With the possiblity of being a pedophile running a distant second?

whoa...

And these are actual alternate takes of the Perkins/Lewis/Etc, not edited versions of the album cuts?

So long.

The House Of Lady Jane Wart-Hog!!!! Got to love it!!!!

(let me add for full accuracy's sake that Airto began recording with Miles in November of 1969, but is not on any to-this-point-documented live recordings until 1970. Still, his addition changed things up significantly, adding another layer of rhythm and texture to a group that was already well-supplied with both).

Somewhat - but that album is very heavy on In a Silent Way/Bitches Brew material. In the summer/fall of 1969, the band was still playing a lot of material from earlier in the '60s (Footprints, Masquelero) and even some tunes from the '50s (Round Midnight, Milestones, No Blues). Even those tunes get pretty abstract, though. I'd also add that by the time 1970 rolled around, Airto was in the band, and that made a fundamental difference in the basic texture of the music.

Same tune/arrangement, different perfomance.

All I can do is just stand in awe at the level of genius behind that quote. On the internet, there is no such thing as a wish. There are only requests.

Just received this (forwarded) update:

I had no idea that there was a "Tom Chapin" that wasn't Thomas Chapin. Learn something every day!

I like that one because on "All the Things You Are", Coleman Hawkins tricks out the changes more than Stan Getz or even Don Byas, and does so in the most understated yet emphatic fashion imaginable, kinda like, yeah, ok, y'all do all that, here's what I got. Hey, how 'bout that, eh? How did THAT happen? Hmmm. The older I get, the more I appreciate just what an "Ok, you want to fuck with me? Bring it, then! (smirk chuckle digestive fluids beging flowing)" guy Coleman Hawkins was, and why he needed to be that way the older he got.

Dude, is that a dead horse you guys are gathered around? I really need new glasses...

If there's an alternate of "Almost Like Being In Love" ...I need to hear that for personal reasons.

No holiday tunes, ok?

And not even a useful one.

This year's November Rainey bad news (damn) - his house has burned down. An account has been set up to assist.

Hey, lots of people have changed a lot of things about themselves since their NT days, so I'd not have been surprised.

Where might one hear said Sutherland versions? It's circulated in "collector's circles" and in the blog-o-sphere, and has now been released by one of those Fuzzy Andoras of a label. Amazon has it, or you can drop by the crib sometimes & I'll hook you up with a copy that is every bit as legit as theirs.

He's changed it since his NT days, then. It used to be "sny-DEHR-o".

Details, please?

But still no holiday songs, right?
