Oh, and a tip for all the people who get to know your records personally - my copy is mono, and as was the custom in those days the front slick was printed for both mono and stereo, its vertical placement determining what was shown. On the mono version, the slick was placed higher up, so at the bottom of the back jacket, you can see the model's legs go further up and there's just a little fringe of a plaid skirt or something. You can sorta see it here on the CBS version, which I'm thinking had a slightly different vertical framing than did the US Columbia. In fact, certain that it does, because on the back TOP of the US cover, I can see the Stereo doodad that would have been upper left on the front. One more memory about this record - I recall strongly LOL'ing in the library when first reading the DB review, a few years after looking further into Brubeck and not really feeling too much hotjazzlove for most of it then, it opened with something like "The pedant of the piano meets the poet of the pop song", I mean, pretty much, right? But I'm also thinking the reviewer gave it 4 or more stars too, Like I said, better than many might expect.

Japan, for sure. Don't know about anywhere else. My copy is a dimestore coutout LP from 1972 or so, came with the plastic perforated open inner sleeve. It's mostly a "Brubeck trio with Desmond solos" album, maybe that's why it's not more high profile. But I'm telling you, it's a cut above, afaic. And it's here: and if you drive an old car, here: Found this too:

Probably a dumb question, definitely an ignorant one, but there's no chance that the item offered by Amazon Germany is going to be released with German liner notes, correct? Or any other packaging difference? That price difference is pretty significant. Since I already have the music, my interest here is doing the right thing and getting a legit version of that material, and/but also at the best price available in the legit marketplace.

That is correct. You can also file the tines if you want to get into at that level, A kalimba is more like a Rhodes than you might think!

Yeah, it's from Anything Goes. That's a good record.and a Sexy Album Cover.

Is this going to turn into a thread about the thread?

Revisiting some Teenage Favorites and came to this one...his soloing here gets more intriguing the closer/longer you listen, both the harmonic decoys and the rhythmic deconstructions spin out with a deep logic instead of spiraling out of some wildly exuberant sillygaggin, but geeeeeeeeeeeezus, listen to the comp behind Desmond, so much space, and movement only when meaningful - and listen to Desmond return the favor justifying all that space that Brubeck leaves, they both pivot off of each other in a really deep, soulful way, if we can equate "soulful" with "deeply and nakedly intimate", and I do. Not everybody looks the same naked, but everybody is naked, definitely. Where/when/etc. but "if" is not a consideration. Intimacy is probably best left to choice, but naked is a fact of life. That first turnaround, the way Brubeck dekes it and then lands on the second 8,whoa...and the way they land on the 5th bar of the bridge..that's just right in all kinds of ways. I've always wondered if Brubeck was expecting a second Desmond chorus and didn't gett one, or if he was jsut taking his time coming back in. Either way, he's had that left hand ahnd thing going almost since the beginning and just lets it keep going. Beautiful if a cover, beautiful if a plan. And a very special hello to Gene Wright (you think it's easy to land right (no pun intended), with the way Brubeck is playing here, no, not easy) & Joe Morello for not getting in the way, which a completely different, deeper, more serious level of engagement than is staying out of the way. Hello gentlemen, hello! I'm really funny with Brubeck/Desmond 4tets, it either pulls me all the way in or shrinks into yada-yada zone, all or nothing. I'm supposed to believe that it's all the same really, but, sorry, if it all was like this, I would so want to have all the records, and I so do not, and believe me, that has not been a casual or unconsidered decision. But this...DAMN.

Tell you what, dude - I'll let you monitor what the Euro/Englo members post that they apparently think the moderators are oblivious to. Otherwise, welcome back, stay healthy.

Outrage over murder is political? Concern over mental health is political? Awareness of racial problems is political? Violence, insanity, racism, these are all things that are political in the solving (or "solving", not in the acknowledging. The only thing so far even remotely political here is gun laws, and nobody's really debating or discussing that past the point of crazy people being armed is probably not a good idea, and would anybody care to claim otherwise? Fully noted, though, that that's a good place to draw a line as far as that subject goes.

Aw man... RIP and thanks for all of that.

