I concur about the badass excellence of this collection of recorded performances!

I believe John McNeil as well. Yeah, Eddie WHO? is all up in there.

I also dug how Horace covered Weldon Irvine, kinda like a father saying "thank you, son, I appreciate that". or if you prefer:

I'm not allowed to feel warmth towards the Spurs, they got the Turtlehead AND that fucking wife-cheatering frog Tony Parker (hey, that Eva Longoria was a good woman, a GOOD woman, how you do her all wrong like that, asshole? You don't deserve nothin' on your genitals but algae = funky itchy stanky algae of an unknown but unmistakeable hue - for the rest of your life for that), and the whole "Coach Pop" thing gets on my nerves as does Cousin Balki, what's his name, Manute Chernobyl, so yeah, I'm a Spurhater but DAMN, that was some LOL stuff. Hats off to ya', old annoying fucks, hats off to ya'! Still hatin', but fullest props are due.

Yes! http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/14/arts/music/an-ornette-coleman-tribute-at-celebrate-brooklyn.html?_r=0 Apparently Savion Glover tapped some on "Ramblin'". I would have love to have seen/heard that, seriously. Let's talk about "you can't dance to it", HA!

"Commercial", yeah, ok, but it's still Horace Silver, how is that not gonna be "commercial" and how should it not be? Radio play out the ass around here, that one got. Nobody I knew complained when it came on the air! This was his last Blue Note album, and geez, there are so many...interesting pieces on it. Didn't they finally get around to reissuing the "Silver "N" series in Japan within the last 12 months? Talk about a mixed bag of mixed treasures...same thing with the Silveto albums, if it was anybody else but Horace Silver, it would just be quirky, but it is Horace Silver, ok?

Pretty sure he was on the road band when he made those 60s records. No? I can only quote this: http://www.northsidesf.com/feb11/op_appetitesandafterthoughts.html What I don't know is if he was playing in the section too or just appearing as "featured soloist". Either way, I don't think it was a prolonged association. But it did happen.

Oh, Roy was with Basie, somewhere in the mid-late 1960s. He's on Broadway Basie's Way. It is what it is. Not sure how long the gig lasted, but he did The Nifty Cat Strikes West with a contingent from the Basie band. http://www.northsidesf.com/feb11/op_appetitesandafterthoughts.html

I know that historically there have been some who were made uncomfortable by Eldridge's "exhibitionist tendencies", but ok, like Dizzy Dean said, it ain't braggin' if you can back it up, and when did Roy Eldridge make a promise he didn't keep? That's not about "good taste", that's about personal honor. I mean, c'mon, Roy on this is like Popeye delivering the final knockout punches to Bluto or Hitler or Bull Connor, only Popeye never battled Bull Connor, but that's ok, hey, Roy Eldridge, right? Right! On! Not a cartoon.

I'm, at times, an idiot and a jerk, often in conjunction. Can I get a gig writing for the Times? If so, how much does the gig pay, and will they pay cash?

And then Schoenberg smacked the bitch good, got out a pair of pliers, and then yanked another tooth out. "There, make twice as many mistakes and be done with it", he glowered while swinging the pliers holding the bloody tooth in such a way that if she even half as much as flinched, they'd hit her, hit her hard. Sorry, but there are some things I just won't watch. "Straw Dogs", fine. "Clockwork Orange", fine. Certain types of porn involving very realistic role-playing, fine. But other things, no. This is one of those things. Like I said, personal choice, and not a "broad" value-judgement. And, apart from me throwing in my two-cents worth, of no meaning one way or the other.

Well hell, it's not enough to have players constantly going down/out with injuries, now we got top-shelf journalists dieing. http://www.lonestarball.com/2014/6/18/5819934/remembering-richard-durrett 2014 can have its baseball without me, I think.

Sorry, not looking at any more of that since it's all "drama" and not based on a true story. Personal choice. People who find that kind of thing entertaining should avail themselves of the opportunity to work with certain bandleaders and then go hit a kid of their choice just because. Let's see how "dramatically compelling" that all gets then.

Yeah... Is that based on a true story or are people just working out other personal issues with that story?

That's uncomfortable to watch.

Well, there's a man who left his mark, and then some. The ripple effect's likely to go on indefinitely. Much love & RIP.

What a pleasant surprise, thanks!

They do that in Belgium?

I see you've been listening to Adam Rogers. He's been a longtime participant in Monday's records as well. But her stuff is not like these people's (and, of course, vice-versa). Still (a lot of) the same people (sometimes together) and nobody's compromising. That's part of the thrill (for me), but...not to everybody's liking, for sure.
