Man with the Golden Arm

yes, I had a triple scoop of "Downstairs Blues...", one on top of the other, while driving around this weekend. Same flavor, I know, but each wtih different sprinkles and jimmees.

oh yeah, thought you meant a different tune ... that's the side i was playing. I remember buying this a ways back as she reminded me of a 80's singer from the west coast named Barbara Morrison. would never have even thought of "Cry Me a River" as a "spy" tune.

I think I have that one--with Albam's big band, featuring guys like Jerry Dodgion, Frank Wess, Pepper Adams, Joe Newman, Garnett Brown, Bill Watrous (billed as "Billy")--hell of a band! It's called CONGRATULATIONS TO SOMEONE, and I picked it up for $4.99 in a budget bin. Really strong record (reissued by Lester Recording Catalogue). Just pulled out my Europa Jazz italian issue of this date and WOW ... been a while and probably played this a couple times is all. Truly rockin as Jim sez. What an pure and effortless voice she has ... no over-singing here. Love how Pepper Adams and Garnett Brown growl "Cry Me A River" into some missing John Barry/Bond title sequence. So, who is the piano player here? This gatefold is missing quite a bit of info. Need to dig out 'The Late Late Show' next. and what's that groovy blues Jim??

man i just don't understand how this is: a willful surrender of strength or how a large measure of our free speech is gone. ?? the man fugged up and got his ass deservingly fired ... boom! done! it's like comparing apples to penguins to bring war and death etc ... into the equation. the main thing is that he lost his gig. no amendments broken. i really doubt that if at the end of a first dance solo the wedding band's piccolo player announces that the bride's garter smells of stinky cheese that the group would be rehired.

Wrong. Richards was in an adult comedy club trying to make Lenny Bruce roll over in his grave. Imus was delivering on our airwaves a stupidly pointed put down subjective observation of some pretty motivated young women. Adios, you lily livered, oil duster wearin', shaggy headed, beige honky, pseudo ranch hand.

i don't get out enough.

nah ... having Obis makes you the envy of all your friends.

Ejazzlines told me via E-mail that they got 6 orders for that one copy of Hank Mobley Quartet in about 30 seconds. I missed it too. So far, I've only missed two titles. They are pretty quick to update their on-line inventory, just not immediate. It's too bad they can't make the inventory live. There's nothing worse than sitting back and thinking you got your order in to get that title you wanted, only to find out it was already bought. Drives me crazy. Is that the March 27, 1955 quartet session that was released on CJ28-5128 you're talking about? A great CD! I managed to find a copy last year. It's a McMaster, by the way. The session's on the Mobley Mosaic, of course. Yes, I have a 10" lp and the Mosaic (with extras) but wanted the single cd so I could "dump" the box. was this EVER released as a TOCJ - XXXX? other than in JRVG form. that's one fantastic disc you never see.

Note the little sidebar of the few folks who've been tossed over the years: - 1963 Hornung and Karras for gambling. Those were the days!

i was curious about this album when i saw it a couple years back ... any recs for it? thanks.

'48

Dude...you're such a buzz kill. You took out the funny shit. that's not funny. can you paraphrase. :rsly:

Did not watch any of this tourney as i had to work. But SO WHAT! frigging cold as hell and Tiger snaps a four iron on a tree? - just looked at that on youtube and that was a pretty brave swing to get outta trouble which is what he does best. And I learned more words than a George Carlin record caddying so Tiger's allowed to be emotional. I'm no big fan of his, really happy that the kid from Iowa won giving Woods a taste of reality, and still think Jack would kick his butt if in a time machine bag filled with persimmons and wound balatas. Seems to me from what i've caught on the radio that the folks in Augusta got tired of being owned by that grin and reconfigured the whole deal down there - probably ruining a legendary course. Good thing Tiger didn't win or they might have pulled up the azaleas and planted a briar patch next year.

wow. RIP.

had heard about this and found the anecdote

Pure Luck! But how bout we toss the whole curve and figure the chances of getting it in the hole on the fly, without a bounce!!! My one and only, long ago, did that. Eight iron, par 3, 138 yards. Front apron trap. Luckily the course in Myrtle Beach had them fancy fat flag sticks that narrow at the bottom - kind of a lobster trap effect. Actually uttered an expletive cuz I thought I hit it thin. Truth is the hole before was a triple bogey on a par 5 as well as assorted misfires. Pretty wacky looking card when it was all over. Beer chummed quite a few shrubs outside shag bars that night.

Hey lady, put on a nice shift and get yourself down to Gloucester ... Herb Pomeroy gigs every Tuesday (i think) at a place called the Franklin Cafe on Main.

Heh Heh ... I was going w/ "Funky Nassau" but that one's better!

Hey, what's Tiger's favorite tune off the 'What It Is!" Box?

check out Dom Um Romano

But what about that Burt song "Baby, It's You" by a A Group Called Smith I stopped by the local rekkid store last nite and they have got a whole lotta pseudo retro crap for licensing merch out there. Land fill mania!

"I've got a barnfull of pigs that are really into Shostakovich. But I'm not giving in to any of that..."

damn ... I remember that well. RIP Tatum was good - esp with the Buckeyes, but he was nasty. That whole Raider outfit then was something else.

CLASSIC!!!! oh man that is hilarious ... you're gonna have to print out this thread for her and read it to her prom guests.
