speaking as a shrink, there's such a thing as being wrapped too tight!

"And The Angels Sing," also known as "Freylekh In Swing," is an adaption of "Der Shtiller Bulgar."

once ya catch 'em, whaddaya gonna do with 'em?

yeah, i can see where you'd get confused.

also: Paul Whiteman Harry James Ziggy Elman Mel Torme Herbie Mann Herb Alpert and don't forget great composers who provided a starting point for jazz improvisation: Irv­ing Berlin Jerome Kern George and Ira Gershwin Oscar Hammerstein Richard Rogers Lorenz Hart Alan Lerner and Frederick Loewe Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg

sonic recordnow! came with my dell. it's basic, but it serves my needs.

I can't say how nice and easy compares to lytle's other releases, but i do know that i like it. i don't think lytle's lack of recognition necessarily stems from his failure to embrace the freer aspects of the music like hutcherson, dickerson, and others did. instead, i think that his playing may lack a certain distinctiveness to some ears. that, and he plays an instrument that, for many people, doesn't command the kind of attention a reed or brass instrument does. don't get me wrong, i love the vibes. B-)

yeah, but the winning bids are in the $60-90 range. i'm guessing some of these sets are promos and others were originally purchased from music clubs. also note that yourmusic4less is one of the sellers.

Eddie Jefferson wrote the lyrics to "Moody's Mood For Love" in 1952, but King Pleasure recorded it first.

damn. it looks like bud will be in alabama when i'm in town.

i'm really, really sorry, but i just had to do it. btw wesbed, i'd appreciate any jazz or restaurant recommendations you might have for tucson. my parents winter there and i make an annual week-long visit in april.

i know it's only a smilie, but damn, that's disturbing.

has anyone read davis's book, writings in jazz?

Dr. Davis is featured on a 1964 recording by Eric Dolphy that has been issued as Last Recordings ( DIW 320), Unrealized Tapes (West Wind 2016), and Naima (West Wind 2048). There are two other recordings by the collective Roots on the In + Out label: Stablemates and Saying Something. Then there are his four recordings with the Paris Reunion Band. Have any of you checked out Dr. Davis's webpage: nathandavisjazz.com? Apparently, he's the head of the Jazz Studies Program at the University of Pittsburgh. The webpage includes a full discography that lists seven leader dates other than the ones mentioned in the original post. The webpage also features some sound clips from a fairly recent release called Live Jazz at Pitt: the 25th Anniversary Concert. From the webpage: "This double CD captures some of the best musicians in the world recorded live on a most historic occasion. By calling on Grammy-nominated recording engineer Dae Bennett to capture this exciting evening on a recording, jazz fans everywhere now have the chance to hear the historic convergence of jazz greats James Moody, Grover Washington Jr., Nathan Davis, Jon Faddis, Randy Brecker, Patrice Rushen, Abraham Laboriel, and Idris Muhammad." You can order the 2cd set directly from the university bookstore for $15.95. P.S. Here's a Japanese concert poster, also from the website:

there are many reasons to love singin' in the rain. one of them is donald o'connor. roger ebert called o'connor's feature in the film make 'em laugh "the most sensational solo number in the history of musical comedy." Now you could study Shakespeare and be quite elite. And you can charm the critics and have nothin' to eat. Just slip on a banana peel, the world's at your feet. Make 'em laugh. Make 'em laugh. Make 'em laugh. You start off by pretending you're a dancer with grace. You wiggle 'till they're giggling all over the place. And then you get a great big custard pie in the face. Make 'em laugh. Make 'em laugh. Make 'em laugh.

just don't feed your chocolate-engorged mouse to a cat or dog! for dog-owners that feel guilty about denying their dog chocolate, there are many treats made of carob, such as the collie-eclair below. P.S. my cat Nica, who turned 14 a few days ago, LOVES cheese...and ham...and spaghetti sauce...and butter...and cold cuts...and roast pork yaka mein soup...and pretty much everything else that's edible in the apartment. And of course, she really digs jazz.

scottb - I don't know if you were kidding, but you should NEVER give chocolate to cats or dogs. Chocolate contains theobromine, which is particularly toxic to dogs and can be fatal. Although chocolate is equally bad for cats, they're more finicky and often won't eat it. If your cat eats chocolate, treat the situation as life threatening. Cats are small and it takes less chocolate to kill them. Hardbopjazz - have you or your co-workers contacted the local animal control officer or humane society? Even when using a "have-a-heart" trap, the experience of being trapped could possibly cause an animal to go into shock. I used to volunteer at the local animal shelter and saw it happen several times. As an animal lover, I applaud your sensitivity and your efforts. I just hope it's done right. Good luck.

paul, to increase your chances of getting a reply to your inquiry, you might want to post this in the "offering and looking for" forum. also, there's no need to yell. most of us have very good hearing. if you don't believe me, check out our obsessive discussions on comparing different remasters. B-)

It's possible that the Copenhagen club Montmartre may have hosted more live recordings. I'm certain that's true if you consider only the time period during the sixties and seventies when it was open.

"calling dr. howard, dr. fine, dr. nessa"

no complaints or barbed remarks here. how about a barbecue remark: that boston show was smokin' and tasty!

why not check out their website: rosenberg trio

thanks for the night lights link. i'm going to enjoy listening to their archived shows. to your knowledge, are there any other jazz radio programs archived on the web?

you're right, it's not the best adjective to describe the fact that blue note licensed these titles to time-life for a limited time to be sold only in europe. the fact that distributors have violated that agreement and made them available to retailers in the u.s. makes them, shall we say, illicit? regardless, they're a guilty pleasure that many of us here have enjoyed. B-)

Oh yes, I remember on an old BNBB thread that, unbeknowst to one another, we were both inside 'Pooh's Pub' the night the news broke about Lennon being shot? I was at the bar. That was you, correct? wow, i forgot about that. yes, that was me playing in a fusion septet.
