Yeah, but I think that Cleveland Eaton's bass playing on those sides is worthy of your consideration. Cat had a nice BIG tone on the wood, and more modern-oriented chops than his predecessor. The Young-Holt group is archetypical, to be sure, but the trios with Eaton (White wasn't with him all that long, btw) made more interesting (relatively speaking) music, especially once Ramsey started playing Rhodes. This is all just my personal preference, mind you.

White, Eaton, & Morris Jennings. Got a 5-Star review in Down Beat, for whatever that's worth.

Here's a trio w/Cleveland Eaton & Maurice White. Yes, that Maurice White.

Moody's not always made great records but he's always been a great player. He's never really gotten complacent harmonically, and his tone remains one of the most distinctive in jazz. Here's hoping that he continues to live longly and strongly.

If it does, Dennis will put some sticks in his Eye-pod! (just kidding, Al. I hope...)

Up, to ask the musical question, "Whatever Happened To Tone Jansa?" The cat could play!

The temptation to hide an egg up that kid's ass must've been very strong...

WHOA!

A) There's tables and a bar for sure. Close enough. B) Yes, we take them. Beyond that, no promises. C) Yes, we know it, and will play it for the proper consideration. But only if you sing! D) No need for that, especially if Gallio's in that "special" zone of his.

For a second there, I read "Larry Ridley" and was really wondering WTF. He had a career as a fashion model once (seriously), and now this? Guess it's time for new specs!

That would be sweel! And if the money starts working out, we're thinking about adding a shuttle service, national, international, and, eventually, intergallactic. Then all can share the magic. But we need your support to make it happen, so- DARE TO DREAM! DARE TO LEAVE THE HOUSE! DARE TO DRINK THE KOOL-AID! Well, that third one might not be so wise. But the first two are pretty solid notions, even today.

Say WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!

I think it might have something to do with the plants involved...

So where have we been, anyway? Well, if I told you, I'd have to kill you, and since we got a gig coming up and want you to be there, let's just leave well enough alone, ok? Seriously, we've finally found a club that's willing to present real music for real people with no expectations other than that they get both in ample doses to make it worthwhile for all concerned, so we're humbly asking for your support.

Quartet Out - Pete Gallio, Jim Sangrey, Lyles West, & Dennis Durick

You mean Wayne Bennet?

No sparks, no fire. No fire, no light. No light. No light, no cigarettes. No cigarettes, well... you haven't seen cantankerous!

This is THE WAY I FEEL: If the music is any indication, the most horrifying condition imaginable.

Maxwell could play.

And neither firm nor fully packed.

I dunno, man, "exactly" is such a .......BIG word......

A thead like that would certainly be welcome. I'd love to learn some new names, as well as learning more about old faves like Lee Allen, Red Tyler, Sam Taylor, Red Prysock, etc. Want me to fix you some coffee?

THE EYES OF A KILLER!!!! THE HAIR OF A POET!!!!! (apologies to Davis & Laton )

You better get a time machine then...

Word!

Had them both in the early 1970s, when I was about your age. They were part of the big Liberty catalog purge of about 1970 or so, and were available as cutouts rather readily. Listened to them a few times, found them pretty superficial, and got rid of them shortly thereafter. Don't remember exactly how. I mean, the kid were jsut that - kids. They could all "play" but that was it. No disrespect meant, but that's just the way it was. No "prodigies" involved, no "young geniuses", just some kids who could play their instruments well enough to not obviously suck. I supposed I should have been inspired, what with me also being a teenager and all, but I had just discovered Coltrane, and Craig Hundley seemed a little less compelling, if you know what I mean.
