Still my favorite of the bunch...Sonny Phillips on piano and there's farts on one of the tunes, honest to god farts.

Wess & Foster were the two tenors for a good while. Ernie Wilkins played second alto. After he left. Bill Graham took his place. After Graham left, that was when Wesson moved over to alto. The only memorable Wesson alto solo with Basie that I can remember is this one:

Whispering Jack Smith Smilin' Jack Brother Jack McDuff

Mangrove Scuppernong - TV Show!!!

Calvin Trillin Calvin Hill Hank Ballard

Produced by Crud Taylor, how about that?

Yes.

Very Brubeck-y... If there was ever a Brubeck Columbia Live box (and there should be), this would be in it

Bossier St. Pierre - Chigger Bite Boogie

George Rath Keven Bacon The Three Degrees

To do both would have taken 2 CDs though?

In Japan & France: https://www.discogs.com/master/281048-Gil-Evans-And-His-Orchestra-There-Comes-A-Time I prefer the reconfigured version, but if you want the whole potato, you need both. But the original has the better cover, by far. Never really liked those Bluebird covers.

Howdy!

It's one night on a club date. Somebody was late or something, who knows?

It's Kenny Hing who still is a bit nebulous to me. Am I wrong?

Different records. This one has Gary Barone, John Gross, Pete Robinson, and Juni Booth.

Feetle McCord - Momma Dint Take No Baths

I thought it was an interesting premise, not totally unfounded on the realities of today, do to read more, I clicked on the link. Bait and switch.

Oh.

Who is doing the notes on this Hubbard set?

The problem here was less the overall site, but the article itself that was linked to. Calling it a screed is putting it mildly. Like I said, I had to stop reading before getting to the point made in the OP. I thought that that was going to be the focus of the article. It was at best a footnote.

And that dynamic would exist any time that Lockjaw was in the band. Eric Dixon made a wonderful foil. And then, later on Dixon and Jimmy Forrest. For that matter, Foster and Wesson, pretty distinctive. It's having Billy Mitchell in the mix that's a wild card. I know him as a small group player. It's possible for a personality to become diffused playing in a big band, odd as that might sound.

Dude. The article you posted to was a link about some country singer. His wife, his PR form. Some comments that somebody had made, and then a long multi-page rant about cancel culture, censorship, new fascism, the whole grievance litany. I gave up reading before I could find anything about what you said was the point in question. So maybe yeah, stop posting links, just give us the facts, name the names of you like. Just stop posting these links that go to well inside the political rabbit hole These aren't my rules, these are board rules
