  1. It's a good per-disc price, but I think I have it all? Is there a list somewhere?
  2. What is the sound like a foghorn at the very end of Sleepy Time, is that a mike noise, or just, what is that? It pops up here and there, almost like Carney on bass clarinet? But not really?
  3. Uh....
  4. Check back in 50 years, let me know if I'm still here. I don't expect to be, but you know how shit can happen when you stop paying attention.
  5. Neither one of those guys had a bad card, ever.
  6. My dream NLDS would be the Boston Braves vs the New York Giants.
  7. Perhaps not! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooklyn,_Illinois
  8. That's kind of you to say, thanks. Hawk continues to instill awe in me, more as the years pass, actually.
  9. Did he ever mention the "blues map" to you? That's what makes me lol the most thinking about him, they asked him where he was from and he said some really tiny town somewhere I can't remember, and I think it was Hemphill who jibed hi with that place ain't even on no map, and Bluiett came right back with hey, it's on the BLUES map! Everybody laughed and then he explained that in France or someplace he saw a "blues map" that was just that, a map of the US with all the blues people's birthplaces and such. NO idea if or how many legs were being pulled, but that was one of the best friend-exchanges between third parties I've ever had the pleasure of being in the room for.
  10. had the pleasure of hearing him in an afternoon Q&A session pre-concert with the WSQ way back when. A pointed, and pointedly witty, conversationalist. RIP, and much love here.
  11. That is amazing, truly amazing. Thanks for sharing.
  12. i'd prefer a hard copy, but none seem to be readily available.
  13. good to know, thanks!

  15. Is this the same record? https://www.amazon.com/Imagen-Latina-Alberto-Naranjo-Trabuco/dp/B01BE5TGXG
  16. Ah, Bridge, I should have thought of that. Thanks!
  17. Don Cherry! They got this: http://okjazz.org/
  18. Well, there's some kind of a jazz thing happening up there, not sure what, but something. You never know. I would advise all involved to do EFTs though, just in case.
  19. It would be doable on a Saturday, depending on my interest. I recall a jazz club in Tulsa that opened for literally three weeks called the Purple (or Red, or Green) Onion. One week they had Sam Rivers Trio, the next Woody Shaw Quintet, and the third week they booked an "alternative" big band out of Denton that I was in called the Kosmic Jazz Orchestra, which was led by a writer named Paul Holderbaum and contained Mike Smith, Charlie Young, Bob Belden, Chuck Schmitt, Randy Zimmerman, Bruce Hall, just a buttload full of top-shelf Denton talen who played in the 1:00 but wanted something else as well. And an oddball or two, which was how I got in. anyway, we played Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, never to more then 3-4 people a night. Paul gave us checks at the end of the gig and we drove home. I went straight to Kroger and cashed mine, because I was dead fucking broke. Paul called everybody on Monday, frantic, DON'T CASH THAT CHECK, THE CLUB'S FOLDED! I CAN'T COVER ANYTHING! I had to tell Paul that, sorry, too late, and he was like, gee, ok, I understand, but you could tell that the established pattern for people with steady gig income was to wait to get paid by a contractor or even the bandleader, the classic "the check's in the mail" thing) and then wait to go to the bank. This I did not know at the time. Lesson learned. So, that's my experience with jazz in Tulsa. Hope it goes better this time around, although there's no Sam Rivers Trio or Woody Shaw Quintet left to go broke on.
  20. Too bad I can't get up there. I'd love to meet Ethan Iverson!
  21. Found myself enjoying the songs from a musical standpoint but kinda being revolted by the singer. Any suggestions, especially for the Carter pieces?
