Man with the Golden Arm

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.

good points all. in addition be aware of the feedback tally of who you are dealing with. i recently sold some toys and left positives for all immediately after payments. one buyer had 3 stars and i left glowing remarks as a newbie gesture. the impatient POS did not receive the item within six days, those being the two weeks prior to christmas, and left negative feedback before even contacting me regarding the status of shipment. my words via e-mail to her were not kind and frankly would make the political forums blush. i hope the item never arrived.

Damn, how many times over the years I looked at those Janapese issues in Tower only to think that Baby Face is just canola-oil in the great skillet of grease.

Very sad indeed. I had a few e-mail exchanges with him and he struck me as a guy with a big heart. I will miss him. My sincerest condolences to elizaBETH and all of Ken's family and friends.

Never, ever use a "Sharpie", them babies gas-off for a while. You can pretend to be Rudy VG and scribe it in the clear spot in the middle.

i had read form the gents in the know on the AAJ that the Japanese Fotana re-issue from a few years back (that I have a CDR of) was taken from an inferior mono pressing in it's original form and that the re-issue suffers from much distortion that was not on the stereo master? i have no idea whether that might promote some sort of future issue of the date but apparently that and the "Mexican Green" were not up to snuff of what "could have been". just paraphrasing here...

now to only get that "100 % Proof" re-issued! from that "other" jazz board that i only frequent on the third tuesday of months beginning with P i gather that there exists a stereo tape of that that is to be the holy grail.

Daffy Duck delivered mine, buttered my toast and drew moustaches on my family portraits! ...and that was only the first cut!
