  1. And dying while doing it in your sleep seems the best of all!
  2. Moon came and went a while ago. But those two Sonny In Denmark sides are...essential. For real. But steal 'em, don't buy!
  3. I hate being used that way. It's not you, it's the generic you. But if you were agreeing with me about Ricky Wellman, then I take it all back! Just that a lot of folks who don't like later Miles don't even get what's going on, like using Ricky Wellman, this guy really was/is a god in his own realm, and Miles very much wanted that feel because it swung. I hear charges of "lame funk" and such, and I gotta think that people don't know what it is they're hearing, they only know what they think they're hearing, and they got no reference to put it up against. Again, not you specifically, but I gotta stand up for Ricky Wellman, I damn sure do.
  4. Chuck Brown - The Party Roll NO DISRESPECT ALLOWED!!!
  5. You think I'm kidding about Ricky Wellman? I'm not. Ricky Wellman is the GOD of go-go. Ricky Wellman could make a dead man dance. Ricky Wellman is the reason why you can listen to a 45 minute Chuck Brown jam and not even begin to feel groove fatigue. Of course, I use "you" in the generic sense...
  6. Chuck Findley, iirc. A Californian. Which to a New Yorker probably is foreign!
  7. Miles' playing aside, those bands of the 90s were about the best instrumental pop-jazz bands that anybody's ever led. So much attention to color, texture, variety, pacing, etc. Really masterful bandleading by Miles even after his chops began to falter. The countless bootlegs show this better than the albums, but in truth, the only later albums I would consider "disposable" are Dingo & that Montreau thing. And hey - ain't nobody got no love for Ricky Wellman? C'MON!!!
  8. Them's not Moon, them's Gambit!
  9. Check out husband Alex Sipaigin's take on Monday's "Sketches Of Myself" (from his own album Out of the Circle) on Monday's MySpace Page: http://www.myspace.com/mondaymichirumusic Last tune on the player... I still prefer Monday's original (the closing tune on the Japanese version of Routes), it's more orgaic in arrangement, but this version shows the room for these songs to move outside of their original realm as vehicles for new and varied presentations of something fresh and vital.

  12. Found this: Here: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/natlib/ihas/warehous...003721/0001.pdf That sure looks like the gig, but no guitar listed...hmmm
  13. What did he have to eat?

    Yeah, economics of scale.
  15. Nowhere Man Michelle The First Lady Of Soul
  16. Chet Huntley Chet Kincaid Chet Atkins
  17. Although I think it will be pretty safe from here on out...
  18. http://www.dustygroove.com/browse.php?labe...&format=all P-Vine has issued some... Other than that...you can go fishing...shad make excellent bait...

    Evidence was a legit label. Gambit...notoriously Andorran.
  20. Pretty much looks totally bogus to me...
  21. He was signifyin'! Basically, I think he was pretty much telling Jackson to fuck off. There was allegedly no love at all between those two back then, remember.
  22. But she has come up with a rather personal solution to the age-old problem of what to do with your hands when not playing!
