Thanks for sharing these pix, @bresna!!! Looks like it was a terrific show!

It went "dodo bird"! No more. Gone!

Now spinning: I love how Bootsy constantly sounds like he's on the verge of cracking up, busting out into laughter. I can't think of anything else like this (aside from other Bootsy-related things)... So full of joy and hilarity !!! It's definitely NOT rock, imo. But this thread has sorta evolved into "Post anything EXCEPT jazz or classical" -- and in that sense, it works perfectly here.

That's interesting. I have the CD release, and the cover has that Pacific Jazz logo in the upper-left corner. So it's a bit of revisionist history on the part of Universal and/or producer Michael Cuscuna, eh? Liberty was in an acquisitive mood back then: Blue Note and Solid State and Pacific Jazz. I guess they were flush with cash. NP: Marlene VerPlanck Loves Johnny Mercer (Audiophile, 1978)

In a big band frame of mind this afternoon. Now playing: Earlier: I've been really digging this album lately. It's fun to hear Rich drive / flog the orchestra from the drum chair.

Not hard to understand why this album won a "Record of the Month" award. and

Ken - What are your impressions of this? Also, is it a new release? I've never seen it before.
