Dude, there's too much to mention! Check it out: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&a...961o3ep7~1~T40B Seven pages, and you're into 1970 on page two. Even allowing for AMG's quirky dating system (who among us has heard that 1918 RCA date? ), that's a helluva lot of music made after 1969. Dive in!

That's why they called him Lucky...

Has Motivation been on CD? That one is just nuts!

Real men use 45s.

Seriously, consider this - Pretend that you're a 2 yr old kid. All your live you've been loved and told that you're special (all of which is true). But you've always been dependent, and there's always been boundaries that you can't cross just becuase you don't have the chops to cross them. Well, now you do. You don't yet understand why you shouldn't do something, simply because you have no point of reference. Fuck up the furniture? Sure, why not? You don't know why that's bad, you just know that it's something that you can do all by yourself. And that first rush of freedom & independence after having spent literally an entire lifetime not just not being able to do it, but not even knowing that you can do it, hey, that's gotta be a huge freakin' rush. As ar as you can tell, based on your life experience, there's nothing you can't or shouldn't do. After all, you're loved and you're special, and dammit, you're going to maximize every possible opportunity to do something, anything, just because you finally can. It's a pattern that we all repeat throughout our life, whether it be our first bike, our first car, our first appartment, our first house, our first good job, our first anything that frees us up more than we were before. And the sooner that we learn that with freedom comes responsibility, that actions have consequesnces, that cause and effect is not just a scientific concept but instead is a necessary survival skill, and that most importantly, discipline is rooted in a deep love & not angry revenge, the sooner we hopefully get on track to having as happy and fulfilling a life as is possible. That's a huge part of what parenting is about. It's a tough gig, sometimes the gig from hell, but that is the gig. Just remember to do what you gotta do, to always do it out of love, and that no matter how immediate any situation may appear at the moment, you're actually planting seed that will inescapably gome to fruition later on. Enjoy the gig!

Jim is really Ravi Shankar?

And later in the 60s there was Bob Porter, Cal Lampley, & Don Schlitten. Schlitten might seem like a logical choice, but not necessarily. YEah, he produced Breakthrough on Cobblestone, but that was technically by Artistry In Music, a gorup co-led by Hank & Cedar Walton, with whom Schlitten definitely had a history. Hank had a contract w/BN in the 60s, the label gave him plenty of sidemen dates, so I don't know that he would be somebody to get those type calls from another label. It would be easier to get somebody else who was eitehr not contracted at all, or was contracted w/the same label. After all, that's what BN did.

Prestige's Bob Weinstock might have been that one. Mobley recorded quite a number of session for Prestige in the late '5Os. Besides his two leaders dates, there were the following albums he took part in: - Elmo Hope 'Informal Jazz' - Jackie McLean '4, 5 and 6' - Tenor Conclave - Art Farmer 'Farmer's Market' - All Night Long Yeah, but how many Prestige sessions was Weinstock producing in the 60s?

That's a good strong rec!

That's wrong, Dude. Love for your kids should be unconditional. The title might take ona new meaning, though, if Zora's eaten a lot of carrots...

You mean you weren't spraying Ready Whip all over the house in an attempt to get that Herb Albert vibe going?

Geez, we've gotten heated here... Music is music, sociology is sociology and always the twain shall meet in everyday life. In books, though, I'm a little disturbed by the trend towards making the music about the sociology. God knows that's been the way it's went down more than a few times (and going back a loooong way), but although social forces can certainly stimulate the creation of music, they don't actually create it. That falls to the work of individuals who are, at their best, creative folk with tools and gifts that they'd have no matter what the stimuli. This tends to be downplayed these days, just as it was overplayed in the days when everybody was considered Mysitcal Supermortals. There weren't but a few of those. But let's not pretend that there weren't any, that they were all just responding to the forces of society. That's not an adequate explanation... I guess for me the "truth" lies somewhere in between these two poles. As usual.

Specifically, off of Waltz Of A Ghetto Fly. Sounds like he's got something going on. Barring a barrage of NO NO STAY AWAY HE SUCKS, I think I might exploritize. Might even do so anyways...

Seriously, have you thought about having her clean it up? Not in a mean, vindictive way, but in a "oh my, somebody needs to clean this up. I think it's yours, uh, you wanna get it?" kinda way that leaves little room for interpretation. Cause and effect - one of the life lessons too often avoided these days...

Sounds like she's got a career as an Evil Easter Bunny ahead of her.

Isn't that Mop Mop spelled backwards? Haven't heard it, what kind of a tune is it?

It's also not a one-word-repeated-twice song title. But that went out the window pretty much from the git-go, didn't it...

I think we can all retire "WTF?!?!?!", , . , & now. That's gotta be the ultimate example.

This is the beginning of her declaration of independence, and it's going to last for quite a long while. You job as parents begins to shift from caregiver to direction provider right now. Tough pill to swallow for many parents, but the sooner you accept that she's never going to be totally dependent on you ever again (barring some horrible accident), the sooner you can get on with the business of incrementally getting her ready for an adulthood full of love, common sense, and good values, which is, really, the true job of parenting. Exerting direct control instead of steering them in the right direction becomes increasingly counter-productive as the years pass, and the smoother you can make the transition (and the sooner you can begin to safely & wisely make it), the better. This is all hindsight, though. Keep in mind that this might be a lesson learned after the fact for me...

I've had an LP dub of this one for a few years now, & it's a pretty downhome affair. Kenny Davern is a gas!

Hank had a contract w/Blue Note and was considered "hip" but not "cutting edge" in the 60s by the "industry". The fact that most of his non-leader work outside of BN was in the 50s may or may not mean something. Consider this -where else beside BN would you think that he would turn up? What producer other than Lion do you think would have been prone to using him as a sideman other than Lion?
