Between Bird & Bud, you can learn pretty much everything there is to know so far, as well as how to set about finding the rest of it...

Some Desmond (marketed as Brubeck)...think there was also some Pacific Jazz & Kimberly material here and there..a Mulligan cut or two..some Bud Shank...don't recall what else, if anything...

Dude, it's incredibly cheap-ass champagne. "Proceed with caution" is an extereme redundancy. Remember the holiday-season commercials with the duck-as-anchorman? Howard The Duck didn't have shit on Andre Cold Duck. Now, Champale, there's a lifestyle accessory!

But if you drink enough of it...

It will go cold. That's all,

nah, I'd focus on the business. Have a them, stick to it, and if he wants to wander off-script, let him. Just be ready to follow and get him back on the road eventually, if you can. You know, they released a lot of material from Fantasy (licensed, I assume), especially the Brubeck stuff. It might be interesting to find out how that came about, I don't think I've ever seen that addressed. btw, you're welcome!

I'd think it was definitely him, or a relative. If they don't want to talk to you, they won't. And if they do, they will. Only one way to find out. My sentimental fave would be the Brubeck w/Perfume Counter & Angel Eyes by some off-brand quartet. That was the very first jazz record I ever bought. Otherwise, I really like that Tribute to Woody Herman side w/Don Lanphere, Eddie Costa, John LaPorta, etc. That shit is just plain GOOD.

Huh. I grew up as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, but no pastor I heard preached with that level of intensity. Nor did I. But my father (born 1918 & raised in Sterling, Illinois, which had a strong MS contingent)) often talked about who a stirring speaker the pastor in his home church was. I'm thinking that maybe this is the type of thing he was hearing, and like I said, understanding of a lot of things about him fell into a much better focus after hearing that sermon.

Too much reverb on a front-line L.A. pop record from between 1965 &1967? By definition, impossible.

Right, the music is mostly a matter of record. You want to look at the actual business end of the label, and that is a very good idea, I think. Not exactly something that has been over-documented in the annals of music journalism. I definitely/still say go for it. Take your time, get your shit totally together, think of what and how you would want to see it laid out if you were reading or hearing it, ask questions for which the answers will help to lay out & advance a story,and then see if you can get the call through.

I'll give Lou Adler as much credit as anybody, probably more, but those records just had a certain soaring quality then that was part of the whole Spector/Wilson/California sound-as-message thing.

I would disagree with that.

Not so much Jasmine Tree, but very much so on Space. The latter is the one I like to pull on "modernists" who insist that they don't like the MJQ. If they get through that one w/o liking it, then I believe them.
