  1. Call me an unrepentant rube, but banging on a trash can seems an infinitely more honest way to cheat than this does. Assuming that it's true, and of course it can't be, won't be, never could be ...
  2. Time does weird things. But are they really weird if they happen?
  3. Patti Smith on Morning Joe, pushing her new book of photographs.
  4. Walter Carlos Wendy Liebeman Dave Thomas
  5. I expect to live anyway, though. And I think I'd like to live it away from so much Oscar Peterson, even with his illustrious counterparts on board. If I had not heard as much of those guys as I have, I might be hungry for more, regardless of accompaniment. However, at this point, quality, not quantity. I'll pass, thanks. Oh, Whitney Balliett, not Nat Hentoff, iirc?
  6. I only heard records and they got to me, like, immediately. It all made sense in a way that was, like it says in the Declaration of Independence, self-evident.
  7. Is Oscar Peterson the main pianist on this set?
  8. Danny Tom Porter - I Put That Baby Where I Wanted It!!!
  9. Ulanov loved to explain. Not that he was the only one ..
  10. Bob Berg Don Larsen Otto Link
  11. Randi-Melissa Porter - This Baby's In My Tummy (But You Put It There!!!)
  12. Randi-Melissa Porter - The Natural Facts Of Life
  13. I like those Yoko records better than expected. But once or twice was enough. They do have a good pocket, though. As far as the "noise" stuff goes...whatever. It is what it is, and if seldom it is as good as they thought it waws, seldom is it as "unlistenable"/bad as the virulent dismissers have it. Let me put it this way - I hear what it is that she thinks she's doing... Or put another way - let's all get over all of them.
  14. After a few weeks of immersion in Mimaroglu's straight-up "electronic" music (which is at least as much tape as it is actual electronic), this album pops into place as an organic whole for me like it has always threatened to do. WHOA
  15. As I understand it, this label is possibly not a hardcore bootleg label. They seemingly lease the material from the legitimate owners - who happen to be radio stations/companies. Releases were signed before the broadcasts, so that's their loophole/justification/legality. They definitely have better quality sound than actual bootleg versions of the same materials that I've heard. Bottom line, I think you can have a clear-ish conscience about them, but I would in no way lead with it as supporting evidence to convince god that you played straight all the time in your record buying habits.
  16. Yep. Found the OST record used for not too much a few years ago and carpe diem Ed. It seems to be a stealth Teo Macero project (of which there were more than a few!)
  17. Apparently Sonny almost married a supermodel. And Lucille had been a lifelong Republican. All this just from a random skimming of the middle of the book, which certainly looks to be a worthy proposition of a bigass book indeed!
  18. You choices are mostly sound but...the original LP of the 80s performances was released as God Rest Ye Merry Jazzmen and was really good up until the Wynton cut that closed out Side Two. Side One, with Dexter, McCoy, and Arthur Blythe is actually one hella good LP side, period Not to worry, though. At about the same time. Columbia also reissued the OG Jingle Bell Jazz which was verbatim, except for dropping the Dukes and replacing it with the Herbie cut. The two LPs have given me years of yuletide glee as the two distinctly different records they once were
  19. It's like Dick Hyman or somebody like that back in those days, generic but totally in character. A quick paycheck, keep the customers satisfied I heard it on a Soma FM station, Illinois St. Lounge. Had it on in the background for part of the afternoon and heard three songs off of it during that time. Sounded like B3 to me, actually. The cover is irrelevant. You never know who was really playing on records like this. Whoever it was, they weren't a stranger in town, that's for sure
  20. "Maurice Montez" made a pretty good record, actually Bar jazz
  21. Gotta be a pseudonym, right?
  22. Robin Givens Mike Tyson Ronnie Ball
  23. M. D. Anderson Fred Anderson John Fred
