Yes, we've formed a cabal. After the midterms, you guys are all fucked.

No, it would not be. It would be, per Lord per Mike Weil (see above): Note: "Black Narcissus" as "Out 'n in" (a retitling of "In 'n out") on Milestone, OJC releases.

You'll get this: and this: All for less than the cost of a visit to an effective salon - and it will last longer.

If I couldn't tell the difference between "current events" and "politics", I think I'd step back from reality just a little bit more, to make sure I was all the way out. Political cartoons, otoh, geez guys, it's in the name, ok? Does the special relationship extend to not being able to comprehend your own language?

Let me correct/clarify good constructions/compositions/etc. Not just good photographs, good pictures.

Seriously, I put those up because I thought they were great photographs, period. Same thing with the Melania Trump I just put up. Great photograph. Are we so distraught politically that we can't enjoy a great photograph?

Am I seeing that right? Is Max really on that record? I would probably not be interested in that record, to be honest. My interest in the Buddy Rich Big Band is, nowadays, the leader himself, and not really his playing per se, just the human intensity that he was able to summon so fully for so long. There's a tenacity there that fascinates me, because as arrogant as he no doubt was, there's a deeper humility there...the way he talked about Big Sid & Jo Jones...he might not have been humble in the generally-accepted way, but he was honest about himself, what he was doing, and the very real awareness that the bar had been set so high in so many ways by people who came before him. I'd like to think that that was why he was such a maniac and perfectionist, simply because he knew that when it comes time to play, fucking around and not being 100% committed is a spiritual crime.

No, I think that's legit, at least subliminally. http://www.jazzwax.com/2010/02/bobby-shew-on-buddy-rich-part-3.html JW: What about Reddie's other charts? BS: After West Side Story Medley became popular, he brought in Channel One Suite and Machine. They were taken out of his Casino De Paris show at the Dunes. I know because I played both of them there when I sat in. JW: What was the origin of Channel One Suite? BS: The Dunes show included a paper prop of a humongous TV screen. Showgirls came through the back of it. The channel on the prop was set to Channel 1. Bill just took that piece and brought it into Buddy's band. It was a great chart. JW: The same thing with Machine? BS: Yes. On the Casino De Paris stage, they had a machine set up. You know, The Octopus ride they used to have at amusement parks in the 1960s? It was black with all these mechanized tentacles and open cars attached. People would sit in the cars and get whizzed around when the tentacles started moving. Except in the revue, showgirls were in the cars. The song Bill wrote for this was called Machine.

That's what I'm talking about, those half-steps. Played loudly, proudly, and certainly mean to bite.

"Machine" with acoustic bass, wow! I love incorporating the dancers with the band (or is it the other way around?). That's some badass TV, in all kinds of ways. I'm going to have to go back and listen to Side 1 of The New One with all this in mind, seriously. Now...did they do "Standing Up In A Hammock" on this show? OMG, this episode has Cathy Rich and "The Beat Goes On". No matter what, that chart...

Well hell, that's more coverage than I had expected. I have a lot of it on LP, and that importcd price is < $4/disc. I'd be a fool not to do that deal right now.

My guess would be few, if any. He was not in any way a pounder, he was very controlled. I don't think a body could play that fast by pounding.

Price should check into hypnotherapy. It seems clear to me that he's a head case, not about life in general, but about certain teams. When the Rangers fielded a real team, we had his number pretty much the way ny does now.

What allure would "recorded in St. Louis" have had at the time?

If they tried to come into my living room, I'd blast some fucking Sonny Sharrock at their cornball asses and tell them to try that fetishized bullshit someplace else. Then I'd give them to 10 to get the fuck out before I feed them to my dog. She's still young and stays hungry. As for "Big Guitars From Texas", yeah, let them continue to be from Texas, not in it. We got enough wrong as it is.

Here's a young guy.
