Maybe I was projecting, but those "reversions" were what interested me most about them...it seemed very...fuquitous to me, that whole "dissent through submission" thing I mentioned earlier, like, this is what we have to work with, pretty much all we have to work with as far as "authentic source material", so this is what we will do with it. Again, this is just me, but I tend to appreciate the "how" of things getting done at least as much, sometimes more, than the actual thing that is getting done. Past the "how" lies the "why" and that...that's where things can get...involved. Certainly possible, almost certain actually, that this leads to a lot of projecting/whatever, but the decision to embrace/not embrace any music is anything but objective. Anyway...I should revisit this band. Apparently I've cleared my collection of their output, but for sure, I remember the version of "Mack The Knife" that Steve references...strong stuff. So...rebuying some things. Again. Never again will I purge. It's cheaper to keep her, so to speak.

Are you old yet?

Very much liked them back in the day. Sorta went off my radar post-Iron Curtain, perhaps the/an ironic cruelty of freedom and/or the built-in "Western" fetishization of "victimhood", but now that you bring them up, I should probably revisit. There's something about the core attitude of basic defiance through superficial acceptance that still appeals to my gut, like, ok, life has given us lemons, we'll just make key lime pie out of them, deal with that.

Sorry, bad memory, it was two songs, not three - "How Could You Do a Thing Like That to Me" & "I Can't See For Lookin'". I do remember going over this all at Shawn's crib one night. There's four additional tunes that could conscientiously be added to any further release of the original album. Side note - here another cover for Recapitulation:

I'd like to know how much of Sr.'s music remains unrecorded, or even unpublished. I'm thinking in particular of works that would fall outside of the "jazz mainstream".

I have 74 Miles Away on reel, it's a different sound with all the tape hiss. Not unpleasurable, all things considered.

can't see a one of your images... ? Sorry. Discogs images are quirky here for some reason. Here's the site from which you can see the albums. Just click on the album name. http://www.discogs.com/label/31486-Cadet-Records The Burrell 2-fer Cool Cookin' was a hidden discographical gem because it contained three previously unreleased tracks from the Vanguard trio date with Davis & Haynes. None of the others were so fruitful iirc, but given the then-scarcity of much of the Chess/Argo/Cadet/Etc catalog in those days, they were welcome on the shelves, and always served as good listening experiences independent of the "album" context.

Some early 70s Chess/Cadet 2-fers.

I love how this opens the album.

Just looked at the album, confirmed as Nat. This is Cannonball: and this is Nat Adderley, Jr. That's one badass album, period. Still needs a CD issue. None of 'em could really sing, but if you want real singing, listen to real singers. This is just one big family gathering. And oh by the way, the instrumental cuts are fucked up HAPPENING!

Pretty sure it's Nat.

I went ahead and got the Quincy Jones set. I was on the fence about it until it came down to $77, and then, hey, oh well, close enough.

Yeah, reading, that's the dumbest thing ever invented. All you do is look at these line-y shape-y thingies on a bunch of paper for a while and then you're like, ok, time to do something else. But do you? No, you don't. I spent a whole summer of my youth doing that to one of those, uh...books, yeah (nooks?), that's what they call them. Something by a husband-wife team, James & Joyce I think they were called, some book about President Grant. At least I think that's what it was about, who knows for sure? All I know was that I was 16 years old, and there was more sex in that book than there was in my summer. That should have served as a precautionary table, but no. God gave us eyes for sunglasses and ears for headphones, not the other way around. Only recently has this point become clear to me. I have wasted my life.

For a quick minute, I thought this was going to be about the gum company. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41fuwMbQ7pM

Looks like the takeaway from all this is that it's probably best for to not read about something you don't already know about.
