    Another year. I hope it's a great one.

    Playing through some Charlie Parker "originals" today. "Throckmorton the Plumber", "Yashitaki-Mikimoto" and "Half Pass Fass", it was tough not to think of Fasstrack on that last one.

    Wow, a bad couple of weeks for jazz. RIP Borah Bergman.

    Like sonnymax, it took me a little while to warm to his (early) playing. But I did, and I'm glad I did.

    I'm with you there. Everyone short of, say, Hitler, gets a non-judgmental "happy birthday" (or silence) from me. So, to possibly the two most prominent/household names in jazz, "all the best"

    Meaning. And It Don't Mean a Thing...
  8. BeBop
    Yes indeed, Happy Birthday!

    Occasional silence.

    Angel City in Los Angeles brews or did brew a Lester Young Porkpie Hat Dark Lager and a Charlie Parker Pale Ale

    Sidney and Wilbur DeParis (Later than the Dodds', in the 1940s) And Mangiones (Gap and Chuck) (1970s?)

    Insufficient schwing. Excessive skronk.

    Fake stereo and dubbed audience sounds. "Tom"-ing. Straw Hats.
  14. BeBop
    Those pianos used to "recreate" (for instance) Art Tatum performances.

    That time again. Happy Birthday, Leeway!

    Not really "in" my jazz, but I really hate talking to people about jazz - people who consider themselves "experts" - who have ZERO understanding of jazz history say further back than John Coltrane or Diana Krall's first album.

    Conch Shells Anyone playing two, three or more horns at once that is not (Rahsaan) Roland Kirk Excessive "quoting". Dex and Wardell in 1947 was one thing, but now...

    Vocals. Yeah, a pretty broad condemnation of a major element of what many consider jazz. But I just can't "do" vocals, Mr. 5X5, Eddie Jefferson and a few others excepted.

    I've positive recollections of my may visits to 333 Grays Inn Road (if memory serves) from - could it have been - the late 1970s? Early, early 1980s? And I did mail order when I couldn't make it in person.

    I think I could hear Jim exhale all the way from Mexico. Congratulations.

    Happy Birthday!

    Couch cushions!

    Have a great one, John!
  24. BeBop
    Slow down, man. At that rate, you'll catch up with me in about 20 years. Have a great one. Just one. Not five.
  25. BeBop
    Oh, I have. Several times. It gets a bit pricey and hard to schedule time-zone-wise from outside the U.S. So far, the calls haven't gotten me anywhere; it's always "I'll check".
