Try this one:

I'll take both, thanks.

Stanley Dance seemed to have a (not unwarranted, imo) real bug up his butt about Lees' gushing enthusiasm for "middle class" or "polite" jazzpeople. IMO, that was what gave him his (very real) strength when he wrote about them & what fucked him up when he didn't.

So...if Michael Jordan learned to play polo would that help jazz be more popular, teach more people how to relax, and make everything groovy again, even without words? If so, I say go for it! If not, I say fuck it & let's move on. (almost) Everybody else is... Time is proving that Miles was right...

don't make me have to tell all you little tater-bitches where the good goozey coo is when you'll needs it.

Yes, I think I am...

So let me get this straight before I order - David Boykin and Ira Sullivan play on the same tunes at the same time? Is that happening here?

How do you watch either one (or both) of those videos and not fall in love with Tammi Terrell?

So, was Bernie's Tune absent from the original LP and only added later to the cd release? Why's that? My CD says it was first issued on the Mosaic Mulligan/Baker box. Why, I have no idea. I first heard the material (some of it, anyway) on PLLP-2, a 10" job with the quartet on one side & Konitz added on the flip. The I got this one, the same material as on the one originally pictured, but repackaged for the late-60s market: The 2-LP set I never got, just becuase there was some studio/larger group/more-arranged stuff I didn't really care for all that much. But the real meat for me is the straight-up quintet stuff where Konitz has pretty much the whole show. Some of his strongest/most striking playing ever, imo. He's in that zone.

Yes, Real Audio (does anybody still use that family for audio anymore?) ...will check out Audacity when I get home. Thanks for the tip!

and for the Full Tammi, let's go to 1967:

I feel that way myself about a great deal of her later work, actually...not nearly as enjoyable for me, too much "weightiness", often overwhelming the material. Not always, but often enough. I think she lost a lot of playfulness as the years went by, which is understandable, life being what it is and all that... But this earlier stuff, to me it's like watching a prime young Dwight Gooden pitch, where the body, mind, and spirit are all on the same page, the kid just knows they can do anything they want to, they've got the intrinsic hipness to know what to do, and they revel in their sheer ability to do it as well as what it is they're doing. Or like when Dexter would get into that zone where he felt really good & there were no obstacles...that's what this feels like to me. Plus, she's sexy as hell here! It's this type thing when I say, yeah, "Sassy" indeed!

Hell, if I had that voice and could work it like that, I think I'd feel some love for it my own self.

Ever the entertainer, that Don Cherry!

and a rhythm section of HerbieRon &...Smilin' Billy? More:

When did THIS happen?

The four of them together in their time and their place was truly magic. Apart and in a different time & place, they were still above-average talents, but...never fuck with synergy unless you're willing to live with the consequences. Then again, the first McCartney solo works and the John/Yoko wigouts are really the same as Brian Wilsons's post Smile-collapse work - music to get away from the glare, find a comfortable coccoon, and just chill the hell out for a while. God know they were entitled...George, otoh, was finally free at last, ready to step up and out. But he was not Lennon-McCartney, much less Lennon or McCartney, over the long haul. Ringo, yeah, in a lot of ways, Ringo learned how to make good pop records. You know, you put a record like McCartney up against a record like The Beach Boys' Friends and things start to make a little more sense and become a little more understandable, attractive even.. People needed time and space and...quiet, at least after the Big Bang did exactly that.
