Forgot to mention Charles Kynard's Where It's At that Dan hipped a lot of us to. Needs to be reissued on cd.

Definitely a great one. I remember seeing him on Ken Burns' Jazz.

Anybody mention Richie Cole and since somebody mentioned John Handy, let's remember Sonny Stitt's Just In Case You Forgot How Bad He Is, featuring all three.

Oh well, at least I'm catching the last 15 minutes.

Here a few of my faves in no special order: 1. Shirley Scott - Queen of the Organ 2. Jimmy Smith - The Sermon 3. Fred Jackson - Hootin and Tootin 4 and 5 - Both Baby Face BNs. Didn't care that much for the Argos. 6. Johnny Hammond Smith - Good Nuff 7. Don Patterson - Genius of the B3 8. Shirley Scott - Blue Flames There are more; those are the ones off the top of my head.

Will this go into the archives since I won't be able to listen at that time?

I didn't order the Max Roach but isn't that a duplicate of what's on the Mosaic?

I've received my order and the Fol is a bit unusual but quite enjoyable. I am also listening to Guy Lafitte's Blue and Sentimental. He's very much a Hawk disciple but it's a great album nonetheless. Of note is Geo Daly on vibes. He's very good. Never heard him before.

I knew this thread was going to cost me!

I've got 5 of the 10 plus Don's Genius of the B-3 so that should count for something plus I only post 1/5 of Sangrey so I should be OK.

Patricia, My thoughts exactly. Earlier this year, after missing out on one of Ken's auctions, I started this thread. I hope it's not too maudlin to refer to it again. But I do it in Ken's memory and his time here on this board.

I don't think anybody mentioned Jerry Dodgion. He did a nice album earlier this year.

Man, that's awful news. I, as many others, bought cds from him and although we did not talk much, I did enjoy our limited correspondence. I'm quite shocked to say the least. Very sad.

I've got the CD issue of Lonely City so I'll do that one. It's almost done.

Oh, yeah, you're right. B-)

Well, I'll be 79 then so I better get ready.

It's all great man, but yeah, disc 2 is a great place. The Dinah Washington material on disc 5, 6 is pretty fabulous though. Do you have his BN and Pacific material. You should get that too.

Happy Birthday Moose I celebrate by, what else, drinki a moosehead. Moooooooose!

Too bad there's not a jazz equivalent.

I'm sure it's omission but what about the Jazztet and the Granz sessions. Also not issued here but in Japan are the Bill Evans Village Vanguard sessions. Both fine. For a shorter version, California Here We Come should get special mention.

Here's a little history of the Varitone. There doesn't appear to be too much on the web about them.

I'm not sure I fully understand all this. Won't the computer, the iPod recognize that the tunes or the computer equivalent is not there and proceed to delete? Also a rather dumb question but under file of the C: drive is iTunes stored?

Party Time, yes! I've been on an Arnett kick lately so definitely on More Party Time and Moving Right Along.

Ok, I admit it. I'm really both Jim Sangrey and Chuck Nessa Have you thought of therapy? That's what this board is for!

I'm not as expressive as Mr. Sangrey but obviously I disagree. From my point of view, the although the sound is changed, it's not for the better. Regarding what was going socially and politically, interesting theory, just a theory however. I don't see a bunch of other musicians who had as much to say as him feel they couldn't say it through their tenor or alto. I can dig the argument about wanting to say it louder since the idea was to go electric at the time. Witness the rhubarb when Dylan went electric. Perhaps that's the nub. Electric was fine but somehow the varitone didn't do the same for the sax as for the guitar. I hope you're not grouping me into that class of people who don't like organ since I'm a big fan of it. Also to bring up the "r" word for people who don't like organ (and there are many) is quite divisive to say the least. But I do see your point somewhat about the historical/social milieu since I grew up in the 60s. Although I may agree with what you have to say about liking/not liking the varitone, just because I understand the historical/social background doesn't make me like this gimmick any more. And it was a gimmick. I don't see that much of a benefit to it. And something having a benefit doesn't sell records. After a while he gave it up and returned to the alto/tenor where he made and had some big records. When people remember Sonny, it won't be for the varitone, thank goodness.
