OT, but I shudder every time I think of how this guy ended it ... really sad.

I would love to join you Michael - PM sent.

Ditto, except the other way I would do 1 in a heartbeat if there were any 1s around.

Groove Holmes was remarkably consistent in the quality of his recordings, imo. I would just get what you can find. I've probably got 15+ cds, and I like them all. Agree. I have several on oddball labels such as "Beast Retro" that are great little records.

For whatever it's worth, I generally buy used CDs and I realize that nothing is going to the artist. I don't feel that is unethical, but it is shortsighted in the grand scheme of things. If it is a living artist or someone who is making a go of it themselves (our hosts for example), I will usually pay up for the new copy.

That one definitely kicks ass Yes, the sound is lousy, but you quickly forget about it

Me? I use of these:

Don Cherry - Just Across From Manhattan! Wayne Shorter - Chevy Nova Lonnie Smith - Putts Lee Morgan - Unfortunately Morgan Hank Mobley - Poopin' Grant Green - Parkay ...

No, he's really finger, goldfinger. Damn cheap toilet tissue... .....plus a steady diet of circus peanuts.....

I think that is a fabulous session - can't wait to see it. Rooster - how does it compare to Compulsion?

Thanks - sound very interesting ... Three records from that era that I really enjoy - Super Nova, Mountain in the Clouds and the first Weather Report record. All very beautiful, but have a definite bite.

Can you describe it for the uninitiated? Thanks

Horace Parlan - Sperm Of The Moment and you will note the sequel just below (edit: above actually) ...

(apologies in advance - I have been waiting for this thread since I was 10) Lee Morgan - The Cornholer Stanley Turrentine - Cummin' Your Way Horace Parlan - Spankin' My Piece

I would suggest you first absorb what you have.

UMKC. I picked up the fall history class at the last minute, which was very fortuitous given my situation. This will probably be my last year in KC- I am applying for full-time teaching jobs elsewhere(and hopefully will land one!). Sounds cool - I was first turned on to jazz through a jazz history class in college. It was an "easy A" type of class, but I was so impressed by the instructor's passion for the artists that I turned into a fan myself. Dick Wright was the guy, who is something of a local legend in Lawrence. He did a Saturday am jazz show on KANU for years. He also oversaw the KU collection of jazz lps, which is immense. He was also an accomplished opera singer and used to sing the national anthem at basketball games. Good luck with your search ... we will miss having you on the scene ... maybe there would be an opportunity at KU ... Dick passed on a few years ago ... don't know how they have filled the void. Would keep you close to Bryant's

Anybody happen to know the address (former address) of the club? I'm originally from the St. Louis area, and would be curious to pull up the address with google maps. Any other really notable clubs in St. Louis' history that I should be aware of. (Long shot: anybody got any addresses for any of them?) I kind of know a little bit about Gaslight Square (heard about it from my parents over the years). Was that the main hub for clubs in St. Louis, or were there others?? Being from the STL area, I should really know this history better -- but the scene was long since gone by the time I was of any age to even have a clue about it (I was born in '69, FWIW). I know my Kansas City jazz history a fair bit better, since I've lived here (KC) since 1994. For some reason I thought it was in E. St. Louis ...

I love these- I've been using several of them in my jazz history class. They're excellent, great quality. I picked up the Quincy, Basie, Chet, Dizzy and Blakey and they are all great. I'll probably end end getting the rest. Good liner notes too! Just curious Paul - where are you teaching?

Phil Woods - it has been a while!

Absolutely, plus the bonus live version of "Sugar" smokes!

I agree. It is very nice having the Farmer & Golson solo lps. This set is a winner!!!

Great record

I love his tune "Sugar" on CTI ... just tough, soulful tenor playing!
