  1. yeah, whatever.
  2. You might well have better luck (and even more free time!) by using Discogs for your "go to" place for images. They will have front and back covers, as well as different versions of the same record. That Spoon album is here: https://www.discogs.com/release/2593513-Jimmy-Witherspoon-Sings-The-Blues
  3. Sister Lisa Bell & Lady Linda Bell - The Clapper Sisters Go To Church One Last Time
  4. Ravi Coltrane Chi Coltrane Chi Chi Rodriguez
  5. "perhaps likely",is a deliciously meaningless meaningfulness
  6. David S. Ware David S. Goyer David S. Pumpkins
  7. You mean like saying that I think he's a coward for not having the guts to do it himself? That's not at all off-handed, that's based on very raw, real experience, but I didn't want to get involved at that level on that thread. On a more serious note, though, my math training (20th century, granted) was that "between" needed to be qualified as either "inclusive" or "exclusive". "Between 90 and 100" inclusive would mean that a 100 yr old would still be a nonagenarian. Wrong. "Between 90 and 100" exclusive would mean that a 90 year old would mean that a 99 year old was not yet a nonagenarian, which would then have you contradicting yourself. I'm afraid that if you are not confused, your statement projects otherwise. I know how much you value correctness and precision, so please take this in the spirit with which it is being offered. How many people are in a nonet? It's a simple matter of etymology Besides, when a person has their first birthday, they are quite literally 1 year old. The have completed 1 year of life. I never got the whole "there was no year zero" thing, that seems like confusion masquerading as cleverness. Time is not a number. So anyway... when somebody turns 90, the have completed 90 years of life. 9_ years = nonagenarian Origin-Latin "nonagenta"= ninety this isn't even a difference of opinion, there are no alternate facts here (or anywhere else for that matter)
  8. That label generally defaults to 10 for me, and Spoon generally does too. Don't think I know this one, actually, but with that lineup (Moody!!!), hey, hard to imagine it being anything else.
  9. That shit swings hard and has no pretensions or ambitions to do anything else. Face value is wonderful when it's a face that is honest, forthright, and countenances a benevolence of spirit Let's not overthink this.. https://youtu.be/QG6QMNLaNlU Any questions? About what? For crissakes, WHY?
  10. Not at all immediately overwhelming, but it's got a helluva lot of staying power for me, maybe because there's no over... ANYTHING. Larry Goldings is a real treat here, but so is Lew Soloff, who between this band and his time with Gil Evans proved to be some kind of stealth MVP. Also...Gary Valente! If every band needs a Bill Harris (and they don't), then here was the one for this one.
  11. Yeah, I took communion with him in church this past Sunday, so there's all the proof you should need about that.
  12. Enja & Steeplechase have both always struck me as lables who came out of the gate strong with a lot of records either by or involving expatiated Americans who carpe-diemed like a mo on the ability to make unfiltered recordings, but then sorta became a pale shadow of themselves as time went on, those people died, and they started having to get people who didn't have that real-time edge in order to continue to create product. No different than the rest of jazz, really, but lord there was a time when both Enja & Steeplechase were dealin'. Inner City was really doing us over here a service by putting their catalogues out. Now, it's kinda like, oh, THEM again. Every so often, one has a little spark to it. Once in a while. Still, getting it going in the first place was a most honorable feat. RIP and much thanks to all of them.
  13. So you don't have any Three Sounds records at all, correct? If so, why?
  14. This set, it sounds like?
  15. aka The CD liner notes paint the picture of Batin as a kind of mysterious shadow figure, a guy who is hard to be seen or found unless and until he decides to be, but hell, look at this band. No mysteries there, and they are all coming to play, John Hicks especially. So, mystery man or not, this music is obviously the/a real deal.
  16. There is one internet radio gadget things that plays Lalo Schifrin in their classical sub-station, Accu-Radio, I believe it is. It appears he has created work for consideration in that area. To me, it still sounds like fleshy film scores, which is not a bad thing, just odd to hear on a :"classical station". Then again, Bernard Herrmann get played on the local classical station once in a while.
  17. Sister Lisa Bell - YOU TURNED MY LIFE AROUND - The Clapper Sings of Jesus
  18. Liking the drum solos and the Bobby Timmons solos, which on occasion go deep. Also liking the packaging which for some reason makes me think of a Limelight job.
  19. Lisa Bell - The Clapper Comes Back!!!
  20. VSP was a bit of a "budget label" for Verve, so...
  21. John Lamb Jeff Castleman Joe Benjamin
  22. Oedipus Ed Sullivan The Old Woman Who Lived In A (Really Big) Shoe
  23. Lisa Bell - The Clapper In The Harsh Light Of Day Live at the breakfast buffet show at the Long Weekend Club, in Bournowt, Ohio. Pretty raw stuff.
