Yo Scott, great neighbors!

No slight intended, I just always looked at it and thought, "eh, more dross, who needs it". Not necessarily the case, then, eh?

I'd like to say that in this part of the country, we hear Weather Report on the Monk & Miles channel, but that would be a lie.

GO! is the "best album" (DOIN' ALRIGHT comes close, but Dex's playing doesn't soar the way it does on GO!, and w/Dex, the more the soar, the higher the score)), but OUR MAN IN PARIS is my favorite, just because it's got that danger to it - Bud sounding like he could lose it at any second, Pierre Michelot doing the same (but for totally different reasons), Klook sounding like he don't givaphuk, he's gonna get his nut one way or the other, and Dex sounding gleefully delighted to be right smackdab in the big fat middle of it all, doing his full part for and to maintaining the states of all concerned. If anybody on this date was totally sober, I'd be shocked. Men at work, growed mens, properly fortified for the tasks at hand. It ain't just a record, it's real life!

Wow. So was it like the V/M contracts, one for jazz and one for commerical?

Does J&R still have the best online prices?

Heard the Shorter last night, and it's truly the work of crazy people, unquestionably, genuinely, certifiably crazy people. Oh well, works for me anyway!

Do "we" know anybody who reads "entertainment weekly"? And if "we" do, are they the type of people who ordinarily buy stuff like this?

Which one? Even his record company (Columbia) gave him 2 contracts at one time. Wasn't that Verve/Mercury?

George Duvivier, as well. But hell, who hasn't played with George Duvivier?

I've played with Hilton Jefferson. Really! That's not the original cover, btw. Hear samples here: http://www.musicminusone.com/Main/Details.asp?AlbumID=744#ac

Thought I ahd alredy signed up, but no? Put me down for the BFT only, since I have the Shaw stuff already, ok?

Hello, Kisty.

Hel-LO, Kirty!

Hello, Kritty! Is that a sickle in your hand, or are you just glad to see me?

Her name is Kritty. She says hello.

Him and Bob Dorough had an live album together on Blue Note fairly recently. Fans of either (or both) should enjoy it.

All of it!

You don't know jack! Well, not in the biblical sense, but otherwise...

You'd spread p-nut butter on this? Sacre blue cheese! Now, Skippy on Monk I could see...

Are Hugo & Luigi the only people in the history of the world to have produced both Perry Como & Bud Powell? I mean, WTF is THAT?

Jack & Coke, no question.

I gotta get the missus one of them Easter Bonnets, cept'n we aint got no Easter parade. Maybe a Scotch Bonnet would do instead?

The first, I think.
