Small picture, but this is the one I have ... Things Are Swingin' - Jump for Joy And this is the one I have: THE MAN I LOVE coupled with IF YOU GO.

Somebody get that guy some pennicillin, and PRONTO!!!!

From what I can find on this site: http://www.gokudo.co.jp/Record/BlueNote4/index.htm this seems to be the first one that had the new logo on the cover: But I don't think that was the first one released under the Liberty regime.

I'm still trying to figure out why you guys are wishing Felix Unger on each other. I mean, he was kinda prissy and stuff, but aren't we all at one time or another? Now, Theodore J. Mooney, THAT'S somebody I'd not want wished on me. Him or Harrison Carter (who, it must be noted, was a fink!)

"Condensed opera", to be exact. It goes with the avitar.

Of course, it it's celebrities you want... http://www.fadetoblack.com/outtakes/index1.html

This might be a good time to re-recommend this garden of delights: http://www2.bitstream.net/~tgg/tgg/ No celebrities, but so much the better!

"And what was Changeable Charlie?", nobody is probably asking. Why, the perfect toy for teaching a young boy about the glories of mutiple personalities, that's what!

Mine too. But hell, I played with Changeable Charlie, so afaic, I got the better deal.

Dan, all I can say is that a lot of Larry's opinions are similar to mine, and that more than once over the years his writing has helped me to get a better grip on what I was already feeling about certain music but had not yet been able to pinpoint and/or express (as to why I've not been content to just feel w/o having a concurrent need to express, hell, I dunno. Guess I'm just wired that way. To each as they are, right?). And that although he offers no "technical" analyses, he quite often "gets inside" the actual processes of playing a lot more accurately than many who do. This I can state with total certainty. As they say, your mileage may vary (and obviously it does), and that's totally cool. But if anybody asks, put me down as a huge fan of Larry Kart's writing, even the stuff that I don't agree with.

I'm reading both.

I like CONTRASTS just fine. A bit loose, but more "together" than OF LOVE AND PEACE, at least to my ears. I like some tunes off of HEAVEN & EARTH better than others, but afaic, “The Cradle” is the most sublime of Young's ongoing series of organ/drums duets. Bottom line for me- if you just want the "highlight" of Young's BN career, you can skip these, but otherwie, there's enough meat there to justify getting them all in some form or fashion (which doesn't mean paying exhorbitant prices for the Mosaic). The two Arista albums, otoh, are emminently ignorable. And ignoble. The music goes beyond being "dumbed down" into being outright dumb. Unequivically. No redeeming qualities whatsoever, not even in production values. Some pitiful shit. The Muse side w/Chambers, otoh, is a delight. Be forwarned, however, hat Chambers plays piano on all but two cuts. So if you're expecting an album of blistering organ/drums duets, don't. But otherwise, grab this puppy and enjoy. Da' Bastids usually have "new reissue" copies (of what origin, I haven't a clue) of this on vinyl. Not yet mentioned is LOVE CRY WANT. Incredible music, but defintiely not for the faint of heart. You've been warned.

You got me on that one. It's a plenty enjoyable side, and used to be plentiful. And plentifully cheap. Worth some "cutout" bucks for sure.

Good, not essential.

That doesn't meant you're not 35...

Nope. The lacquer slightly affects the vibration (that is to say, the resonace) of the metal. Some people strip the lacquer off completey, others let it age (if it's good to begin with). But only very brave souls (or fools...) relacquer a horn. That's tempting fate to be cruel.

Ok, 35. But that's as low as I'm going.

Indeed! ANYTHING w/the Byard/Davis/Dawon trio ( a favorite of sorts for Schlitten at the time, it seems) is going to take damn near any tune and mutate it far beyond the realms of "traditional". A miraculous trio, actually. This one finds Booker & Dex going up against that dynamic (w/Reggie Workman in place of Davis) for two long jams on very traditional forms that don't stay traditional for too very long, if you get my drift. Byard in particular is getting his freak on. Booker's there from the git-go; however it takes Dexter one tune to really catch the vibe. But when he does, WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Jimbobwe says check it out!

Wow... That sure is a broad spectrum, chronologically speaking.

Glad to be of service. Too much bullshit out there to let something good go unnoticed.

You mean that Enja thing w/Horace Parlan? Yeah, that's good stuff.

Alright, 54 then.

And one day they will be on Springer, blaming you for all this. Especially the juicer. Those drunks love to complain.

Actually, "pretty soon" turned out to be now. Just ordered your book + the Dan Morgenstern.

Think I'll give it a shot pretty soon. Thanks for the heads-up? BTW - when you read them yourself, so you do the drone thing?
