Man with the Golden Arm

Never heard either of these organists. Any recs for the above?

Picked up this 2005 reprint at Borders for $7.99! (in them huge stacks near the registers.) Wacky book and probably not the quintessential literate jazz snob's pick but a great, great selection of pix (only one of WM - being a judge for hipness), art, ads and lp covers. Chapters on organists, messengers, soul jazz, jazz movies etc... and even a spot on Mosaic. Cheap enough to buy one for each can!

here i thought this was about putting up yer dukes with that spell checker you hired or some emergency room visit after a porno snafoo.

Would have been great to have been a fly on the wall at that photo session though! ... anyone venture to guess what Jimmy said to that photographer.

now that was funny ... the others ? mmm notsomuch.

...those being "Uptight" and Cry Me A River". ? was there a cut on that 'Lost Sessions' Connoisseur that was a 45 as well ?

up for Claude.

Yeah, but the great thing is all those successful stormers get to download "The Who Live In Cincinnati" from iTunes when they get home!

the 18 yr old neighbor girl got one of these in cobra blue w/ silver wide stripes for a high school graduation gift. she earned a free ride to any state school she desired so dad gave her this ride for free. sweet! but it goes up the street a bit too fast for my parentally paranoid taste. i made her a mustang toonz disc that so far has received no commentary. cuts by lalo schifrin, serge gainsbourg and john lee hooker amongst others are probably not on the radar yet.

Just found by chance Ben Sidran's interviews from his "Talking Jazz" book on iTunes. At a ten$ner it's a bit rich but his chats w/ Blakey, Roach, Davis and on might be of interest. A bit too short (4:00 a pop), this should have been released in full form as an audio book. Download his "Don't Let Go" OOP Verve Vault instead. edit: title

Damn, I got to go check in on Allen's "Old Guy" thread... I watched the "bassomatic" "LIVE" on the tube during college. I've tried, but have no use for that show now.

it's not blurry at all if you had to go to the potty as bad as those kids!

ps: seeing that tranemonk is in MA i bet he's itching to get that "no sales tax in MA weekend" underway. get yerself over to audiolab in cambridge or Q-audio down by MIT. Tweeter is really BestBuy w/o washing machines. they probably gets Yamahas for dirt.

anything wrong w/ the Denon? seems to me, and I'm no equipment guy, that it's not much of an upgrade at all?? Japanese Watts to Japanese Watts ?? and Denons have always been pretty strong in their high end gear. sure upgrades that Tweeter sales guy's check, tho. my uneducated guess is to go out and buy some new "software" this weekend and keep it til you get something that's more of an upgrade.

sheesh! looks as though the horse was not the wife after all!?

Sad indeed. Saw one of the afro cuban all stars shows a few years back, and no Cooder made it even more impressive. The "circus" popularity of it pushing it over the edge for some musos, but truly an amazing night of music and (observed - not worthy would come to mind) dancing. Those folks were having the best of times and it was a privledge to watch them do so. Interesting serendipity I read was that he was born in a social club during a dance when mom went into unexpected labor. Gather that music was very powerful seventy eight years ago as well.

Dusty Groove for "Off Centre" .... ORDER IT NOW! he's as funky as Rhassan at times. Essential.

SJs would be the place but your going to have a much easier time getting to Looney Tunes. As you used to NYC vinyls I presume they might have some surprises. Getting up to Harvard Square from Brookline on a Saturday is not going to be pleasurable. Going to Newbury Street and "people watching" after your vinyl splurge around the corner might be more relaxing. (and despite that whole big-dig thing i find boston to be less and less pleasurable for getting around if you need to in a hurry)

Happy Birthday Lon! Maybe the moderator will let you play with her Maracas today.

Not to be the A/B-ing type but I tossed in a CDR I had of the CC "Oblique" and Mr. vG has out done himself! If your'e on the fence get off.
