Man with the Golden Arm

Wondering whether #10 is in fact a quickly faded cover of Laws' "Always There"? And is this cut truncated by Jim for the test??

So they do get "stoned" before they play this game?

At least we can all have a good cry! more apt to be about that $500 K + he was counting on.

Nice picks you guys. Last track...of course Tyner. Does he appear elswhere? or maybe Avery being notso "sharpe" on another cut?? Trying to figure the thread here, if there is one? Nice hits Nate. I think I needs to get that Harris disc (and that it doesn't have Weiselman on it is a plus for me). I knew it had all the markings of the NYCO. It's basically the group under a different title. Whatever happened to that new World label anyway?

Gosh this is a tough one. I have yet to spin up disc two and suppose that might be another thread all together. As it happens upon third listen: Track 1- Has a reminiscence of 90's New York to it. A bit of that New York Composers Orchestra style. Ehrlich w/ Art Baron (don't think it's Ray Anderson although the end solo is his tone, eh?) and Don Byron? Sounds like it might be the drummers date. I'd love to know who that is. Vibes could be Bill Ware? Gotta be a Byron date but no clues as he's not someone I listen to much at all. This picks right up where BFT #7 left off...nice opener!! Track 2- Electric bass sounds kind of little. Gets into a revved up Monk line. It's the alto date? No guesses at all here. Great tune though has that Blue Note / 90's Young Lions feel to it like a Sherman Irby cut. Man I can smell big mamma's biscuits from here. This might be a Wynton disciple?? The piano is fantastic. This is a keeper despite that pewny bass. But now I hear LP tix so what I say is moot. Track 3- No idea but a nice segue w/ the horns from the previous as it's tuff to go from a grand to a b3. Absolutley no idea of this light latin romp. Just a little grease here although the soloist really wants to make it soulful. Man the tumpeter plays nice but needed to lay out. It's lke when Jerome Richardson's flute comes in on those fryolator LockJaw / Scott sides. Now this is one time I wish old Sherman Irby would have recorded with Patton. Why the hell did Blue Note not do that!?? Track 4- Another nice seg here w/ the keybs. This is nice with that bit of Brasileyo. Scatting when you imagine the singer on the beach in a Rio thong doesn't bother me as much. I like the facsimile percussion drive here. Guitar as berimbau? Synth cuixa. Great tune!!!! Track 5- Just when I was complimenting you on this segue-licousness you got going. You got into some noho-street-party-show-us-your-bris-and-we'll-toss-you-some-beads. Could this be that Bernstein disc w/ Rivers? but "cant" imagine that since I hear no trumpet? Track 6- Another with that 90's young lion sound. Like those Blue Notes that came out in the late 90's. Another good track but the soprano has me clueless. Track 7- This has that Irby rhythm to it but not him. Live cut is mixed weird as the drummer is more on top and they put the pillow over the bell instead. ? Track 8- Sounds so like Ervin, don't it? I expected to hear a little "skoochee, skootchee" but this is too new. Another Wynton crew piece. Nicely done up and really makes that last one sound in need. Track 9- A beauty. Track 10- That sound again. My CD player did not like finding this cut. Kind of bright with a bit of "pressure sensitive" underneath. Pulses right along with some tasty bari (?). Who is new that plays that. Track 11- "Nature Boy" would probably reveal about a thousand entries at AMG so I won't even guess cause it's not any vocalist i have heard. Track 12- Nice closer I see by the blinking light. Absolutely no clue again. Can't wait to get educated here as I bet a bunch will be revealed in the course of discussion. Thanks Jim, this is going into my little BFT case after a few more plays!...now go spin that Diaper Genie will ya.

guess those other two piggies were right.

Yes Snorah even made a nice product placement in this week's "Alias" show. At the end there was one of those dulcet moments and sure enough one of her tunes plays in the background. And no it wasn't an elevator scene. I did get to see her sister conducting an Indo orchestra and playing some mean Sitar during a PBS George Harrison tribute last week.

From the site it seems that the "G" in TKGV is the SACD and the "C" in TKCV is just "Hyper Magnum Sound". (Which I thought was reserved for Schifrin's 'Dirty Harry' OST) B)

So are all of the newer Venus issues SACDs or hybrids? Does the same go for some of those previous Wilens?? and I wonder if Tanno will post the differences on his page? From the Venus sight I find that the SACDs are all issued a TKGV-X number.

That one looks an awful lot like this one.

I love this one!

...and speaking of post counts: Happy Birthday FFA!

Happy Birthday AL!

You know people are trying to have an honest conversation about religion and all of it's fine trappings and you guys go and twist this thread into silliness. Get back to the topic at hand, can we?

Congratulations! and the best to the family. and you look pretty well rested!

oops... meant to write "mouse-pen". but it's my mouse on a diet.

something must be wrong with the cabinet window i'm looking at.

Jsngry BFT #4 had a track- #1 on his Disc 2- that was a beauty. I think Jim talked about him at length in that discussion.

I only bought Tarzan and Torak:Son Of Stone. And I'm not that old. Gold Key comics were .12 CENTS! I bought a couple of Looney Tunes comic books for my daughters for Valentine's Day and they were $2.95!!! But at least the French have Mic Delinx and his Joe le Tigre!!!

oh yeah, but he does translate aramaic...howdya think he got that name?

see that the for-sale sign is still in the yard. sent a pm & e-mail your way.

oh john you gotta be careful with aric... he knows just about everything there is to know about subjects such as hank miobley, lee konits and spelling. and those re-tarted one's just don't taste as good as freshly baked.

goosing would be good. consider that we have had two double disc tests in the past few and another two-disc set on the way next. (i think jim dye is supplying one as the bft and the second as just for grins.) your call might be right on to make these things one disc only for the purpose of serious discussion. also the start ups vary so due to the logistics of distribution. some who don't get their's right away feel slighted etc. and then there are about 25% of the folks on the receiving end who post nothing whatsoever, either they are just mystified, dont like it, got the disc too late or just don't have the time (oh but they will post and peruse politics and deworming your ferret threads). as for my "grouch" opinion i strongly feel that those who sign-up should at the very least post a couple of required syllables. one can compare a given list as jim and i have both posted in the sign-ups with those who actually have something to say, within the discussion or answer forum. the fact that someone took the time to create something and send it to them, like it or not, should be acknowledged. cue track #20 BFT 7.

Oh yeah, and the "brothers" they'd be puttin down the "doggie" fer sure.

Oh, god...not golf humor! Heavens no, but whenever I do play my mulligan I don't just slice it , I crew cut it.
