I'll go Percy France on #12, but with what group if so, I have no idea.

Beat Lewishonitz - My Cat Thinks I'm A Dog...And I Probably Am...

Now there was the voice of a generation! Attitude out the ass, honest hard attitude, captured perfectly by Shadow Morton. I remain a fan, because adults are still fucking things up for young people. Otoh, you think they'd have figured out how to stop us by now.

Wow. Kickers.

Oma Gooma - Riffin' & Riggin'!!!

That's beautiful. Truly. Never heard of him, but there's these: https://www.discogs.com/artist/554166-Rod-Lumpkin https://www.linkedin.com/in/rod-lumpkin-331b6520 And check this out! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pheeroan_akLaff

I think that #13 is Charles Williams?

Honk Wilcox - Honk Plays Hank!!!

I preferred the Packets. Oh well.ets go Lions,!!?

What kind of reviews was Cadence giving him then? And who were the reviewers?

Which is?

Baltimore playing some very strong non-crazy football.

There can be art in anything, including creating, designing, and sustaining a "magazine". So the placement of the thread is correct imo. What I've heard about the man's "complicated" behavior is not at all complicated, it's quite repulsive. But that is the artist, not the art. Hopefully.

"most people" is an assumption that may be rooted in not paying attention to changing realities. It was 1986-1987 before RCA began reissuing Rollins in earnest. That was a lot of time for the narrative about the 50s material to take root, even though they weren't all gems. But the 60s were huge for Rollins creatively, and people are figuring this out. Still. My Milestone overview thread is still coming. I know that "most people" don't prefer that stuff. I don't either. But I still like it, listen to it often. and hear in it a continuation of the ongoing Rollins arc in terms of tenor playing. In terms of record making, maybe not so much. But in terms of tenor playing, if you don't know (or get) 60s Rollins, you really might be lost by what came later. Taste is indeed subjective but the realities/specifics of music are not.

Damn. She did some really good (and diverse) work. Great tools and taste to go with them. RIP

Most old farts yeah, the same type who "prefer" (i.e. understand) Max Roach with Clifford Brown. There is so much more. Meaningfully more. All the way thru to the end. But let's at least dispel the myth that 50s Sonny is what "most people" still like here in 2024. Once the RCA material finally got general circulation (and it lay out of reach in any meaningful way for literally decades), a LOT of people fell in love with it. And why not? In terms of sheer fluency and fearless spontaneity, it's some sort of apex.

Pretty chilly here for the next week or so. Below freezing at night, slightly over during the day. Seasonally appropriate, more or less.

Brancher Clomire - Personal Repair

Evilbowl - Slurp It!!!

It's a very good record, and it's not the only one!
