A wannabe-wannabe. The food chain continues to lengthen.

I bet his mom still makes his bed for him.

Seriously - Very good, and yes.

I dunno, THE NOTORIOUS BYRD BROTHERS & SWEETHEART OF THE RODEO are pretty much classics, imo...

DeJohnette did that Montreux thing on Verve, and it was indeed good.

My point EXACTLY!

Yeah, that "eternal life" thing gets a little wiggy, what with it meaning wihout end OR beginning, but I go with it. I figure if homeboy can laugh, so can I.

Nice carpet, sunken den, encyclopedias, & entertainment center, Rebel Boy.

I was never unborn!

All I know is that as a kid, when "Ipanema" came on the radio in the midst of Dick & Dee Dee, The Four Seasons, Paul & Paula, and other asexual advocates of adolescent angst, time stood still, and my groin began to tingle in a way that I dod not yet understand. Yeah, she's limited, but she gets a lot of slack from me because of that. Some have gotten less for doing more!

Who are the people in Dallas? Name names.

Merry Christmas! http://ww12.e-tractions.com/snowglobe/intro.htm

Do they talk about the Rev. James Charles Jessup? My first exposure to no-holds-barred (and I DO mean NO) fire-and-brimstone radio evengelism. On XEG if I remember correctly. The guy used to scare me at first (MAN, he worked himself into a frenzy), but after a while, me and a cuppla buddies used to listen to him and cop the best bits to freak out out least favorite teachers, which in 6th-7th grade was most all of them, God bless'em. Radio used to be fun. BIG fun.

Hmmm... a new format awaits - post the answers (artists names only) in advance of distribution, but not in order. The game would then be to figure out which cut is which. Might not be as easy as it sounds!

Actually, not a bad idea, especially if somebody could do an Ellington/Delius juxtaposition that would illustrate the similarities that I used to keep hearing about but in my admittedly limited exposure to Delius have never actually caught.

Weak is OK. Better than Ok, really. And besides, you nailed one, and would have nailed half of a second with a more decisive guess! But again - "guessing" is not necessarily the object of the game. Discussing is at least as important, and I think we'll have a lively discussion or two once the answers are revealed. One's brewing already!

Klook! (let's keep it jazz, ok?) JUST KIDDING!

Some favorites of mine from days gone by: The Weird Beard Cousin Linnie The Real Donnie Steele Clean Gene Kent Hubcap Carter (still active, but a shadow of his former bad self) Peoples, do yerselfs a flavor and pick up this badboy rat heah: Radio will never be like this again.

Personally, I think it's MORE "jazz" (musically and emotionally) than 90% (at least!) of what passes for jazz these days , but on that I hope we can respectfully disagree. Myself, I'll take Marvin Gaye over Kurt Elling any day of the week (and twice on Sunday!). Now, that's not to say that Marvin was informed by bebop, but jazz is so much more than bebop. Marvin was DEEPLY influenced by Billie Holliday, and to me, it shows pretty clearly in a tune like the one included (if that in fact IS Marvin... ). But this matter should probably best be left for the Post-Answer-Revealing thread, which will be around early next week. This is indeed Organissimo, not Soul-issimo, but "organ jazz" and/or "soul jazz" would not be what it is today without Marvin Gaye (that phrasing, that nuance, that depth of feeling!) and James Brown (those grooves!). There's good reasons why those genres of jazz stayed popular when nearly all others struggled, and the influence of people like Gaye & JB (musically and culturally) are prime among them.

A maddeningly inconsistent artist, but one with one of the most acute harmonic senses around nevertheless. When he's good, he's fascinating, and when he's not, he's just WAAAAY cheesy. He recorded Guarabe w/Tjader in 1976 for Fantasy, and what I've heard of it has been excellent - nice loose grooves with harmonic ambition that might well be called audacious. His contributions to and in the Latin Jazz idiom are nothing to sneeze at, and his tune "Morning" is somewhat of a standard in that idiom. Still, he can either be brilliant or quesodic in that bag as well. His AMG Profile gives a good list of all his accomplishments. An artist whose highs make the lows all the more curious, but one for whom I'm willing to take the risk. The guy has a lot to offer.

Dallas has phallus and stuff galore, but Cleburne makes meburn, they're just piss poor.

Jim, you're assuming that the "Sex Machine" that Woody recorded was the Sly tune, and not the James Brown piece of the same name.

I NEED YOUR MAILING ADDRESS ASAP!!! Send me an email by 4 PM today if at all possible. Either address is good. Thanks!

Am I alone in thinking that Evans played "differently" when there were horns around than when in a trio, duet, or solo setting, especially as the years passed? Myself, I prefer it.

Best of wishes to a guy whose work speaks for itself in a single word - CONSUMATELYPROFESSIONAL!
