Ohh, handcuffs!

Possible cause fro any Granz association? Regarding Manor/Regis...weren't some of those bebop 78s part of the Xanadu Bebop Revisited series? Never heard of Hoyt Hughes before this, but...San Antonio!

No family or anything? I know you were pretty exhaustive in that research.

If nothing else, Wynton didn't fall for the overalls.

I mean, I first heard about Lloyd Reese in that Mingus liner essay, and the legend has only grown since. And yet, no pic on the internet? That's all kinds of wrong. Also love that he's giving props to Olly Wilson, Hale Smith, George Walker, Mel Powell...people who know what they're doing in so many ways besides "just" extreme proficiency.

Again: So...find another loophole, maybe? And try to be more tasteful than reality, ok?

Dude, the ways that people do people wrong knows no limits, nor can any greed not be covered up by a good PR on the front and people with limited options on the back. Which has very little, if anything, to do with music. Music is like love, you need it and if you don't watch yourself, you'll put up with any damn thing to get it, both from others and from yourself. Which is why it behooves the individual to always orient towards the elevational, and to spot that okie-doke before it's too late.

Miscellaneous - Non-Political, lest there be any misremembering. I think a Political Cartoon is by definition not Non-Political. And some of these cartoons were, like, really crude. A moderator has made a decision that is entirely within the " letter of the law". The reasoning that an image alone was not a discussion was a creative loophole, but I guess lines were crossed (and oh yeah, another moderator made note last year or earlier that said moderator was aware of what was going on here back when it was all UK/Euro-centric). So...find another loophole, maybe? And try to be more tasteful than reality, ok? I mean, it makes me feel better to take a shit or vomit up a bad oyster, and that bad oyster vomit is not interpretational in any way, but do you want to see a picture of that here? But keep in mind, an unaltered photograph, presented without caption or other comment, is just a pic. Feel free to Post A Pic (and leave it at that). Waiter, a dozen on the half-shell, please!

That's a good principle for any music, imo. See the shit live whenever possible. Records are fun, but... I've known older jazz buffs, cats who were regulars at the clubs in the 50s & 60s, and they're sometimes like, records? what do I need records for? I heard it live? I met and older couple at a recent chamber concert, they were from Germany, in their 70s or 80s even, and they laughed at me (kindly but rightfully) when I referred to Rite Of Spring as "modern"...I guess they were both conservatory students or something, so records, 78s, all that, that was at most an accessory. When they heard music, it was usually live, and there they were that night, still going to hear it live. I'm a sucker for a good record (and many a not so good one), but...shit is just different live. I'll go so far as to say, advisedly, that without a good experience in hearing live performance environment (even a club mix) your perception of recordings is not really complete, at least not as complete as it otherwise would be.

Never run a tab on a gig, that's my philosophy. That's like shopping at the company store. There's a guy here in Dallas, an entry-level Chitlin' Circuit band gig, who holds mandatory all-day rehearsals, and if you get hungry or run out of smokes, his wife will sell you hot dogs and Kools. I don't know if that's heavier or lighter dues than buying your Messengers gig drugs from Art Blakey himself.

In a dictionary sense, yes. In a "poetic" sense, not really. "Decorum" would in this sense be an agreed on beginning/middle/end, and a rift in that would mean hey, not so fast here, let's look at it another way.

Can somebody find an online photo of Lloyd Reese?

Yep.

Hugh Bradner, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and a former Manhattan Project physicist, originated a synthetic rubber version in 1951 as insulation for deep-sea and scuba diving. Bill and Bob Meistrell began making wetsuits in Southern California around 1952, about the same time Mr. O’Neill launched his label. The Meistrells’ company still markets them under the Body Glove brand. But “The Encyclopedia of Surfing” (2005), among other sources, credits Mr. O’Neill as the wetsuit’s commercial pioneer. His technical innovations, marketing acumen and swashbuckling mien transformed his business from a humble store into the international leader in wetsuit sales.

I liked it all, it was all one prolonged dream sequence to me. I never tried to make sense of it out of that sense, so I was never frustrated. I like sleeping, and I really like dreams. Dreams are always the same and never the same, and what they mean, they only mean until the next one. So... Will look for the new shows on Showtime. Gonna jump right in, sleep right down, daddy let my mind roll on.

That evidential enough for me!

Are these new epsiodes of Twin Peaks or vintage reruns? Seems I heard something about new episodes, but that's a coming attraction, correct?

Certainly remembered that, but have never been sure if Hank was fully on the gig or was there as a "placeholder" (strictly a business way, nothing musical) until Wayne was good to go.

Ira Sullivan played on Blakey's bands, trumpet and tenor, during those crazy(ier) days.

No, not sure about that.

You'd need to know both the terms and the duration of the current contract between Mosiac and the shipper to be certain about that. Sounds like Cost Center Bingo to me, in which case it might be as simple as shipping staff gets fewer hours next/month/week/whatever. Or that somebody gets to claim a loss that they don't mind claiming. Or maybe this shipping fulfillment place has other clients that bring in enough more bucks to not make it matter. Actual money and numbers are two things that only sometimes coincide. If we're talking contractors/vendors here and how that money works, geez, the options are infinite. And Mosaic's future life is very likely not.

IIRC, Wayne was Musical Director, talking over Benny Golson's role. Golson, in turn, had been brought in to establish some discipline to the Jazz Messengers brand owing to the fact that prior to that they were a wild bunch whose reliability was suspect (for all the "usual causes". Blakey was no better and even worse than his band in that regard. I recall an article written about him towards the end of his life that said something along the lines of Art Blakey is know as a lot of things, a/b/c/the world's oldest junkie/d/e/etc. And that's after he was a Beloved Institution. By all accounts, he was and remained, as Curtis Fuller said in that documentary, "a rascal"!
