Late

Do you know why the site is closing? I couldn't find any information about it. It's kind of amazing to me that Vinny put out a physical (!) 12-disc box set.

Oni Puladi makes me feel like I'm listening to a backward Beatles guitar solo. Very cool that that Edelhagen record exists. For me, the most enduring version of "Ida Lupino" is on Paul Bley's Closer, the version with John Gilmore coming in a close second.

Same. My way in to Brazilian music came through Jorge Ben's early records. (Really looking forward to the upcoming reissue of Pascoal's Hermeto, originally on Cobblestone.)

I haven't. Where should one start?

That is a swinging record. Excellent really, but for some reason I've never been able to connect with it. Zoot was like Johnny Hodges in that he (almost) never played a flawed solo, but there is such a thing as Zoot over-saturation. Probably even Zoot would have agreed to that. Still, when he was on, it's like the best breakfast, the best coffee, and the finest slippers one can imagine. (Other analogies rightfully apply.) I think I find Al overall more exciting, but Zoot more reliable (if that makes any sense). I love both.

Listen to "Naked Hamlet." On YouTube. 1972. Brilliant but (indeed) unsustainable.

You're going to love it! (I don't have the SACD though; just the regular OJC.) Sublime music. Everybody collects in different ways, but I'd recommend, with Zoot, starting with the Pablos and working backward. The early work is good, but the Pablos have so much nuance to them. Oh, and (if you don't have it already) look for Zoot's Argo date, titled ... Zoot! That one is special. I also love the two ABC/Paramount records with overdubs, but I might be in the minority there.

Jackie seems looser on this date. Maybe because it wasn't his?

I'd never seen Hobart Dotson before. Love his work with Sun Ra.

I did the same thing yesterday! Mine were: 1. The Black Saint & The Sinner Lady 2. Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus 3. Oh Yeah! 4. Mingus Present Mingus 5. Mingus (Candid) 6. Pre-Bird 7. East Coasting 8. Mingus Ah Um 9. Blues & Roots 10. Changes (Vol.s 1 & 2)

Really enjoying this one tonight:

Absolutely. It took Luke a while to get those ii-V-I's down.

A person has to be in possession of the Executive Blu-Ray Director's Cut edition of the series. The Empire Strikes Back adds 42 minutes of Yoda spinning his favorite vinyl in Dagobah. The jedi master was partial to the Tristano school.

Thanks for sharing that video. It made me want to hear more Jeanne Lee!

I forgot that I started a Noto thread 15 years ago. Listening to Act One right now.

Always by memory too!

Truth.

Yes.

Available for pre-order on Amazon. Instead of chocolate rabbits.

Underrated?

My Friend Andamo. I wonder who played bassoon for Mancini.
