Eartha Kitt naked and horny 30-40 years ago. I'd pay good money for that souvenir. Other than that, the album of previously unreleased festival performances from a few years ago was pretty nifty. Got any more?

Had a few listens to this last night, and it's going to be filed under "Good For The Long Haul". A superb album in every respect.

You OLD!

Damn.

Of course, the real Young Lion in those days was Steve Coleman, but...

Rodney Kendrick - Dance, World, Dance & Last Chance for Common Sense. Neither are "perfect" by any stretch of the imagination, but that works in their favor, I think. You don't know what you're going to hear before you hear it. I always got the impression that Kendrick was somewhat of an unwilling "Young Lion". Good for him.

I think that George Clinton should take Jerry Springer's place, that's what I think. That cut cracked me up. Disc II is every bit as good as Disc I, although it's a lot more varied in terms of style. There's a rap ode to herb featuring his grandaughter Sativa that got on my nerves at first, but it grew on me. A little. But that's the only "problem" I had with it. And btw - there's a "bonus cut" at the end (also featuring Sativa) that is freakin' hilarious. Think of it as the 21st century cousin of "Take Your Dead Ass Home"

A bump for those who have had one.

Some of these criticisms of Davis are a little harsh, I think. Even on his earliest sides, he was playing, albeit not without a bit of unformed identit. And If is indeed a "commercial" effort, and not a particularly fine one, but I've certainly heard far worse from far better known players. Some y'all make it sound like he's some kind of hack. No such thing!

Buddy Terry's a Newark saxophonist who did some sides for Prestige & Mainstream in the late 60s/early 70s. Natural Soul on Prestige, the one with Shaw & Young, is my favorite, but Pure Dynamite on Mainstream is a real out-of-left-field treat. Terry's always been a solid blues-based soul-jazz/hard bop player, but on this one he ventures into sort of a stretched out late-60s Miles bag. Not necessary a "great" side, but definitely an "interesting" one. I thought that he had sorta "disappeared", but apparently not: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/swingadelic2/from/scottp So hey - Buddy Terry lives!
