Good thing Hefti took credit for these fabulous lyrics...

Thanks, b3-er. Let's see if I've got it right now...

Yeow! Are these turning out JUMBO sized on everyone's screen, or is it just...

Since my scanner isn't wide enough to scan an LP cover...

Great choice...for the first week during which I will have an opportunity to participate. Yes, I will actually have access to a CD and player for the first time in ages. Looking forward to it.

By the way, keep in mind that the pronoun "me" should be promptly banished from your vocabulary. Henceforth, "we" and, on occasion "she" (with an implied "me too") should substitute. The one exception under which the use of "me" is acceptable is in accepting guilt or responsibility.
The voice of experience.

Congratulations, David!

Oh yeah, Pony Express. I've read it a couple of times. I also knew Pony. He comes across as a pretty bitter individual in the book; he was considerably less so in person. He also comes off as conceited or 'a legend in his own mind'; again, that wasn't really my impression of him. All that said - not quite a ringing endorsement - here's one source for the book, along with publisher information, et cetera...

Personally, Flagstaff's the only city in the state (among those I've visited which includes probably every city over 50,000 population) that I like. Sedona's good for a laugh. Friends whose tastes I trust claim to like Tucson, but it's never really done anything for me. Still, in terms of scenery and geology, Arizona's a nice place. Just watch out for the silver and turquoise (sp?) jewelry.

Wow! Same as my IQ. How's that for coincidence?

Did Bridgework (w/Harold Land and James Clay on Contemporary) ever come out on CD? I rather liked that one. But I'm a tenor hound.

The Zoot Sims sessions are good. I like Basie Jam, though AMG pans it. And Satch and Josh (Basie/Peterson). The Montreux recordings are okay. The Ray Bryants are among my favorites from his oeuvre (though I don't have lots...).

Lady Bird was an absolute staple in my old band book, though every song listed is a true winner. Thanks Tadd!

All the best, Lon!

For me, it's Pres versus Hawk. Without these two, would the others even exist?
Pres may be my favorite, but I'm inclined to go with Hawk as the greatest. Without him, I fear the saxophone may have been relegated to life as a novelty or circus amusement, like the trombone. (JUST KIDDING!)

In my younger days, I used to wake each morning to Jimi playing 'Star Spangled Banner' (Woodstock) through an over-the-top loud stereo. And now I find Stanley Turrentine through a clock radio too aggressive? Man, I'm old.

If someone disses your favorite recording, or puts down your political cause, vent here! Done right, your rant could provide just the release of steam you need, without starting a flame war. Think of it...
"So what kind of drugs were you on when you 'grooved' to that lame disc?"
'Sure, Liberia today and Luxembourg tomorrow'.
Obviously, this will only work if the flames are de-personalized. The separate thread just gives physical separation.
Okay, just a thought.
