🤘My favorite Herbie BN. Getting prepped for the Herbie concert here in Cleveland November 4th: Hawkins Impulse!

That's deep. I think I know what you mean. There's some weird timing with my posts, please forgive me...

Can someone explain the "Whistle Stop" connection to me? My scant research from Texas to maybe a significant landmark has landed me nowhere; so what is the whistle stop business and what is the connection with Kenny Dorham? And, I am also editing to include this quote at the end of the description above of the book: "his whistle stop in jazz history still echoing." What is "his" whistle stop? And don't tell me, well, read the book😄

Always thought Ace was the real talent, Gene, Paul and even Peter were okay (Gene being the worst). Saw KISS with and without makeup over a 30 year span (wow, when they decided to take the makeup off, I was like put it back on!). Caught Frehley's Comet at South Beach in '86 when I lived in Florida. Cool. I was in the first row, so the dry ice sent me into a desert-like state for days. I have great pictures (I'll try to upload them) and even got an Ace guitar pick.

Just read about this yesterday, so young. RIP.

Love the album sleeve alone! Speaking of sleeves, MUCH prefer the King over the RVG cover, but own both editions:

It was right next to Bob James' Explosions, how could I not?

Grew up in the 70's and was very much into Bob James, Grover Washington Jr, Spyro Gyra, and Chuck Mangione. 60's Bob James? Wow. These are the only Bob James I kept.

From recent discussions, dug this one out: 👍

To this day, I have no real idea about this record and if the band gells, nothing (and no, I won't cheat and listen to it on Youtube).

So Pier Avenue. Musically amazing. Roy Haynes is phenomenal!!

Playing now. My favorite Hill record.

Vince Guaraldi always set the mood for me for Fall: and

+ 1. Yeah!

👍

Maybe I'm in the minority, but the 70+ mins single cd Columbia sampler they released of the Plugged Nickel, did it for me.

👍

Excellent choices! Maybe my favorite Hank Mobley!
