Wentworth - LTB is semi-binging, I'm wandering in and out. Hard to get out once in, though.

Isn't Plano where the guy who inspired Willies' Pretty Paper from Plano? Apparently not... http://stillisstillmoving.com/willienelson/willie-nelsons-song-pretty-paper-the-rest-of-the-story/

Adventures In Time comes pretty damn close, actually!

It's also pretty good, maybe even a little better, as a Kenton Trombone Section album. Another part of the Kenton formula, at least during the Capitol yeas, was that any time he did something "faddish" llike this, he'd do it to a few or more of his old warhorses. This one is no exception.

It was a follow-up to this one (true!)

Try to play the video that opens this thread...

Totally. That's how I got sucked in...so much spontaneous yet absolutely deliberate delineation. It's like he dares you to pay get on, and then dares you to get off. Words don't really suffice, but yeah, Steve Lacy!

Lacy is not somebody to listen to if you're not one for the very deliberate expansion of ideas. He drives some people crazy with that, people be in such a hurry about things sometimes, but as somebody who feels you can never take too much time to get anything right, he tickles me pink. Plus, what he's really doing is "worrying" a note in super-slo-mo, breaking it down into mega lines that if sped up would be just one worried note. He's like a blues player who is using the blues vibrational plane to put forth a plan in full minute detail, like life is a debate class, here's my premise, fully extrapolated, you think you can find a hole in this logic, go for it, and good luck.

Today was Moomey day. An annual tradition, always a fun day.

Playin' them slickass heads!

Annie Haslam Roy Wood Don Herbert

I'll never forget when some non-playing serious fan told me about this album within a few weeks of its release - "Say man, you got that new JJ album where him and Joe are playin' them slickass heads?" No, I didn't have it, yet, but to this day, I see that cover and immediately think, yeah, that's the album where JJ & Joe are playin' them slickass heads. Just can't help it. Me, I don't mind the "period" production...kinda enjoy it, actually. Sometimes "timeless" devolves into "coulda been anybody at any time", and some chronological specificity makes it realer than it might otherwise be. This was not Flanagan's only Rhodes outing in Keepnews-Land, there was this one, which actually got good airplay here. Sounded real good on an AM car radio during afternoon drive time, I kid you not. Or maybe I was just in the mood, who knows, who cares? Rhodes sounds like night to me. Club-type night, people just hanging out type night, not serious let's all sit still be quiet and LISTEN type night. At least this type of Rhodes does.

The original commercial issue was a gatefold "two-fer" style package, not a lot on the inside really, (probably the same photo that you have on the back is inside right), but if you've got the original cover art in a single sleeve and with labels like that and not those of the regular issue...what a fascinating find! Here's a link to consider on a "what the hell" basis:http://www.bizapedia.com/ct/WINDSOR-RECORDS-AND-TAPES-INC.html Just looked at my copy, and it's got MASTERDISK stamped in the dead wax, as well as EDP inside an oval, along with the regular matrix #...no way do I claim to be a scholar of such things, or even remotely aware of them, but there's this: http://www.masterdisk.com/about-masterdisk/ and this http://www.christmachine.com/tag/dead-wax/ which seems to me to be contradictory, how can it be both MASTERDISK and EDP?, but like I said, I don't know about any of this. Just having "Windsor" thrown into the mix...sounds like an adventure ready to get going, if you ask me. Congrats!

Milestone Bartz. Ah! "Perihelion And Aphelion" from Another Earth. I keep forgetting that that record has a Side 2...reminder both needed and appreciated.

A real test pressing or a promo copy? In the original hat Hut packaging? Either way, WHOA!

I've long known this about jazz (and known but generally haven't cared too much about rock/pop/etc.), but yes, "classical" music too, and to a degree I'm finding pleasantly surprising. All those Music & Arts live sets and other airshots...I read a thing where one guy described it as "the theater of performance" or something like that, which is a little critic-ish, but still true once you get past that. That Horenstein BBC Mahler 9th...I don't know that you get a commercially-produced record/performance like that, ever. And I don't know that you ever hear the piece the same after you hear it like that. That shit is dirty, in the good/best way. Ragged but right, as they say. As far as real time performers, I think the only real sustainable model of building interest is letting everybody in on the ongoing saga, that's where "everybody" seems to be at these days, if it's over a week or two old, it's over. what have you done LATELY? I exaggerate, but only in service of the point.
