  1. Drowning my sorrow in Wesson Oil. RIP.
  2. 2-3 Days worth of collection disorganization is always useful to have on had as a hedge against rearranging furniture.

  4. Leroy Williams is a gas on this album. I really appreciate how all the Elmo tunes are played "just right". He was a "bebop composer" imo, which means that he used the language of bebop as a conscious compositional tool. These tunes are excellent vehicles for improvisation, but they are never just "blowing tunes". They are specific statements, they create their own specific places. My favorite thing about the record is the time. Not just tempo, but the time within the tempo. It's there, in that zone where beats occupy the space instead of merely defining it for linear measurement. This time is bigger than that. To that end, in particular, Junior Cook.
  5. Sunflower is a great record, period. One of the very best realizations of the full potential of the CTI concept, one of the best records of its time, some of Bags' best playing. Any time that that record does not stand the test of is a time in which I would prefer to not be.
  6. good to hear that...it arrived today. And yes to the snagged swank.
  7. Yeah, Cedar's Columbia sides were ok, the first more than the second.

  9. There are no bad Milt Jackson records, correct?
  10. certainly not easy music or an easy opinion about it.

  13. Tavis regularly has musicians of interest on his show. Worth checking your local listings, as they used to say.
  14. Janet Planet World B. Free Globey
  15. You're vouching for this one, right?
  16. https://books.google.com/books?id=-DWxyYapaBwC&pg=PR9&lpg=PR9&dq=arnold+covey+goodman&source=bl&ots=hkdr0okQLV&sig=MK0K8laKcuSKpk7z2xh7V--3Gtc&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwilqZrgkb_QAhUM_4MKHRNpBt0Q6AEIITAB#v=onepage&q=arnold%20covey%20goodman&f=false The picture is absent, but seems to be the one in the OP, and Covey is here named as the guy.
  17. Yeah, that's from the recording session that Goodman privately arranged, Prez & Christian together. Not released until one of these Jerry Valburn things in the 70s.
  18. Freddie Green in the second.

  20. If I was to make an easy answer, it would be that Harold Ashby took over Jimmy Hamilton's tenor role, and nobody took over Hamilton's clarinet role, although Norris Turney added a flute voice. But Duke...when you start thinking strictly in terms of "instrumentation", that's already drifting over into Missing The Whole Point Land, I think. Sound uber alles in Ellingtonworld, the more I hear it, the more I hear that....voices, colors, not "instruments"..in that regard, I think "we" might have already praised Duke in excess of our still-evolving understanding of him. that stuff keeps revealing and deepening as time goes by, the less of it there is in the "real world", the even more distinctive and unique it becomes, and as conventional perceptions become irrelevant, new findings come out....you (ok, "you") can listen to this stuff forever (ok, "forever" and keep hearing new angles, perceptions, colors, interior, exterior, micro, macro, the world of Duke Ellington, indeed.
