Have a happy one, Berigan.

Happiest of the happies, Free For All!

On your laptop? Wow, I'm lucky to get them onto my desktop. Do women get some equivalent of the "enhancement" ads that I get? If so, these women look like repeat customers.

Politics. Never, unless I find something to post that might be a little controversial, then I'll drop by to post. And split.

I certainly miss "Joe". All the best, wherever you are.

Anyone want to include Bird? I think I would.

Monk, Mingus, Ornette, Golson would be my first-tier. Among those I usually recognize, Benny Carter. As a collective effort (as opposed to a single composer, I find the head arrangements for the Basie band (classic era) to be distinctive. Anyone want to include Bird? I think I would.

I can't do media on my computer (audio, video). Is this from his Jazz Alley gig last week in Seattle? I caught most on one set. Never mind. I got the link open. Same tour stop, but in the Pacific Lutheran University radio studio.

Yep. I see a gun, I run.

Chester NJ? I had a bit of a scare there. I'd had a job - once upon a time - Chester PA. Not a place I'd want to live. But yes, all my travel is business. Mostly USA, but could be anywhere: Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, Kyrgystan, Russia, Bolivia, Bhutan...Azerbaijan and Georgia.

This is a second-generation inspired thread - BigAl's birthday thread and BigAl's "Opportunity to Say Thanks". I travel and I know a few other board members do too. If you're going somewhere or interested in meeting up with someone who's "just passin' thru", post here. Week of March 4, 2012 - Washington, DC USA Weeks of March 11 and 18, 2012 - Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Week of March 25, 2012 - San Francisco/Oakland, California, USA Weeks of April 1, 8 and 15, 2012 - Torrance, California, USA Week of April 22, 2012 - Baku, Azerbaijan

Just curious: anyone date back to Jazz Central Station or the rec.music (.bluenote) list, circa 1990? Yeah, I'm a geezer.

I have the (sometimes) good fortune to travel, but the misfortune of a 100-plus-hour a week job. If work ever provides any breathing room I hope to meet a few more of you and have you hip me to the local scene. Until then, I'm glad that Jim and Organissimo have provided this alternative meeting space.

If you can do vinyl, if I recall correctly, it's got about three or four additional, lengthy cuts. Little Niles, Lady J...?

Big birthday wishes, Big Al

Merrill? Humes? Forrest? Ward? O'Connell? Reddy? I'm assuming it's one of the first two. Reaching back into my memory banks, let's see if jazzbo surprises us with someone most of us probably never heard.

I'm not a vocal guy. I'm hard-pressed to list three vocalists I can tolerate, much less enjoy*. That said, I do like Eddie Jefferson, King Pleasure and Jimmy Rushing. I'd call them all horn-like. * No acounting for taste, eh?

Not to provoke you, sidewinder, but this is a set I can see becoming expensive in the second-hand market. Unissued material (unless some Andorran puts it out) and overall high quality music. Beautifully supported by the book. Then again, I'm just kind of a Pres/Basie nut. Or general nut.

In store: $5 off $25 and $10 off $75 (vinyl) Link Good until 7 March

I"m planning to see him tomorrow at Jazz Alley in Seattle, unless it turns out to be Thursday.

Tomorrow - work permitting - Benny Golson at Jazz Alley (Seattle)

Running Low e-mail reminder this morning. Don't miss out!

Don't think of this as late; think of it as "seasoned" or "aged". Hope you had a great one!
