I dug the King Fleming, actually. the extreme upper notes were executed very well, I thought, a really nice articulation/attack. It's easy to just "tinkle" up there. This guy was speaking.

Allen usually gives good prices, so consider buying multiple copies to give as gifts. Seriously. It's that good a record, and not everybody knows about Percy France - yet many would appreciate finding out about him.

Ha, sweet, Gentle Jug vol. 3 just went into my car this AM and will be there until further notice.

Was it Eric Leeds who played on "The Glamorous Life"? The 45 didn't give you the whole deal, you had to go to the LP or the 12" single to hear that. But coming as it did about the same time as Oliver Lake's Jump Up records, there was a phantom "hope in the air" that that type of "funky out" alto playing was coming into the mainstream pretty quickly. Which of course, it didn't, but the hope was fun while it lasted. It's wasn't, like HARD out, but it was definitely not what producers were putting on records to ensure airplay, if you know what I mean. ooops...that was not Eric Leeds, but Larry Williams. Still, Eric Leeds brought some edge from outside the traditional smoothycreamybluesbite boundaries, as did so many things that Prince let into his output. RIP Prince, still. Also, really, REALLY like the blend of the band on the Niehaus cut, not just the tones, but the phrasing. In dat pocket do deep you can call it lint.

Wow, Eric Leeds, who knew...not me, obviouly.... And shit, I have that Leon Parker record,loved it to death back when it was new, so sparse, so effective. I played the sshot out of it and then, uh, didn't. And apparently forgot all about it. That sucks. But whatever happened to Leon Parker?

I've ordered a DVD documentary about her and will dig into records pending how the results of that work for me. But jeez, that's definitely some deep confidence on display.

This thread likes to take a single post and double it, what's up with that?

It's beginning to look a lot like everywhere you go.

Hate to say this, but I thought he was already dead...

whoa... whoa...

Careful now...

Yeah, I don't know that the full enormity of his catalog justifies all of itself, but that's the way it happened, and there's enough there to perk up the ears, so....say la vee, as the phoenteticists write it.

How's the weather down there?

Dude, stop tasing my blindfold!

Individually, yeah, sure. But collectively it kind of wears me down over time. Then again, I've not had a real interest in movies for about a decade or so now, precisely for that reason, same stories getting retold with only the "type" as the variable, and although the types of "type" are expanding, I don't know that the depth/accuracy of their portrays are following suit. The Ever-Expanding Shrinking Same. So I am a bit of a whiner in that regard, and definitely an outlier as far as consensual opinion. But as far as Vivian Leigh...I was born in 1955, in the American South and the Scarlet O'Hara "type" was already becoming something of a joke. None but the most clueless actually aspired to that type of thing. So, really, no love lost here between me and neither the whole Drawly Plantation Drama Queen "type" nor the "real thing" (aspirational or otherwise), none at all. My mom, born and raised in Louisiana and oil-patch Texas loathed all of that stuff, yet I never could get her to define what "well I swan" really meant (and she'd get irked as hell when I pushed her on it). Halfway between swear and swoon was my guess, but I felt what she meant, even though I did not rationally understand what she meant. So, yeah, "accents" per se don't really turn me on. But people, any people, who speak with their entire being, naturally and unprogrammed by anything other than environment and intent, that is music, quite literally, to my ears. And lord knows you can find that, still.

Vivien Leigh...the only Southern women I've known who talked like that were...the type of woman that she played, and stereotypes to the contrary, there are more who are not like that than those who are, especially as time goes by. Thankfully... And even there, a true "Southern Belle" will have a lot, and I mean a LOT, of nuance in her speech. "Accent" alone is not sufficient. It's even beyond speech, eyes, nostrils, face, body language...this is probably true for all people, but you get actors trying to play a "type" and so often they sorta go LCD on you. That's just not good enough.

Not as ridiculous now as it once was, but the same issue occurs with American Southern accents (yes, plural). A lot of people don't have as good an ear for detail as they apparently think they do!

Is there anybody here who can run a query on how many record Brookmeyer and Terry were on together?
