Ever stop to think that maybe the chicks find the costumes as over the top as the dudes probably do? Show-bidness baby.

A spirited defense that has piqued my interest in the book. No guarantee that I'll like it, but the man has stated his case most clearly.

Sportin' a Cheryl Burke ain't nothin' to sneer at... Seriously, I've played for dancers all my professional life, and I've seen magic happen with couples on the dance floor. Not as often as I've seen tragedy, but hey... Point is, I'd like to be able to get some of that kind of magic with my wife while we're still able. I've only danced with her 3-4 time my entire life. That never used to bug me, but now it does.

I'm still not down w/the figure skating like LTB is (except during the Olympics, when it's just....there), but the notion of being able to bring to the vertical and public the magic of what we experience in the horizontal - roughly speaking - and private is really beginning to appeal to me. I've never been too graceful on my feet, and dammit, I'm sick of that. This notion that simple grace and joy are for "other types of people" (you know, the stoopid kind who don't know any better) is one which I reject with increasing forcefulness every day. That's a self-fulfilling prophecy of doom and gloom if ever there was one. Fuck that. I'm alive, in love, and not at all ready to go sit in a corner to spectate for the rest of my life. Why shouldn't I dance - and dance well - with the woman I love? Plus, she gets a glow about her when she sees really good dancing. I can tell that she'd like to experience it herself, and hell, she's done so much for me over the years that I'd like to be able to give that to her while we can both still walk erect and/or without assistance. The time when we won't be able to is probably nearer than it is farther, so.... Besides, if freakin' Jerry Springer can learn to be an at least acceptable "social dancer", then I damn sure can.

In my world, that's a fantasy...

Not sure about the date, but if I'm correct, you're leaving out a later Barron date, Motivation. That shit is sick. Will disagree about Hot Line. The repetition is what makes it for me, for it gives Andrew Cyrille the power, and the power is neither wasted nor abused.

Her Poor Dog Poor Pitiful Me A Poor Excuse For A Man

Nice! I've never seen that one in the middle. Now if you can find the late-60's gatefold PJ "Jazz Milestones" version, that would be extra sweet!

Don't you mean "pie eye"?

Found the LP back in the '70s, got hooked immediately & lastingly. The CD is even mo' better.

Yeah, I watched Dancing With The Stars. Didn't follow all the hoopla, but watched the show (LTB likes watching dancing, and I like spending time with her now more than ever) and enjoyed it. Sue me. We are going to take dancing lessons at some point in our life. Anyway, Emmitt was an inspiration, as was, believe it or not, Jerry Springer. Even if Mario was the best dancer (and he was).

Nobody's heard Living Time?

4 albums for Discovery featuring the "Orchestra Of The '80s".

Thank you for the clarification!

Well, Jackie was always gigging (even w/his habit), or so it seemed. Jenkins? Not so sure. Even if you practicce constantly (and if you have a habit - if Jenkins did have one at the time, which I don't even know - you're not going to be practicing constantly unless you're a special kind of freak), I don't have to tell you that there's no substitute for regular gigging when it comes to honing those instincts. So I don't know if Jenkins' bag was as much "tempermental" as it was "circumstantial". No matter, the cat definitely was an intersting player!

I think so, yeah, if only because altoists were on Bird's tip the way that tenorists were on Prez', at least for a while. But Bird did it too (as did Louis Jordan, Pete Brown, & a bunch of other pre-bop altoists), and as much as I hate to admit it, a saxophone is ultimately a saxophone, alto or tenor or whatever. Just goes to show you how much "there" there was in Bird. And in Prez.

You're on thin ice there, dude... Sorry, the class clown in me once again betrays me. Please accept my apologies. Ummm....Greg....uh....it's Clifford Thornton you should be apologizing to, not Moose... ("thin" ice. Get it? )

He plays one (memorable, I think) solo on "I Got It Bad" from Archie Shepp's For Losers (also to be had in this compilation ), and is on the Clifford Jordan Big Band Mapleshade side.

Best Ritchie Cole critique I ever read was from Down Beat, sometimes in the 70s. reviewing a festival gig somewhere. Don't remember the exact quote (or who wrote it), but it was something like "Warmed over third-generation bebop is an acquired taste, one I've yet to acquire." Great line, and one I've used for any number of things...

George Jefferson Weezie Weizen I've been holding this in for a long time, but.... For the record, "weizen" is pronounced with a "Germanic" v as the first letter. So it's "veiss-en". All the "Weezie" jokes are embarassing! So.... Vice President Vice Admiral Vice Squad

Exactly right. But if the NEA has a beef, what's to allow them from ponying up some bread to create programming that addresses their concerns? Is that not allowed?
