The new RVG of Little Johnny C. Surprisingly solid album, practically co-led by Duke Pearson! And Joe Henderson is on it too.

Perhaps we should ask, is jazz yesterdays rap? Well, yes and no. Mainly no.

And in a similar vein: The Dick Cavett Show - Ray Charles Collection - 2 DVDs (Shout! Factory) Sept 13 — three Cavett shows starting in 1972 featuring Ray Charles (one of them with Charles as the sole guest); he performs 14 songs; includes new intros by Cavett ← Nice.

I somehow didn't get the Hill Mosaic either, so I'll be looking for that. ...And the Elmo Hope! That looks VERY good indeed!

No Cecil Taylor? No Andrew Hill? C'MON, Bubba!

Barred-spirals are the BEST spirals!

A little while back, I finally came across some Duke Ellington vinyl that I'd been looking for for sixteen years. The realization of how long I'd been looking for it just made me feel old. Nice to have, though.

You know it!!

Actually, Keith Richards has long kept a home on Canada...

Thanks for the info, Free For All. My thoughts and best wishes go out to the guy.

What, no Ornette?

I know what you mean, Kalo. 'Choosing' between the real giants is always an absurd proposition.

Actually, I was looking at these re-issues just yesterday, and they BOTH look damn good as far as I can tell.

Damn you, BN!! (Still gonna get it, of course.)

Excellent!

A barred spiral.....a pretty amazing thought, since for the last three-quarters of a century we assumed our galaxy was a straitforward spiral, like the Andromeda. In a word: woah.

Seriously...YES!

This doesn't sound good....

Don't you have to go to High School, or at least pass the G.E.D., in order to go to college?

Caught that on TCM recently---amazing! And it looks like Rooney is actually doing his own drumming.

They put out great DVD re-issues, I'll say that for them.

HA! Disclaimer on Maltese Falcon: "This is a fictional story. Do not try to actually take guns from young hoods."

So William Tenn/Phillip Klass is still alive? (I hope.)

Here/hear.

I'd say you can't go wrong in getting the Birdland and Bohemia sets right now, and digging them for a while. For sheer historical importance they can't be beat, and you can add to them in the future as the spirit moves you. "AHHT BLAKEY!!"
