You shot a dead man? DUDE!

YES!!! YES!!! YESSSSSS!!!! Who's da man? I'M da maaaan!!!! It don't happen often, but when it does (me nailin' a BFT player), I'm gonna dance for all I can!!! OOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!! ← WHO'S PLAYING BASS WITH ETTA? (sorry ) ← I know, I know..... hence my excitement about getting THAT one right! ← Again man, sorry 'bout that. Not very nice of me... I actually had both you (for Sam) & Dan (for Houston) in mind when I pulled that track.

What kind of wood is Tulgey, anyway?

20% chance of rain means that they're not predicting rain but are covering their ass anyway, just in case they're wrong.

"We'll Be Together Again"....mmm....mmm...GOOD.

What a life!

Yeah, not real involved writing, but it's a good'un. Berlin Dialogue For Orchestra is not bad either, even if it's got a little bit of that "don't make it TOO involved because rehearsal time is gonna be limited" thing to it. That one's got some pretty good writing on it, and some excellent solos. Shoot, I widh Verve would reissue Johnny Hodges' The Elventh Hour, a thing that Nelson wrote string arrnagements for. It's supposed to be "easy-listening", but there's more quirks on that thing than there are hairs on a poodle...

Works for me!

You're on these tutu: You also recorded with Pucho & His Latin Soul Brothers.

He have the amnesia, remember?

Nah, that's Jonathan Edwards.

Hey, I know what - let's put you on To Tell The Truth and then you can find out everything about yourself that you need to know. Just remember - when they say "Will the REAL Claude Bartee please stan up". somebody's gotta do it, even if you don't know if it's supposed to be you or not.

Yeah, there's some Nelson stuff on Flying Dutchman that really deserves a proper (i.e. - intellegent and respectful) reissue. This one, defintely, the one with Hodges & Thomas, the live Leon Thomas date (w/Lex Humphries, btw) - some soloing in a small group context on that one, etc. Bob Theile used Nelson at every turn, it seems, and if it's not all golden, there's more than a few gems in there, as well as this one genuine masterwork. A Mosaic select would be ideal, but how's that gonna happen? As for Cannonball, I don't know what, if anything, they could do with this particular album (other than couple it with another one in a straight reissue), but what I would like to see is for somebody to get the unedited tapes of the sessions that made up The Price You Gotta Pay To Be Free (w/Zawinul) & The Black Messiah (w/George Duke), drop the various "extraneous" materials, and restore the Quintet performances to full length. There's more than a few tantalizing glimpses of music on those albums that makes Zawinul's claim that Cannonball's band was playing hipper shit than Miles' of the same time seem more than just an idle boast, if you know what I mean. The records as released really do/did this band a disservice as far as documenting what they were really into, I believe. But again, how's that gonna happen?

Did you have album jackets up in the window?

I think that I shall never hear A thing as lovely as a tree.

Thank you ladies and gentlemen, I'll be here through Sunday. Don't forget to tip your waitresses and bartenders.

Well, yeah, duh, but I though he might remember anyway. Maybe we can start a fund-raiser to get him some Hipnosis.

Except for your amnesia, That sucks, Any idea how it happened?

IIRC, some of the Laserlight is actually from 1963 (could be wrong about that, though). This stuff is from 1965 right towards the end of the "Classic Quartet", and it will scare the shit out of you if you ain't ready for it.

Compared to who? Charlie Watts?

Can't afford JJ & Anita both, so I wentt w/JJ. It's got Elvin. SUCH a cliche of my generation, but hey...

Dude, you and that Varitone were just WACK! Do you remember how to pronounce your name? Is it "BART-ee", "bar-TEE", or "Claude"?
