Jingo I remember reading an interview with Carlos who admitted to being on LSD that day. He wasn't expecting to go on right away but they moved the bands appearance up right about the time Carlos was peaking. He said that he prayed to keep in tempo and time. In your opinion did he succeed?

I was fortunate enough to see Cal not once but twice. Both shows were an absolute joy. I've enjoyed every album and cd that I have of Cal's. A few years back I purchased the vinyl of Cal's "Putting It Together" on E Bay. When I took the album out low and behold there was Cal's autograph on the sleeve. That made me twice as pleased.

Hey Joe fascinating stuff. Jobim was and is one of my heroes. Thanks for the info.Good to see you.

Sounds like a neat session. Hopefully it will see the light of day.

Same here. Only moreso. Likewise.

Which one? I love a New Perspective. I've never heard the other. The other one is "I'm Trying To Find My Way Home" it has it's moments but not as good as "New Perspective" IMO.

aww, I love Whistle Stop. Another vote for "New Perspective". Since I haven't heard "Whistle Stop" though the jury is still out on that one.

I came close to snagging this on BMG. When I saw Eddie Gale listed I thought "I could live with that". When I saw James Spaulding on it I said "I'll pass".

I'm surprised it took that long in this thread for this one to come up. I assumed this was the universal choice... This one didn't work for me either.

He does display some "Youthful Exubarance" but in general Ditto.

Paging Michael Cuscuna.

They may or may not believe but I think they just can't help but be funnin' with you.

Oh Yeah!!!!! B-)

Don't say that.

I heard the opening strains of Shelly Fabraes's "Johnny Angel" and I turned off the sound as quickly as I could. The thought of that getting stuck in my head is too horrible to contemplate.

It's something that I really haven't given any serious thought to but that could very well change.

That is unbelivably awesome. May you have many happy and funky and greazy recordings on that equipment!!!!!

I'm thinking about checking out the Johnny Winter "Second Winter" expanded cd.

It seems like a kajillion.

Wasn't he was a bassist? DOH!!!!!! Right You Are!!!! I meant Hubert Eaves!!! Same Group.My Bad!!!!

Sspeaking of seminal horn bands: Dreams :..Breckers +Sanborn + Barry Rogers + Don Grolnik etc .. and then there was Ten Wheel Drive ..and Chase .. Yes indeed.
