Don Sebesky for this one. I like how him & Willie & Slide could be pretty forward thinking harmonically (in terms of traditional big band writing, at least) and still keep it between the lines for "Maynard fans". It's like they all spoke that particular language and passed it back and forth from chart to chart. Connor has never clicked for me, but I think I like at least the idea of her. In time, perhaps. Pour me another drink, Frank.

Oh, it's much bigger and longer than that. Those two used to be a team, on the same crew, MLB had to break them up to minimalize the damage.

Now the umpires' union has a sad. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a believer in unions, but fuck Joe West and fuck Angel Hernandez, then, now, and forever. Those guys are clownshows without the shows.

Yeah, well you've got imagination. Apples and oranges.

Willie Maiden! Little use for Chris Connor, a non-deadly "affection" for Maynard, but damn did he let his writers write, and this one's a gem. Free-associating from Maynard brought me here:

What is the source material here? Ruby Braff with Hank Jones, not in a big hurry to have that question answered, but Ruby Braff with Jim Hall? Hmmmm....color me intreeeged.

And now he's dead too.

Here's some truth, a hall has a natural 2-3 second natural delay, built into the house. Why you want to put some delay on it?

Most people are in some form or fashion. And once the soloing starts, there's no reference whatsoever, it's a totally different form. However, if anybody should be sending a message via litigation thretigation, it's McCoy (as was noted up higher in the thread, but not fully noticed). That piece is a LOT closer to this than it is to "Pent Up House". So, not a thief, just studiously unimaginative. That's worse, imo.

So that's what happened to Gene Perla! I'd been wondering.

Yeah, some things you don't mind sticking your fingers into. For everything else, there's needle-nose pliers.

1974: First time I heard this, I thought it was a remix by some really open-minded techno geek or something. But no, it's real-time solo playing. Not that it has anything to do with the music of the current band, but Herbie...assume nothing with this guy, good or bad!

Even if you don't use them for that purpose, they're useful little suckers in all other kinds of ways. Like, I use them for pulling hair out of the sink drains. Try tackling THAT sucker with a g.d. Sal Salvador CD!

I actually like Robert Goulet as a "thing"...can't stand his singing, but he's so...whatever he is, it's like finding fault with lemons for being lemony. No, they are what they are, and if you don't like lemons, don't blame the lemon. Me, I prefer limes. But lemons, there they are. also, the older I get, the less use I have for "songs", but also the more I like hearing lyrics, as long as there are songs with words, like the man said, know the lyrics. Just playing a "song" without having the context of the original setting including the lyrics (and verses where applicable), hell if there's not that, let's just not fuck with "songs" any more. That'd be ok with me, but... Just saying...thos tunes that take the odd jag here and there, or have the really distinctive melodic contours, a lot of the time, knowing the lyrics explains why that's happening more better than does just knowing "the tune". This here is still a mind fuck to me, I never knew that there was a verse, and I never knew how that first Fminor chord was a resolution instead of a beginning. Totally belw me away, and I don't hear the song the same way ever again. None of which justifies Robret Goulet, but nobody asked me, and he's been her and gone, so, he wins.

Yes, please!

Now that Mosaic's going out of business (eventually), now's the time to start spending those monies on things that matter:

Every home should have needle-nose pliers. Most homes should have a set. Those things are invaluable.
