Hmmm.... About Osie, perhaps...but a club gig and a record date, especially for RCA in those Neo-Basie Craze days...like the man himself said, Don't Bug Me, Hug Me! and by hug me, he might well have meant pay me! talking about dancing to a hard beat, the Pie Eye sequence in Anatomy Of A Murder, that's how I think "common people" relate to a beat, it it's got that groove, then they will move.

That sounds like bullying to me, not swinging! Krebsian projections aside, I like this set a lot. It's a fine band playing well, mostly. And it sure does swing!

Hey, it swings good, wouldn't be out of place on a Dobie Gillis episode, this being 15 or so years after the original.

Quaint....as in a lot of things aimed at being "common man" friendly, harps French horns, "The Gentle Art Of Love", Jack The Bear!, many, many tempos that could be danceable, some right on the edge but never going over,"modern" without being consciously "forward", but most importantly, quaint in the sense of this size ensemble getting the blends and balances just right for the room, I would think, all by themselves. Good luck getting any of that, in spirit or in execution, out of a big band today. In this case, I very much like quaint by today's standards. I like hearing bands that don't force it when forcing it is not the object of the game. And I like this kind of jazz to be informed by the dancing impulse, that connection to the physical that happens by instinct, not by design. Foot-tapping music indeed! As for Gryce vs Quill...the alto soloist on the first session (tracks 1-5) don't sound like Gryce to me. Oh yeah, the unannounced guy I think might be Quill is actually announced as Quill later on. Not saying that Gryce doesn't sound good, but there's two distinctly different a lot soloists on this band.

Maybe that's Gene Quill sounding like that?

That time, that place. So there.

And yes that is Milt Jackson, right? Did not know this album, soon to be remedied.

Hopefully it gets to Netflix soon enough!

His maternal great-grandparents, William and Catherine Booth, founded the Salvation Army.... By studying penguins, which are highly sociable, Dr. Sladen said, researchers could also gain insights into human behavior. For example, he learned that male penguins can initiate and consummate sexual intercourse even in the worst weather, including gales of 60 miles per hour. “The sexual impulse must be great,” he wrote, “when these acts are performed under such adverse conditions.”... “Some of my friends have puzzled over my giving up a medical career for studies in conservation and environmental health,” Dr. Sladen wrote in National Geographic in 1975. But he never second-guessed himself. His response, he said, was, “Wouldn’t they perhaps trade whatever they are doing to witness the spectacle of 300,000 Adélie penguins in Antarctica, to round up thousands of pink-footed geese in Iceland, to sit among harems of fur seals on the Pribilof Islands in the Bering Sea, or to take inspiration from the wandering albatross as it soars majestically above the southern oceans?”

Original video no longer available. Boomhauer does not approve.

On a completely unrelated note...who the fuck wrote the intro to this otherwise innocuous opening theme song. That shit is aggressive! They snuck that shit in whenever they could, I guess.

To the extent that this sucks, don't blame the chart! Or the band! Of course, there will always be this, perhaps Frank's Ultimate 1-900 Booty Call Song, but still..

Procrastination pays! Current promotion is free shipping for orders over $50, so I ordered two!

so unless I cancel, I will be getting the Goodman set after all?

Nasal is in the song's DNA.

What I want to know is how the hell Creed Taylor never did a version of it with Astrud Gilberto. That would be The Best Version Of that has yet to happen. Nevertheless, Skeeter, the Country Astrud, at least for this record. Skeeter got a little swing inside that nasal. She ended up married to one of the NRBQ guys, you know. I bet that had its own swing, if you know what I mean. Skeeter!

If this is Scotland, and if cute girls like this just come popping around the corner and start dancing like this, then I will not even resist the impulse of your statement!

Pre-ordered through Amazon on May 9, not yet shipping here, Scotland is better then, yes?
