So, what happened to Paul Desmond's tune?

Good, fair, and true points. But... The game-losing interception was not thrown while BleedSoul was under particularly heavy pressure. Now, you can say that he had been under so much pressure all day that he might not have been able to find his zone. And you may well be right. But I'll counter that a "champion" caliber player carpe diems in a situation like that and doesn't throw that interception. And I may well be right. And then we mambo!

Yep. Again.

That's because you only die once.

I have the LP, and I gotta tell you - it's for completists only, imo. Mingus during his "medicated" period, and nothing really special happens.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck couldn't chuck wood but gave it his all anyway, bless his little heart?

WTF?

Give it to Pixar and have Ralph Bakshi direct it. Then we could have some fun.

How many birthday threads should one look for in a reasonably well-tailored birthday suit?

Yeah, the two cuts w/Mike Deasy are dispensible. No doubt. But the rest of it ranges from good to great, I think. Mostly great, if you ask me. There's likely to be more and/or unedited material. Same, only moreso. with the aforementioned The {rice You Got To Pay To Be Free, which is another one that deserves to be heard.

Cicely Tyson!

Did they call her Petrie because she was such a dish?

I still think you got Griff on there.

That one is a magnificent little composition for orchestra that loses something essential when reduced to a blowing vehicle. It also helps none that almost everybody plays it just a little faster than Duke did. But Duke's tempo really allowed for the inner sax voicings (which are really pretty off-the-wall - and Gonsalves is playing lead!) to speak, and if you don't have those in there, why bother? Or so they seem to think...

Haven't heard that one (but certainly would like to!), but have come across a Konnex side from 1982 called Alpharian that is certainly worthy. Gaynair's conception (& technique) had fully matured by this point, and the results are not to be trifled with.

No doubt. Exactly the feelings I had when I got the album... Maybe that's cause its one of the seminal mid-50s original hard bop dates, not a retread of a tiring formula? Dan shoots and scores!
