Oh well...will not eat out Friday night to compensate...at least I got Prime.

Ok, that's a price at which I will bite. Enough on here that I only have as copies to make it a worthwhile upgrade. Thanks for the heads up!

If he had a book of stock )or other) arrangements, a union card, a working phone #, and at least 3-5 horn players who were free for the gig, yeah. "Orchestra" in this context doesn't mean "big band" or "string section". It just means not a combo, which would mean anything where you could have a "horn section". Or a string section for that matter, 2-3 violinists. If you have a book, you can have an "orchestra". Has anybody had the nerve to call any of these #s to see if they're still active and/or who they belong to today?

Fleeting though they may be, those are probably some of the most "out" notes ever played on any kind of a Glenn Miller gig. It's kind of awesome in a very minuscule universe type way. That "Little Brown Jug" solo is 8 bars of When Worlds Collide.

I think that 10" must have been a "hit", seeing how it's pretty much always been in print in some form or fashion. I bought a used copy a few years ago, and have seen it in the used bins often enough over the years that I think it was a popular item. My HS band director had it, and it was one of his records that he brought to school and left there for us to play before and after school, and he knew we were going to ask waht "that" was, and sure enough, we did. You think of it, what are the odds of a 13 year old kid in Gladewater, Texas hearing Charlie Shavers and Willie Smith before hearing Dizzy & Bird? Never mind Corky Corcoran! Life is strangely random at times...Even now, this is still my favorite Barney Kessell, period, ever. That shit is in there! Also...I love when this one here came out I had a WHAAAAAA?????? kind of a laugh about the cover. I saw what they did there!

Slam Stewart had a lifetime of them...the "Lionel Hampton" Just Jazz concert which produced "The Man I Love" & "Stardust" seem to have remained "famous" over the years, whatever that really means. Barney Kessell on "The Man I Love"...tone to die for, just full of all kinds of DIRT. Hello Oklahoma, hello Charlie Christian under your fingernails.

Dude's playing the Miller gig, stands up for his solos, sneaks in some Gonsalves/Lockjaw harmonies in his 8-12 bars then sits the fuck down and goes back to playing the Miller gig, nobody bats an eye. Who the hell was this guy?

Kindred spirits in separate marketworlds, that's all, really. When it comes to going outside the lines and ultimately bringing the lines along rather than losing them altogether, I think you can trust both equally (and far more than most others). Also, this: Definitely.

Joni Mitchell.

I was thinking of "Four", which has an equally expansive expounding philosophically based lyric, not on the head, but on the solos. http://www.harmonyware.com/JonHendricks/wwwboard/messages/47.html (HEAD) Of the wonderful things that you get out of life there are four, Baby, and there may not be many but nobody needs any more, Of the many facts makin’ the list of life, truth takes the lead And to relax, knowin’ the gist of life, it’s truth you need. And the second is honor and happiness makes number three, If you put them together you’ll know what the last one must be, Baby so to truth, honor and happiness add one thing more, Meaning only wonderful, wonderful love that’ll make it four... (Miles' Solo) Don’t you know the score, well, people when they’re younger Never realize the pleasure treasure life’s got, But as they grow older realize a lot, They’ve got their mind on all the wrongest scenes, And things that cost a lot of money but it’s really very funny, They fade away and don’t amount to a hill of beans... Funny how the things in life we really should adore, We forget, or ignore, end up poor, makin’ money Till we’re nigh on to madness and end up in sadness, Youth is the time when we should see the light, ‘Cause when we’re old and wasted, the dues for what we’ve tasted Run so high that we pay till we die, then, We know that youth that made us strong is wasted on the young, So, enjoy it daily, love life and live it gaily, You’ll find a lot of things to bring you joy and give peace of mind, Get it while the gettin’s good, ‘cause everybody if they only could... Life would be a set, life would be a groovy set, groovy as a movie... Wail, wail, let your voice be heard, spread the word, Everybody here’s got ears, only gotta teach ‘em how to use ‘em Not abuse ‘em, so take a tip from me, The world’s everything it oughta be if you can only be sure There is no more to life than the same old four... (Trane's Solo) Hard to believe I know but time will show that even though you think it’s boresome Two and two together constitute a foursome, That’s all, four is a figure, that’s all, Ain’t gonna be gettin’ any bigger, doesn’t matter how you slice it up, You’ll never change it... You count everything that fate throws into life’s pot, Still, really four is all you got. Haven’t I told you about the little treasures that are part of all the rest? You love a little and live a little and take a little and give a lot, Still the total is happiness... But that’s only one, you’ve just begun, There’s gonna be more, after this it’s truth and honor shinin’ And love combinin’ to make it four! (No more!!) (HEAD) Of the wonderful things that you get out of life there are four, Baby, and there may not be many but nobody needs any more, Of the many facts makin’ the list of life, truth takes the lead And to relax, knowin’ the gist of life, it’s truth you need. And the second is honor and happiness makes number three, If you put them together you’ll know what the last one must be, Baby so to truth, honor and happiness add one thing more, Meaning only wonderful, wonderful love that’ll make it four... There's a Youtube video of them doing this live, and to see somebody singing words like this...you realize how boxed in that the conventional songworld is. Don't mean that there's not marvelous things there or that it's not an art, just that...it's not set up to accommodate everything that somebody might want to say in the way they might want to say it. Nor is vocalese a bottomless pit of substance...hardly. But when something like this exists...yeah, this set the bar. Next step - improvising both melody and lyrics/poetry over original changes/grooves...freestyle meets jazz. Gonna happen. GOT to happen.

And the other half is being able to come back.

This sounds just plain silly to me...like if you get a hipster who comes to you full of jazz dis and they pull this out for that special dry hipstermockery, you just gotta say, yeah, I gotta give you that one. Here's the lyrics, roughly: http://www.thelyricarchive.com/song/788954-106740/On-the-Red-Clay I mean, yeah, they are words, but...

What's the buzz about the Rules Committee this year?

Travis Degrout Melinda Kay Bondo Sally Kohn

Magnificent. Simply magnificent.

Headquarters...DAMN! This might have been the most "true believers" band Ellis ever had...I swear to god, these people got it, and Ellis, bless his soul, got them and let them run with it.I think they must have all been crazy, in the best way, and, especially, in the same way.

Matching shirts!

Much love for a legacy totally devoid of waste, abuse, or fraud. RIP, and I hope to evolve to such a level somewhere along the way.