No man, not even, and sorry if it came off like that. I'm just tired of all the simplistic, segmented, tunnel-visioned "analyses" that I hear saturating any time something like this happens, Every asshole with an opinion mounts the media outlet of their choice (said with full self-awareness here, btw) and projects their personal "cause" onto it, like this is the ONE BIG THING that WE NEED TO ADDRESS, and I call bullshit on all of that, because like it or not, guns DON'T kill people, people kill people, if people ARE mentally ill, what is making them that way and how do we stop it, and since we DO have a race issue that has pretty much fucked up EVERYBODY concerned, what's been driving the resistance to that getting fixed, and it all, all of it, eventually comes back to self, the collective will never be fixed until the selves within are fixed. Goat-herding the collectives into same thought won't get it, hell, that's how we are now, "us" vs them", in damn near everything. For instance, look at how "race" and "culture" have somehow been allowed to become sorta mooshygooshy the same "thing", and beyond that, how "culture" and "tradition" have gotten squashed even more together, like if you like to wear gimme hats because they're kinda fun sometimes, that then becomes your expression of "tradition" of your "culture" because that's a "White thing", that's what "we" do because - critical thoughtprocessing pivot - THAT'S HOW "WE" ARE. And really - not really. Maybe, but that's the easy way out and give the other person less need/motivation to find out more. Which goes back to my theory about some intangible planetary population line having been crossed. People are in each others way more now than ever, and the rush to internalization through digital isolationisms and virtual "societies" only highlight that more. Change the gimme hat to a baller's cap or straw hat or a hijab or captain's yacht cap or whatever...it's lazy thinking which leads to lazy people doing lazyshit, and whoever it was who talked about how trivial the action of murder is had it right, not in terms of victims, but in terms of perpetrator - is that REALLY the best you could come up with as a human being? You're a sorry piece of used fuckup if so. simply put - people are the same as they've always been - creatures of extraordinarily complex capacities yet prone to the basest, most reflexive actions. Easily manipulated to predictable common outcomes with what should be shockingly little effort. I love everybody. But I like just a very, very small number of them.

No, it can't, but it's waaaaaaay too easy to think that it's any kind of root cause rather than an obvious symptom. We don't have a race issue, we have a gun issue. We don't have a race problem, we have a mental health problem. We don't have a mental health problem we have a race problem. We don't have a gun problem, we have a race problem. On and on it goes Twitter is all lit up with celebrity sorrow and celebrity follower's sorrow. It's all so fucking cheap, cheap shallow emo feel-badding, Sad people everywhere, like WHERE CAN WE STOP THIS INSANITY? Sad people looking for blame so they can get over it and go back to being happy people. Fuck that. The triteness of it all is sickening. People haven't lost their minds, people have surrendered them, sometimes willingly, sometimes not. But consider this - "Racism Is A Disease" needs to e taken as more than a t-shirt slogan, because any time you go to mass projecting rather than perceiving and processing, you've already jumped the line in terms of logic, and when does unchecked illogicality ever NOT devolve into some kind of insanity? And yeah, I'm talking to you gangbangers, and I'm talking to you ignuntass rednecks, and yeah, I'm talking to you big-city provincials, and yeah, I'm talking to you xenophobes and misanthropes and sexual predators and just ALL you sick fucks who look for the quick convenient truths collected and served all at once rather than the simple logical ones discovered step by step and case by case. I'll go so far as to say that "murder" is in fact quite logical as a means of self-preservation. What need to be examined and dissected is all the ways that "self-preservation" has warped from a matter of being an immediate urgency to this weird extrapolated "cultural" thing to where simply knowing of this "other" sends you to THAT gear, hey, we got more people, all kinds of people, having "others" in their mind right now than is healthy for anybody but "the devil", so sure, let's regulate them guns for loonies, but let's not kid ourselves while so doing. People done got collective stupidcrazysickscared, period. My pet theory is that we have passed the planet's built-in capacity for a sustainable healthy and sane population, but that's just a pet theory, and I stay at home a lot.

And back to the Alabama church bombing.

I would suggest no music at all, lest we delude ourselves into finding some "comfort" in any of this. No, there is no comfort in this, anywhere, at any level. Leave the music off and scream. Scream until it feels like it's going to kill you, and then scream some more, because goddamit, it is going to kill you. It's going to kill us all.

A really hyper-critical listening will reveal the bassist to be just a teence of a weak link, but if you're gonna listen that critically to that much heat, it should probably be because it's your record in some form or fashion. Otherwise, it wasn't until i got out of East Texas and lat-nite jazz radio that I leaned that not everybody played "Blue Bossa" like Joe did on that album. Talk about a cold water alarm clock...

A finger-less horse? Did you just say a finger-less horse? WTF?!?!?!?!?!?? LMFAO at "a finger-less horse"! That's some funny shit! :g

A wink's as good as a ring!

A bunch of JH's Milestones are excellent. My favorite from that era is Canyon Lady. To that end, if the Milestone box is still available cheaply, that's money (less) money well-spent.

Leader dates, correct? Over time, Our Thing has become my "out front" favorite. Those players, those tunes...staying/growing power, just keeps getting better and deeper over the years. Otherwise, Inner Urge & In'N'Out, no order. Find good prices and get both. Won't do without either Page One or Mode For Joe either, but gun to head, might have some room for negotiation. Speaking of moods, I'm in one to go ahead and suggest Joe Henderson In Japan on Milestone. Frisky!

Apparently so, at either 7:30 or 8, take your pick: http://www.kevinmcnerney.com/jazzcamp.html http://rudreshm.com/events

Sooooo....what is this, then?

You should make your own cornbread, you really should. But for those times when that's not gonna happen, this is the one acceptable substitute, in Denton, gotten to by one of the non-college exits off 35, and juuuuussssstt on "the right side of the tracks" quite literally. The tracks that the trains use for Morrison's shipments are THE tracks in Denton.
