So, I hate bebop and I have Milt Jackson as my main soloist. Is that what I'm hearing here? Sorry about all that counterpoint.

Better to receive than give!

Some folks don't enjoy being snooped like that, especially if they're just having you over as part of a group. Besides, I don't really care about other people's collections any more, not like that. I'm full, so to speak.

RIP and all that, but his version of *I Remember You" remains one of the more cringe-worthy items of my life. I first heard it when trying to learn it to play it when sitting in down at The Recovery Room and it was just...every kind of wrong. But yeah, RIP and all that.

Canadian Club!!?

If you were at somebody's house listening to music and you didn't get to touch an object, could you tell the difference between a file on a hard drive and the same file on a CD? In other words, remove the tactile experience (which is certainly a real thing in itself), and what have you got?

Some old discussion here:

Actually recorded for the Selmer label? But yes, I had also forgotten about that one!

There's always a shortage of bass players.

Phyllis Belgrade - Here - It's Phyllis!!! (with orchestra conducted by Almer Spootzenmacher)

They ended up with Connie Kay, so all's well that ends well.

Elka Fitzsimmons & Bounce Casey - Elka Bounces With Casey (Verne Green Label deep groove with the nose on one side). I paid $600 for this. Hope I didn't get schnookerred...

00 was OG!!!

Glad to help.

Lacy develops motifs, so bring the changes to the table with you if that's what you need.

Blaster McGee - STAND BACK!...It's Blaster!!

I think that my overall favorite in the idiom is Steve Lacy. I like them all, but my favorite might be Hocus Pocus—Book 'H' of "Practitioners Their beginning as etudes and Lacy's expansion of them really highlights the unpredictable inevitability that is imo the core of Lacy's art.

The Sonny Rollins solo album is inconsistent (surprise!!!) but the high points are quite high.

It starts here:

I'm wondering how iny mind that I've always had Oliver Nelson attached to this session as arranger. I don't see his name on the original LP, but... it's in Discogs, and maybe enenin the ZDB review? So where did his name get added? Per https://quartetrecords.com/product/last-tango-in-paris/ The successful album released in 1972 by United Artists Records was in fact a re-recording made in New York with great musicians, and a real gem in terms of sound recording. It was first released on CD in the mid-nineties by Ryko, who added to the album about 25 minutes from the original film recording in mono (Varèse Sarabande reissued this same program a few years later). For this edition, we have been fortunate to find the original 8-channel multi-tracks with the complete original film recording, made in Rome. Listening to all the material prepared by Barbieri for the film (orchestrated and conducted by Oliver Nelson)—an hour of music on 49 different tracks (of which Bertolucci used only about twenty minutes)—adds a wide perspective to this marvelous score heard for the first time in pristine stereo sound.

Again, just to listen to Ted Daniel.
