Mr. Voluminous Noggin himself?

Thank-you, jazzbo. (I didn't realize she went through a "Sheena, queen of the jungle" phase.)

The article somehow fails to mention that an electric organ was named after him...

Hey Kalo, have you got The River In Reverse yet? If so---thoughts, reactions, opinions?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Check out the new cover for Another Workout: I like it better than the original (which I sold a few months ago in preperation for the RVG). I'm keeping the original, but I just may get this puppy---nothing like a good cover to get the blood pumping.

Oh, right, this was his little-known collaboration with the Grateful Dead.

No, but I'd like to.

Lucky Thompson was terrific on the soprano.

This is among my most favorite Blue Note material.

...tick...tick...tick...

I've got a CDR burn of Here To Stay thanks to a fellow boardmember, but I'm looking very forward to getting a "real" version! (I have all the others except for Happenings, but I might get some of them as well.)

Another European comics artist I like, who's obviously in the Herge tradition, is Edgar P. Jacobs. I have english translations of two of his Blake & Mortimer graphic novels, "The Time Trap," and "Atlantis Mystery." A very similar drawing style, but less pratfall humor. Even more 'word heavy' though. If they lack some of the charm of Tintin, they're still rip-roaring adventures.

Sad news. A great talent. Flight To Jordan is one of my favorite Blue Note "one shots." RIP

Kind of Blue. Still my favorite.

I heard about this on the radio this morning. The guy sounds like a major idiot.

If only!!

What was Jutta Hipp, a transvestite? I've seen this claim, that Dodo Greene was the first woman to record for Blue Note, before. But really, how can anyone overlook Jutta Hipp who had several Blue Note LPs under her own name? She's not a woman, because she's German?! I wondered about that myself. Just another example of a long-standing truism: When most journalists write about jazz they don't bother to get their facts straight.

Music will be beamed directly into one's brain via an implanted chip.

That album looks good. Love to find a copy. (Wasn't a color cover a bit rare for 1962?) If it's half as good as the Sheila Jordan then it's worth having. RIP

All of the above. Maybe I'm an optimist, but I can't see one of that list being remembered without all the others too. Dan had it right, I think: We don't just remember Beethovan, but also Bach, Mozart, Brahms, Haydn and so on. Some of us even remember Schubert. (On this scale, Coltrane = Wagner.) I think they'd either ALL be forgotten, or all remembered.

I've been listening to it over and over for the last week-and-a-half. I find the alternates are just as good, and sometimes better, than the masters. Uncommon, to say the least.

People seem to be interested in her because she parties a lot. Go figure. For my part, she seemed fine in the remake of The Parent Trap, but after that I haven't bothered to keep up.

If all else fails, there's always the nuclear option...

Yes, a very good series. Saw the whole thing on video some years ago.
