Yo' Momma! The J.A.M.Fs Oedipus

I want a blue suit like that.

"That violinist" was Billy Bang, iirc. And Billy Bang can play.

HA!

...they looked as goofy as they sounded! Brighter Side Of Darkness my ass. This is about as dark as the 70s ever got.

Bess Porgy Sportin' Life

Wayne was, however. Chcik Corea plays marimba, drums and percussion; Ron Carter plays mostly cello; & Dave Holland also plays acoustic guitar. Chick and Jack are also co-drummers on Super Nova. The group for Jack to have switched out on would have been Charles Lloyd's, when Keith jumped up and in on soprano.

FM radio took forever to catch on too, at least in America. but it finally did. Wonder if digital Radio will follow the same path?

Hope he's doing late shows!

Details, details (but that's our job, right? ) So, you mean to tell me if Buddy Bolden recorded it, but it isn't going to be released until 2007 (when Uptown gets ahold of it), then he still wouldn't get credit for being the first... ? I'm so confused. Well, if you want the true first recording of it, then that's probably the tape of Tommy Wolf doing it (at the Crystal Palace in St. Louis) that George Shearing passed around.

Threadgill's touring IHOPs now? WAAAAY cool!

Did they dance? That would settle it if they did.

The Berenstain Bears The Chicago Bears Dit-KAH

I once toured with a drummer who was into group sex with women of this type build. Every town we went to, he was easily able to find "companionship". The fact that he was hung like a donkey combined with the loneliness that many of these women probably incurred in their daily sex life pretty much guaranteed that he was always occupied. The thing was, he took pictures. Lots of pictures. And he liked to show the pictures to us. All of them. Please, no more pictures.

What were the other three?

We've got Brownie confirming the recording date! What was the release date? The BSN site usually goes by release date. It's possible that Fran Landesman (or whoever created the content for her website) doesn't even know who first recorded her most famous song! But I love how the song was at first perceived as "off-beat". Shows you what the overall clime of the times was. Dobie Gillis & Peter Gunn were still a few years away...

You'll be trippin'! Ten Years Hence - a good-to-great 70s live album on Atlantic. "Yusef's Mood" is a freakin' encylopedia of R&B tenor, and then some. Sorry, LP only, I believe. Yusel Lateef In Nigeria, Landmark, LP only(?). If you dug him on A,K, Salim's Afro Soul/Drum Orgy, then you'll love this one. Unlike most, apparently, I also enjoy the "New Age" albums he made later on for Atlantic. Not really "jazz", but definitely Lateef-ian to the core. You have to adjust your expectations and listening perspective, but where's the harm in that? The YAL sides are a varied lot, but most of the ones I've heard I can recommend with at least some enthusiasm, the ones w/Ricky Ford (on of the most genuinely wack jazz albums I've ever heard, btw), Von Freeman, & Adam Rudolph with unreseved enthusiasm. Really, the Lateef/Ford side is just plain nuts!

Much to my surprise & dismay, I was unable to locate a Storyville Records (the early 1950s George Wein label, not the later one) discography online, not even in Mike Fitzgerald's otherwise near-comprehensive lable listings.

Yeah, I've gone back and read the thread, and all I can say is wow. Never would have suspected that that kind of music would have come from that guy. I only know him through his commercial work, which was always very tasty but nothing like this. I've also heard those sides praised over the years, but looking at the personnel, I was expecting something....different than this. So I passed them up in all their incarnations. My bad, it would seem.
