It's the rules.

I'll take a guess based on your long-standing and not-unjustified Stephanie Zimbalist crush...

You're assuming that I didn't...waffle cones are shaped that way for a reason!

Having eaten a buttload full of vegan ice cream last night that, yeah, was scrumdiddlyicious and dairy/fat-free and all that good stuff but loaded past the over-the-buttload common-sense-limit of sugar, there are things in life that you just gotta ask...why?

Did not know that Harvey Fuqua was the co-producer on this one. That guy got around!

It's 1972, and Columbia's HOT!!! Mort Goode & The Inner Sleeve live! Now... File this one under No It Doesn't, You Silly Ass. Now Stop Wanking And Get Back To Work: This, though, is the one that has me pondering: Unless there's an actual recording session going on, in which case the odds of that happening are slim and none (with Slim having just left town), I'm left to ponder exactly how a chaise lounge set up in the middle of a room full of inactivity would sound...and if I want to pay actual expensive money to hear it. Who knew that straw-grasping would be so entertaining?

Well, that was easy. Thanks!

MF Distribution. 3 LPs of solo, 2 quartet. I passed the damn thing up a million times for $10 at my old record store, fool that I am. Is this going to be one of those Holy Grail type finds these days?

Oddly enough, nobody's mention this piano trio:

I've been spending some serious casual time on road trips listening to Sergio Mendes' prime A&M records, and as well-crafted, sensitively interpreted Brazilian-Flavored American Pop Music, there's no fault to be found and much pleasure to be derived. It is what it is, and it ain't what it ain't. Proceed accordingly, ya' know?

Are you thinking of Clifton Davis and "Never Can Say Goodbye"?

I have two lps in the "Father of Modern Jazz" box set with the same crew except for Buck, and they're possibly "reigned" in but it seems all want to play this way, with elegance and beauty. I love 'em! Yeah, I mean, how do you not love those guys, right? I hear ya'. But on this particualr album, there's a few cuts where they loosen up and play...uh, looser, and the rest sound kind of..."produced", maybe with an eye towards radioplay. 1968 had to have been a weird time to make a major label record like this. I know it's unreasonable to look at Milt Gabler & a date like this in 1968 and expect a Commodore-type 1940 thing, but still...not a bad record at all, really, just would have preferred just a teence a bit more looseness overall. What is this 5 record Hines set, btw? What label was it released on? Is it all live stuff? I might need to go a-huntin' for that one!

Sherman Hemsley, an actor best known for his overbearing sitcom roles, notably the upwardly mobile and bigoted African American George Jefferson in the long-running show “The Jeffersons” and the egotistical minister in “Amen,” has died in El Paso. He was 74.

-Surely that's Sally Field!

Nobody's saying anything about movin' on up to that deluxe apartment in the sky? RIP. One of the great characters in television comedy history, George Jefferson was and he (Hemsley) was pretty funny in Amen as well.
