Is this a trick question? http://keithcorrea.com/

Thanks again. I'm holding on with cautious optimism for now, will give it another few days before going full-bore worrisome.

That was my assumption and why I posted the link. I emailed Eastwind yesterday & received a quick response - they will be getting in copies of this & the new Eric Dolphy CD (Muses) ASAP - were released on Nov 25 in Japan Maximum Rare Records has copies listed (Japanese online dealer - been dealing with them for the past 2 years & service is good plus shipping rates are low) http://www.ebay.com/itm/BUD-POWELL-LIVE-BIRDLAND-1957-JAPAN-ISSUE-CD-999-Ltd-Ed-G00-/271332405871?pt=Music_CDs&hash=item3f2cabf26f I bought this from this seller on 11/29, still have not received shipping notice (or product) and have just sent my second request for an update (or refund if the item will not be available)...what is your experience with this seller's communication? My copies shipped yesterday (Powell & Dolphy) from Maximum Rare Records - there can sometimes be a delay between purchasing & shipping with this mob but they have always come through for me (including replying to emails) Thanks. Do you communicate through eBay, or is there another avenue?

All you need is an apple. Yes, time for a snack. Thanks for the reminder!

Andrew Over The Hill doesn't sound appropriate, best intentions aside.

Being fruitful and multiplying? I am working on a spreadsheet, and there is math involved, so...close enough?

Should be the same guy, yeah, if you mean the one who played on the Welk show for its last years.

He says, "Yeah, Skeets", so my guess would be Skeets Herfurt, who Nelson Riddle used a lot during that time (it's his chart, iirc).

Wait...am I reading this right? They're going to be giving concerts "recreating" records that only a few people have ever heard? And people will be thrilled to pay money to hear this? Yes, "imaginative". Quite.

Gotta to be middle 70s, but...who/how/where/why?

But not this guy?

I'd just like to say "thank you" to life for people like Jim Hall, who could take one "easy way out" too many, and instead maybe don't take any, or if they do, keep a perspective when they do and don't get rurnt for the long haul. The first time I heard him was on either the first Chico Hamilton Quintet album or the Two Degrees East... side, both came more or less together. Then Sonny's What's New, and then one of the Helen Merrill Milestone dates, all in the space of a year or so. By then, I got the idea - Jim Hall was always going be Jim Hall, and that was always going to be something at once wholly appropriate to the setting, yet never faceless and/or phoned in. http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/jazz-guitarist-master-jim-hall-dies-83-21168067 So, yeah, be a nerdy-looking guy with a twinkle in your eye, a spark in your brain, stay married a long time, then die in your sleep after a short illness. And leave behind on helluva diverse and integrety-laden legacy, one with no cheapness in in it, ever. Again, a heartfelt "thank you" to life for people like Jim Hall.

this.

Well, that's a bit of a stretch...just heard the one work, and then only because it was on a collection of "modern American piano trios" or some such that I found because of looking for Mel Powell, and then on top of that, the material itself, I'm not totally sold on, but that might be the interpretation (although the Powell is just dandy, imo). I can hear the math too clearly/easily/readily, if you know what I mean. But I did hear a touch of kinship to Hill in that one movement, so, who knows, maybe in the hands of another group, it would be more of a jump-out-and-grab-me kind of a thing. I'll reserve judgement (no Hill-pun intended), but for right now, yes, I'll take Hill, without question. But still, not without interest in Imbrie, perhaps. That Mel Powell, thing, though, that's got some meat to it. Him, I will be pursuing with some vigor at some point soon.

Is that the Joe Carroll?

If one cannot hear a shared DNA between this and On The Corner (just hum whistle, or otherwise vibrate "Black Satin" over that drum line and tell me if it ever does not fit like a freakin' glove), I do not know what to tell one, then, although it goes back further and deeper than any of just one of these things. That's what the gist of it is, although truth is just too damn simple for people once money gets involved, what with truth being and making you free and all that. Yes, you Herman Lubinsky, yes, you Stanley Crouch, and yes all the other people who know who they are but won't know it.

Try listening to Ormandy's Rite Of Spring and ask yourself, damn, why is he trying to make it sound like Beethoven and how is he making it actually do so? That's one of those things where you scream to yourself NO NO NO THIS IS NOT HAPPENING THIS CAN NOT BE HAPPENING IT IS NOT POSSIBLE but it keeps happening anyway, so hey, stay in that zone until you come out of it, because you will, but just getting there in the first place, that's trip enough for the day, trust me.

I've always found Benny Green entertaining. Silly, often, but always entertaining. I guess I'm in the minority, but Bob Blumenthal bores the H-E-Double-HELL out of me. That Mark Gardner guy who wrote for Prestige in the late-60s/early-70s reissues (pre-Fantasy), he was another one who was always a good read. Quite often alarmist/reactionary/worried/borderline suicidal in his despair of how bad things had gotten for everybody and everything, but hell, that's entertainment right there!

Ok, here's one - try listening to the 2nd movement of Andrew Imbrie's Trio # 2 (1989, as performed by The Francesco Trio) as if it's Andrew Hill. That gets really interesting...
