Too bad you were so hung up on the meaning of "quote" and the perceived relevance to "Evidence" that you failed to address the bigger point - the use by Pres of the I to #I and back again. That #1 turns up in a lot of later blues/R&B records as a ii(or II)-bII-I progression, quite apart from aqny obvious bebop/tritone-sub theoretical "inspiration". It's what Pres was using even early on, getting to the I from the II, not by going the long way, to the V, but by just kinda dropping down in there, nice and easy, low-profile like. Anti-angular in motion, actually, like slipping into a pair of shoes rather than using a shoe horn, but "angularly" dissonant/chromatic to "Western"-informed ears who are used to everything being moving diatonically. Don't know that Pres was the first one to do it, but afaik he's the first one to routinely do it, and to what extent it influenced "Intermission Riff"/"Yard Dog Mazurka", I don't know, but I'll give him at least some credit for it's presence in post-war R&B/Blues. Not the first and/or only time he can found there, either. That, I think, might have been worth an observation. The "quote" thing, not so much. Oh well!

Well, not necessarily...I mean, hey, Matt Harrisson...you never know, literally, when it could all fall apart, and once you get to the middle relivers, all bets are off, but...yeah, this one was looking pretty good. Hopefully, though, the momentum is not lost. We need to hurt the Angels this time around, and if the clicking is indeed beginning, that could well happen. Last go-round was pretty ugly. It's already been a weird season, but it doesn't have to turn into a bad one, if you know what "i mean... We shall see.

Obviously!

It appears, though, that his position is being challenged!

Densities are funny things. Some yield easier than others, especially when you have a lot of "solo lines" going on at the same time (even if they are functioning as backgrounds/background fragments), as is the case with both of those albums. I for get if it's behind Hubbard or Cherry, but at one point, Ornette and Dolphy get into this exchange of "vocalized" phrases that is just delirious. But it's only one thing going on at the time, and it's not the "featured" thing at the time.

I think it's a fine album, although I heard it literally for decades on LP before CD, so I'm used to the break between sides, which might be coloring my perception. Having said that, I don't think either trumpeter is heard to any particular advantage, although having said that, what happens behind both of them is pretty nifty. And actually, I do find plenty of nuanced detail in the overall work, although it might take a while to get it out of the overall mass of sound. It's a lot like Bitches Brew in that regard. Either way, once you get past Cherry, Side Two, the rhythm section spots are just stunning, I think. No, it's not as "well-formed" as Ornette's small group work of the same time, but given the time and place, I wouldn't expect it to be. That book hadn't been written yet!

Dammit...game called, Mitch Moreland's slam no longer exists. It would likely have been a much-needed two wins in a row before 20 Games In 20 Days finishes, and would definitely have been a huge boost going into the weekend series against the Angels. In the meantime, the hardcore fans are really, truly pissed: http://www.lonestarball.com/2011/5/11/2166318/game-called-because-gerry-davis-had-a-plane-to-catch

You didn't ask if there was a similarity, you asked if there was a quote, which has an exact meaning, and of which there is none in the sample provided. It is not the same meaning as "paraphrase" or "reference". If you don't want to be misunderstood, say what you mean. And if you don't want to be "stalked", please refrain from asking questions that have straightforward answers in an open forum. Thank you.

Rangers looking at the outside chance of losing a 7-0 lead to...a rainout. Matt Harrison's looking good, we got the 6 fairly quickly, would've been nice to stop there and get that 4.5 in before the storm, which could have been easily done, theoretically. Oh well, it's a day game, so barring horsehead-sized hail and/or fatal tornadoes (always a possibility in an Arlington springtime), the game resumes at some point. Here's hoping Harrison stays sharp when it does, like the Approaching-Inner-Colby-Lewis Colby Lewis did last night.

Wasn't supposed to be.

That's a distinct possibility! Maybe I should should just burn a copy from my LP & leave well enough alone.

I'm thinking that I never did buy Native Dancer on CD, but dammit, I'm pretty sure I did.

Never thought I'd take an eggplant to bed with me, but you did say that it was pickled, so...

Well, it took a batting order inspired by Seinfeld ( http://texas.rangers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110510&content_id=18879516&notebook_id=18884820&vkey=notebook_tex&c_id=tex ), a 59 minute rain delay, some substandard (finally!) Oakland pitching, and some Getting More Towards His Inner Colby Lewis Than At Any Point Yet This Season Colby Lewis, but hey - the Rangers finally played baseball the way the Rangers should always play baseball - get good starts, don't expose the bullpen, and don't waste opportunities to score. Yeah, just use your talent better than the other guy's, because...it is, usually. Which is why it sucks when they don't. Well, it was fun tonight, let's go again tomorrow and see. The Matt Harrison Traveling Psychodrama is a' comin' to town. P-nutz, popcohrn, and KRAAAACKKER JAAAAAKKK.

It is what it is...and it works best when it works.

It's a good record, and you find out that Herbie's nickname is Oatmeal because he's "done in three minutes"...I actually read a national review that claimed to not get it... Or is that on the Miles Jorgie's side w/George Coleman? Yeah, I think it is.

Colt 45 indeed.

What is that stuff? It looks mildly vulvic.

Nope. I'm beginning to wonder if I ever bought this on CD...

Amazon in general is about one thing only - commerce. Pure, raw, unadulterated commerce.There is no "sanctity" to the Amazon reviews, no agreed-upon standards, no mandate to be representative of any demographic, they're just there to draw people in and hopefully buy something while they're there. To that end, hey Mr. & Mrs. Music Loving Public - Amazon offers you, yes, you, the opportunity to place your honest and sincere love/knowledge/whatever about the music you know/love/whatever in the service of pure, raw, unadulterated commerce. No some overpaid/underclued PR team, not some lying pimping jerkwads, not some elite prissy screening committee, but you. Yeah,you, right there with your fatass sitting in front of god knows what. You. You got a chance to pimp the system and be honest about it. 100% honest, 100% pimping. Ask yourself - how often in life does an opportunity like that come along? How often in your life to you get to get in the Whore Game and maintain your integrity, maybe even enhance it a bit? Does your job let you do that? Does our church let you do that? Does anybody or anything let you tell the truth, not lie, and then stand to make a profit of it? You, not some hired hands who all have roles to play, but YOU! It's a rare opportunity in this world, it is. Carpe Diem when/if (and only when/if) the mood strikes, no matter what the reason. But dammit, bust a move when you do, because Corporate Capitalism usually don't work that way.

What you're getting into there is "cratedigger" territory, a lot of lot of local stuff that is, uh..."local" in every sense of the word, good, and bad, sometimes extremely so. I love the stuff myself, but I've been into it since it was new, so I have a high tolerance (bordering on love, really) for "local" funk. So if you want to go there, those are good collections. If, otoh, the JB Stuff just wet/whetted your whistle for some more of the more "top shelf" stuff, there are other places I'd go first.

Yikes! Good thing it's digital!

I'm told that Shadow Wilson was found in a trash can in an alley. Maybe it's a really slow serial killer at work?
