That style of LP cover was called UNIPAK. It was like a traditional gatefold only the front cover was thin, and the album itself loaded in from the inside right. So your album could not fall out! I guess it wasn't like a traditional gatefold, because there was no paper pasted on it anywhere. Pretty nifty design. I like it!

Crazy font!

Burl Ives The Blue-Tailed Fly Blowfly (the blue-taled fly?)

That clip (with Eric Clapton) is also on YouTube. Mileages will probably vary, but I find it pretty damn bleak all the way around, although Kirk at least had someplace better to go (figuartively, if not literally) once it was all over.

2012 is coming a bit early this year...

Jimmy Slyde and Jo Jones had an understanding!

The opening head to Sonnymoon For Two was edited to be eight bars!

Sonny was "honored" by a world less worthy than him.

That one's pretty boring, actually...more of a "nostalgia" album aimed at the older audiences. From a few years earlier, Live At Redlands University was the first album released on his own Creative World label (now available on GNP), and it's a fine document of a fine young band playing (mostly) fresh, invigorating material in a like manner. This was the album and the band that led to Kenton's reemergence onto the "contemporary big band" scene. In other words, it was a bit of a "comeback" album, and a fine one it was. I don't know that any of the albums after it quite hit this level of across-the-board consistency and inspiration.

Shred.

How much was the violin worth off the bus?

Well, shit. Sam was a true original. Nothing but maximum love for him here, ever. RIP, Sam Rivers, and know that you were heard loudly, clearly, and joyfully.

There's a Mahones Prestige date where Larry Young sits in on Bali Hai. That's pretty cool.

Here his is hearing Trane (initially, anyway) but still speaking Leggio. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMDsk2nojd0

Better to discuss this in terms of discography... IMO, of course

Because not everybody watches the NFL...this transcends all that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5jNCZzTkvI
