I subscribe to a total of 73 magazines (and yes, I read them all, cover to cover +- 10%.) Probably 5 music mags among them. My favorite non-music mags are Reason and Atlantic.

Five or more hours of sleep. Ten minutes spent awake, but not working and not traveling. Access to jazz, even lackluster jazz.

In answer to the broader question - is musical taste inherited? - I answer: thank goodness, no. I don't look good in a straw hat.

Second: Eddie Henderson and Charles Tolliver Still Pondering: Luis Gasca (aka Johnny Spain) Add: Red Rodney (still playing well in the 80s), Nat Adderly (in the shadows for too much of this period), Wilbur Harden Underrated?: Woody Shaw, Blue Mitchell, Booker Little Anyone for?: Bill Chase?

72% of my music is by dead people... I assume this means "now-dead", rather than "dead at the time of recording".

Since I've neither a home nor an office, this thread leaves me both troubled and fascinated. I may go four months without hearing a lick of jazz. The, miraculously, my recorded music collection (in a storage locker) and I are reunited for six hours. I suppose it's like being away from one's wife; hopefully, the mood will be right. Fortunately, my typical time away is more often four weeks than four months. But the reunions are short. And frustrating. Thank goodness for the occasional jazz station (in the States or Europe) or a half-decent shortwave broadcast.

JamesJazz (aka Jim Gallert) has registered here, but posted only once--he's involved with one of the websites that Mike posted, and is co-author of BEFORE MOTOWN, a book that you really should check out if you want to delve into Detroit jazz: BeforeMotown I'd just come back to this thread to mention the book. Beaten to the punch. Second the recommend.

While not born there, I think of Wardell Gray as a Detroit guy. Well, at least until he moved to California.

To the 'worthies' already mentioned, I'd add Clark Terry, Eddie Lockjaw Davis, Lester Young (wait, I think he was mentioned), Ben Webster, Hank Mobley, Bill Evans, Zoot Sims...

Quit going out of town, would ya? Seriously, nice to have you back.

Man, are we having a run on "Armstrong" birthdays or what?

So, what's to stop you from printing and using ten coupons? Get 'em all! Buy, buy, buy! That's what makes the economy go. It's you're duty as an Ah-mer-ee-cun.

...but I'm curious. Is the RRKirk not available elsewhere? I haven't done any looking.

Ah, I know. I could sense it through the shrink wrap. Alas. I've quit.

HBD, UGA.

Happy, happy, happy...uh, where was I going with this - darn old age anyway. Oh yes...birthday.

Shots have saved my life twice. So I tend to see them as - if not positive - as necessary evils.

I spent a couple of weeks in a little ski area north of Barrie. Always wanted to go back in the summer. Enjoy.

Your eye for detail suggests you could be jazzbarrister as easily as jazzshrink Mea culpa.

Three RVGs @$9.99, less five bucks. Seems like it would work out to a deal.

Speaking of which, I trust you're not going to miss the San Jose Fest this year. Next weekend! As for me, you won't catch my in Politics.

On the other hand, I would have dug listening to the Kirk on the plane too.
