where would we go to buy these Hot Hit 78s, what kind of shelving would be used, what kind of distributing? Will we go back to relying on sailors and porters? I'm sure I would be delighted, but also confused, will my furniture stores go back to selling records, where is all this real estate coming from. delighted, yes, but still confused.

At first, yeah. But when I got down to it on Saturday, the combination of extreme fluency and extreme indifference made it pretty easy to track down. With Pee Wee Elllis at the helm, it's like a lost Kudu track, one that was probably lost on purpose...

and Mingus

What will there - of note, anyway - be that's not been out already? I think a Bill Barron set would be more needed. Or, if Cuscuna's retired or whatever, have we seen the end of Mosaic dealing with anything past a certain "point" of evolution?

Listening to a few other cuts off that record, solid grooves, a Pee Wee Ellis joint, but geez, Sonny Stitt did not have to be on that record (and sounds like he maybe had other plans for the day)...Grover Washington would have added more to it than he did. Hell, maybe even Lou Donaldson would have too. Seriously, Tornado is better than this, This is like, ok we got tracks, now who can we get to play over them? Stitt? Yeah, ok, Stitt'll play on any damn thing. Get Dtitt in her tomorrow, we got a few hours free, cool, let's make a Stitt record, he owes us one anyway. Go to the bank, get the cash, let's do it. Sam Brown on guitar? Really now, that's a bit of an unexpected thing! And Will Lee...people forget that before he was such a schmuck, Will Lee had cred. But Sam Brown, wow! Not Phil Upchurch, Sam Brown, RIP.

The only thing I'm trying to figure out is #9, just because if it's not Lou Donaldson, I don't know who else would be so lazy/cynical/whatever as to run all those overt bebop licks that have nothing to do with the cut (not that the cut itself has a lot to do with anything). Guitarist reminds of Phil Upchurch once I listen. But it's the alto player that the attention-grabber here, just not for any good reason. I would think Jerome Richardson on a Quincy Jones album, and maybe that's Harvey Mason, so hell if I know. Now, Sonny Stitt would be that lazy, especially on those diminished chords, but lord, I've heard Sonny Sttitt be disinterested, but never THIS disinterested, and the tone is really not Stitt's. omg, that is Sonny Stitt, I thought that "classical" melody sounded familiar... Ok, everything else, that RVG piano trio will get figured out by somebody. My work here is done.

I can, I just don't. Now, why is there a Frank Taveras card on the MP3s in WMP?

This syrup is more Robitussin than Karo.

Wow, that's Elvin. Serves me right for not listening past the intro. Two technical questions about this DL, btw: Is it supposed to be that most of the files are mp3 but a few are mp4? why do the mp3 files all show this in WMP (the mp4s open in Foobar)?

Finally reached critical mass of seeing this guy's name and not really knowing who the hell he was, so, here are the credits: https://www.discogs.com/artist/271024-Cal-Lampley?page=1 and here is at least one version of the story: https://www.allaboutjazz.com/odd-man-out-uncovering-the-life-of-cal-lampley-cal-lampley-by-martin-gladu.php?pg=1 and here's some pictures https://www.scribd.com/document/335689019/Who-Was-Cal-Lampley and it's a helluva lot more interesting than I thought it would be, the whole thing is..

Cal Lampley strikes again. How come he's not a bigger name?

hey!
