Clifford Jordan and Dizzy Reece. Especially Jordan.

Really? Fiddler's worth getting? How does it compare to some of his other albums?

Has anyone got the new Verve Cannonball Adderly re-issue that just came out? Originally a mid-fifties Emarcy album titled Julian Cannonball Adderly, and yes, it's a digipak, but aside form that..... So far I really like it. J.J. Johnson is on part of it, Jimmy Cleveland on the rest. Either Kenny Clark or Max roach on drums. Anybody else digging this? (OK, I just realized I should have put this under the "re-issue" heading, but it's too late now.)

You and me both! What the Hell is the holdup on that, I wonder? It's not like it won't sell.

I like him in Captain Horatio Hornblower. (Directed by Roul Walsh.)

Good point, Mule! I'd buy a Complete SCTV set in a digital second.

Forgot to mention: Benny Carter: 3,4,5--The Verve Small Group Sessions This one's been a musical easy-chair of mine for roughly a decade. Musical comfort food, old slippers, call it what you will; I love every second of it.

Berigan, you should send this in to Leno.

As I recall, they ALMOST played Hawkins' 1939 "Body and Soul" all the way through. Thanks a lot guys.

You're welcome.

"Blues For Brenda"--YES!!!!

Big Six is great. Real nice sound to it, good arrangements, good playing. I don't think I've ever heard a bad performance by Fuller. Any of his sideman dates are probably worth getting just for him (although admittedly he is one of my favorite trombonists). I personally think the Mosaic box is a must----don't worry, you can stop there.

Lately I've been listening to some old Velvet Underground and Brian Eno albums after giving them a long rest. Usually when I want some rock'n'roll I dig out some Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, early Ramones, Undertones, or Nick Lowe. Or whatever. Depends on the mood.

Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery, GoM!

As far as I can tell I've had something like that since I was about 17. It got worse in my 20's though. Right now it's

I don't believe in IQ tests. Unless I happen to get a high score, then I kinda-sorta believe in them.

I'd like to see the complete St. Elsewhere, with all the original music, and the complete Freaks & Geeks (that one should only be a couple of discs). Speaking of recent good series that were strangled in the cradle, so to speak, having every episode of The Job on DVD would be nice. I'm missing one or two episodes due to videotape breakage.

That's probably gonna be my next pickup. I'm looking forward to hearing more Dupree Bolton as well.

Not only was he a good composer, he consistantly gave his tunes witty names, a rarer talent than you might think. "Don't Get Too Hip," "Funk In Deep Freeze," ---dozens more like that. These are great titles.

Another vote for the Teddy Edwards "Jazz Scene-USA." I picked it up right after he passed away and have enoyed it a lot. If you can stand the lousy host I think you'll dig it too. (Actually, the host's silly attitude has a certain camp appeal.)

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..........

Yet another vote for THE FOX!! An essential album. Also West Coast Blues and the Curtis Counce albums (ignore the cover of "You Get More Bounce-" and just buy it.) And what couw said.

YEAH, how about----oh...that's me. Never mind.

I wonder if they're ever going to get around to doing a movie version of Alan Moore's "Top Ten." Of course, it would probably stink. But they're already coming out with The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, so wether that's crap or not, if it makes money then look out for Watchmen, V for Vendetta, and on and on.
