I wonder if Hackett was the connection that brought Carle's "Sunrise Serenade" to the Miller band?

Frankie Carle? For real? My dad was a big Frankie Carle fan, had a big bunch of his 1950s RCA albums, but it was all cocktail/society stuff. But here he is playing jazz w/Bobby Hackett. Interesting!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002GEV3V...5698&sr=8-1 (and yes, that is using the O-Link) It's got everything a Summer Song Of Any Year should have - great dance/party groove, infectious musicality, triumphant lyrics about not letting shit get you down including about "when your credit's jacked up"), hand claps, penetrating soulful voice, sounds good on the road, at the beach, in the house, or out on/in the street, hell, it's got EVERYTHING. Production by, I think, Daz-I-Cue of the great Bugz In The Attic collective, Broken Beat meets Second Line, how can you lose? YOU CAN'T! 99 cents y'all. Hot fun in the summertime, gotta be 2009. Carpe diem, play it loud and play it often.

no, but they haven't done that in the past, at least not in my experience.

Understood in a lot of ways, but...a cemetery can also stand as a living memorial (yeah, I know...) to a time, a place, a culture, that might otherwise be forgotten. In the case of African-Americans, you're talking about a people who can often trace their ancestry back but only a relatively few generations. If/whem you definle, destroy, whatever, even that connection, you're further abstracting the notion of "rootedness", a notion that has been hard-fought for and hard won. And of course, that's true to one extent or another for all cultures. Something about knowing that the bodies of the people you hear stories about are "there" adds a resonance that storytelling, history, mythology, etc. alone just don't carry, especially as time passes. Legen is one thing, but a burial plot, headstone, etc is a lot more...real for those in the here and now. In Dallas, the old Freedman's park was the focus of a not-uncontentious battle as "progress" threatened to wipe out the last vestiges of a people whose presence was under threat enough while alive... http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry...t/freedcem.html The line "Beginning in 1989 representatives of the community worked with the City of Dallas and the Texas Department of Transportation to preserve the historic Freedman's Cemetery site prior to highway expansion." is very....uh...polite.

That cola ad...

Somebody told me that the remains of Willie Dixon were also among the victims here (i guess that's how you'd put it...). Can anybody confirm or deny?

Nope. But the Musicians Performance Trust Fund came out of the 1948 strike. History: http://www.musicpf.org/AboutUs2.html How the MPTF gives back to the community: http://www.musicpf.org/index.php Musicians only get paid scale for all these gigs, and of course there's ""politics" involved, but... it gets live music to all kinds of people to whom it might not otherwise get to.

UH-oh... Just checked by bank...Oldies.com only charged for a little over half of the original total...

If you got some mad money and feel like using it, check out some of the other Teo offerings from CD Baby. Some good stuff in there.

Or else get high as a mf and listen to the sounds in your head. :g :g Legally of course! What if the sounds in your head while high are an amalgamation of The Carpenters and Guy Lombardo? then you go with that and make it what you need it to be!

Monday Michiru turned me out a few years ago, and I ain't comin' back, that's all I gotta say. The zombie woke up and gladly comitted suicide. Good will always be good, and old will always be old. It's important that we recognizr both of those points and proceed accordingly by not conflating the two in order to serve our own "personal needs". Art Blakey, for example, will always be great, but it ain't ever gonna be 1959 again either. I'm at peace with both of those realities, so...when I need great, I can always go to Art Blakey. And when I need 2009, I can go elsewhere. And when I need to contrast and compare, I can go both palces at once and find etrnal verities. But I don't need (any longer) to look for "now" in "then", becuase sooner or later, god willing, you do wake up and realize that what Lee Morgan "meant" in 1969 & 2009 are at best only somewhat the same thing. And that if "jazz" in 2009 does not mean the same thing in 2009 as it did in 1969, then that's ok...I don't need jazz just because it's "jazz", dig? I need the truth of the now just as much as i need the truth of forever, and i'll find it where it is, not where i think it should be. And that, dear friends, is a challenge! Ok, that's all I gotta say.

Beside Kellaway, there is Al Chernet on banjo, Harvey Phillips on tuba and Ronnie Bedord on drums. Marshall Brown is credited with the arrangements. Ok, that's just wack! gotta get that Colelctables 2-fer... would get the vinyl, but a good Hackett MOR session is...not the worst of fates to encounter.

Oh yeah, absolutely...him & Rudd both...I just didn't know that he had made a side on Epic with Bobby Hackett in 1964...post-Prestige. post-Lacy/Rudd/Nichols hangouts...the date (and the label!) seems kind of jarring to me, that's all, not the notion itself.

say WHAAAAT? One copy is currently being offered on eBay Steve Lacy is on soprano, Roger Kellaway on piano... oh my! who else rounds out the rhythm section? This is getting interesting...
