Man with the Golden Arm

and for Chris' interest what used to be the best Mex in town is right next door. please advise if that is still the case!? welcome to the O

Some people, like my Dad, are allergic to cilantro and it presents itself as tasting like "soap". Remind me never to eat that aged guac in JSngry's fridge.

thanks JimR (as always!)... phew ... my pedestrain guess was just that and we know what happens to them...

it's good the coffee was on the desk!! is not justice enough!

thanks for those comments and answers. -e- ... you can read the swing journals?! that's solid info!! always wished they would put out a rag like that here.

guilty as charged! Okay, pal, time for the sentencing phase! :rsly: ... not a visit from this oger-man!!! so why is bossa so weird if it's a Jobim session? any link to this cut yet??

guilty as charged!

Maybe Hans can confirm or deflate my suspicions: might these 24-bit issues be just J-RVG sourced without the marketing blurb and expensive card stock packaging? Any evidence that these are culled from master tapes or are they just re-conditioned (more compressed?) TOCJ masters that were most times taken from LPs? And seriously, how much better are these issues sounding as I keep seeing the old incarnation of the 16 & 20s in the "offerings" forum and are they as fatiguing as others in the higher rezz format? Thanks

dagnabbit it was in the cache! oops my bad.

Hey Kevin, that link reads as $5.99s?

kleek

and for that matter, the Irish!

It is too husky to be Stitt and I checked that McPherson stuff - lightweight in comparison. Has that Vick sound, no(?) but we hear him later. Certainly not Ammons and it's got to be two guys and not Braith recording on both channels. So who does it sound like to you?

re: #14 - Thought that might be a Stitt tenor battle. Googling leads me to shrug that it could be a date with Patterson and McPherson? But only a half educated web snooping guess that has no merit for pulling it out of the hat!

i like the web site interaction with the little devil girl. get rid of the lip ringy and it's john mayer dressing up like hilary swank.

So now we know what them things are filled with. And here I was worried about the partially hydrogenated high fructose stuff. sheesh!

oh no wonder james sounds so good. Big Al's gonna get a talking to from you know who! clik

I think I've bookended my guesses from a prior post better than the meat below. Tough test and no clues as to the first half. Was wondering if Al had gone on some "low fat" diet until finally revealing himself at the end of this one . Googling aside: Track 2: Crazy vibes nicely segued from the Pompadoured Duck. Wildly swinging, and like the next five I have no clue what so ever. Track 3: More swing in maybe a Moody mood? Track 4: A bit of eastern sinew to this one ... has that Count Walk. Track 5: Some "rockin'" Ellington? all I can say... not enough Ellington on my shelves. Truly puzzled after having listened to the Nutcracker Suites recently. Might this be from the new re-issue of him NOT in the "Foreground"? Track 6: Another mad swinger. Track 7: Shoot now I'm really doing poorly here... Track 8: Tip o the tongue... honest. Track 9: Later-day Hutcherson. Track 10: Pretty song here ... as pretty as my guesses are ugly. Track 11: Duke Pearson with a bit of a march... I like this cut as I don't usually like a march - but since the flute is garoovy. Track 12: Got to be a reason for this score sounding stringy cheese. This one peaked my curiosity most as the odd duck. A little quote of "you've got your troubles..."? a bit of bossa background. Then it seems serious in it's long drawn out mid-section. At the very least this isn't even in the "stoopid" category. Too smart to be and not sloppuy enough to be cool. Track 13: Godfather pullin' the stops. I've only heard him on organ a couple times throughout the comps. This one is a goody!!!! Usually he's huntin' and peckin' but not here! Track 14: Thinking this is Braith from the 'Laughing Soul' since Green is not usually as "pecky", right? But nodding more to maybe Wilkerson's 'Shoutin'' disc. Don't have either and just a cut from the former on a comp. I don't think it's Green at all here so who knows. Track 15: Very curious about this one??? (not that i like it) Organ is a bit too "rinkish". Has a post-grease feel with the bass plucking along side. Some early eighties Crusaders feeling ... maybe? Track 16: I was beginning to wonder ... Al cleans it all up nice and "spiffy"!

very nice! kind of a georges rouault meets gaugin and does batik and if it wuddant aaht i'd think it spam.

thanks for posting another piece of news today. sad indeed that most will know more of Frank Miller's "Sin City" and the upcoming flik but will not know from whence it came.

edited (and I see now that Jim R had it all along): I'm fast forwarding and just hitting the reply without peeking. I have not had much of a chance to put up guesses yet but one track which was alluded to in the "sign-up" thread has been "bugging" me since I first cued it, doc: Intro Track: after much thought has my guess as being from "Book Revue" (1948). I think that was the one where jazz folks and other celebs get parodied? edit: I watched it last nite and yes that is the one. Glenn Miller, Gene Krupa etc ... and cut right before Daffy dons that crazy Prince zoot-suit and segues Danny Boy into La Cucuracha. CLASSIC! (made my girls sit down and watch my favorite toon of all time "Gorilla My Dreams" from the new set(!) a few evenings ago. once again I got those eyes! ) Outro Track: Big Al on his Wilson breeze from not long ago! I will post thoughts on the rest of this fine disc but just had to get the important stuff out of the way first.

I'd look for a deal on Mingus' "Passions of a Man" Atlantic box set. Overstock.com has it for $50 w/ cheap shipping.

thanks for posting this obit 7/4.

I remember way back at the old BNBB some B3-er guy was talking about how Rusty Bryant's the "Fire Eater" was just about the craziest ride he could recommend. I listened to that cut evey day to work for a week solid! Did here some Bill Heid on a recent BFT but can't recall who's. Now that Bill Mason, was he just a flash in the frying pan or no? And as for the Enforcers ... after Googling I see "Hey Jude" in there??? nah nah nah nahnana nah.
