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!

that means ?? I have one hundred twenty five thousand two hundred twenty three Blue Note recordings. I can vouch for that. He bought all my triples-and-above.

Those were on the original LPs.

There is now! For that matter, is there any link between Walter Jackson & KISS?

It's sessions (and players) like this one (and these two) that drive home how few players really got Bird. These guys did. Clarence Sharpe was another one, as was/is (in his own "man from another time" way) Charles McPherson. Plenty of people got the basic vocabulary, but few got the, for lack of a better word, "flavor", that great emotional-through-harmonic & rhythmic beauty of things being more than one thing at the same time yet still being one thing. It's the latter quality that to me is the true essence of Bird, not the licks. And these guys got that.
