What was the deal between Rhino & Mosaic?

Same here. The rhythm section catches fire, Jackie is rawer than fresh meat, and Ornette's trumpet playing sounds like he shedded for the gig.

..over the septic tank? (apologies to Erma Bombeck)

Found this site w/a lot of cover scans. Cool! http://www.geocities.co.jp/MusicHall/2651/...GRAPHY/top.html

Have you heard this? It's a Dot session w/Illinois Jacquet guesting. Somebody pulled it out of a cutout bin and gave it to me for a birthday present when I was 15. Sorta one of the albums that made AFRIQUE such a pleasant shock, if you get my drift. Not bad, but my guess is that this Verve stuff will have, uh... "broader appeal". My bad - the album to which I'm referring here is HALF A SIXPENCE. All those "Happy White People Movies With Money In Their Titles" kinda blur together after a while...

Yeah, him and Jay are both Oliver North's daughter.

Amazing how many people are willing to admit that they know who Peter North is...

Chris, we were both posting simultaneously, so I didn't read yours before making mine. But WHOA, talk about a happy accident!

I only really know Sandoval's work from after he left Cuba, and I must say that I find it to have all the subtlety of a Peter North ejaculation and none of the entertainment value.

Besides BLOOD...., the various Mariachi Brass duds (there were several), there's this winner, along the lines of Bud Shank's MICHELLE "hit" album:

Mr. Swede, thanks for that clarification. If I remember correctly, the liners to 16 Men say something about "collecting" the material from the DANCE SESSIONS albums, or something like that. It's good to have that clarification! It's kind of amazing to me how, other than APRIL IN PARIS, the Joe Williams stuff, and the Newport side, so darn little of Basie's pre-Roulette Verve stuff has been in general circulation over the last 35-40 years.

So, what kind of chart action is this thing showing? Does it have legs?

Damn.

If you already have a basic understanding of harmony, theory, know the "basic" chords to some tunes, and can read music, the Omnibook shows in actual notes what nobody's ever really adequately into words, at least not yet, not to my knowledge (although I've yet to read the Carl Woideck thing). Even if you have nothing but the most rudimental knowledge, but have a freind who has more knowledge to go over the solos with you and illuminate what's going on, that's better than reading "musical analysis" (a whole 'nother creature than criticism, fwiw) that is either superficial or impressionistic.

If you meant the 70s two-fer, I think so.
