A rip (EVERYTHING on that label is a rip) from BYG/Actuel. But since they weren't exactly "clean" themselves, I don't know that there is a morally "kegit" release...

Just finished reading this fascinating, compelling, and, at times, deeply moving work by Marcus M. Cornelius, and I don't know what to say (or think). What Mr. Cornelius has apparently done is to combine historical research with the impressions of many of Warne's accquaintances over the years, and combined them into a mix of biography and novel. It's not quite like any other "jazz book" I've ever read, and I mean that in a wholly positive way. Although there are many "literary devices" on display throughout the book, many times blatantly so, the amazing thing is that with only one or two exceptions, I never lose the illusion that this is actually Warne Marsh speaking, telling his life's story "from beyond", and entirely in his own voice. This is a risky assumption to make, because I never knew Warne Marsh. NEver even got to see him perform, But I know his music intimately, and to the extent that anybody can ever "know" anybody through thier music, I feel as if I "know" Warne Marsh. And I tell you - the Warne Marsh that Mr. Cornelius crafts in this novel is very, very much like the Warne Marsh I "know". From the recounting of his ancestry, to the detatched ambivalence of his childhood, to the variuos reasons why he did or did not do certain things in his life (personal and career-related), very little rings false when placed up against waht I know about Warne through his music, his "real" biography, and the comments others have made about him through the years. The author really seems to have captured the "voice" of his subject. But I don't know if he has, or if he just wrote a really good piece of fiction. I'd be interested in hearing opinions from those who would know better than I. But either way, it's a damn good book.

Well hell, they sell pulpy orange juice, why not Pulpy Lime Coke? Fibah, Flayvah, Fun!

This is one of those sets where if you dig the music, really dig it, you'll do what you gotta do to get it. An amazing document.

Connectivity issues do indeed persist.

There have been a few sets along the way that I really wanted, but couldn't get for financial reasons at the time. Otherwise, I became a CarpeDiemist a looooong time ago. Once anything becomes "rare", it's always easier to get rid of it than it is to find it.

A fine choice!

That went out the door when Dick Hyman and Dick Wellstood played a duet on "Cherry".

So, the section rehearsals are or are not on the Mosaic? I'm thinking not?

Hey, grackle - FUCK YOU. Damn loudass bigtail bird...

Well, just remember -opportunity knocks many times. But you have to answer the door!

Some, not all. Do you have a turntable?

There was always a bassist. An upright in the old days, electric later on. For a while, Wilton Felder was playing the electric on the records.
