I have too have tapes - and cases for them!

Liked him from the first time I heard him, but the more I learned about him, the more I liked him, in no small part for the reasons to which Mark alludes. RIP to a true player.

Have heard it, don't have it, and really don't remember it. Guess that's an answer?

Worth noting that you don't get the block - you have to earn that yourself. Here again, Circle gets The Square, so advantage Circle, intrinsically. Speaking of Unraveling...

Hollywood SQUARES, baby. Joover Ehdgear and them. Eventually gooten by the Circles, no matter how much going for the block they try for. Can't tell the players if you don't have a scorecard. Commentating, not play-cat-ing. Turtle Wax, anybody? I think I need a translator. Or perhaps it's better not to know what this is about. Oh, it's simple - circle inevitably gets the square because Circle gets The Square. Over the long haul, the inverse is never the case, so there ya' go. Simple as that. Any further elaboration would be redundant!

I'm not Dan (nor do I play him on TV, that's my cousin Bobby Tom "B.T." Kobalt), but I like Coldwater Flat just fine (don't know B.T.'s opinion, we're estranged). Oliver Nelson's charts are upper-mid-tier (if that makes any sense) as far as his overall output goes, but whatever notch that should bring it down is compensated (or more) for by the really killing rhythm section (of course!) and the band getting in that pocket and following suit. It's a groovy side, very groovy. Now, Soul Symphony, that's one I'd rather not discuss, still trying to figure out what the attraction of Monk Higgins was other than one really coolass name and an ability to create vaguely generic (a rare category itself, anywhere) soulfulfunky settings for people of a certain age/time/place who happened to be in L.A.(?) at the time), but Coldwater Flat, yeah, I'm always happy to hear that one.

Auto Bio...are we talking Herbie The Love Bug? Not interested if so.

Yeah, show me anything presented by people to other people that's not propaganda of some sort. I've made my peace with that. Besides, watching tv is too much fun to get bogged down by things like, oh, hey, they're trying to get me on their side, I'll take F-rin Zimbalist Jr-Hoover for the block over Martin Luther King, as if circle DOESN't get The Square eventually. If they win, good for them. And if they don't, who wins then? Me, the disinterested viewer, that's who. I am enterdamtained, hello freedom's just another world with nothing left to view! It still can't affect your nerves. Still! and CAN'T. Besides, it was a show-bizzness dynasty, Sr. Jr. & Stephanie. With a name like Zimbalist, it's a miracle that there was even one, but no - three. Three generations of Zimbalists, withor without Jedgar Heever. Proof positive that what's in a last name? No - it's what's up FRONT that counts, lead with your talent and the world WILL trap a bigger mouse. Hell yeah they will. Color me cathode-rayicized, in living Colour, full frontal glued-ity. To the set, that is...sleeping pills, movie stars. Jed! Move away from there! You're blocking my damned view! You make a better door than you do Widower!

Totally agree, but before Collete was there, the trio was a gas. I'll always dig Chico, always. He's one of those guys that will drive you nuts, maybe even piss you off, if you expect him to do anything other than what he does. But once you disabuse yourself of the notion that it will ever be otherwise, hey, nothing but love, pure love. Talk about less interesting after leaving - Gerry Mulligan after Chico. The interest eventually got rediverted, but hey...Chico made that band into a wholistic musical thing, not just a stylish blend of cultish personalities/right-place right-time right music. Not meant as an insult to anybody, just saying, hey, Chico Hamilton, y'all, Chico Hamilton. Yeah, that.

That's funny!

Y'all hush that fuss now, hear? Supper's on.

Yep. No idea how that business really worked, but...don't need to. It worked as intended until it didn't, and when it didn't, that was most unfortunate.

I used to buy all kinds of records by all kinds of singers and all kinds of arrangers just for the kick of finding a good/great song that nobody ever played. There's more of those than you might imagine, but it's kinda like, ok, had its chance, didn't get it, and now things have moved on. Hello Fixed (in all kinds of way) Qualities & Quantities. But still, a (relatively) unknown good/great song is still a kick to run into, and de-fixes the fixes (hello Jazz Legend Mythologistories!) for as long as the spell is cast/lifted (hello unwinnable conundrum of Alternate True Realities).. Two examples: Hello, Bobby Troop (aka Dr. Joe Early) And hello Sid Feller, doggone ya'! What I said a while ago about him always being excellent but never great, I still stand by, but will stipulate an exception along the way, and hello "here one is": And as long as we're saying hello, let's give a friendly waverly gesture to post-bop chromaticism impacting post-bop popular songisms, I'd imagine having Julie London in your personal arsenal pre- and post- gig would get you comfortable with shapely contours that got from one place to another in a non-immediate fashion, although that's just Bobby Troop, granted. But ok, Dr. Early, we all know that look, right, you're telling no secrets by letting THAT cat outta the bag!?

Facebook is not for me.

Pics or it didn't happen.

My point was just that if you want to get a full take on Sonny's playing in the Rollins/Cherry band, Our Man In Jazz will, by itself, give you a very distorted perspective. The live material, rough-sounding as it, will have as much heart in it as you can want!

No worries.

Sorry, had to nip the link three to be in compliance with house rules. Discuss freely, but exchange links privately. Just the way it goes, and thanks in advance for what we hope will be your understanding.
