I also wonder if Basie for a while had a plan to have one "old-timer" in the trumpet section, because on the Hollywood... album (early 1967), Roy's gone, but Sweets is in. Did Sweets do the road too?

You don't understand the concept of product placement? You might be in the minority... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_placement This one was stricly non-profit, but other than that...

The opportunism of product placement.

Decide carefully, and justify your decision deeply!

Oh my... But you know, I recall reading that the New Testament band was sometimes a bit chilly to some of the old folks...didn't they used to mock Prez from time to time, things like that? And apparently, Lockjaw might not have been the "friendliest" man in the band, to the band. But he would hang w/Roy, eh? Hey, even more power to the Lock, then.

And what albums, if any, besides that Broadway/Command thing? Any live stuff floating around?

So I'm learning!

Fallico the Calico http://www.dairiki.org/HammondWiki/PeteFallico Woulda made a great early 50s Al Cohn title...

What does it mean that some of the items show "Sandbox" as the label?

Ray McKinley's post-WWII/1940s band, with plenty of good Eddie Sauter charts.

You got a Liberty reprint and if you want to go to the mat with me about TBATAT let me know. My "real Blue Note" copy (not interested in stamper numbers, etc) was vertical and the "yellow" color was darker than any reprints I've seen. Bought the Nelson disc the first day it came to the store and it was the abstract one - Ollie's pic didn't show up for a couple of years. Yeah...horizontal makes more sense to me...maybe vertical was a simple manufacturing error that they couldn't afford to recall? How long was vertical around, anyways? Is there any other example of the front cover catalog # being not horizontal? I like the color scheme of the vertical batter, though.

With my knees in the condition they're in now, I ain't goin' to the mat with nobody for nuthin', not unless there's a guaranteed lift back up...

The LP I bought in 1974 is all I've ever known & it's horizontal - and the bottom stipe on it is yellow, not gold. I'm still suspicious of that "original" cover on the "new" CD of The Blues And The Abstract Truth. Please don't confuse me again. Besides, it's not that good fo a record, not relative to other work of the time.

Oh please. I do hear it - when it's there. And to what degree it's there when it is there. If you really think that, for example, the "All God's Children..." date w/Bud Powell (highest inspiration) & At The DJ Lounge (groovy, fine club date) & So Doggone Good (competent but bland)& Come Hither (comically, cynically uninvolved) are more or less interchangeable in terms of passion & cry, then...you can't be serious.

No... "Soul Makossa" was a hit song for Manu Dubango, & spawned a slew of covers, but this album...not famous at all that I know of.

Hey, nobody's denying the advanced skill set...and that definitely commands respect, but as far as "admiration"....depends on to what use it's put, and about Stitt, I like to say that there's never any question about what he's going to play, just how he plays it. When he was fully fired up, he was a bad mofo. But, on record anyway, he was fully fired not that often. And he had a lower gear that was almost comical in just how obviously phoning it in he was. Honestly, though, if you want to talk about being "creative" or "artistry" or some such, Sonny Stitt at his very best never went to that "zone" of magic that The True Giants did, which is ok, I don't think that was even his aim anyway, ever, I'm just saying, let's give respect not only where it is due, but for what it is due as well. I saw Stitt awake from slumber on a local gig once, and what he was all about was skills, hardcore, pure and simple skills. And he them in deep abundacne. But comparing him & Art Pepper is like comparing cake to pie, or something like that. Once you get past the fact that both are desserts and that both are baked...they rapidly become two equal yet different items.

Marlena Shaw, Cadet & Blue Note albums...some good stuff to be had there!

And I can only assume that your astigmatism prevented you from noticing that this thread contains the Luciano's Luci Gets Loco Remix, not the original version contained on the other thread. Does your employer not provide vision coverage?

And I can only presume that you were too sleepy to notice that they are different versions. Care for some coffee?
