Man with the Golden Arm

So # 12 is just that. Sheesh. I have been curious about this elusive work after having read recent threads and see that he has redone these pieces. So who is playing that Burrellish guitar line? And the strings?? I enjoy Lalo immensely and would love to know more of that groove he's got here, so Lalo! but this set up is a bit too out there with all the goings on. Visual music to be certain. A Peter Sellers garden party or Carl Stallings for a pack of closeted tea totalers. Does segue nicley from the Satie previously.

This Hard Bossa and the Nova thread are just essentials of the BB. Thanks, Jim et al!!(and due for their own column heading as for all things 'wordly') So up for some more fine discussion after that nice list posted above. With Marcus' BFT circulating just now and the fact that I have yet to remove my new (one ond only so far) Bossa Tres "Em Forma!" from my auto for the past week I'm curiousor for more. So I'll just to toss out another list for discussing amongst the most knowledgables: J.T. Meirelles and Os Copa 5 from the BFT!! Mario Castro Neves Os Cobras and more on Bossa Tres - that Luiz Carlos Vinhas... what a badasss!

As usual the sign-up threads seem to be hotter than the discussions. Give it up for Marcus for tossing a bunch of discs around the globe rather than oogling what's down by the sea (oh wait it's the middle of winter so he's just taking a snow shoveling break). Stumped all along!!! 1.) Knew this would start with a bit of Bahian rhythms. Is that what he's saying? A bit too in the new for me as far as the wonderful production goes. I usually draw a line at the elctric piano so I'm not going in for this one right off the bat. 2.) No clue here. Beautifully recorded and engineered piece, but the sound alone has me. Not sure if this would be up my alley for long, but very nice. 3.) Clueless, again. 4.) No points for me for having no idea what this Parker tune is. I like this though. Sonically the opposite of #2. 5.) Now were back to somethin' with a Brazilian attitude! I do like this cut best so far Seems to go nicely with the heat of the day. Thinking it's not someone from the homeland there but a stateside date. Has a bit of that fast Silver Henderson root. 6.) Didn't feel this coming next. What a bouncer. Has that later Milt on Pablo feeling to me. But can't be that after hearing the horn come in again. Gotta be the saxist's date as that piano is too far (don't stay outside, c'mon in) away for a Pablo. 7.) Out on a limb but sounds a bit like Fritz from Pittsburgh. Again sonically beautiful in the way of the DDD stuff that he was all over in the later eighties. Has so much that Crosby bass. Should know this tune from Digital Works or Rossiter Road era. 8.) Man I should know this one... this one will be nailed fast and I will wait it out. 9.) "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that electric bass a wah-wah-ing". 10.) Huge TUNE! This is my favorite on this test now bar none. Some garage band duo with a great set up just showing off so beautifully! This has got that swingg!!! :tup 11.) SMCOT ... "sonata my cup of tea". No, really, absolutely, pristinely beautiful. 12.) Awaiting Bluto Blutarski to give that greensleeving minstral one over the head and then the thing grooves into some Silver-esque vamp like Horace walked into the Globe Theatre on the wrong cue. Is this from some Brazilan cartoon? Wacky!!! 13.) Another big ol' bass. This is nice!!! Goes well with #5 and something cool to drink. 14.) Sort of caps this test with a very signature sound that has been going on all along. Eager to hear who all we've been listening to. Gotta be a theme here in the bass, no? 15.) No clue... figuring Marcus would leave us with this bit of Brazil... not white enough for Chris Connor and not Nancy, or Carmen Lundy or Shirley Horn, and not Braziliany enough for a funky Tania Maria or Lani Hall? stumped again as for most of this one! Thanks Marcus for all! The first time through not much grabbed me as I was put off a bit by the very subtle "electric" sound of it all. I'm feeling much better after another go round as there is some really, really fine music here that was thoughtfully and lovingly put together. Will look forward to reading all the postings as the days roll on.

Happy Birthday! Lon!!!

My idea of a Power Cord!

Guy or others... might you give us a run down on Marie Möör? I don't know much more of her than her appearances on various covers. I do recall some discussion from prior threads? Also interested in any tales re: the art work that is featured on some. thanks!

"Hey vibes man, hey jazz man, play me your serenade Any deeper blue and you're playin' in your grave Save your notes, don't spend 'em on the blues boy Save your notes, don't spend 'em on the darlin' yearlin' sharp boy Straight for the church note ringin', vibes man sting a trash can Listen to your junk man Listen to your junk man Listen to your junk man He's singin', he's singin', he's singin' All dressed up in satin, walkin' past the alley He's singin', singin', singin', singin' " congratulations cary! you been after this since the BNBB days.

just received this big old pack today. placing it in the player now! thanks a bunch Marcus!!

I run my browser when entering DGA with it's linux "de-adjectivolator" ON! ...but i was inspired to buy a rare Isaac Hayes lp for just this reason.

Thanks, Claude! Been a long time and that was a good laugh again! AL YEAH!

Hence the reason one never ever sees beavers in the metro, or is that gnaw? Too bad the DC police can't lock folks up for second degree lying or attempting to think.

Silver's or Coleman's? Love to hear a reading of some Ornette.

You guys gotta quite makin' fun of this guy's rigg!

"The Jimmy" like dem too!

Last time she vacations in Hamburg!

Overbite? Well that's pretty obvious!

Obviously not who you are asking about but check Pablo Zeigler. John Lurie's brother Evan has some very nice Jazz Tango Italiatarentella going on.

I really hope they turn around. Like to know who's got the bigger ....?

Some twelve year old antiques ... i knew the stylist!

series is limited to 100 pcs at $340 total!

Any word as to whether Verve might be re-issuing any of these domestically? That Schifrin might be nice.

I've been wondering about the tunes that Monk cut for the 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses' film. Never have seen it, but supposedly Monk's music was in it briefly. From the notes it states that the session for the film was recorded in NYC w/ Sam Jones, A.T. and Rouse and Wilen!! Evidently the session is used in the film but the tunes on the OST w/ the Messengers are from a later session w/o Monk, of course. Quite a coup it would be if these sides could be un-earthed. We'd love to here Monk and Wilen doing it. Certainly Brownie will drop in and set us straight on this!

While trying to google something cute i found this: congrats to you Randy!!!

i was in this very bunker the other nite. @#$%@#^@!! but i did crunch one here! luckily us town folk get to play this hoyty toyty club in the evenings.
