Well, I don't know about never...there's a Coltrane Penthouse broadcast from 1965 not too much after Pharaoh joined that's pretty LOL-ish. The announcer is all FM cool and suave and hey, welcome to blahblahblah and now here's John Coltrane and immediately BOOM it's off into Father/Son/Holy Ghost territory or something similar, just full frontal full bore energy. I mean, you can hear the melting. I think WKCR aired it..or maybe it was part of the Sweet Potato Pie collection, I don't know, it's been a while, but the contrast between what was going on immediately before and immediately after Pharoah joined is pretty extreme!

Was Hefti married to Fran Warren or Francis Wayne?

Possibly, not sure. I've been building a stockpile of things to get now, explore in full later.

Some of this needs speed correction, but still, Don Byas, baaaaaaaaaaad man.

Those who don't know history are doomed to be suckered.

just sayin'...

Yeah, I'd look for a game store, not a chain, but one run by/for gamers. Tell 'em you're woke and washed.

You did, and I'll second it. http://www.baseball-almanac.com/quotes/quokeel.shtml That shit be forgotten. But that science is still true, will always be true. Motherfuckers done got all cloudy-headed. Let me say it again - slaves to the goofy.

I was just hipped to a record with Ted Curson & Odean Pope backing the singer Clyde Terrell, whom the liner notes claim was the singer here. Can anybody confirm/revoke that claim, and no matter, who is/was Clyde Terrell?

Dude, I grew up in a town with a population of around 6,000. We had a drugstore, Jobe Drug, that had a little 3-wide/2 deep LP bin that kept the current releases in rock, Pop, Easy Listening, and Country, as well as a 45 rack right above it that always had the Top 20 hits. But dig this - they didn't use the Billboard Top 20, they used the Top 40 list provided by the rack jobber. This was no secret, there was always, like, 5-10 copies of this list hanging by the records, help yourself, and the jobbers name address and phone # was prominently displayed. The Shreveport Times (the then-"big city" newspaper for our area used to print the Billboard Top 20 every Sunday, so it was fun for a geek kid like me to contrast and compare, It was almost always the same songs but often in different order. thus the notion of "regional hit" became planted in my mind, which confirmed why and how I could hear different songs on different Top 40 station across the country (to the extent that post-sundown AM radio stations could be heard where I lived, which was well enough, all things considered). Jobe Drug also carried a selection of pulp "detective" magazines that told sordid stories about the illicit side of life, always one story about prostitution, and at some point those pages would have on topless photo, nothing splashy, just...there. None of us had the nerve to go to the town's newsstand and actually look at a Playboy, but in Jobe Drug, those detective mags were at the front of the store, the opposite side of where anybody worked, and were mixed in with the sports and outdoors and car and all the other mags, so, you know...word got around among us 13 year olds. Here's the obit of the guy who ran it: https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/statesman/obituary.aspx?page=lifestory&pid=106116639 There's this little tidbit, which I never knew: Always the progressive thinker, Jobe joined with Tom Perryman to sponsor Elvis Presley's singing debut in 1955 while associated with the Gladewater Junior Chamber of Commerce. Yes, Elvis played Gladewater in 1955, that I knew, it's still a point of local pride (sic). But I never knew that Mr. Jobe was involved. That makes a lot of things fall into place!

Over the last few years, as I've gotten into some committed classical listening, Supraphon has pretty much become a "buy on sight" label for me. I'm sure they did some lesser product, but so far, everything I've found on them has been excellent!

The band evolved. How could they not? Why should they not? I get the difference, but there was no point at which I said oh well, these guys are done, they're through, later. The closest I came to even considering that was with The Third Decade (my reaction at the time was, oh, we have our new MJQ), but then that DIW stuff hit and that was that. As for Brass Fantasy, that stuff was fun. Period. Serious fun, but geez, Lester Bowie not having fun...file that one under Unrealistic Expectations.

These would be broadcasts, right? This could be a really good record.

I have the answer to your question - Some people might know. But - they should not convey that here in the open forum, ok? I'm going to lock this thread, but your inquiry will remain visible and you will remain reachable. But...you know, this is right on the edge of the line. I can tell you that there was one commercially released live Supersax date that had one -ONE! - Warne solo of any duration.

No, I'm with you, I don't buy into that at all, that's some more absolutist bullshit, eliminating nuance altogether...it's anti-reality and I'm not a fan. The object of the came is to score more than the other guy, and you do that either by getting people on and move as many of them as you can for as long as you can before you get three outs. Nothing more nothing less and/or having your pitchers prevent the other team from doing that more than your team. All this "ultimate" shit is clouding the mind and making people slaves to the goofy.

Diplomat was one of the "supermarket labels", labels for places that "sold records" but not "real records", if you know what I mean. Don't know the situation over there, but back in the day here, you could find records in a LOT of places, dime stores, grocery stores, furniture stores, tire stores (sic), general goods stores, drug stores, a lot of different places. And only some carried current hits and/or major labels. Those who didn't, omg, that's where you got Crown, Diplomat, Design, Grand Prix, labels like that. And don't get me going on the places that sold cutout 45s in plastic bags for, like, 39 cents or 3/$1. I keep saying this, but/and it's true - records used to be, almost literally, everywhere.

There seems to be a lot of that going around these days, not just with those guys.

Hell, it might even be different people on each record!

I'd think it more likely that it was somebody we may or may not have heard of, but the record company gave him or her that name for the record to get a potential buyer either confused or at least wondering.
