The most interesting brother-pitcher combo since Dizzy & Daffy. Maybe the only one.

'79 was the first year for the "Rainbow" series. Prior to that, there were the 2-fers. '78 was the last year for those, with the releases that had the slick covers instead of the rough ones.

Yeah, 1979 for the LT release. 1980 for the LT Etcetera (which unlike its Japanese counterpart was bereeft of "The Collector"). Don't know how this corresponds to Japanese release dates.

YAW HEE!!!

So waht. you're telling me that this is an intentional act? I always thought is was just something put in to somehow evade spam filters or something. This is real, intentional poetry? Really? I'm serious and had no idea.

Joe Milaazzo hipped me to the Hardee B&B session, and it's most worthy. I've yet to hear a side on this label that was less than pretty damn good. It's times like this when I wish I had big bucks (or no conscience about running up credit card debt), because I would buy every one of these puppies.

Absolutely! I once took "Blues For New Orleans" to a Quartet Out rehearsal for recreational listening, and I tell you - it moved the whole bunch in a way I'd have never suspected. Out of nowhere, Dennis started dancing with his wife , Lyles started screaming encouragement to the bass player , & Pete was babbling shit about how if everybody could play alto like Hodges, it wouldn't be such a loser's horn. : Myself, I was just taking it all in, and thinking that if there's ever been a better example of the Ellington sax section's mojo on record, I've yet to hear it. Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. Very highly recommended.

Well, unless Dave Strauss has a proclivity for cashing checks made out to somebody else, and is in the habit of sending packages with that same name & address on the return address label, then what we have hear is a case of mistaken identity. Either that or else this Dave Strauss cat is a really slippery SOB. Not saying that you & Clem shouldn't go ahead and duke it out, just do it straight up, please.

YO!

Your gust, however, leaves something to be desired...

I have had actual cashcheckmoneyorder transactions with Clem, and his name is not neither Dave nor Strauss. So let's move on about that.

Who am I going to believe - a resume or my ears? Besides - "playing in R&B bands" don't necessarily mean shit, especially in the South. For everybody who's used that as a training ground/stepping stone/whatever, ther's been somebody for whom it was the best gig they could ever hope for, because playing little doobie-doop background licks stretched their limitations almost to the breaking point. Trust me on this one, I've spent more than a few years around that scene up close and very personal. Beautiful people & beautiful times, but the"talent level" varies extremely wildly. You got horn players playing with "name acts" (especially on the chitlin' circuit) who can't play shit. And you got some baaaaaaaaaaaad motherfuckers standing right next to 'em night after night. It's that kind of world, and I do know it well. Plenty of "romance" about "free jazz", plenty of projections of fantasies, both heroic & escapist, plenty of "nurses" looking for patients to heal, plentyof wanting to champion a cause just to have something to champion that's not totally slimey, and more than a little wearing of the music as a badge of "nonconformity". But that's all from the outside. From the inside, it's like anything else - if you want to make something worthwhile, it takes work, hard work, dedication, and a refusal to bullshit yourself. And like anything else, there's guys who get over on the strength of the spirit overcoming the flesh. And like anything else, there's guys whose accepted presence has much less to do with ability or spirit than the fact that everybody loves a clown.
