None right now, but a few weeks ago it was his solo on "Manhattan" from George Russell's New York, N.Y.. I've had this side in some form or fashion for about 35 years now, and the entry of that solo still blows me away. The rest of the solo's a gem too, but that entry, both harmonically and (especially) tonally is just... WHOA!!!! It's just one bar or so, but DAMN. When I read the anecdote about how Trane stopped the session for a little while to go off to a corner to "get his changes together", just for that one solo, and how some of the other players on the date were thinking that he was crazy or something, I just gotta laugh, because that was time well spent!

I hear ya. Between Monday Michiru and Sonny Rollins Live in London, that Sangrey is the "devil in my ear" which I would guess pleases him to no end. If y'all are happy, I'm happy. I live to serve. Also, I've been blessed to meet several people here & on Board Krypton (one of whom mostly lurks) whose generosity is nothing short of being truly angelic. They come across all sorts of obscure great recordings and share them freely. Without them and their beautiful spirits, I'd be missing out on a lot of what have come to be some of my most prized listening materials. Not because they're "rare", but because they really are that good. I'll put it this way - before the Internet in general, and this board/Board Krypton specifically, I thought I knew a lot of music. And yeah, I probably did. But I soon learned that no matter how much you already know, there's always that much more that you don't know (and that there's always somebody out there who knows about it). For me, that's been a life-changing discovery, because my "sense of certainty" (which inevitably leads to creative stagnation) is now more about "principles" and much less about "specifics". I keep finding out about people making music that appeals directly to my principles while at the same time defying my now-all-but-extinct idea of how those principles should/would/could manifest themselves. I guess what I'm trying to say is that isolation, as beautiful and necessary as it often is, can eventually kill. The Internet in general (and this board in particular) is a damn good antitdote.

Well, I pretty much already know what I like, generally, and that's not really changed all that much. But truthfully, even though I already know what I like, the folks here are constantly making me aware of new/different people doing what it is that I like. And I try to reciprocate as best as I can. What has definitely changed is how quickly I can find out that something's coming out, or is going to become available. Used to be that certain things would come and go before I heard about'em. Now, I can carpe deim like a mofo. And usually do!

Welluh, YEAH!

I got no relevant Google hits on the song titles, and nothing on AMG re:W.P. Mosely.

DUDE! The only "easy" wedding gigs are the ones where you're fully anesthetized. Might be time for another trip to the dentist... BUT FOR GOD'S SAKE, DON'T FUCK WITH THE BOARD AGAIN UNTIL AFTER THE SHIT'S ALL THE WAY WORN OFF!

That would be as brilliant as it would be sleazy.

I remember being interested in her back in the early 80s as somebody "with potential". Her evolution took her out of my sphere of immediate interest, but what I've heard from her since has always had the highest integrety. She actually did two sides for Columbia, remember? Not sure that that was a good fit, but "More Than Sinatra" from Modern Drama was/is a classic bit of very dry musical wit. And truthfully, it was the overall lack of some "sense of humor" in most of her work back then that caused me to stop following her. I should probably get back into her, because I know she can play, and I have the highest respect for her. It just seemed back then that her music didn't have too many "smiles" in it. Not that it has to be "happy" or anything like that, not at all. It just seemed a little too overtly "serious" for its own good, if you know what I mean. But I should probably reinvestigate.

Can anybody get the contract to load? All I get is another instance of the main page.

Full details here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0603131/ I wonder why The Rodriguez Brothers weren't included in this medley. "Being For The Benefit Of Mister Kite" would've been perfect!

Dick Shawn? Wow... That's better than Jack Cassidy, although for entirely different reasons.

Lyndon Johnson John Lydon Don Johnson

Forget Manson watching it, I'll bet Robert Stigwood was watching it, like Eric Burdon watched Otis Redding on Ready, Staeady, Go! Is it just me, or did Bing always sound good even when he sounded awful? Good to see Bobbie Gentry's talent being squandered. Story of her life, I guess. But she did have a voice! Was that Phyllis Newman or Ruta Lee or just who was that? She says "no', but her body language says "yes". But I say no. I couldn't afford the hospital bills. The only thing better than Robert Preston doing "A Little Help..." would have been Jack Cassidy doing it. But America was not ready for the genius of Jack Cassidy. That has always been America's fatal flaw, and America will fall from grace because of that. And that alone. And check out Englebert's eyes during "Yesterday". The eyes are the window to the soul, you know. Variety shows, why did they ever extincticize themselves? I cry tears of regret because they did.

My old inner-sleeves need reprinting. Apparently the best jazz is played without Verve!

More than twice the target number. Does this mean an increase in occurance or in participants? Either way, win-win!
