Surely this company/site/whatever is a dark joke, but I'm at the point in my life where I no longer feel an obligation to be amused by such things, even "in theory". So, simply put - No. But that's just me.

Thank you both. I'll be ordering it!

Thanks, but could you clarify some more, please? The DG review makes it sound as if it's an album that flirts w/"free", and you're saying that it reminds you of Maynard's early 70s work. Is it a little bit of both? I remember when "free" and "jazz/rock" were actually somewhat compatible, so I'd welcome it if such was the case!

Dates like the Sammy Price, Red Prysock, etc. I don't find al that unusual. It's the more overty mainstream "pop" R&R dates that I was wondering about, like the Dion & Sedaka. That's a totally different thing, both musically and business-wise. But if George Barnes was making those type dates, I guess it's not at all unusual that Burrell would be too.

Can somebody comment on the Dusty Groove review of Off Limits?

We still have Sonny Rollins, thank god.

Nice one ! That gem doesn't get enough plaudits. Great Teddy Edwards.. I'll second that emotion.

Depends. If the soundboard's warped or otherwise screwed, tuning is not going to help. Plus, the felts on your hammers might need replacing. And so on.

Indeed. That's why I called it "wallpaper music". Perhaps too fine a distinction to bother with, I know, but my house has both wallpapered and sheetrocked walls, so I'm kinda squirrely about it.

I'm suspicious of any story that combines the words "snake" and "Johnson".

Great "wallpaper" music, and I mean that as a compliment. Wallpaper can be esthetically uplifting, dig? But I'd never lump it in with "smooth jazz". Never. It's not music you listen to so much as you listen at. I remember hearing it playing in a record store the week it was released and just going into a zone while it played. Then I took it home, "listened" to it, got pissed, and took it back, But I re-bought it a few years ago, and totally dig the sound that it makes in the room when it plays. Sometimes it takes a while to learn about the different levels of music's "functions", and such was the case with this one for me. Chico's made a lot of records like that, especially in the 70s. But I find that once I figure out just what the hell he was trying to do with'em, I end up digging almost all of them.

Is she still Ravi Shankar's father?

Probably not. Scale's scale.
