Keeny Barron, McCoy Tyner, Cecil McBee, nice populist jazz from around the last days of when such a thing needed no qualifications or apologies.

Captain Hate, this is General Principles. Your commission has been revoked.

This was the most important "historical issue" in quite a while in that it didn't just collect together old stuff everybody already knew/knew about, it exposed something altogether unknown of and about people places and things that would go on to be even more known and even more important. AFAIC, stuff like this deserve a category unto itself.

Turrentine had that flow.

Looked like a strike to me...and one really nasty curve ball!

I found Funny People to be interesting, if not necessarily "good". Every comedian (aspiring or otherwise) I've known has been pretty dark (and not necessarily in a funny way) when not on, and this one played to that. Overall though, hey, the guy's got his thing and is getting rich off of it and not off of me, so it's all good like that.

Holy shit...

I'd call the FAA.

"Billy The Mountain", to me, IS L.A. in all it's glory, perverse and otherwise. Or so I've been convinced by those who are from there. By the same token, the Flo & Eddie band IS low-level satire and sex jokes in all it's glory, perverse and otherwise. It's the last Zappa band I could enjoy w/o any reservations at any level. Perhaps not coincidentally, it's also the last Zappa band, chronologically, before I began to transition out of adolescence. I forgot about "Magdalena", though, yet, that one was hot! And "Eddie Are You Kidding" (another "pure L.A. thing. or so I've been convinced by those who are from there), that was another good one. "Call Any Vegetable", though, didn't really care for that one, sounded like a "rock parody" of the orginal (my first Mothers album was We're Only In It... then went back and bought the catalog in release order...in 1969-70, that was pretty easy!)

"Sonny Stitt"..."Last Chance"...."Running Low"...I guess death is the opposite of life.

For me, Hot Rats, Uncle Meat, Burnt Weeny Sandwich, Weasels, Absolutely Free (for nostalgia's sake; I was 12 when I first bought it), and Fillmore East (absolutely brilliant satire). If you want to narrow it down to one or two, Hot Rats and Uncle Meat. Thanks. What about the other live one -- band from LA or somesuch? Just Another Band From L.A....Billy The Mountain (Side One) is EPIC. I'm sure Side Two was good, but frankly, I can no longer remember it.
