There are substantial differences. However, Bud is one of those players for whom those differences register only as a subjective observation, not really as a mark of "merit" or lack thereof. The guy had one of those minds that was always working, and the process of how he got his body to get the ideas out in some form or fashion, a process that would vary widely and wildly, to be sure, is always a fascinating one, for me anyway.

Yep. Against board policy to openly solicit burns like that. Post edited by moderator to reflect said policy. That said, the music is available in many forms, so good luck on your search.

I think Bud was always "really" Bud, depending on where Bud was at at any given moment... I don't hear "dire" or "chains" here, I just hear Bud when not all the synapses were totally connected, but the ideas were still coming, and he made them go through with what he had. It's nothing like when he was "firing on all cylinders", but there's some harmonic turns in there (in both right and left hands) that he connects so unblinkingly that it makes me smile anyway. Working with less available maybe, but hardly chained. Whatever "space" he was in, he was in it. and this, so right within itself (and again, that left hand, some of those choices...they work, he knows why to play them, because he knows where he's going with them, whatever "issues" there are are not of a lack of ideas or inspiration, and by god, whatever physical/mental connection issues he might have been having, again - he found a way to get it out and make it fit).

Hmmm, I liked that one a lot. But it's been a while. Up front, though, I've heard next to no really dire Bud, except The Return Of Bud Powell. One of those varying mileages things, no doubt.

oh my...RIP...and thanks, more than words can really say.

Excellent player, long and fruitful life, Joe Harris FTW, please.

Dude, it's an Arnette Cobb record called "Funky Butt". How much comment past that you gonna need?

So...me and a bunch of other people have been going years thinking that the SB CT ceremony that we see on TV is strictly ceremonial, that the real coin toss is held beforehand...I thought this was "common knowledge", but today I ran into a group of people who had never heard such a thing before, they thought this was the most insane thing they'd ever heard, citing the few glitches over the years as proof that it was a real time event (never mind that yes, the ceremony itself is a real time event, so there's always room for fuckups), and they show the coin, etc, etc, etc. all of which can be explained, but now I'm wondering, maybe this "common knowledge" that the determinative coin flip occurs "back stage" is just some urban myth? If so, I've been hornswaggled, and so have many others! But I do want to get it right, so, can anybody say with a provable certainty what the deal on this really is?

Looking at the left side of the cover on my phone, magnified and standing about 8 feet away, an image appears to emerge of a young woman with longish hair looking towards the right side of the cover, head tilted slightly back.

Wow, that sucks...my wife takes single packed Life Saver mints that are packed in a very soft cellophane that makes hardly a sound. Of course, she's inclined to only get them out either in very loud portions or between pieces, unless a big ol' HHHHWWWWAAAAACCCCKKKKKKKK is coming on, but her being a lady and all, she takes care of that beforehand, and has proven to be a great inspiration to me in that regard.

Not knowing the personal, personality, or financial factors involved in such a move, would the Dusty Groove people be in a position to buy the inventory and allow the store to keep its name and direction at a new location?

What do y'all use for wrappers?

Joe Chambers? WHOA!

Whoa...

Greatness.

Put it in a major key and it could almost(?) be a Beach Boys song. Otherwise...I'd like to pretend that it's 1970 all over again, but I don't have the car for that. It's a good thing they made this now instead of then, though, because three of a kind was just right.

The only one in there that I'd need to be in on is the Arnette Cobb. I've yet to hear an Arnette Cobb record that I don't need to be in on. Maybe the Don Lamond, depending on players, charts, etc. But Don Lamond carried some forceofnatureness with him too, so...I'm curious.
