On his Prestige date?

So in the battle of Old New England vs Old New York (yet another variant!), this is one vote for Old New England?

Of course, any variation is allowable, especially New York vs Old England...

'Tis the season!

My favorite Jimmy Heath album is The Gap Sealer (Cobblestone).

Not any more, but not any less either? Yeah, I saw that one, but that's not the pocket I was talking about. That's a different pocket on that second one. That first one is one that swings like a mofo, but you don't hear jazz (or any other type) players going there, never have. really, and now.... But you can sure tell the ones who know it! Also not in that pocket, 17 years later, and plenty high on the Showbiz-O-Meter, but drop-dead gorgeous:

Yeah, especially the one about how sad he was for football season to be over...

What about the owners of the original material? 50 Year Rule?

Not really a surprise for those in Dallas who remember when he "accidentally fell asleep" in his car with the motor running & his favorite song playing... That and his lack of real "football fire" while playing here made many question whether or not the deck he was playing with was indeed a "full" one. Although to be fair, most of the talk was just that he was a flake, not that he was actually mentally ill. But something like this is not wholly unex[ected news.

I've read more than one report over the years that refers to him as "a joke" and stuff like that, and I've heard some live jams he's on where his time is just all over the place, but then you hear him with Nat, and he's cool. I can't imagine him having Nat's gig if he was as much of a loser as some portray him as. I bet there's a story there...

Showbiz is indeed wonderful, but not as much as that phrasing... That second chorus where she settles in and just drops one line at a time with no hurry to either begin or end, just puts it right where we all know it needs to be w/o even appearing to think about it, my god, that is artistry of the highest level.

Yessir, I reckon it is.

CDs? For THIS type stuff? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! As has been discussed in passing over the years, "Classic Gospel" & "Reissued on CD" are two phrases that overall just do not belong together. But, here's two that should be available w/o too much trouble: But you need to know that there is sooooooooooo much more.....

As a Useful Generality, Jarrett-bashing is ok with me. But when you break it down on a case-by-case basis, it's nowhere near that simple or easy. I know life is short, better/more interesting choices, etc. I know. But. That's all I'm sayin'.

Yeah, that whole "relaxed tight end" thing must be a bitch of a balancing act to pull off.

...firsthand experience.

Ooooh...subtext-ty!

"...Perfume Counter" was a live 4tet cut (and a dandy one, only my second exposure to lenghty improvisations that weren't rock "jamming". The first was The Mothers "Little House I Used To Live In" from Burnt Weenie Sandwich (and boy, in retrospect, that band and that album - along with a few otehr tings - in particular came along at just the right time to facilitate the transition from rock to jazz for me), but "Sacre Blue"(sp?) I later found out, was from a Paul Desmond Fantasy date w/Don Elliot on mellophone. The other Brubeck cut on that Crown thing was some "cute" variant of "For Dancers Only" with Desmond and either a bassoon or Brubeck on some weird squueze-y sounding keyboard or soemthing. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

Maybe it was a very early 70s front cover, but this was it.
