One helluva piece to make a coherent whole out of, but this is more than just coherent. It's virtually cinematic in it's aural flashbacks and episodic thought structures and overall narrative flow.

I don't have the ability to do this. If it's possible. Kevin might and Jim A definitely does.

I have an old handheld unit that I keep in the bathroom. The joke is obvious. But I play a game a day. That joke is obvious to

How much can you afford to lose? 🤠

Surely I am not the only one to enjoy this game?

Such a project could get pretty wonky, because Richard Bock was going in a lot of different ways all at once. But that's what fascinates me about that period, the sheer different paths being taken by the label all at once, from Ravi Shankar to Buddy Rich to The Mariachi Brass to Bud Shank MOR records to The Jazz Corps to Craig Hundley, just everywhere. And then it just all stopped!

This is something that I: A) would never have heard of/known about if this hadn't been released in this series B) would never have bought if not so affordably priced As it is, it's proven to be one of my favorite finds this year. Not the whole thing, mind you, but more than half of it, for sure. Them boys came to play!

I'll put in for the Sony Classical Complete Albums box sets of the last decade or so. Includes both Columbia and RCA Red Seal. Probably not of interest to many here, but for those for whom it is, great music at great prices, Real opportunities to discover some new things.

Good call!!!

I thought about that, but I know him strictly as an arranger. This sounds like a real tenor player, with phrasing credentials out the ass.. Maybe he did that too.

No, that's the character Mimi Bobeck.

Mimi Ohio Theatre? Is that a Drew Carey Show reference?

Lee Allen?

Don Wilkerson? Sounds SO familiar...the eas guess is Plas Johnson, but I don't think so.

Santhia deMaythis Peppercorn - My Daddy Kills People For Fun!!! Them Peppercorns has the reputation... Them Peppercorns has the reputation...

Very much. The only "problem" is Leo Wright'd intonation. It's really a problem on the heads. Three horns... But that's the type of thing that I notice but am not necessarily bothered by.

Someday I'd like to see a documentation of the label post-1965, as well as the World Pacific label. But that's another story altogether...

A cursory A/B of the two pieces here that were recorded earlier on Columbia suggest an even higher level of command, which should not be conflated with "ease". There is nothing "easy" about this music. But in turn, that should not be conflated with "difficult to listen to". There's an inmate logic to all of this music that is just ..there. And resistance just obscures it more, the resistance to the logic is what obscures the music. It's not a problem with the music! I've always dug Berg, but I used to HATE Webern. No more. His music now seems like a delightful riddle that maybe is infinitely solvable. And the JSQ plays the hell out of it! These works in particular display just damn many textures they were capable of creating. A wonderful thing in and of itself! So yeah, this is another damn good record. But it doesn't cancel the Columbia! Performances aside, the older record has a bit of a "thicker" sound, the RCA Living Stereo is crystal clear. So the one is like a hard rock mass coming straight at you and the other is like a dancing set of light beams.

I can't forget how clueless his (no doubt sincere) attempt to get Ronnie Spector back in the spotlight was. Sounds like an ego trip to me. Not that George Harrison did any better.. Ok, the Billy Joel song is not credited as being produced by Springsteen. But somebody should have done something about that one!

They pave paradise and put out a big box set.
