Only for the use of bad grammar... Hey, it was right on the original Lp. Blame that damned BN proofreading department again!

Yeah, too many people spending too much time in front of the mirror!

I wonder if Little Debbie was ever a Girl Scout and got kicked out or something. You know, like Satan once being an angel in Heaven?

Hey, it's cool, and thanks for the heads up. I cancelled my first order and promptly created another one with NEVER LET ME GO added. Piece of the proverbial cake!

Well, we told Uncle Bob to take along a bunch of 2X4s (the classics really do never go out of style), but he piddled around and ended up w/1X12s instead, which are longer, sure, but narrower, and when the contrabass is involved, you gotta think GIRTH, dig? Save that skinny shit for molding, we told him, but noooooo.... We've tried calling his cell, and the voice mail is still on, so maybe he just needs to find a good reception area. But then again, that cheap bastard probably doesn't want to pay roaming charges, so let his stew!

Indeed. Did "They Can't Take That Away From Me" ever pop up anywhere else? I looked at all the LT albums and don't see it. Whatever that proves, which at this point is next to nothing...

Especially my beloved Samoans.

Only if you have a tenor.

So, are you a soprano vagina, an alto vagina, a tenor vagina, or what? Hope you're not one of those contrabass vaginas - my Uncle Bob fell into one of those out in Vegas last year and we STILL haven't heard from him.

Samoas. I can and do at them by the box. What I want to know is, if "chocolate cookies" are made out of chocolate, and "oatmeal cookies" are made out of oatmeal, then what are "Girl Scout cookies" made out of?

Someday I will learn to read... "You'll Never Get Away From Me" is NOT the same as "They Can't Take That Away From Me", is it... So, where's the title tune on these CDs? The LP still has 7 cuts.

Yeah, pretty sure...

Sorry, but that AMG listing shows the same cuts as the LP. Don't know what "They Can't Take That Away from Me [#]" means, but it's on the LP.

What else has non-LP material besides Conquistador?

Coggins also appeared on one of those things that George Braith releaed on his own label.

I've got Free Form and some earlier things on two old Jazzland LPs that I culled out the cutout bins about 30-odd years ago (apparenty Riverside/Jazzland leased them for issue in the U.S.). Even now they sound fresh. I'm also taken how Harriot sounded on the earliest material, which is mainstream hard bop in nature. He doesn't really sound like anybody else, and has an "expressionistic" quality that reminds me, in spirit (but not style), of Ernie Henry. Can't say that I'm familiar with his work beyond that, but that's my bad. Definitely a player worthy of further exploration, I think.

Depends on which decade you're talking about.

I somehow caught the beginning of this thread but not the denouement. For that I offer my sincerest apologies, along with my deepest sympathies.

Yeah, but we're OLD.

I just got my prescription refilled, so I'm good for a little while.

David Boykin is worth a listen.

Well, considering where "the right" was during those years, that's kinda like saying that your average rock-and-roll fan of the same years was a white teenager wanting more excitement than their "social destiny" offered them at the time. It's true, but I'm not sure that there's any "deep" relevance to it because it's so obvious, and, I'd argue, an inevitability. If we follow this POV to it's logical conclusion, how do we not end up saying that all white folks (including musicians) who dug hard bop over cool were posers motivated more by "white guilt" than a genuine appreciation and affinity for the music? I can go there up to a point, but only to a point. There has been (and is) that element to the overall jazz culture, and always has been, But labels like "white guilt" and "left-leaning"? To successfully paint with a brush that broad requires that LOTS of masking tape be applied beforehand!

I figured jazz was the place for dichotomous argumentation. Isn't it? --eric I don't know what that means, but sure, why not?
