  1. One should always buy Chico Hamilton records at the best price possible. They're full of quirky delights, almost all of them, some more than others, but hey, best price, that's my point, just never avoid them altogether.
  2. Where are you seeing this sale, how does it work?
  3. Well,Nero himself didn't hire anybody. It was a contractor.
  4. Big Al has returned from the wilderness, that's up for sure. Other than that, not that I can tell?
  5. Nobody I knew paid any attention to him or them. Nobody cared. The only way Peter Nero "mattered" was when he'd do a gig in the area and hire lab band players for the backing orchestra.
  6. The only freckled redhead in ours was a girl, and she didn't really care about it, she was just good at playing the parts. We did have some black kids, though. And, only somewhat coincidentally, we were all just as interested in Basie and Cannonball as we were Kenton/etc. And James Brown, can't underestimate how a new James Brown record coming out every day and a half, most of which featured somebody playing some kind of jazz-like sound, filtered into that mix. As for Maynard, this one here created a lot of common ground, as had the original. Oh, you'll dig this - the Kenton record we dug before any others was Hair. Maybe worth considering - it was called "stage band" then, and we played a lot of Don Sebesky "jazz-rock" charts that he had published by some outfit called Alfred Music.
  7. You tell me. Sounds to me like Oscar Peterson without the "sweat". Oh, fwiw, I can only find one album on Concord, released twice.
  8. "sensations" aside, it's a pretty weird movie.
  9. Joltin; Joe on the silver screen. Ah, with another three years of Pujols, they'd not miss him a bit.
  10. Crabmeat Thompson
  11. Yeah, I got burned enough on some mid-60s 25 cent MOR thrift shop records to realize that. I'm thinking, oh, good, Claus Ogerman, this will be cheesey, maybe, but some tasty cheesey. Nope. Not even.
  12. You got any swelling? Bruising? On general principles, ice, rest, and minimal usage. Wait a week or so, if it doesn't get worse, or actually gets better, more of the same. If it gets worse, go see a doctor and don't fuck around with it.
  13. They're one of those labels that if you like or think you might like the artist, go ahead and dig into that Pi. Using those guidelines, I've not heard a bum release out of them yet.
  14. Oh, I know he made some bad records. But when he made them, I can't think of any where he used a "name jazz artist" as the leader. I know that's debatable for CTI & even some Verve. But when he did them there, they were always "easy listening jazz" rather than hardcore "easy listening". There a big difference, imo.
  15. Ok, I see, you're saying that your interpretation of that phrase to mean that is bullshit. I'll not dare to be so presumptuous as to come between you and your personal thought process. Do carry on!
  16. I hardly see where the statement that apps gather data for further use is an extraordinary claim.
  17. I believe the exact phrase was " surveillance-based ad delivery system ". Seeing that it's not been disputed that data from the apps is being captured and then sold/shared/used, I don't see where the original stand-alone phrase is in any way bullshit. It might be bullshit if the claim was that there was a direct, A-B, linear correlation between app use and ad appearance, but nobody's made that assertion that I've seen.
  18. Claire Fischer & Gene Puerling palying Chase The Changes, ending in a magnificent draw.
  19. These people were crazy. bow wow wow
  20. I don't see where making a muzak album is justification for making a shitty record. Creed Taylor should have known better.
  21. I had never heard of him either, but that's not a surprise. http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/manufacture/0915/Andrew_Jones_Elac_Article.htm So, it's a pairing of famous and world-class. Can't beat that!
  22. 1. Maze (Remastered Album Version) 9:10 2. See I See (Remastered Album Version) 5:20 3. Rubber Band (Remastered Album Version) 5:10 4. Digg That (Remastered Album Version) 4:42
