Glad to see the JAZZ Crusaders finally getting some attention, although I'd prefer a live set instead. But hey.

Every bit as great as it is short! Kinda like Griff himself in that way...

No, I'm saying that Warne Marsh was a bad motherfuker.

Yeah, Shawn, Donald Byrd covered a lot of ground over the years too. Maybe not as "cutting edge" as Wayne's journey, but some pretty interesting routes nevertheless, especially in the very late 60/early 70s (KOFI still blows my mind, both in terms of how interesting it is texturally and how it could have stayed in the vaul for so long). Of course, BLACK BYRD was a whole nother direction entirely, but let's not go there, shall we? And here's a nominee that reflects both Wayne's and Byrd's legacy for the label - Duke Pearson. From artist to staff arranger to A&R man to outright producer, I think he played a big role in the overall output of the label from the mid-19630s onward, and, as producer, was responsible for the most interesting things after UA took over from Liberty and things started getting REALLY wierd. His own recordings covered a lot of ground over the years, too, and although none of it jumps out and screams "HEAVY SHIT!!!", there's quite often some very inteeresting and personal touches going on, especially once he embraced Braziliana and the electric piano.

The same friend who hooked me up w/this one also provided a copy of one w/Billy Harper that is very good as well.

I have NOT! Thanks!

Thanks, guys. This is what I needed to find out!

Yep.

Jim, I tried to delete the file through the XE MS-DOS Command Prompt, but when I went to the directory the file is in, it didn't show up! What does this mean? Does the Command Prompt Shell not reveal all the contents of a directory?

Don't know how I picked it up (suspect kids on line gaming), but I can NOT delete this file - it says it's in use by something else in my system. Only manifestation so far is an occasional pop-up fr the MS-DOS 19 Bit subsystem that says that the file is trying to perform and illegal operation (or words to that effect) and to click "OK" to close the program. I do, and everything proceeds noramally, but I don't like having this thing on my system. I did a Google search, and everything I found I tried, yet it keeps coming back. Neither AdAware nor SpyBot seem to pick it up either. HELP! As always, thanks in advance.

What exactly does this do, and is there any risk of performance disruption as a result of using it? As always, thanks in advance.

"My Favorite Martian". Sounds almost like "marshall". Not much. You?

My favorite...

Lee was a co-star. Arthur Hill was Owen Marshall, Counsellor At Law. Between him and Marcus Welby, M.D. it was rough sleddin'...

The one who boinked Belinda Carlise for a while.

Thanks indeed, Mike! It seems that all I really needed was Vol 1, but nature abhors a vacuum, so I ordered Vol 2 to keep it company. Talk about a sucker....

Up, just to maybe spur some interest, Great stuff, y'all.

I think you might have ALL of it! If not, somebody please tell me ASAP so I can buy the CDs!

Ah, but the musical development continued with SUPER NOVA and ODYSSEY OF ISKA (I'm not counting MOTTO GROSSO FEIO, because it was a "vault" session). I can understand why ODYSSEY continuously gets overlooked, since it's CD availability has been less than optimum. But SUPER NOVA? Geez, that puppy's stayed in print for quite a while now. No matter - Wayne's run at BN covered perhaps the greatest/broadest stylistic evolution of anybody's, from hardbop to free to electric to pastoral proto-ECM. I don't think that anybody else evolved so much on the label. Although - Bobby Hutcherson had quite a diverse (in a different way) stay, a fact which is obscured today by the seemingly total disavowal of his 1970s work by the label.

Considering that Horace stayed with the label until the VERY end, and continuously released albums that were never less than "interesting" during that span, I'd think this is quite the good point.

It's been years since I've heard them, so I have only vague recollections, but would "loft-y" tell you anything?

Just got an e-mail w/this info. Its gonna be a 2 CD reissue of SWEET SPACE (1979) & UNTITLED GIFT (1982), neither before on CD. Supporting cast includes Frank Lowe, Luther Thomas (whatever happened to him, anyway?), Butch Morris, Curtis Clark, Steve McCall, Wilbur Morris, Don Cherry, and Denis Charles. To be available through http://ctdltd.com and Cadence. I'd love to include the fron and back cover scans the sender sent, but whoever it was sent the whole message as a .pdf file. I dig Bang muchly, and these are two albums I've only heard. NEver got a copy of them in any form. This reissue is good news!

The 'Blue Note Reissue Series' ROCKED!
