  1. Works for me.
  2. Looking over that sessionography, it looks like Altschul was onboard for a while before Holland...what was Holland doing then, did he have another ongoing gig or something? Did Braxton have a working band then that Holland was in?
  3. Sam was off of impulse! by the time this trio really hit its stride, right? Sizzle was his last session for them, and that was this trio "plus"...but right around the time the label began to go in a slightly different direction. That trio was a real road band, though. They played in Tulsa, Oklahoma. At a club. On a night, of course, that I got hung up with something less important but more immediately demanding. But you know, at a "big music school", the cats who leave home have friends who stayed behind, and reports would filter back about the trio here, there trio there, the trio over there, the trio out thataway...those guys made some rounds.

    Don't know who it actually was, but a buddy of mine tells the story of getting hired to play a Bacharach "Pops" concert, and Bacharach cajoling him to get the right sound by saying, "Play wispy, like fog, like smoke, like...Herb Alpert". Now which came first, I don't know. But my buddy was thrown for a BIG loop, because Herb alpert is not exactly "respected" as a "trumpet player", if you know what I mean. But it's interesting to me that Bacharach either found his trumpet muse in Alpert, or Alpert his in Bacharach.
  9. DUDE! I was just logging in to say that exact thing!
  10. Wow. The only run of the game, and that's how it was scored. Talk about having a bad day at the office...

  12. If you're looking for heroes of character, the only place worth looking is inside yourself. That's the only place you can control the findings. If you're looking for heroes of accomplishment, that's another story altogether.There you can look everywhere. Besides, I met Woody twice, albeit informally, and both times he was pleasant, cool even. But his chemical imbalance nd other issues are a matter of record, so if you caught him on a bad night, hey...you want to compare notes about dealing with brilliant people with mental instability and/or substance abuse issues, book the room for at least a month, ok? As for George Braith, I've never met him, but a good buddy of mine used to play with him some in the early 1990s, and he's got nothing but good things to say about him. There's also a formerly very active board member here who also knows him personally and seems to get along with him just fine. Everybody's got a story about somebody. Everybody.

  14. Please do, it'll be an opportunity to chat with the audience!
  15. Buddy Tate - Bob Wilber - Sam Jones - Leroy Williams ‎– Sherman Shuffle Incongruity, thy name is Sherman Shuffle! My jury's still out on Bob Wilber, and probably will be forever...I remain wholly respectful but not totally convinced, moved but not touched, admiring but not advocative, et but not cetera...and so forth. Aside from that, though, a very nice record, especially in terms of the rhythm section, especially in its pianoless quality.
  16. Yes he was, and since I don't know you or your encounter with him, your hurt feelings don't really concern me in this matter. Sorry.
  17. I feel bad about posting that now...Woody Shaw was/is a true hero of mine, and his life story very tragic and saddening. Dark humor is not always tasteful, and I think I was just pissed that Woody's accident resulted as it did. Not that I would wish a reversal of fate towards Mr. Golub, mind you, just that...I wish that Woody would not have had the outcome that day in the subway that he did. You don't know how much I wish that. So...dark humor in the face of personal rage, or something like that.
