I listen to him whenever/wherever he turns up. And I really only listen to Miles anymore when some new bootleg shows up. Been there done that, no sense in overkill. Still waiting for the live Jungle Band set tho. I will be comparing Miles' organ playing to Morris's. Apples to apples, at least closer. Still check this one out pretty regularly tho: Oh, Milt Buckner. If you don't dig Milt Buckner, you are wrong for jazz. Wrong, period imo.

Not matured? It was how people played at the time. Didn't sound like they lacked for ideas or skills or anything. Wild Bill Davis was another one, popular in his time, but those things are all but forgotten today. It's his later work that is known today. Too bad. It's all good. No matter. There's two ways to listen to stuff like this - be spoken to by it andllearn from it or else try to teach it and scold it.

That's a good record. The music sounds like the cover and vice-versa.

I'm under the impression that Marlowe ,Morris was very popular in Harlem for quite a while.

Almost! But not quite!

With the LP set, I found that one side of an LP was enough to fill me up. There's so much there!

They got lots of jazz radio play here back in the day. I found them clever, not great soloists, but always interesting writing.

I still use Firefox just because I've yet to have a reason not to.

I'd like to know what that interview with Sly was where he was totally lucid. Red sweater, obviously after the fall. I'd like to see the entire thing.

Apparently he was a BIG Ben admirer.

My guess would by Byas and or Ben. They both founds ways of doing that "sound as sound thing" to some extent, in the way that Percy and especially Lock did. Breathing the same air!

Ok, they definitely seem to have been breathing some of the same air as far as saxophone mechanics go. Fascinating, as not very many others have!

How do Percy and Lockjaw line up chronologically?

People who weren't there for it probably don't realize the power of Sly at his peak and therefore the power of his fall. He remains a hero to me, fall and all.

Never forget.

I'm increasingly enamored of streaming. Space is almost gone and money has to last for however long forever is going to be. And for the hyper-recorded like Stitt, Braxton, Konitz, Shepp, etc. I want to hear it all, but damned if I want to own it all. Reviews...a lack of an understanding social context doesn't affect the objective qualities of the playing (the "how") , but it sure as hell affects the comprehension of the "why", and therefore the "meaning". This shit takes work. Maybe it's worth it. Maybe it's not. But if it's not fun, leave it be. And if it is, go all in. Or not.

Is she doing this gig without accompaniment?

This record will appeal to fans of _____. Why? Because it's a good record or just because it's _____ ? And if I'm not especially a fan of _____, is there enough of something in there that I would be well-advised to still check it out? I get that generalism has it's place, but jeez...an excess of adjectives is just the flip side of not enough, maybe? Or maybe an informed star rating system ain't the worst thing? Just buy everything until you figure it out for yourself. Even better, stream everything first. It costs less and you don't have to mess with traffic and other people who you wish were any place besides in your way.
