  1. Yes ...along with the coach Fredricks coming down to breakfast while Bill is eating cereal scene. AKA the "Love Reign O'r Me" scene. Painful and hilarious at once.
  2. Ah. No wonder I missed it. "Friends"---how can we miss you when you won't go away?
  3. No. Where did it play?
  4. When I saw the title of this thread, I thought it was a plea for help in PAYING for your next Mosaic. (Not a bad idea, really.)
  5. Damn, and here I thought you were talking about Seinfeld.
  6. I was the kind of guy you would want to hang out with. Always very popular, tons of friends....oh, and schoolwork just came easy to me. Ahhh, the pleasures of selective/creative memory...
  7. Did I mention Horace Silver? I really like him.
  8. Tina Brooks Sonny Clark Clifford Jordan Paul Desmond Benny Carter, Lester Young, Duke Ellington, Basie, Benny, Bird, Pops, Mingus, Dex, Brownie, Tea, Evans, Morgan, Shorter, Rollins, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaok, I can't list just a few. Surprise, surprise.
  9. Let's see: Fats Waller, Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Coleman Hawkins... Were the jazz planets lined up in 1904, or what?
  10. Even the Satch Plays Fats album??? (That album KILLS.)
  11. AND you're not supposed to put your foot into open bear-traps! How do you REMEMBER all this stuff?????
  12. Actually, yes, I went there quite few times. I hear that it's GONE now!
  13. I have this set and I like it a lot....but, hoo boy, is there a lot of material here! The ultimate example of completism. (Is that a word?) Not necessarily a bad thing, but I wouldn't blame anyone for wanting to start with something smaller, then work their way UP to this set. But this being Mosaic, the set will go OOP sooner or later. You can't win. But don't get me wrong: There's great stuff here, I just don't know if I'll ever digest it all.
  14. Was he related to Janklow?
  15. Man, I'm getting all teary-eyed!
  16. Richard Brooks, as the deputy assistant district attorney on the early Law & Order. He was on for the first couple of seasons, I think. They haven't had a man in that role since. June Lockhart. One of the great mother-role character actresses on TV. Maybe its just the nostalgia talking, but she was great on Lost In Space and Lassie. Martin Starr as Bill Haverchuck, Jason Segal as Nick Andopolis, and Joe Flaherty as Harold Weir (the father) on Freaks and Geeks. The whole cast was great, but those three really impress me, right now at least.
  17. AND you got Clifford Jordan. Nice!

    Tina Brooks

    Oh yes! Over the years I've found more and more levels of enjoyment in his work. One of my all-time favorites.
  19. More J.J. Johnson. Y'know, there's a lot to be said for that one.
  20. Do you have all the Tina Brooks albums? All essential, not always easy to get. Then there's - DAVIS CUP FLIGHT TO JORDAN HERE TO STAY OPEN SESAME HERE COMES LOUIS SMITH and anything by Herbie Nichols.
  21. Benny Goodman--The Complete RCA Victor Small Group Recordings Another vote for the Verve Benny Carter small group stuff (3,4,5 etc.) AND "Further Definitions"---you simply can't go wrong!
  22. I used to be disgusted. Now I try to be amused... I wonder if Elvis Costello ever lurks here.
