Actually , thinking about it again I would go with Johnny Hodges perhaps...ooooohh now I am being indecisive

charlie parker?

I am devastated (and hungry now) Off for more revision

I remember him talking on the radio BBC Radio 3 and he mentioned John Coltrane as his inspiration etc...is that right...do I get the chocolates?

I know we have a youtube thread but saw this and thought it needed special attention Lots of organ stuff here enjoy wallow etc

listened to this again last night and yes I feel it is much more Larry Young than Patton. Did enjoy it though and read references to it in the Sharon Green book . The sound ain't so good on my copy ( 32 jazz) but it still cooks! As a quick test I whipped it out and shoved in the Grant Green His Majesty King Funk from verve with Larry Young and it sounded just like the Iron City combo..... mind you I have been wrong about it for this long (never noticed it before )

Gosh Next thing they might ask for a cuddle (eeewww!) Thin end of the wedge I am afraid Get yer ya yas out...(musically speaking of course!) would be my next request

humbled by praise (with head in virtual 'e' record bin waiting for next challenge!) Actually this is kind of fun.....who is next? I guess I miss the ol days when I used to have records *sniff* and rooting through record collection praying for a new find but this internet stuff sure comes a close second.

Answers a Its not there anymore b Version 4.93 has been replaced with 7.2 Beta (not available in Wales) check pms

I remember the only negative feedback I had was when I was selling LPs via ebay and was shipping to this guy in the states....he sends the money which arrives a few days after the auction (pre pay pal over here) and the day after!!!! posts negative feedback ...WHERE IS MY RECORD etc etc RIP OFF...I responded and advised patience as the record was still in the plane on its way over the pond....he was very humble and apologised and had forgotten I was (like his money was) in the UK! Doh! I always thought (after I got it very wrong at the beginning that Near mint was just that...Mint was visually unplayed/touched...not a blemish, new etc Near mint was just that...not quite..with explanation...no NM- it was then VG... I stopped selling records as it was a little complicated A

It was his Blue Note stuff for me if I remember. Actually never made a big secret of the fact that until about 4-5 years ago that was all the Miles I really listened to. Although now I do have the Prestige sides and Columbia ealrier stuff and some other stuff..........never really done much for me. Certainly never made my foot tap the same way that other stuff from that era did or any other era he played in

Yup both the same, I got the one on the top and the red one (vol 2) . They were my fav books for years.....also got the japanese ones too when I could

Speaking of that Savoy/Denon Jordan, what a great trio drummer Blakey was! Too bad that aren't that many opprtunities to hear him in that context -- Jordan, Monk, Herbie Nichols, Horace Silver, who am I forgetting?

that will teach me to read all the posts without running off downstairs to find the cd.....or thinking We will get you back for that one........grrrrrr

Yet more info from this site about vee jay which confirms the 55/56 date http://hubcap.clemson.edu/~campber/veejay.html 1955 Early in 1955 Ewart Abner became the company’s general manager, formalizing a silent role he had assumed since Vee-Jay’s formation in mid-1953. Around June 1955, Vee-Jay followed Chess and other companies north to the record row on Michigan Avenue, just south of Chicago’s downtown—where mainstream companies and distributors had been gathering since after World War II. Vee-Jay established itself at 2129 S. Michigan. With the move, the company also began handling its own distribution for Chicago and surrounding areas. Vee-Jay recorded a full array of talent during the year—jazz, blues, rhythm and blues, doowop, and gospel. An important addition to the company’s jazz line was Wardell Gray, who unfortunately died at age 34, within months of his first recording session with the label. Other jazz acts—perhaps broadly defined—making their debut on Vee-Jay were Baby Face Willette, Jay McShann, and Big Jay McNeely. Three outstanding additions to the gospel lineup were the Highway QC’s, the Famous Boyer Brothers, and the Staple Singers, the latter who would prove the label’s biggest gospel hitmakers. Two significant vocal groups also signed with the company in 1955, the Dells and the Kool Gents........... Soul-jazz and hard bop pianist/organist Baby Face Willette was born Roosevelt James Willette on September 11, 1933, in Little Rock, Arkansas (though some sources say he was born in New Orleans and raised in Little Rock). His first formative experiences in music were in gospel, where he accompanied gospel singers. His first session was done for Recorded in Hollywood, in 1952; not long afterward, he settled in Chicago. The session he cut for Vee-Jay was his second. His singing and organ playing were supported by a band featuring Red Holloway (tenor), Jon Thomas (piano), Lefty Bates (guitar), Rhodell Fox (bass), and Moses Weedseed (drums). 55-332 Baby Face Willett [sic] Why Vee-Jay 176 Sept 29, 1955 c.

Its get worse......over here you get the ones who examine for hours upon hours and then worse still, those who are undernourished and what a mini feast (eeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwww!) which is not fun to watch. Last but by no means least is the ones who pick and flick (usually in toilets or confined spaces)..oh my god..makes me want to yell howcouldyoudosuchaselfishfuckinthinglikethat! but as I am in the toilet, on my own, and they have gone it would be rather silly Picking's one thing-eatingand or flickin...barf!
