That is Bob Crewe. Probably around the time of "California Nights", which he produced.

Sorry, i just made that up for the purposes of the analogy as i hurried through it. I love mustard too! Thanks for the clarification. I like the twangy bread, but only when it's intentional.

1986...22 years too late to be, like, atomic or anything. Dammit. Still - right idea, if not necessarily right motivation.

dammit!

Clash Of The Titans (teen girl vs boy div.) I dunno, Lou, I don't think you're getting away with this one...

You know what would be a true When Worlds Collide 60s Pop Moment? An unchaperoned date between the personalities of Leslie Gore's hits & Lou Christie's hits. No way does anybody get home from that one untouched in some form or fashion.

Is that the Five Spot? Figuring it was Monk's band? Wow, yeah, nice band indeed!

You Don't Owe Me! I suppose we should be more respectful of Ms. Gore...didn't her kid brother invent the internet, or something like that? And in all seriousness, I was never, and never really became, a "fan". That hair and those pearls just...out of sync for where my head was at girlwise, in those days. But - when she got past that look, she got a lot cuter in my eyes, and what I really came to dig about here was the strength that she projected, she was no shrinking violet, when she cried, she CRIED, when she taunted, she TAUNTED, and when she told you do recognize, hey, you BETTER recognize. Tough chick, really, iron fist/velvet glove(s), that type of thing (and dig the way she handled Sullivan, no fawning, NO fawning, kinda like, "later, creep", pretty damn impressive, I think). When I was 8-9, that kind of thing was not yet factoring into my consciousness, but the older I got, hey, you learn about that stuff. She was one of the original New School Girls. I'm surprised nobody has blamed her for Quincy Jones yet. But they worked well together, at least in the 60s...70s, maybe not as well. Depends on how I'm feeling, some days are better than others. Let it be noted, though, that Herbie Hancock is on that record, so if you're a true HH completist, you gotta have it! And also let it be noted that those 60s records of theirs had every bit as kicking an underpinning as they did punchyass overdubbed vocals. They worked well together. Like I said, a "fan" I am not, not particularly, but an Appreciator, yes, definitely am that. And that Batman shit, CLASSIC.

Gonna be a mess when all that stuff melts...

You are the Jackie McLean of jazzbooks!

Is it now ok to follow up on SGIM's funeral joke by adding that It's Judea's Turn To Cry?

"Saving All My Love For You" is a good tune to play on, nice singable melody, familiar changes that get laid out in a somewhat unpredictable manner, and a great bridge. Some people think of it as "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" Pt. 2, but not really, starts out like that but goes its own way soon enough. I've played it a gazillion times, but almost always on pop/R&B gigs. Guess it's not hip enough for jazz. Then again, sometimes it's more hip to be unhip.

Indeed!

Serious question - Can that really happen, that bread tastes like mustard because of the yeast? Don't get me wrong, I love mustard (all kinds), just want to know what to look out to avoid eating some funkyass bread.

Not wrecked by Wrecking Crew, so yes, HAD to have had SOMETHING. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7LdgPKO1AY Sure wonder what Lulu would have sounded like with that band, though, but that didn't happen, so. Old school revue chops, you got 10-15 minutes, come out there hard, hit it hard, give'em a show in that little bit of time, then BOOM, onward. Ride the wave. Can people still do that type of thing?

Yeah, I thought the Lark thing would appeal to you, Bev. Don't know how much FWSO recorded her stuff, but they had several commissions premiered in performance (this from a buddy of mine who's assistant principle bassist with them, but whom I have known for years now only as a jazz player. again, willful ignorance on my part, bad decision). Really don't know how much the FSO records anything, really, suppose I should find out.

I've seen that LP a couple of times - seems to be fairly coveted by the DJ set. When O-Board Shawn (the All-Time A-1 World Champeen Jerome Richardson Fan, for sure!) lived here (in the DFW area, not in front of my computer in my house), he hipped to this side. It is indeed a solid stone gas, and came up as one of those mystery-pressed New Copy vinyls at DG a while back. I can only second what implicit implications to carpe diem this bad boy that are in the air at this moment.

How many of y'all are there? This is the only CD I've got. Everything else has been on podcasts and streaming things. But it - the CD - has held up under a week's worth of close listening, and that's about as long a sustained play as I give anything these days.
