Cornelius Bumpus The Defiant Ones Those Who Also Sit And Wait

Thanks. Was either he or the same "bad" money behind the ALA label that followed immediately thereafter, the one that reissued all the Charlie Parker label stuff?

Yeah, me too. Amazing indeed, especially if Stockhausen's daughters are faboolus babes!

Try naming three people. It'll make the time fly by like snails in an iceberg!

My Alamac's just fine too. That was a fun label. Who was behind it?

No, then blue silk, Carlise!

Yep, I think so too.

Well. I only have Blue Ballads, and I don't know about immediately, but if you're on a Shepp kick, then sooner than later would be advisable. It's gorgeous.

WHOA!!!

Dude, if I could catch a scene like that, I would be totally...er...uh....gobsmacked. I think. And let me tell you this - if you're single, find you a woman who willingly gets funky to Dexter Gordon on the dance floor. If she's not drugged out or anything, you can probably have a very happy private life, if you know what I mean. Americans the world over are drooling at the notion, trust me. You got it right in your hood. Carpe diem!

Well, ok then, be that way. Just ordered. Hopefully in by mid-week or so. I gotta stop getting into this Japanese shit. Them CDs is SPENSIVE!!!!! !

I couldn't agree more!

Understood, really. You get the same thing w/the "Funky 45s" thing - some real gems, some things that are amature in the extreme, and some that are just mediocre. They all got that groove, and if that's all you want, hey, good for you. But me, I like some food with my sauce, if you know what I mean... Then again, I'm more and more looking at it like hey - the shit's getting inside you, making you feel good, making you want to celebrate life rather than destroy it, turning you towards the light instead of the dark, so exactly what are you not getting? If we gotta save the world through the feet first, so be it. Free your mind and your ass will follow might've worked back in the day, but shit's gotten so perverted over the last 25 or so years that today the opposite route might be in order. I dunno... What I do know is that I think I'm gonna check me out some Bembe Segue pretty soon!

Bembe Segue (she): http://www.myspace.com/bembesegue http://www.nowtoronto.com/issues/2006-07-06/cover_story.php http://www.discogs.com/artist/Bembe+Segue Well, alright then!

Pharoah's a "guest", so I'd not expect him to be on every cut. As for Bembe Segue, he/she(?) appears to be a vocalist based on THIS AMG ENTRY. Genre/Syles are listed as Electronica, Club/Dance, & Broken Beat. So maybe "club jazz" is code for Trane-ish stuff you can dance to in a club and not feel like an idiot (unless you feel like an idiot just dancing period). Not necessarily a bad thing at all, not in these days and times... Suddenly the whole deal just got a little more interesting to me!

Modal and/or post-hardbop stuff, sometimes w/percussion added, and/or sometimes w/populist-funk underpinnings, and/or sometimes w/singers & lyrics with a spiritual and/or Black Nationalist slant. Any number of Strata-East sides qualify, as does Harry Whitaker's Black Renaissance, which may well be the epitome of what they mean when they use the word.

http://www.dustygroove.com/newgroovescd2.htm#422862 So, never mind that DG loves jazz shit with samples and "heavy-handed" rhythms (and have helped me, through their copious offerings of same, to develop an appreciation/affection for the best of same!), what are we looking at here when they say "club jazz"? "Spiritual" is a code word of theirs that I've long since decoded, but this is a new one afaict! No matter, Pharoah glowing in the genius of his own bright light, spreading forth in waves of soul and sound that are tremendous from the first note of the album to the last is damn near enough for me all by itself! !

That looks kinda orange to me. Not quite red, but not quite orange either. Should have called it Kind Of Red, put it together with Birth Of The Cool retitled Kind Of White, and put them both out together with Kind Of Blue as MILES! The I LOVE AMERICA Trilogy. And they wonder why jazz doesn't sell.

Thad Jones Pops, for whom Thad wrote a suite Pops Poopadeaux, for whom the toilet ball trolls

Absolutely! And as far as the negative of the dancers not fully appreciating the music, hell, I know plenty people who sit still and listen who don't really appreciate what it is they're hearing either, so AFAIC, that's a wash... Bottom line for me - I don't trust anybody who doesn't at least feel the urge to dance. I don't think it's either natural or healthy to not feel that. And I really don't trust people who don't dance but turn up their nose at the act and those who do. Something deeply wrong about that... It's good, natural, and healthy to feel the urge to dance. So why not do it to some good Soul Jazz?

So that's where the $20.00 that Kristina left out on the kitchen counter went!

I hear that Debby Boone needs a place to rehearse, so...

They used it on the US LP too. Made the orange a little redder on my later (1970s) copy, although I think I've seen older issues that actually were orange.
