  1. But it is every bit as real. Never mind The Jungle Band, that was The Survival Band.
  2. She was(?) a good singer, a reasonably good pianist, but the main thing I find attractive about her is her punchiness. The woman kicks, hard, in that kind of "local" way the way it was when local was cool because every town had one or two. And Don Cinderella (Joe's brother?) is just pumping on the bass. Kicking and pumping, hey, baby, they're playing our song, right? Rob & Laura would go see Jackie & Roy with the gang, but when they wanted to party solo, get high, hit a club and sit in the back where they could do the things you can do in a club when you sit in the back, and then go home and screw, it'd be Jacy Parker they'd go hear, just them, just that. And you know that happened more than once. If this makes any sense, it's a record that deserves to become obscure in America only after it becomes available in America. But hell, I'd buy it and feel good not just about buying it, but about listening to it more than once or twice. There's a bongo player who i would find obtrusive if I thought about it, but that's the beauty of free will - fuck that bongo player, just because he's there don't mean I have to hear him. Everything else is in there. Put another way - her groove is such that she sounds like she was feeling Horace Silver's left hand. That's where her pocket was.
  3. There are already eight versions of a brand new release?
  4. It's been here for at least a week, I need to get to it, no doubts here about its worthiness. But who is the guy who subbed for Pepper on opening night? Can't say that I've seen/heard the name before.
  5. Found it sealed in a mom-and-pop back in the late 1970s. It became an immediate favorite and has remained one. But i first hear "Bula" on that Great PAris Concert thing, and that was a lot more "visceral". However, the charms of "Silk Lace"...I've been casually married to that one in a Miles/Al Green "if..." type of way from the first time I heard it. Let's not sleep on Afro-Eurasian Eclipse...exactly who is enjoying the shadow of whoooom?
  6. Forgot about the Strata date, but that compilation album is completely new to me. Anybody heard it? plenty of interesting people there.
  7. Verve says 50, 60, what's the difference.
  8. Truthfully, jazz is what got me into jazz. For that matter, music is what got me into music, and is what keeps getting me into it. Records, tapes, radios, TVs, backgrounds, foregrounds, live, recorded, real, imagined, past, present, predicted, whatever.. I'll take it (music) any way/all the ways I can get it. Spindles and RCA 45 adapters, and the holes they go into, do have a definite sexual pimacy though, as does a needle extracting & transmitting vibrations from the depths of a valley. Analog = Kirk, Digital = Picard, hey, it's all good, but do you really want to see Picard without eventually putting Worf in the mix somewhere? That's where I draw my line, no Worf, something's missing. Klingons, once enemies, now allies. Digital, yes, but analog/"analog" in the chain somewhere does not hurt. Records? They are indeed the Enterprise, but how many Enterprises have their been? Down with the ship, up with people.
  9. "crack up" = to genuinely go out of mental balance. No stories. Those records speak for themselves far better than I can.

  13. To expand on the JT obit just a little, he was on both Cox BN LPs, not just the one. RIP.

  15. If the OP is perhaps wanting something more "traditional" by Hill, I unhesitatingly recommend Shades on Soul Note. Clifford Jordan, Rufus Reid, & Ben Riley, just a splendid offering in every regard, with the caveat that it might be hard to find these days. Also, Spiral, his "comeback" album on Arista/Freedom is a blast. Lee Konitz (on soprano, alto and tenor no less) & Robin Kenyatta on the same record! Not at the same time, but that was probably well enough left alone.
  16. Taking notes about other versions, thanks, but the group sound of the Concord Quartet is something I'd like to get into on my own time, not though Pandora's algorithms. They always make me look to see who it is that's playing "like that". Sometimes I look to see who's the composer, and sometimes I don't look at all. But with these things, it's always looking to see who the players are.
  17. Don't tell me that Regina King doesn't need to play Abbey Lincoln ASAP. Nora Durst, please move to Plano. And there is not a real Jarden, Texas - but there is a real Jardin, Texas: https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/hnj04

  21. Pick three: kinda creepy, really.
  22. Japan got this one, we should too. It's a good record. http://www.allmusic.com/album/spotlight-on-jacy-parker-mw0000856399
  23. Josh Hamilton is out hurt, so it must be time to start playing ball!

  25. Oh, we are so not going to see any kind of comprehensive look at the entire Verve catalog, not at 50, not at 60, not at 75, not at 100, never.
