Sounded good.

Who was the drummer on the Schneider?

Your local station might have been showing Video Village reruns, but the show was off the daytime air by 1962. You sure it wasn't As The World Turns? Still, Video Village!

Tonight's (saturday's) DSO Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 5 Beethoven Symphony No. 3 Topical programming at its best!

She looks familiar.

Artie Bernstein, not Harry Goodman.

Wow...did not know that he had passed that long ago. My bad. First heard him on Joe Henderson In Japan and was delighted to catch him live with Joe at Sweet Basil (or Fat Tuesday...memory is starting to slip) but yeah, he was indeed superb. Him and Joe were locked in all night.

Ok, I have something to offer - Billy Eckstine Once More With Feeling, a really fine 1960 Roulette date with big bands arranged by Billy May. It's the Fresh Sounds CD issue, not the EMI one. I bought it used on amazon thinking that it was the EMI, remastered by Malcolm Addey and featuring two "bonus cuts" of a very commercial-pop-R*B 45. That was what I wanted, but it's not what I got, so fuck it, I paid for a new copy, got it, and now have this leftover, which i will gladly send anywhere in the world, unless postage gets, like gonzostoopidcrazy. Jewel case, booklet and disc are all in excellent shape, with the stipulation that there's an inventory sticker on the outside back jewel case that takes up, about 1/12 of the total real estate. But I look at that like, hey, it's Fresh Sounds, it's just a jewel case, and it's free. If that's a problem, then this is not the deal for you! Quirky but essentially correct AMG review here: http://www.allmusic.com/album/once-more-with-feeling-mw0000035903 and here, try this: Me, it took me a while to really "get" Eckstine, but if you have already gotten there, or think you might want to get something free, then this is the deal for you. It's not gonna be for everybody, but if it's for you, then here it is - for you. PM me, and parallel-y claim it here, please.

Correct, afaik. There's this Laserlight, but none of the contact info looks US, so....I don't know how that works.

Just curious, don't have hi-end equipment, but I have had dusty/dirty knobs and stuff, but it's never sounded gargly, it's been more like static/fuzzy. Does the better stuff have a different interaction with dusty/dirty? And hell, get the exorcism anyway. One cannot be too careful these days!

There's a varientcy of them (Paris), here's one that's cheap: https://www.amazon.com/Olympia-Oct-1960-Miles-Davis/dp/B00006IJ0A/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1506707571&sr=8-12&keywords=miles+davis+sonny+stitt but search broadly here: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=mils+davis+sonny+stitt imo (and only imo) the dates with Stitt, I can listen to once and be happy to hear Miles being the arsonist for once, but after that, it's Stitt, Kelley, and Co. operating at a high level of uh....what's changed here, nothing? Seems like Miles was the only one who really felt the void.

And his brother is a damn FINE drummer. Caught him playing with Joe Henderson once and the fire was real.

Personally, I find such comments quite amusing in an obituary thread!

Nah, probably time for Eddie Harris before the day's over.

One lesson the kid should have learned is that if a bandleader takes your sticks away from you, just stop cold and stare at him. The next move is on him, and he's going to at some point have to say oh, yeah, we gotta start playing again. A variant of a lesson I learned working with a really nutso party band leader who would just start ranting at the band after a number, but never at anybody in particular, it was just this really rabid monologue, usually we were on a platform but this one night we were direct on the floor, and people were really looking at this guy, like, it was getting really uncomfortable, so I finally spoke up and said dude, what's the next tune, and that snapped him out of it. Lesson learned. But if I had been a teenager, lord know what I would have done...I might have engaged him in his rant and then...shudder... Still, when a headliner takes your sticks away from you, that's more than just a hint, right? Kinda like when you sit in and the whole band stops playing after a few choruses...seen that happen too, and the guy was talking afterwards about how they had to lay out because they couldn't keep up with him....jeesh, somebody should have slapped THAT motherfucker, he was a grown man.

The musical equivalent of the middle finger takes many forms...that might be one of them. Or it might have been a show of determination. But they had been working together for a month, so I would allow for the possibility (which is not the same as having an emotional response, btw) that this was not the first time the two had "artistic differences", in which case, kid, you're NOT Terumasa Hino, ok, you're not here to teach HIM, dig? Then again, Maybe Terumasa Hino is just an old man who's losing his shit. I'll allow for that possibility as well. BTW - this thread has afforded me the opportunity to add "Teramasu" to my board spell-check dictionary.So, something good comes from even the worst tragedy.

Ah, Hostess! THOSE guys!
