Don't recall ever seeing that BFT before, sweet. Thanks!

Absolutely. I just meant that with any historical music/people, especially of this type/time, there is no certainty of anything because A} not everybody got recorded and B) even if they did, people can love you live and not care shit about your records, or even know you got records to hear. So, all this Robert Johnson was God and/or all this Robert Johnson = Highly Overinflated.White Projection..I don't know, man, I just don't know. I've played in a few roadhouses where nobody knows about unless they're supposed to know about them with an occasional itinerant bluesmen who nobody's EVER heard of except those who put them up while they're in town and those who are left being owed something once they leave (often the same person), and this was long in the second half of the 20th century, when the trend towards EVERYBODY making SOME kind of record or at least demo tape was well past the point of no return, so that shit was STILL going on within the last 25-30 years, and might well still be, although if it is, good god...I don't doubt but that it is..there's still unvisible land for people to get into and people wanting to be unvisible, right? Point just being that Robert Johnson Record Star Legend Icon & Robert Johnson real person, real life, real music...you gotta have imagination either way, know what I'm saying? You know that scene in Honkytonk Man where Clint just shows up, plays for a shack full of a couple of dancers all by himself, gets some tips and then books? That struck be as being more real than people might think, not about Clint Eastwood of course, but just about the way a lot of people we still don't know about today got to the point to where we still don't know about them today. That scene actually moved me to tears, because, hey, roadhouses that do not have roads leading to them, ok? Real shit. So, I'm like, yeah, records, can't live without them, but nevertheless, shit happens anyway, just keep that part of the perspective in place and mysteries become less mysterious, because you'll never know everything you want to know, never mind everything you need to know, just ain't gonna happen, not here it ain't. That and that what "happened" depends on a lot of things, not the least of which is what is meant by "happened", and anybody who don't get that, leave them blues alone, I'm telling you, because you will be tricked out of your sanity before you know it and then be considered the sanest man or woman alive, that's what them blues will do to you. If them blues don't create a certain discomfortable comfort of distance on and for your behalf, something ain't right.

Or you can drink it straight, on Alamac. http://i.ebayimg.com/t/CHARLIE-PARKER-At-Carnegie-Hall-1949-LP-5-Track-US-Alamac-/00/s/NTAwWDUwMA==/z/mZYAAOSweW5VWyWE/$_35.JPG http://www.discogs.com/Charlie-Parker-1949-Concert/release/2398926

All this opinion is based on records and stories about live gigs that none of us were at. Sure, that's all we have, but also, that's all we have.

The story of the Bonilla contract. http://www.celebritynetworth.com/articles/entertainment-articles/bobby-bonilla-baseball-contract/ Amazing.

Whole-body swing. You can sense it on the records, but actually seeing it...damn. Social Call. most beautiful song title ever? Horn players don't phrase it this well, how can they, they don't have syllables, vowels, consonants? The ones who figure it out, those are the players.

Pandora is its own kind of entertainment. The other night, it went from Frank Wright ESP to Trane Meditations to Sonny Clark Cool Struttin'. BAM. So I said, hell, I can do this myself, so went to my Paul Desmond station, where they gave me a really florescent gelatinous A&M cut followed by a Ben Webster Verve ballad and yeah, taht made a lot of sense, really, but I don't think that's what they had in mind.

I picked up Folk Jazz after hearing it on my Frank Wright (sic) Pandora station (Pandora just thorws shit at you for crazy noreasons, it seems), and liked it well enough to have left it in the player for a day. Monty Budwig, kind of a weaker link for me, but otherwise, those players came to play, and they did. The way Shelley Manne tuned his kit is always an ear-catcher for me, especially when he veers away from a "novelty" delivery (don't know if that's the right word, but...). And Jim Hall, jeesus, I am developing a re-appreciation of Jim Hall, all over again. Those chords, those accompaniments, those ears. Reunion, I tried, should probably try again, but it seemed a little too dry for me. Potential unfulfilled. But a second go-round is no doubt in order at some point.

That's is what makes this film so compelling, that's where the focus is, the idea as it played out in the person, and, incidentally, through the music. Although, the few performance clips are top-shelf, each in their own way. The visual component is not to be underestimated.

Ok, I've tried to write this one off as just being too lazy to put something else in the player, but after three days...no, it's got something different. for starters, the presence of Bill Smith's compositions and playing. Everything else goes from there, it seems. By the time it's over, if you want to play the "it's like..." game, it's like, maybe Tony Scott playing an album of new Ellington/Mingus collaborations, with Duke and Mal Waldron taking turns at the piano bench, and oh by the way, Gil Melle was there in an uncredited capacity. Is that close? Hell if I know, but let's start there and see where it leads. Just a fresh, fresh album of music, expectations neither met nor exceeded, expectations DEFIED! When Perry Robinson showed up in Brubeck's band in the early-ish 70s, I wasn't sure where that came from. Well, DUH.

They need to be told!

This: is not this:

Dig the mike/hand transfer at the end of "The Good Life", at 4:30. Pure zone.

Yeah, I know some people aren't that into Be3tty Carter, but holy shit, jesus, really? People will say she's not paying attention to the melody or that she's not paying attention to the lyrics, but uh-uh, if she was not paying the deepest of attentions to those things, she'd not land right and time/space would be worse than broken, it would be irreparably sprained, like, never walk right again groin sprain, y'all not hear me and/or think I'm kidding, but hell no, noooo...this is some serious timing, and check out the dancing and all that, if it's scary, well, it should be scary. It is scary. But so what? You'll live, and if not, oh well, guess you shoulda thought about that before now, right? Jo Stafford Yin/Betty Carter Yang, All The Squares Go Home (per Cynthia & Jerry).

I dug Dynasty well enough, bot it was this one that pushed my Holy Shit!!! button.

The modes of the major scale, with the associated Roman Numeral functionary designations = (all examples use the C major scale). Ionian (I) - starts on first degree: C-D-E-F-G-A-B-CDorain (ii) - starts on second degree: D-E-F-G-A-B-C-DPhrygian (iii) - starts on third degree: E-F-G-A-B-C-D-ELydian (IV) - starts on fourth degree: F-G-A-B-C-D-E-FMixoylydian (V) - starts on fifth degree: G-A-B-C-D-E-F-GAeolian (vi) - starts on sixth degree: A-B-C-D-E-F-G-ALochrian (viiø7)- starts on seventh degree: B-C-D-E-F-G-AThat's just for traditional major scales, mind you.

That cabinet looks really well-kept!

Nothing to apologize for, Page. Kind of a vague premise in the first place.
