Judy Garland, baby. And while we're at it, let's remove the more child friendly lyrics from Winter Wonderland and return it to its original carnal intent.

I'm so sorry to hear this...

On December 7, 1941 Alvin Lewis "Joe" Pressgrove and Raynos Holder of Cascilla, Mississippi eloped. Over the course of their lifelong marriage Joe served in the Pacific, earned a law degree and became a judge. Their biography makes them seem somewhat staid, but their record collection from their earliest years together (discovered after their passing) paints another picture entirely. On December 6. 2021 WYXR presents a radio show is devoted to the records they loved.

I was just reinvestigating the Kansas City Five recordings from this set-the studio sides. I came to the conclusion that I need to revisit this more often as well.

I'm really enjoying Buddy Tate!

Thank you so much for the kind words, sir. Here is a bit of Louis Prima, with Pee Wee Russell, coming in at the 11th hour.

Hello! Yes, it was. I played it last night, but it is archived.

Wow! Thank you so much for the insight and much needed information. I am really partial to Brew Moore-this would provide a great introduction to Mr. Tjader.

Wow. The very first session has Brew Moore and Sonny Clark. As a guy with no Cal Tjader, I am intrigued.

Billy Kyle!

I caught Monk on a bill with Dizzy Gillespie at Carnegie Hall in 1976. I have been led to believe that this was his last concert. I was 19 and needed a couple more decades of listening to even begin to understand what I had seen. About all I can say is that I "saw" it.

I love Marie Bryant in that film!

Well, Slim Gaillard was Marvin Gaye's father-in-law. Thanks for posting this-I got a really positive reaction to the Live at the Strollers version of Stella by Starlight from Mrs. Duckworth, so I'm ready to let this roll.

As a high school student I recall mentioning to my Biology teacher that I was listening to Tribute to Jack Johnson and In a Silent Way. He told me that I needed to investigate Nefertiti. He was so right, and soon I started appreciating Miles records that didn't have electric guitars and basses. I found that the occasional teacher or older brother could radically alter my purchasing parameters by making suggestions etc

I lost a disturbing amount of hearing in one ear suddenly about 20 years ago. I was tested for all kinds of factors that might have caused this, and my EENT guy was baffled. His final word on the subject was "At least you're not Luther [Vandross]!" So I too am very interested in a knowledgeable accounting of what is available. Thanks in advance.

I would be hard pressed to make a choice between Max and Elvin-but I think I like Elvin as a sideman and Max as a leader-subject to change of course. These days I can't decide whom I like better Sid Catlett or Jo Jones.

King, Sunny and Cher Ade.

Neil Innes! I love this one. Besides being Bonzo Dog Band amusing, it is a really great song.
