And Al Gore should be running for reelection...

Where can I get an itenerary for this tour? Talk about road trip-worthy!

Ever notice how much Gilmore sounds like Clifford Jordan on that one?

But at least clean up first!

And if you can't, it's ok. There's other ways to show your love. Holding hands, for instance.

Make it so, dude, MAKE IT SO!!!!

I always assumed because of the scarcity of the black label pressings the green label came in the sixties. Can anyone post sequence of stereo labels and dates? I can't, sorry, but Bill Fenohr once gave me the same info that Dmitry states re:label chronology (but not sound quality), and if anybody would know about that kind of thing, it would be Bill.

and: what witty remark can I make about THAT question? hmmm :rsly: Something involving post counts, perhaps?

Uh, Benny Golson is a musician (an icon in some circles, in fact, as I'm sure you know), he does play himself in the movie (i.e. - he appears as a musician), and he does actually play music in the movie, albeit briefly. "Miscellaneous Music" seems reasonable enough to me, as does the preexistent thread in "Miscellaneous - Non-Political" that John points out. Now, the question is - what does THIS have to do with music?

A third vote for FREE FOR ALL. GOT to have FREE FOR ALL. Also essential, but somewhat off the beaten path, are the 1961 Paris concerts, the Fresh Sounds collections of Birdland broadcasts that were inexplicably issued under Lee Morgan's name, and the 1958 live date from Club St. Germain. Live Messengers from the "classic" period is often a lot harder and intense than studio dates from the same time. The reason I (and some others, probably) are recommending FREE FOR ALL is that it's one of the few studio dates that comes really close to capturing that live intensity.

RDJ was living in FW as recently as a few years ago. He keeps (kept?) a low (non-existent, really) profile locally.

And wesbed, if the whole "Meditation" series doesn't do it for you, try these and take it from there. Also, that AFRICAN BIRD:COME BACK MOTHER AFRICA side is one BEAUTIFUL piece of music, anf that's no exaggeration!

Tony hopes so too!

COOL!

From this: To this: From This: To this: GOTTA make you wonder, no?

a-HA! My guess is that it was Tooted Camarillo (or whatever his name was) who got Schertzer the date. Check out his AMG BIO : A trumpet player for bands led by Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey and Benny Goodman, Maestro Camarata (born Salvador Tutti Camarata) made his greatest mark as an arranger. In addition to orchestrating numerous big band hits for Jimmy Dorsey, including "Green Eyes" and Tangerine," Camarata orchestrated and/or produpced historic recordings by Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, and Duke Ellington. Balancing his early career with studies at the Juilliard School of Music, Camarata learned the art of orchestral conducting under Cesare Sodero of the Metropolitan Opera. In 1943, he conducted and orchestrated a recording by Jascha Heifetz. Temporarily moving to England in 1944 to work on the soundtrack of the film London Town, he signed a recording contract with the British affiliate of Decca. His first projects for the label included orchestrating and conducting a series of albums focusing on the compositions of Puccini, Verdi, Bach, Bizet, Tchaikovsky, and Rachmaninoff. Accepting an invitation to start Disney Records in 1958, Camarata remained with the company for 16 years, producing more than 300 albums for the label, including the soundtracks of Snow White, Jungle Book, and It's a Small World; 35 Disney Melodies; and albums by Annette Funicello and Hayley Mills. He recorded two albums for Disney's Buena Vista label: Tutti's Trumpets in 1957 and Tutti's Trombones in 1980. Camarata also worked on an album of spiritual hymns, The Power and the Glory, that he recorded for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The album, which was released on the Celestial Visions label, was recorded with a 100-piece orchestra, a 180-voice adult choir, a children's choir, pipe organ, and antiphonal brass. So we have a seasoned vet of the Swing Era (and those are amongst my favorite JD charts, even if they are basically the same), somebody who fully appreciates good section work, and somebody in a position to get cats dates to display just that. A likely choice, I'd say!

Let's leave Millie Jackson out of this, ok?

Sorry to hear about your dad, Kevin. That's gotta hurt.

They were on Good Time Jazz, of course. DOH! I would like to know who the heck got Hymie Schertzer a date on Disneyland records. though.

The Most High Lord of Polyester?

No, not even The Beetelz!

Considering that the original LPs went for about 5 bucks new and usually sounded better, HELL YEAH they're overpriced! JUST KIDDING!!!!! Seriously, I think the price is about as good as one could hope for. Definitely NOT overpriced!

Haven't heard this particular one, but if you've never heard Tony Scott, you're missing one of the most interesting and far reaching personal and musical odysseys in the annals of jazz. Check it out: http://www.tonyscott.it/

Thank you! I too was underwhelmed by the Liberty date, so when I heard all the fuss about his other one, I had to wonder.

YEAH! THAT!
