I find it revealing that the guy worked, willingly worked, as a janitor. From Joe Goldberg's Jazz Masters Of The 50s (1965): Etc...

Sonny had moved to Chicago following(?) a stay at Lexington (the federal pen in Ky where a lot of narcotics convictions ended up). He had been working as a janitor to get his head back together, & had begun playing again, to kind of "ease back" into. That's what he was doing in Chicago.

UP!!!!

What if we fall asleep and miss it?

From Ellery Eskelin's blog...this is beyond priceless, for infinitely so may reasons... http://elleryeskelin.blogspot.com/2010/05/lester-young.html

I think we might have fundamentally different notions of the uses and functions of sound. It's all good, though.

Not nearly as much as this:

Are we "dirtying" or "thickening"? The former implies a distinct quality of contact, the latter, more an increased likelihood for fuller contact, I think the concept of "clean" plays to a physiological distance from one's most immediate environment, spaces of separation. Thick means you always touching something somehow. Clean is real for some, but so is thick for others.

As played by Joseph Orange on

Are we not there yet?

Cool! I've casually heard those Singer Euro sides and dug them for the casual listens I've given them. Might be time to revisit!

Hal Singer?

Sometimes life is thick. Even happy life.

they don't

Works for me - the feelgood hit of the summer!

Depends on where you live and when the mortgage boarded. I've seen some really nightmarish scenarios where the property value has dropped more than 75%. The phrase "negative equity" is not a media creation by any means... Obviously that's not true in your case (hopefully!), but one of the as-of-yet-unplayed cards in the whole housing market collapse is whether or not the PMI companies are going to survive all the defaults, foreclosures, and short sales, and if so, at whose expense. From a purely consumer standpoint, yeah, PMI is bullshit, an unnecessary pad-on. Most people do not default, period. But as a "business decision" on the part of the mortgage underwriters, it's not as obviously exploitative as it might appear at first glance. Which is not to say that it's ultimately still not exploitative. But "business" is all about making that money and "protecting that investment", doncha' know...

I vividly remember this logo from the TV commercials of my youth!

Not Gene Ammons or Jo Jones then, eh? Not Jo Jones I can live with, but that tenor player really sounds like Jug to me, even with the Varitone. But I guess not...damn.

Well, yeah, obivously. But who else?

Looking for recommendations.
