THAT was what I mean. DOH!

Unless it's blueberries. Or cumin.

here's a record that plays well while it plays.

That's a good thing, too! Too bad about no CD on this new reissue, though. Seems a shame. Accidents do happen, especially with vinyl. Strongly recommend that people who buy this LP make a digital backup ASAP. It's a record that is a member that should not be allowed to get weary.

Is there a way to get over that "Free Trial to Continue Reading" hurdle? I know there's a story there (a few small bits in Joe Goldberg's Jazz Masters Of The 50s), but I know Mark is going to have more than that and I'd love to read it. But no free trials for me, so what's Plan B?

Wow.

Has the CD gone scarce?

A possible two-fer!

I have the OG LP (white label promo bought mint out of some long-gone mom-and-pop and taken good care of) and a CD issue. Why would this be any kind of a meaningful upgrade for me? Serious question. otoh, if somebody isn't yet familiar with this record (especially Side One), here's your change to get right with god.

Too many uncomfortable smiles?

No, that one Venus cover - THAT was disrespecting Charles McPherson. This is just BAU Organissimo Thread Drift. Pretty sure that we all love Charles McPherson, and if I could get one of those Amphicars that could/would make the trip to Bern, yeah, I would do it. Damn straight I would. Would you?

Continental material had a way of turning up on Onyx collections, fwiw. But those are long gone. Those Storyville releases seem to be the most thorough collection to date.

Storyville has a Continental project on Bandcamp, at least. https://storyvillerecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-continental-sessions-vol-1 https://storyvillerecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-continental-sessions-vol-2 https://storyvillerecords.bandcamp.com/album/continental-sessions-vol-3 So it's out there. Three volumes.

Did Buddy Collette have a Kindle that soon before the rest of us?

Pretty damn spunky. Everybody came to play and certainly did. No Headhunters grooves here (althought that would be delightful), just all-in playing. I don't know did this Blueprints of jazz or why, but the three the did (this one, Donald Bailey, and Billy Harper) are all strong. Mike Clark might seem an odd choice, but no! Justified by this record.
