Man, you don't know how much!

"How Can I Get Over You" & "Let Me Down Easy" are like unfiltered Atlantic-era Ray Charles gospel-ish ballads, and I say that w/o a trace of irony. Unbelievably raw and soulful.

Or not. But DAMN! http://funky16corners.tripod.com/5_alvin_robinson.htm God bless you, Harold!

No, I've got two CDs on RTE & a 3rd on Trema. Never heard of the Lighthouse label. Do you mean Laserlight? Also, I thnk that maybe Malaco has a release of them. Not sure about that. However you can find them, get them!

Yeah, it's a carbonated soft-drink. There's some pretty rank stuff to be had, but IBC is one of the best. Very tasty!

IBC is one of the world's great root beers. They moved to Texas from St. Louis, thanks to corporate hoe-downs and green snakes on the ceiling. http://www.ibcrootbeer.com/index.html

Hasn't there been a similar quarterly publication out of Rutgers for some time? Seems like it started sometimes in the late 1970s. Did it stop for a while?

No, and I think that Gil's intro to "So What" was basically a transcription/orchestration of Bill Evans' intro, wasn't it?

Haven't heard that one. Is it on Black&Blue?

Now if you want to hear a really "loose" Blakey, check out "Nihon Bashi" on Kyoto. WHOA! And hey, no discussion of great Blakey performances, trumpet-centric or not, is complete w/o a serious consideration of the 5/13/61 Olympia gig released on RTE/Trema/etc. That's "HOLY SHIT!" material if ever there was any.

No, that's IBC... IIRC + If I Recall Correctly As for Whalum, ok, Memphisian by birth, Texan by Sound! You'd not know it by 99% of what he's recorded, but the cat can PLAY!

I would beg to diiffer. The tempos might not be as bright, but the energy is at least as high, if not higher.

Somewhere in my closet I've got an old Hit Parader from 1968 (when it was actually a "serious" rock magazine) with an article about the Coral Electric Sitar. Now - who/what was Coral, and what kind of marketing department did they have?

There isn't one answer. A definition is ultimately a consensus of perception. Useful for a lot of things, but not necessarily the whole picture. Ok, here's my "definition" of music: Like they say, everything's everthing, and everything vibrates at some level. So "Music" is whatever part of that everything that you can want/need it to be. If it's your foot, hey, cool. That certainly falls outside of any consensus that I know of, but that doesn't mean that if you tell me that your foot is music and I can't hear/feel it that it's not. It just means that I can't want/need it to be. And that may or may not be my loss. Probably not, but you never know...

Unacceptable. In terms of both sequencing and omission.

Well, yeah. More gigs, and that kept the chops up.

The only "problem" I have w/recommending Riot as part of a compilation/anthoogy is that it's one of those albums that stands alone, and is best experienced like that in order to get the full impact of it as an album. But maybe that's just the opinion of somebody who's always heard it that way.

It was Juneteenth.
