There's talk about Quentin's durability but this guy is as solid as a rock. I for one wouldn't sell him short on the durability question or any facet of his game for that matter. On ESPN last night they praised him for his ability to see the entire field. That kind of ability in any back makes him a dangerous customer.
Last haircut I paid 12 and tipped the barber/owner 4. Next time I'll bump it up at least a buck. He's got one of these barber shops which reminds me of the kind that I used to go to when I was a kid. He's a good guy and he does good work.
The only label box I have is the 2-CD Cobra box - at thetime it was the only way to get the Otis Rush master takes in one place. Other music on it is good, too.
Ditto.
I went in 2000. It was great. Exploring Cuba was even better than the jazz.
Several things make this prohibitive for me at this time finances,time,Hurricane Ivan and a complete lack of desire to spend anytime in federal court.
I went with Burrell if for no other reason he seemed to be the one that Jimmy Smith called on the most but hell you can make a strong case for any of these guys!!!
Joey D recorded a very interesting album with Danny Gatton and another guy who is not jazz but pretty interesting to me is Lucky Peterson who is pretty adept at both instruments.
I used to have an album of her's that had "Into The Mystic" and "My Prayer" and I enjoyed the hell out of it. Her contributions to Johnny Otis's "Live At Monterrey" are top notch. Like Bobby Womack she is an artist I definitely want to check out more in the future.
Bobby guests on a track on the new Los Lobos album "The Ride" and he is killer!!!!
I also enjoyed Bobby's work on Gabor Szabo's "High Contrast" and the Womack tune "I Used To Love Her" is a classic.
Ballads are what made his rep and the one's that I've heard are for the most part are beautifully done although some seem twice as long as they actually are. Nevertheless Frank has few rivals in singing a ballad but I do prefer Nat Cole when it comes to a ballad.
