  1. For starters:
  2. I have some real old Mickey Spillane and Raymond Chandler paperbacks with GREAT covers. I have to see if I can find them online.
  3. I LOVE THAT COVER ! We have a record cover thread.....we need a book cover thread.
  4. Never heard the cd, but I agree concerning the lp sound. I find the recording unlistenable.
  5. Yeah...I dig that cover 'cause it shows how Vonnegut was marketed in his earlier days. I'm actually rereading from a slightly later edition ($1.25) with a purple cover and slightly less trashy look that was the second copy I bought ( the first either fell apart or I lent it to someone).
  6. I read Earth Abides way back. Great book. ISH and the hammer.
  7. I think I'll have a drink.
  8. Hey Chris ! Happy Birthday my friend ! We need to get hold of Danny and do a hang !
  9. "Exposed" by Valerie Simpson. Pre Ashford and Simpson. It's great !
  10. "The Jazz Oddysey Of James Rushing Jr."
  11. There's a third volume on the Funky People and also there is a Funky Divas of James Brown produced material that is a stone cooker. I'm also a big fan of JB's early recordings. I can't remember if was on this board or the Bluenote before the diaspora, but there was a good thread on this, I think started by Jim Sangrey. There's a lot of us jazzers that definitely dig the funk.
  12. Ok - so the profile could also fit Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin....etc. It could also go as far back as .......Achilles ? I agree with the concept - I just hate to see Bix's name as synonymous with bullshitting. I'd prefer Bushing.
  13. What a great book ! I'm revisiting this after many years. I first read it around 1964 or 1965. I had never heard of Vonnegut and thought I was buying a sci-fi novel. When I got to the end I said to myself "What the hell was that !" and immediatel reread it.
  14. Thanks for an enjoyable set Chris. There's some really nice stuff here. Here's goes. I'll tell ya - these blindfold tests are humbling ! 1- Changes to "There'll Never Be Another You". 2- Nice take on "Indian Summer" and some very Lester influenced playing. Not sure who., Zoot and Al crossed my mind. Warne Marsh and Lee Konitz did too. 3- "I'm Beginning To See The Light". Well - recognizing the soloists (Bud, Rex, Bean, Cootie) led me tto 'The Big Challenge" . 4- Nice medium tempo blues. Kenny Burrell is my guess on guitar, Jerome Richardson on flute? J.J ? 5- Don't know. My first impresssion was Lee Morgan, but I don't know this track. 6- Up blues - don't know the track,. Trombone / Tenor front line - nice. 7- Solo piano "In My Solitude". Beautiful. 8- West Of The Moon. Again a Lesterish player, but on alto. 9- Don't know. 10. Don't know 11. Johnny Hodges kicks off the blowing. I have this. I think it's on the Bean/Duke album. Lawrence Brown, Carney, etc. 12. Blues. I'm gueessing Clark Terry, Oscar, Lockjaw,.Ray Brown. I guess it's a Pablo thing ? 13. Benny doing "More Than You Know". At least it sure sounds like it. Beautiful performance from all concerned. 14. HHTM. Is it early JATP? Hamp, Piano sounds like Teddy Wilson to me, Barney Kessel, definite swing era drummer and trumpet. Buck Clayton, Krupa? 15. Errol Garner 16. Up Blues Interesting writing. First horn sounds like a fleugle, than a trumpet
  15. What I've heard sounds very ragtimey. Hard to describe, but it's not early jazz "yet". Maybe an apt analogy would be Scott Joplin progressing to James P. Johnson.
  16. Got mine this afternoon.
  17. The essential 25 are well chosen, Augustin. Sure, a different group of people might have chosen a small percentage of different discs, but that really doesn't invalidate these.
  18. Welcome back, Congratulations, and ...hop in !
  19. Thanks Kevin and everyone. The cell my friend gave me is a Verizon and I don' think it is real old. I guess my best bet is to stop by a Verizon store and see what they tell me.
  20. Same here.
  21. My answer varies based on when the mataerial was recorded. I like 78 era recordings with the alternates following the master and I like lp era recordings to follow the lp sequence and put alternates and bonus takes at the end.
