Man with the Golden Arm

good to see late back!! that cover is fantastic - looks like many could just strip in a head from the "show us yer face" thread and no one would think twice! don't have any of these Yazoos myself but have given a couple as gifts to folks with more folky interests. many of the Yazoo covers are highlighted in Crumb's collection of record cover art. a real coup would be a compilation of all that art with a box set from the label.

news from the DMG release pages: I must have been in a phase back in the eighties and listened the hell out of all the Hanrahan releases. Conjure especially entertained me. Curious if anyone knows anything about this new (?) release here. See that the usual suspects are about along with Threadgill's new drummer weighing down what looks to be a rhythm hefty outing. I also spotted 'Darn It' re-issued over at the organissimo-linked CDUniverse for cheap. Not a very good set but a couple of killers in there with Rudd and Tchai and that killing-absotutely-priceless-play-it-loud-for-Don - "Rawalpindi Blues"! (on sale and maybe mispriced)

"Keith Jarrett sings Bud Powell"

that's a true fan!

Nope, you are incorrect. The lyrics I posted are the exact lyrics Kurt sang live at the MTV Unplugged session. I listened to the CD right before I wrote them into the post and I just listened again and they're correct. Dig up the CD and listen yourself. Since that was an all acoustic session, I consider that to be the best easily obtained representation of Kurt's version of Black Girl. Kurt did sing other Black Girl lyrics variations ... just like everyone else in history. NO, .:. is the correct one here with vast knowledge of history. not a fan of ye w/ the buckshot uvula but it's an easy google to confirm the right answer, unless of course a cover song becomes the property of the messenger? sheesh!

been nearly a year... Hoe Down video clip starting, er, no, has been, to be a cartoon of his future self. reminding me a bit of Adam Sandler, only more gruff and gentile. got some players on this new one tho.

strrrrretch out that back before you do!!!!

Truly sad indeed. The only time I saw him was a few years back in Boston and during the second half of the show he featured a very young, maybe high school, trumpeter that was in the audience. The young man's talent was deep and Jackie made him feel right at home. Let him take some flying solos. I'm sure it changed that boy's life and it was great to watch it happen.

whacha get for racing against this guy!

last time Mat Mahurin retouched a photo it came to this!

oh yeah, sure he did. i blame the dog too! our's likes to dress for the howlidays.

In reading the liners from "Parole e Musica" off of the web I see that in 1960 Helen recorded four songs in Italian with Armando Trovajoli. Released only as an extended 45 - RCA EPA 30-387. I wonder if these recordings exist anywhere?

he's doin' that "Oh Baby!" thing!

re: Saft's "Astaroth" Angels Volume 1. while I don't buy much in the way of "new" music these days I just received this disc and after a couple of spins I must say it is one of the most beautifully done albums that I have heard recently. not overtly Zorn in feeling, while a couple of the power cuts could easily be a vehicle for 'Electric Masada', and while similar to some of the Anthony Colemans the flow is just top notch with swingers interweaving the modals and folk forms. Greg Cohen makes you antsy for that new Ornette and Ben Perowsky who I have not heard much at all is as subtle and powerful as Baron.

didn't 50's Tristano play over enhanced overdubs of some bass stuff for it's lack of speed? edit : for wasn't that "Tukish Mambo" as well as "Line Up" from 'The New Tristano '56'? - but I also see that some say he "used NO overdubbing".

all this intellectual property stuff here is pretty petty and preposterous as far as mr. mingus is concerned. geez the guy was trying to sell some stuff probably to get some dough to buy some more stuff and keep the music biznitz as far as jazz goes alive a bit. and now i guess we should all go and hand render own avatars rather than simply grab a logo that some sod painfully tweaked away at. here, i'll start.

Stumbled upon Bernstein's 'Diaspora Hollywood' on iTunes. Sounds intriguing esp w/ The X's Bonebrake on vibes here? Anyone have an opinion?? (seems like lots of new Zorn catalog stuffs there so at least one can now sample the wares.)

man i'd love to know the solution to this as it is truly the missing feature in iTunes. i've had the same issues with burning out mixes of stuff from various sources - ie: mp3s, mpeg4, aac etc and aiffs when tossed all together in a salad of varied source files. sometimes you bump the cuts up against another source and the levels of the burnt product are quite varied that it is almost worth winging the disc out the window. the "Sound Check" however and unfortunately does nothing to the file. i don't think it can! it only checks the sound to an averaged level when playing out of the Mac or onto an iPod. it does not impart that sound to the file that is copied to a cdr. the only way i think it can be done is burning a playlist to cdr and then converting it all to a wav file on the way back in via importing again and then through some other software you can level all from there. i don't think Mac will ever allow such a feature within their OS cause it's all about selling widgets now rather than a fully featured product. ie: "gee this sound from the nano is much more enjoyable in it's compressed to hell state that i think that valentine's day cd mix you laboriously made from all them RVG, TOCJ, JVCK2, SACD and MFSL cuts sux big time!" edit to say this is only layman rationalization... i just wish there were a big knob w/ a nice old VU meter on the machine!

don't know this score ... altho i have always liked Wm Stout's poster art for the movie. Charles Earland is, I believe, on the soundtrack to Bakshi's Crumb rip "Fritz the Cat". May be that you are looking for some 70's Prestige sides? Boys!?

mine was orange did i clarify that it was a granny smith?

hey i had a candy apple green one too!! silly me had a pair of these Green Bay Packer helmet halves that i ordered off a milk carton on the front hubs ... still have one. and who knows what super-valuable Topps card flew off the spokes.

gee, i guess i didn't read closley enough. figures they were French.

ya know y'all post some silly stuff so here's another: if shelling them wasn't bad enough now we gonna have ta shave 'em!? pass the butter and a badger bristle.

WWPSD... what would phil spector do (other than shoot the messenger)?

"Couldn't It Be You" on Blakey's 'Theory of Art' was, I think, credited to Art rather than Jackie's "Fidel" from 'Jackie's Bag' right?
