Ok, Brenda Bragg, have it YOUR way. http://www.historicgolf.com/page_simphotos...m?subjectid=163

Uh, Alex? What is "all of them"? I got teenagers, cable, and a radio and/or TV in damn near every room of the house, to say nothing of letting the kids have plenty of radio-control in the car. No need to come to it. It comes to me. (and yeah, I like lots of it)

When he wants to, he can still deliver the goods. Problem is, he doesn't always seem to want to. Bad pitch, over-reliance on some pet devices, seemingly just going through the motions ("playing" rather than PLAYING), these are all things that the Ron Carter of today (NOT the Ron Carter of yesterday) seems as likely to deliver as an inspired, meaty performance. I'm sure he's got his reasons, but don't we all? I still keep an ear on him, though, because a GOOD Ron Carter gig is someting worth hearing. Call him the Freddie Hubbard of the bass. It fits, in my opinion.

Was that Bob Stewart by any chance?

HIGHLY recommended. One "problem" - they left off the version of "The Christmas Song" that came out on the Palo Alto Christmas album. Of course, if the reissue the Christmas album, It'll be no prpblem at all.

LOVE WALKED IN has been released domestically on Sunnyside and has been in heavy rotation on KNTU. Sounds fine to me. Buster Williams is PUMPIM'!

The thing I dig most about those Horace trio sides is the intros. Cat wrote more music in an intro than most folks did in an entire album.

Brenda Bragg should do anything but...

And while we're at it, let's have a nce round of applause for Nick & Nora Charles, ladies and gentlemen!

Just watch out for Major Healey. That guy is NOT to be trusted!

An extra? You mean, like a spare, in case one falls off? Most shirts today DO come like that!

What's up with the button on her shirt?

Bud Selig for Commisioner Of Golf!

Oh yeah. sorry to have caused you this inconvinience, Jim. Seriously.

Geez, I'm a middle-aged suburban white guy with cable. You'd think I'd be JUST the type they'd want to attract to their site. Oh well, marketing ain't what it used to be!

Way to go, Focker! That's FOKKER, if you don't mind... Seriously, I smell Musicboy.

"Two Different Worlds" is a world unto itself, perhaps the epitome of all that was organ-room jazz. Knocks you out, makes you dance, makes you holler, makes you head for the bar as soon as the last note's over and the band takes a break, full of the spunk to hit on that lady who you've been eyeing (and vice versa). All in under 4 minutes. Yeah, Freddie Roach UNDERSTOOD.

Ditto his lead work w/Dizzy's 40s big band. That band was ragged before Bailey came in, and it was ragged after he left, but when he was on it, well, it was STILL ragged, but in a totally tight way.

Now THAT is tragic, because that zone was one of the DEEPEST places that anybody has ever inhabited. You wanna talk "free"? How about playing in the beat only when the urge hit, and otherwise just floating, literally floating, over it the rest of the time? How about starting and stopping phrase any damn place you felt like? How about lines that begin with an ending and begin with an ending? THAT is free, and Bill Perkins was THERE, if only for a relative moment or two. Yeah, Lester opened the door, and Warne went inside to the deepest recesses, but Perkins seemingly wandered in and made himself at home like HE built the place. The fact that he "looked down" (to use a personal favorite analogy vis-a-vis Wile E. Coyote) is just TOO damn sad, but hey - the lessons of Eden are forever, I suppose...
