After they do Bill Barron, they can look at a Coleman Hawkins 60s set....and a Max Roach 60s set. Or if they need to, both of those in one box. Hey.

oh boy! But seriously, they can do impulse! now? That raises some interesting possibilities...

I had the same thought... I like Mulligan's clarinet sound too. Like his bari sound, except on a clarinet.

Cool me out Vicks! Chesterfield done gave me the nagging cough. I like them LA dancers.

Cool me off, Chesterfield!

Ok, let me recommend something I would never recommend unless it was REALLY unique. Make no mistake, this is a Lyle Mays album, 100%. They literally turned the band over to him to make this record The results? Meh on the solos, there is no real pocket (how could there be) but the charts are a wonder, probably the first of its kind (and maybe the last?). Lyle left Denton to go on the road with Woody Herman, and we were all waiting for the next "great" Woody Herman record courtesy of Lyle Mays, but it never came. And Lyle never really wrote for big band again. The reason? The grapevine had it that his charts were too difficult for a road band with only some stable personnel to perfect. This was reality, college was not. With that in mind, I say on all seriousness that the greatest big band of the last quarter of the 20th century might well have been Weather Report. There's a reason a certain type of writer gravitated to electronics. Color and control of outcome. If you really want to get geeky about, this a good read: https://www.lylemays.com/lab75 :

Love that record. "Blues For 007" is an ultimate. Once again, fuck those clowns.

What would they couple(?) it with?

Hello!

Catching catfish by hand. It's a thing. I understand the appeal, but I'll be damned if I ever even think about doing it. Maybe on or at the top of avoidable sports injuries is getting barbed by a catfish that's not on a hook.

Yes, hopefully.

Get out and meet the youngsters. Wear your T-Shirt to show them that you're hip, and then ask them to go running with you or something.

cn hz link plz?

Hopefully that's what it was.

I wanna be like you when/if I grow up.

I think Uniglo would appreciate it if all the old fat white guys would stop accosting their youthful clientele about their product.

aka in the usa Looks like Teo had an in to Laurie, he also did two Lionel Hampton records for the label. The Foster album is pretty good, actually. "of its time" in a very good way. Michael Brecker in particular sounds more uninhibited than usual.

Ok, these things are getting common. Time to implement the back-cover-on-the-back-of-the-shirt plan.

Napping?

a chitter-chatter tenor platter, some good talk-about things.

Hell, it's a bright, full orange, what's not to like? Now we need a similar shirt for Dippin'.

Pharoah was popular back in the day as well. Karma was a bit of a crossover hit, at least in my experience. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma_(Pharoah_Sanders_album)

Truthfully, I find it next impossible to think of Ellington as a "big band".

There's a few really good Maynard records from that time, the MF Horn series. Great band, great energy, and charts that didn't back down from the challenge of having an audience-facing repertoire. But that stopped. Boo. Poor Don Ellis, never could make up his mind...but there are some really good Don Ellis records. Goofy, but seriously good records. No idea what they got rid of in Minneapolis, but my hunch is that the people who got rid of the records had no idea of what they were buying to begin with. So often, that's how it goes
