  1. Here's something that could be released:
  2. Hank Crawford was before Jr. Walker. Hank Crawford is OG. Here's a subjectively sub,ime Crawford Kudu ballad.
  3. A nice mix of Pretty spunky, actually. A nice mix of charts and jams, no coasting, and Chris Woods.. why did Bird never play with Basie in the 50s?
  4. Saying that Hank Crawford favors the SNL sax sound is like saying that Ray Charles favors the Tom Jones vocal approach. Norman Granz as well, albeit several times in several ways.
  5. Listening again to this. Check out a lot of Albert Dailey's comping. Easily translatable to an orchestral concept.
  6. Yeah, we are actually 750 K over. Dividend to be paid EOY.
  7. Freddie's original version on Backlash seems a bit underdone by comparison, imo.
  8. The Tupelo Flyers - Dancing In The Soybean Patch
  9. That seems to have become The Lost Shelley Manner album. It's really good, too.
  10. This right here is a really good record.
  11. Taste, eh, that's been ongoing. What I did learn is that you don't necessarily need a record store to find good records, and even with a record store, always check the cutouts. Always look, never assume. So maybe that's how it affected my taste in music
  12. That's a really good song. Try the Johnny Lytle version with Marvin Cabell, on Milestone. Hell, try the original!
  13. Herbie had a history with Creed Taylor, btw, going back to Verve. What he played on the CTI dates is neither unexpected, unprecedented, not out of line with what he had been playing all along.
  14. Yeah, he dropped a stick, which I guess was not that unusual, and he recovered ok, but it wasn't spunky at all. Like I said, a bit sad. That's one thing that gets me about Buddy Rich, if he ever played tired, I've never seen it. But then again, Buddy Rich was crazy.
  15. How was Payne on those 70s Basie gigs? There's some things on YouTube ca. 1970 of him with Harry James where he seems a bit old and...labored. Kinda made me sad. But maybe it was just that particular night or whatever
  16. They did show the Petrie's bedroom. More than once, actually. They slept in seperate beds, which is a sure sign they were fucking. y'all need to watch more TV show. so hey: what you don't learn from jazz, you can count on TV show & R&B to fill the gaps.
  17. It's the Sound Of Surprise!!!!
  18. Also bought there: A. O. including some of the Crown Maxwell Davis big band tribute records discussed a few months ago. Woody Herman and Charlie Barnett. But those were it as fast as jazz went. Still, an album every few weeks, hey, everything was new and 8 weeks or so was forever. It was downtown Gladewater. I could ride my bike there and back, about 7 minutes each way.
  19. Bought it at a Firestone store, because I 'm a staunch traditionalist. Always have been.
  20. I'm starting to appreciate the little (and they are little) distinctive touches in Nestico's writing. I must be getting daft or something, but I am. Shoot me now, before it gets worse, maybe
  21. Fournier/Nasser piques my interest.
  22. Kinda why I get a Phil Spector vibe out of Creed Taylor...
