Tell you what, make it my way sometime and I'll not only make sure your pie has the right amount of fresh salsiccia, I'll make damn sure it is made by a non-union Italian. Cool! Can we make sure that they also work 80 hour weeks at less than minimum wage and sleep in the kitchen too? I bet that would be some DAMN good pizza! Mmm---mmmm! Spiced with human misery! Now THAT's-a-good pizza!

I assume you thank heaven for redheads as well. Didn't Maurice Chevalier have a song about that?

I'm curious too. Great compilation by the way. At first it seemed weird, but if this is a way to keep good music available, maybe it's for the best.

I still don't have Like Someone In Love----maybe it's time to get it.

The All Stars was a small band, not a "big band." Ah, as usual I see I'm late to party. Never mind.

Do I detect a New England native? I've probably mentioned it before, but the Illinois Jacquet box was a patchy and disappointing set for me. If you've still got it, I'd quite like that one. MG Got it and keeping it, too. I meant that it was "patchy and disappointing" only in RELATIVE terms. There's still plenty of individual tracks that I like and I'm not planning on giving it up in this lifetime, I assure you. Sorry.

Say what now?

He's a number-whizz! Thanks Berigan!

The link doesn't work.

I'm so far behind that I've given up.

Some is more like mental novacaine.

Jacquet in the Membran, so to speak.

Kind of like actors becoming their own producers?

What a guy.

Enlighten me. Well the liner notes spend a lot of time discussing a famous take of "Up and Down" that they left off the cd. It can be found on a cd celebrating Ralph Ellison. That take was the RELEASED take; it can be found on the vinyl LP of Such Sweet Thunder. At a certain point, Clark Terry plays a bit that sounds like the line, "Lord, what fools these mortals be." The CD used an alternate in which he doesn't do this. There was a lot of screaming about this when the CD was released, so you'd think they would have corrected it in a hurry. But nope.

A free bottle of IBC Rootbeer, now that would be something...

Were certain Magritte paintings the inspiration for "It's Raining Men"?

Yes!

On order. Thanks Chuck.

These are (or have recently been) available from dustygroove for $5.99. Presumably they are all being deleted. WTF???? Well, perhaps I shouldn't be very surprised. Perhaps one of these days they'll come out with a corrected Such Sweet Thunder (but I'm not holding my breath.)

...But you have to pay in pounds? What's up with that?

I've been getting Blue Note re-issues since the 80's and I still don't have Wahoo!

By the way, who is that "Sil-ver" guy? What kind of name is that?

Definitely one of my favorites! The Penultimate Truth isn't quite as early as Time Out of Joint, but it's close and recommended, at least by me. Couldn't help thinking that he should have written a sequel called "The Ultimate Truth."
