All I wanted to see was a Packers-Saints showdown for the NFC title. That would have been way cool. Was that asking too much? Apparently so. I got two really good games instead, but two plates of spaghetti when you're hungry for one bowl of chili is not satisfying, no matter how good the spaghetti is. The NFL owes me lunch.

Them Harbaugh boys seems to be a bit too riled up a bit too often for their own good.

I think they were saying "DREWWWWWWWWWW"....at least I hope so....

Life on Venus? Debunked here:

There's a "private recording" of a New Year's eve gig tha Princes did, & Miles sits in...Prince kids him by saying "Aren't you up past your bedtime, Miles?" Miles brought nothing particularly profound to the ocasion, but Prince uses the entire evening to play a bunch of "party band" staples about as well as they've ever been played by damn near anybody. The tape is worth it for that.

Mentioned in the previous post. Matching time stamps!

There was the Savoy CD box set...

Clay allegedly got the call sometimes in the mid-50s, but wasn't home to get it. That's the local lore, anyway.

That's exactly what I like about it! Fusion as "pop" works for me far more often that Fusion as...anything else. So if I can hear a freakin' Justin Beiber song done like this, all I can do is smile and wait for real-world pop to catchup. That's probably going to be quite the long wait, but still... I love pop, but it very seldom loves me back.

I had the same thought, but decided that Golson's innate "fussiness" (not so much in what he played but how he presented it, the effect of what you have after it's over) would not have worked with Miles. Too "sunny:. Same thing with Johnny Griffin's ebullience. Those are the two guys who could be mentioned in the same breath as mid-late 50s Trane in terms of pushing the instrument in that timeframe. However, if history could be ignored and played with, I'd like to have heard a never-expatriated Don Byas (and all the possible implications thereof) with Miles, instead of Sonny Stitt...but it would have to be with Red Garland, not Wynton Kelly.

Clifford Solomon?

Bobby Bryant...Charles Owens...Arthur Adams...maybe????????

What's up with the few people who don't have the right shirts? Paul Anka needs to take charge of this outfit, I can see that right now.

You and me both...but is the world ready for that one yet? Will it ever be ready? I'm skeptical...

No problem. AFAIK, that's it. There might be something done during his European sojourn, but if so, I've not heard of it. BTW - the DB interview/article was done by John Litweiler, who posts here on occasion (including a few posts earlier in this thread!).
