  1. Whose estate is it that doesn't care, Patton's or Green's?
  2. I don't understand how "groove oriented" and "sophisticated" are an either/or proposition ....

  4. Tiant should have been in a long time ago imo.
  5. Have you ever been barefoot in the mud? It's glorious!
  6. What is ok is Dick Allen & Dave Parker. Allen...people forget (or just don't know) how "controversial" a personality he was. "Outspoken" it was called then...
  7. Soto, damn that's a crazy deal. If you land the fish but never get to eat it, is that ok?

  9. Proof that if there is a heaven, it will have an organ group. If you get there and there's not one, demand a recount. And don't let them try and con you.

  11. It's interesting to me, sometimes the results, always the process. How he gets to his zone is nobody's business but his own, and if he's willing to own it, no matter if it soars or if it plops (and hasn't it always been so?) then I find that a lot more interesting than most players in general who create some security blanket baseline that allows them to "sound good" no matter what. In that way, he seems like, of all people, Lee Konitz! Rhythm sections...they have one job - stay the fuck out of his way. If he gets there, stay the fuck out of the way. If he doesn't get there, stay the fuck out of the way until/if he does. Highest highs, lowest lows, and no apologies. Far more interesting to me than many, many other people. Of course, you have no obligation to share my interest. But work on your tone, as I do one mine. We can but dream!

  15. I see no problem. Or hear one. Then again I'm not looking for one. I'm just watching an old guy play tenor and going wherever the momen takes him. Or doesn't. It's what he wanted to do. More power to him for navigating the business to be able to do that and have a good life by so doing. That's an art in and of itself.
  16. I don't know if he was great all of his career, he certainly made a lot of non-great records (in all years!). But he certainly had moments of greatness up until the end that were unlike anything that anybody else could have done. Me, I'm a sound-first guy, and that guy's sound was a life unto itself, right up to the end. Old, craggy, rambling at times, but good luck finding anybody else who plays the instrument like that. When it's gone, it's gone, period. You don't need my permission to tell anybody that I feel that way.
