Man with the Golden Arm

Cat footprints on cars are about the same as pigeon poop. I'm sure there are some more up their sleeves - hopefully the Sportka can do battle with a big ol SUV, calmy deflect an erratn shopping cart back into it's corral, poke the eyes out of an idiot teenager who flashes the finger or swiftly scoop up a nut hauling squirrel and flick him to the side of the road. Doing it's own kind of Astin-Martin-passive-aggressive schtik. That commercial is original stuff and beautifully done! Next thing we know they'll be taking Warner Brothers cartoons and editing out all the good stuff, oh wait...

I've been trying to pin down that two and a half minute track #8. I hear some "live" coughing and even some "little" voices. Sounds very Zorn without his signature pattin' himself on the back goings on but a bit of Ehrlich in the long lines. So what is that bowed crankling garage door spring under this whole thing? Hmmm ... live date, small room, prepared guitar over a pizzicato and it ends rather un-quietly. Very nicely segued into the next cut! And I'm w/ sidewinder on some 'British-ness' to that track #11. (although, it is not on the Deep Dark Blue...)

oh man... check out the pigeon one as well!

Who's Bill Murray? B) ...and in keeping with MMW goes oahu.

my little brain was ready to 'combust' and i guess i was a little 'slack' in my guessing off the cuff but... '"evening is the time" when my memory comes back to me'. PHEW!

Nope, please try again. shit... now i've gotta go and drive the family nuts tonite...i give up. it's probably not even them is it!!? but hey, my post count is way up and enroute to "stoopit groover" status.

can you tell i'm sitting here trying to rack this up w/o my discs and just my brain ... not good. this is sooo easy! only took three tries... the opener.

#@$#%* aargh!!! now you are really driving me crazzzy! but hey my post counts are up!

I'm afraid this is not quite right. OOPS they do all kind of run together at times... is this more accurate ?

eggs ackley! i borrowed a friend's very very expensive converter once and hooked it up to be able to switch quickly between it and normal mode and he a/b-ed me and i could not even pick up any differentiation between having it on or not. save it for some fresh sounding "software".

well i've looked this over and should have gone with nmy gut guesses on tracks 3 & 10. i have none of 10 music other than the 'buttery thing' on an old lp. and since #9 is not quite tyner ...? now # 12 is really driving me nuts seeing that no-one picked it up yet. even with the calabashes and goat hooves... but crazy... it's the Ribot track from this blue note album. pheww!

thanks for the disc TK and the great graphics job on this one! assured that that carp knows more than i! i have some thoughts but unfortunately no real answers to speak of. i am confident that this one will be put through the wringer and can't wait to lurk thru the replies. nicely done all around! here it goes: track 1 - electro duo track 2 - ? i'll try to think some more on this but i am going to peruse this thread after posting. it's a beauty! maybe jarrett cause i hear a little pocket vole taking a solo here and there. track 3 - who else uses the siren whistle? not a typical RRK sound to me but it sure feels like it at the end. track 4 - no idea... track 5 - sounds like two songs here... neither relating as the same though? i do like the laid back bossa vibe on the latter. track 6 - maybe nina simone but too short for me to tell. track 7 - gonna say ornette simply because it sounds like something he'd do. have never heard this but the bass is of the coleman derivative and the violin has to be him since guys like billy bang can play. track 8 - i like this whoever it might be. that clanging string in the background on top of the tenor leads me nowheres as to describe this. do i hear voices back there as well? or is that the neighbors. kind of has a "lonely woman' feel to it that tells me that last cut is definitely coleman! track 9 - some bowing leads into this setting of a bigger rhythm section. beautiful piece that i should know. can't be a chicago based large ensemble since there is some piano on going here that sounds tyner-esque to me. i'll be slapping the head on this one. track 10 - whaat! bird like pan floutings, eastern tejano plinkety plinks all simmered into a south of the border mole'. no idea at all but this will get 'em to buy another tres colores! track 11- wow this piece has too many things going on for me to even venture into. this one will no doubt provoke a bit of discussion. track 12 - i have this one but have no clue as to what it is. sheesh it's on the tip of my lobe here but i can't seem to place it. man, this is terrible. track 13 - nice segue from the prior. this one i don't have and certainly can't place it either. i will come back to this one, most definitely! track 14 - instantly recognizable bit of ribot and track 6 from: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&u...l=Ayzj9kectsq7n]saints track 15 - bill murray

Congratulations Jim and Family! What a beauty!!

sounds like it might be good with a little cinnamon stick twirled in it. and please don't give that other stuff to your tamarin. they belch like lions.

I was at first skeered to be puttinng on a RVG of McLean. Who better to really get that disturbing RVG sound treatment. But I can agree with my tin ears that this is a beautiful re-issue. While hot, as ususal, it does not take McLean's tone thru the wash. And the virtual VU meter actually does some bouncing on the high end. Right up there with recent batch sounds of Leeway and Mode For Joe.

WHY?

Yikes, glad your on the mend... I'd be talking this up at a "reputable' bike shop just so you get something good for this. I am always amazed at the complete lack of respect most drivers have for someone on a bike. Many a time I've pissed-off people behind me by going un-godly slow until I can find a large swath of terrain to yield some right of way to a group of bikers.

I might listen to David Murray more if he recorded less.

there's some seal-ial killer on the loose right around my neck of the woods! Mass Maine MSNBC

didja hafta go an use the term "compelling points"... jeez just when i thought i was growing up this whole thing makes some of us look like a bunch of Peter Pans! (...anyone seen my tights?)

Aw man I'm sad to hear this. Thanks for posting this Tom. All I can think of is that it'll be a hell of a wake! And per the article's remembrance, that send up of 'Caravan' that Roomful used to do before a break with Porky riding it home was something to behold. While I only have Roomful on LPs and no table I must defer to tossing on Big joe Turner and the boys doing "Red Sails In The Sunset".

Bloody Hell!!! I did the same search and was amazed by the quality of those 'puppy's noses', all on one page. Geez, you Brits got me all confused!

castor canadansis gotta gnaw!

you know old PFUNK wazzan that far out a line.

oh your right! that explains all the bizarre spam i receive!! i initially misspelled "brobblops" with only one 'p' in deference to the deutsch derivative from whence it comes.
