How about defending Rhapsody In Blue on musical grounds? As in, ok, it's not a "a pastiche of empty musical gestures, fun and dynamic at times, but shallow and musically all surface". State your case "It's popular" is sociology, not music. Music that is very popular is quite often very bad, and I like a good amount of it. Not this one, though!

Ok, I disagree with you and I am doctrinaire. Yep.

We've been hearing from non-musician whites talking about "jazz" for about a century now and the results have been, shall we say, mixed. At best. Everybody's entitled to their opinion, but an ignorant opinion is still ignorant.

Works on my phone and has the crispy clean look of modern dissimilarity!

He was Lois' older brother, right? But seriously, those are two great sessions. When the came out with the extra Africa Brass cuts, it was major, because the original album just had those three cuts. Fleshing out the whole thing like that...wow. Ole kind of took a back seat for me for a little while, but that was wrong and I got over it.

Whatever happened to Georg Lane?

Alpha and Omega, right there. All this other stuff is criticspeak of varying relevance, but in light of this fundamental truth, too much icing on a really bad cake.

I sure like how Junior Cook plays "Detour Ahead".

L'il Bop - Bouncin'

1950 white pop singing...this was not the norm, correct?

"clearer" is hardly an acceptable scientific qualifier, but yes, the Muse CD seems to be easier to hear the individual definitions of the instruments. For me anyway. It's like a light fog was lifted. Interestingly(?), the Muse alternates seem to have some audio inconsistencies not dissimilar to the 32 Jazz release.

The Muse CD, with additional alternates of four of the six tunes, almost like getting two versions of the same album! Plus, it seems that this one sounds clearer than the 32 Jazz version. Might be my imagination. Or not.

Cancun Willie - Steepin' The Tea!!!

I'd like to know why it has remained inside for so long.

Is that Getz sitting in with a George Wein group? Bud, Braff, and Pee Wee?

That's a damn good record.

Mine has what I assume to be the original booklet, scaled down.

This, pretty much.

Conte Candoli being the Count and Rush Street being a reference to Chicago, composer Bill Russo's home town and the city where the session was recorded.
