Biviano kept getting mike feedback on high notes. Buddy was visibly irked and was mouthing at him all night. The actual firing is said to have occurred after the gig, behind the auditorium. I wasn't there to see it, but word was that it got heated...

Chuck Findley, not Finley. My bad.

COVID? Roscoe? Oh dear...

Chuck Finley (I think) on trumpet Richie Cole on lead alto Pat LaBarbara on tenor Rick Stepton on trombone Rick Laird on bass I saw Buddy in 1972. He fired Lin Biviano that night. Then I saw Maynard less than a year later and Biviano was in that band. So if you had skills, there were gigs By 1980, the Rich band had lost most of its vet players and had a different pocket than this one. I like this one much better. It was always played. Kind of a "greatest hit".

Airshots of some really good bands here, with really good books that lean into bop more often than not. Also, some really good, occasionally extended Prestastic solos by Allen Eager. As well, a few brief but unmistakeable contributions from Warne Marsh. And Buddy is always swinging (sic). He sings here and there, and dies not suck. Models here are Basie and Herman. People with an interest in Post WWII big bands navigating the dance/bop waters would be well-advised to check out these recordings! If you only want one, get the first one. The second one fleshes things out, but is not the near-essential document that the first one is. Again, some really good bands here!

Is Front Row Amy still around?

Tony!

Vinnie Barbarino Barbara Ann Ann Romano

Sofie Xernod - Songs By Sofie!!!

Connected vocal exhortations of key chord tones.

He plays very well on that Live at The House Of Tribes from a while back. But...he got what he wanted, which was obviously not to be a serious contender as a serious long-game jazz trumpet player.

Records may indeed be Your Best Entertainment Value, but on any given day (such as tonight), Max Scherzer will be mine!!!

Never on CD AFAIK.

Waves Of Dreams is gem for me. I took off "Seeing Beyond The Obvious" to play with my group at the time. I like the electric piano. Very much of it's time, unlike the "retreat" back to conventional instrumentation (and to a certain extent, repertoire). Having said that, I have been more or less all in on Sonny Fortune over the years. But those Horizon records with Charles Sullivan, that's some real time music right there.

Silent Joe Fuzzer - I'm Comin' Back!!!

Me too. I treated that thing like family!

Didn't realize until very recently that there were Seasons 3 & 4 of Mr. Robot. For some reason back then, I thought it had stopped after 2. Spent the last few stays starting over (memory was a bit cloudy) and this time following through, to be finished in full tomorrow. It's being fun!

I don't know that a Mosaic big box set has ever included OG liner notes?
