  1. Dude, check it out - that "unedited" intro is HIGHLY edited - the first 2 A Sections are dupes of the third (with the last phrase being duped in from ?) - listen for the applause, Powell's chords, and the "unnatural" decay of Max's cymbal crash. Still, the bridge IS totally new to me, so my guess would be that for some reason the first 14 bars were unusable and "they" patched one together from the 3rd A Section and the lst two bars of the 2nd. Just a guess based on a quick listen, but it seems ABOUT right. Thanks indeed - that "lost" bridge is hipper than shit!
  2. I agree! I'd delete it, but it's just TOO bizarre...
  3. Dude, it's unbreakable. I think I just stumbled into a worm hole there for a second.
  4. Just a layman's guess, but I'm thinking that the size of the post was so large that it "swallowed" the remainder of the page in order for it to "survive. I know that when I tried to quote THAT post, I got an error message about too much information or something, and I couldn't get back to the site until I closed out and relinked. Damn, is there anything I CAN'T break?
  5. The accident cannot be duplicated! I think this goes beyond science into the realm of the miraculous. Somebody call the Enquirer.
  6. DUDE! Somehow I captured the BOTTOM OF THE PAGE inside that post. Funny thing is, the buttons and links all work. A cosmic accident to be sure... Is this how Newton discovered gravity, or how Peter Parker discovered Spiderman?
  7. Did Debut ever release the NON-overdubbed version for public consumption, even briefly, before issuing the overdubbed version? Was this first released as two 10" LPs? Seems like it was, but that was before my time and I'm wondering if that's a false impression I got. That's wild about the missing beginning of "Perdido". I just assumed that the tape got turned on a bit late and they faded in at the earliest opportune moment. Never dreamed that 3/4 of the opening chorus was there to be had.

    HA!

    A brief, low-fi, RealPlayer sample http://sandbox.pair.com/sound/starkreality..._saybrother.ram
  10. I see they've found a way to automate Dianne Warren...
  11. Well, I daresay that not having any Louis, or just some sort of sampler, in a collection is probably more common these days than might be thought, and this is as good a place to start as any, since it's marvellously "hi-fi" AND totally kickass musically (but you're going to HAVE to get the Hot Fives & Sevens eventually. You just are!). Yeah - the CD bonus material is fascinating, notably the cuts where you get to hear Louis the bandleader in action, rehearsing some things and structuring the routines for recording purposes . So much for the myth of the "naive genius" - this guy knew EXACTLY what he wanted and how to get it. And, again, GREAT liner notes. And yeah, the alligator story is almost worth the cost of admission alone!
  12. Red was kind enough to ask me to select the next album of the week, and my response was, "I'm sure I can think of SOMETHING" Well, I could, and I did. Many things. In fact, TOO many things. I wanted to dip into something that I felt "essential" in some form or fashion, yet something that was not overly familiar, something that might stimulate some people to check out something a little different than their usual bag(s), something, like BLACK MARKET, that stepped outside the "usual" music discussed in this great forum. Which way to go? Warne Marsh? Albert Ayler? Anthony Braxton? Lester Young? A vocalist? Brian Wilson? Gospel? Blues? Maybe even a COMEDY record? Who? What? When? Where? WHY? ????????????????????????????? Finally, I decided to go where any good jazzman goes when he/she needs a simple yet profoundly true answer - Louis Armstrong. Therefore, my selection for Album Of The Week for June 1 - 7 is LOUIS ARMSTRONG PLAYS W.C. HANDY (click here to buy) Simply put, this is, in my mind, one of the greatest jazz records ever, as well as one of the better reissues. If you only have the earlier CD, the ill-fated one with the "drum major" cover, treat yourself to the later issue. It's true to the original LP, has a wealth of priceless new material, sounds freakin' GREAT, and the liner notes tell a story (or two!) that you'd not believe if you heard it from anybody else. As good a major-label single disc package as there is, in my opinion, in terms of presentation. As for the music itself... If you don't have this album at all, get it A.S.A.P. and B.A.M.N.. Trust me, it IS that good. If your impression of Louis Armstrong is still that of an sweaty old man with a handkerchief singing "Hello Dolly" and/or an aging manchild who "naively" sang "What A Wonderful World" at the height of the Vietnam conflict, or even as a once bold firebrand who somewhere in the 1930s settled into a comfortable, nice-but-not-too-involved routine, YOU NEED TO HEAR THIS ALBUM! Hell, EVERYBODY needs to hear this album! Great band too. Maybe not the dazzling array of "name brands" of the Hines/Teagarden/Cattlett/etc. years, but whoopdee-damn-doo about that. Dig THESE players - funky-ass Barney Bigard on clarinet, the consistently invigorating Trummy Young on (do I have to tell 'ya? ), Billy Kyle on piano (Young & Kyle were both pivotal "swing-to-bop" musicians, something largely forgotten today but worth remembering if you listen to this album and find it "traditional" but still vaguely "modern" at the same time), the recently deceased Arvell Shaw on bass (and playing with a great big, old school, FULL sound that is marvelously captured), the irrepressible Barrett Deems on drums, and the warmly warm, nothing if not down home Velma Middleton on sometimes vocal. Nobody's slacking, everybody's in the peakest of their peak form, and if "St. Louis Blues" doesn't rock your world like getting hit in the face by a steel beam swinging into your face from across the street (only in a GOOD way. of course...), then I just don't know what to say. Hope y'all dig it!
