Argghh! You beat me! Bob DeVos Gene Edwards Steve Giordano Steve Jordan The Jordanaires A Fool Such As I

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?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.................... Yeah, kinda, sorta, for a little while, maybe.... But I'll take Clarence Sharpe for the block.

But if you have any of the three Blue Note 78s that were released in stereo, we'll count those. And if you have all three we'll count them as 4! But - if you have stereo copies with mono labels, they count as -137 each. Manlaw?

It's all Lester Young, really, the saxophonistic ways of altering pitch & timbre through fingerings. He did it both ways (mostly timbral, though), but it's a natural outgrowth of that to take it further and see what comes after that. The instrument itself practically begs you to, believe me. Now, as for "instinct" vs. "planned out", I know what you're getting at, but the reality is that very seldom does anybody stumble across a technique fully formed. What you hear both Jenkins & Joe doing is stuff that they both knew exactly how to do long before it got recorded.

So let's see...funding gets to be a bigger bitch every year, so you turn to formats more likely to raise local revenue, then you get your balls busted about what you do to keep the shit going. Is that about right? Tell you what - why doesn't the NEA quit bitching & put some buckage into NPR to underwrite the type of programming they'd like to see? Would that be illegal or something?

Newer rule: They've gotta be 78s or they don't count.

And he'll be doing it on Fox? I'm SHOCKED!

Don't understand what you mean by this. Please elaborate?

I went for Zambia instead.

I'm still not convinced that that's not a mis-titling or a mis-crediting of composer credits. I've listened long and hard, and damned if I hear any connection to Sam & Dave's hit, other than a very loose referencing of the rhymic outline of the horn lick.

Ah, deductive reasoning at its finest!

How's you know it was Carla?

Is it just me, or does Fruscella consistently sound like what you'd expect a junkie to sound like if you didn't know what a junkie could sound like?

Well hell, I don't really "need" the CLB set, I mean, I know what it is, I know what it's gonna sound like, and I know I'm gonna "like" it just fine, but I really don't have a need to explore this music beyond what I already know of it, not now, and probably not later. But $68.00? Hell, that's a good price for some good recreational listening, so I went on ahead & bit. I'm quite the sucker!
