Name this illustrated guitarist!

All for the better. #cantchangethepastbutcandobettergoingforth

ok, not what i thought it was going to be. Still, pretty lame concept, even lamer execution. Thread title changed to be more, uh, accurate.

Oh, I'm reducing. Just saying, comfort counts for a lot after you reach a certain point in life .A lot. along those lines, has anybody tried those Duluth Trading Company underdrawers?

Just wait til your moderator gets home....

I default to Junior Samples. and for real, wearing those crisp unfaded NEW looking overalls is not even a LITTLE cool. You gotta put the wear on them puppies before takin' 'em public. That's where Blakely fucked up. and then Wlynten didn't have the sense to say yo Bu, let's put some dirt in these fuckers, no, he said SUITS FOR ALL AND ALL FOR SUITS!!! and see, that kid shoulda known better. ain't nobody in Louisiana too aristocratic to not know somebody cool who stay outside of town..

People with a lot excess body weight can find comfort in overalls. Don't ask me how I know, just take my word for it, ok?

Honorable:

all I've caught is the SNL appearance (which I enjoyed very much, but with no illusions), I'd have to say a bit of both...a lot of both, actually. He's still got his pitch, though, which I don't know you can say (or could ever say) too much about Dylan. No matter, he sounds old, not a lot of breath left. And no, he never really had the "voice" for that song.

YUCK!

That Blakey record is not his best by a long shot. But it doesn't suck. It wouldn't be the first Blakey album I ever reach for, but it would certainly not be the last. It's one of those "it is what it is" thing, and if you don't like what that "is" is, then stay away. But other than that, it's fun enough, and the playing is, as always, top-shelf.

These guys look better in overalls than they do in tuxes:

There's no duds in here. If you like the artist, you'll like their stuff here. Myself, I would put in a plug for Ramsey Lewis's Mother Nature's Son. It's a cover of White Album songs arranged and produced by Charles Stepney, who also provided some nifty electronic music interludes between cuts. It's not "jazz", and it's definitely not the old-school hand-clapping In Crowd sound, nor is it the later, more produced Columbia ear bag. It is what it is, and I like what it is. YMMV. And the Gryce thing, might be easy to overlook that one, but don't! Otherwise, these are all known quantitates to one degree or another. Nothing sucks!

Painting's a good gig. Sexist! #WOKINGUP

Oh, Canada!

You guys lack either experience or imagination...

Junior Samples rocked 'em pretty well.

fwiw/to whom it may concern (besides myself)/etc - Berkshire has restocked a lot of Testament titles, including HSQ @ $8.99 per. I carpe diemed and filled out, not up.

no sense rehashing all that, but the only blakey band with wizznton j. frilliby that I really liked was the one that did Keystone 3. That was where it began to sound like a serious band to me, as opposed to heads and jams and jams and heads and all that and such. And I liked New York Scene better than that! And then, I don't know...might as well have put the overalls back on.

and then wynnton said hey art we gonna clean this shit up and dress right again, and they did. but really, a lot of good that did, wisnton got rich and blakey died and here we are now, not yet dead.\ nor yet rich (although some might be?). So fuck wennleton, I guess that's the moral of the story.

I don't know what there is to prove...he was a very competent player who had no compunctions about following the marketplace wherever it lead. Sometimes that was delightful, sometimes dreadful. But he always kept good bands and promoted from within. Not everybody ddid/does. And he sold a buttload - not just a regular buttload, but a BIGASS buttload of records in his lifetime. People who didn't buy them then won't buy them now, and people who are suspicious of success won't be motivated. But I like the guy for what he was - a competent craftsman who had a knack for presentation and worked with that instead of resisting it. I like a good popular jazzmusic as well as a good challenging one. In a perfect world, you get both in the same place, but how long has this world been a perfect one? And truthfully, I liked him best when he more or less just played the melody. Like Eddie Harris, he was very good at that (although unlike Eddie Harris, he didn't have fifty bajillion extra levers of gears to go to). I have some Herbie Mann records, and feel good about it! But stuff like this, this is nice, simple, soulful music that shouldn't enrage anybody and please many for as long as it's on. And oh yeah, Sonny Sharrock and Fathead in the same band. Live band. Hell yeah. And oh HELL yeah - Bruno Carr. That's all anybody needs to know afaic, Bruno Carr. Pocket enough for both hands and your daddy's billfold, that's the pocket of Bruno Carr.

And I like that he really cared enough to learn it right and play it correctly. Character!

That was the overalls band, right?
