Yeah, that's what it was/is really for. That's what any of them should be for

It's a "jazz education" book from a very particular point in time. It was not and is not a general listening guide for civilians, then or now.

Not supposed to, but it is a vocal on a Messengers record! And then there's this, sort of...

But he made the AllTime Hall Of Fame GREATEST Stalker Song EVER!!! Creepiness aside, I like this early period of him a lot. Very hip.

"had to"??? LOL.

I'd like to hear more Katherine Balch!!!!

Why? The first fake book I got when I got to NT (Fall 1974) perfectly (more or less...) reflected the esthetic of that discography. Bebop had yet to become the music of the future. A LOT of shit was OOP. Aebersold was still looking for traction. Jerry Coker's book was kinda "advanced" for what it represented. And yes, all those George Russell records. Meet the David Baker influence via the Aebersold clinics and elsewhere. Nobody was teaching the LCC, but David Baker was heavy teaching George Russell. Oh yeah, I had a bit of infamy in 1974 for having a "lot" of Sonny Rollins records, ANY Lester Young records, and WTF is up with this Archie Shepp guy you like so much?

You need to remember who Jerry Coker was, the time at which his book was written, and for whom it was written. It was pre-Real Book, pre Jazz Education explosion, pre a LOT of things. Different landscape. Totally different landscape.

Cohita de la Coy - Preparar!!!

Rat Pack, Season 1

And the ABC record was rereleased on impulse! Znot too far after.

It is. And fwiw, it came to World Pacific from Japanese Victor.

Not in the least bit disappointing.

Largely disappointing.

The world is full of clueless people, many of them of their own volition. Anyway, Oliver evolved...

From the almost sublime to the certainly ridiculous. Two examples of the former:

Whistle me up a memory Whistle me back where I want to be Whistle a tune that will carry me To Tombstone Territory If your past has run afoul of the law It's a handy place to be cause your future's just as good as your draw In Tombstone Territory Whistle me up a memory Whistle me back where I want to be Whistle a tune that will carry me To Tombstone Territory M

Do you know for a fact that Moran is functioning in a vacuum and only having an interior monologue to reach his conclusions, not engaging with other sources/resources, or does it just seem that way to you!

Mono For the quiet side of TTK, maybe. I hear so many singers of every ilk who don't have impeccable pitch and breath control that to hear one that does is a treat on its own terms! Oh, Billy Byers