  13. Much props to my homie Hank, and no dis intended, but it's CHARCOAL all the way for me. Did a brisket, burgers and dogs yesterday as a matter of fact, and will probably do some ribs the next week or two. Just curious - do other parts of the country have a cut of ribs called "country style"? These babies have next to no bone, and are essentially rib STEAKS, that's how big amd meaty they are. Tender too! My kids have gotten spoiled now and won't eat anything else, which is fine with me, because they're a lot cheaper than babyback or other "rack"-style ribs.
  14. Sorry, I misread the date and thought that it was AOW when I posted. My bad... And hey - what I say is just what I think/feel. There are no "rights" or "wrongs" or whatnots when it comes to your feelings about music. Nobody, NOBODY, can "say it all", and if you feel it and say it, it's as meaningful as anything anybody else says! If any of my posts get somebody to think a bit harder than they might have elsewise, to dig a little deeper into themselves and maybe get a better grip on things they might have had inside all along, then good! But if my posts "intimidate" (PLEASE note the quotes) or otherwise discourage discussion, then that's a BAD thing, and definitely something I don't want to be responsible for in ANY degree. Besides, when it comes to music the magnitude of that Massey Hall album, there are NO words that can adequately describe it - we're ALL gonna come up short! :D
  15. Have you considered podiatral amputation? A bit extreme perhaps, but hey - problem solved!
  16. I got a passport, a band, and an axe. Who could ask for anything more?
  17. "...and CDRs too! Or so it seems," he said with a mixture of surprise, delight, and bewilderment, remembering the piece he cowrote for a locally-produced jazz album about 20 years ago that supposedly became #1 in then-Yugoslavia, and for which he has still yet to receive a penny, much less a dime ("Not that ANYBODY has, necessarily, but who knows? Not me, that's for damn sure," he mused.) Ah to hell with it (for now...). Book a tour, pay expenses, let some cash exchange hands, and it's all good. Almost...
  18. JG, dude, if you want cut-and-dried with all the answers in advance, don't mess with no jazz.
  19. SAY WHAT?????
  20. Here's your secret weapon, right here:
  21. Yep, I know the LP as well and echo Lon's comments. The tunes are a bit shorter than I'd like, but that's the Capitol Control at work no doubt. The actual playing is indeed fine. You can hear an elongated (9 minutes, and sans Lloyd at that!) version of "Fiddler on the Roof" (the song) on RADIO NIGHTS, available now on Hyena. Fiddler or no, that's a good one to get too.
  22. Dude - let her buy you the shoes, and try them on. OOPS - they don't fit just right, gonna have to take them back and exchange them, never mind honey, I'll do it myself, you stay here and rest. Whilst out, RETURN the shoes, and with the credit, buy the box set, placing it in the shoe box for the return home (gives the term "box set" a whole 'nother dimension, eh?). Postpone wearing the new shoes, insist on waiting for "the right moment". When she gets TOO suspicious, fess up, and everybody have a laugh. She's GOTTA love you, ya' big lug! Trust me, this'll work like a charm, or else my name's not Millard P. Fillmore!
  23. As for the box, a buddy of mine bought it, and then for grins (this is the kind of creative soul he is) ripped it to his hard drive, put the whole set into a jukebox program, set it to random play, and then reburned the output, after which he put THOSE results through another program to make smooth crossfades between tracks and to perform other audio niceties. The result is a set of about 12 or so CDs of Miles concerts from Montreux, none of which occurred as represented on his remix discs - the different bands from the different years appear side by side seamlessly, and truthfully, it succeeds splendidly in a way that the documetary approach of the actual box might not (haven't heard it yet in its "natural" state, so I can't say). Heard like this, I have no qualms about the music whatsoever! I'd buy it for the right price (which these days would be, like, "free or less"). I like what Miles was up to in these years - having a pretty much unabashed pop show of a band. If its not "cutting edge" in any way, its still the Miles esthetic at work, and there were no slouches in those later bands, that much is for sure. And Kenny Garrett CONSISTENTLY smokes.
