Love that Baby Elephant Walk.

I'm only 66, so leave me a forwarding address, ok?

Easy enough! I started reading the Amy C. Beal book about Carla Bley and she talks about "Ida Lupino" (which pretty much everybody knows, including me) and its "odd musical mirror image "Oni Puladi"...which I knew nothing about. My bebop chops are getting rusty, and it took me at least 30 seconds to figure out to, duh, just read it backwards. But where to hear this composition? These days,. You Tube or else maybe it didn't happen? So... In which the poster was nice enough to include the link not only to the KE cut (said to have been arranged by Bley herself!) but this nifty nugget: Along the way, I located a still-surviving blogged lo-fi Jazz Realities. Once again, the internet has been my friend, nothing asked except curiosity, nothing given except kindness. Let the Free World ever keep it so.

Oh my...

Is this leading to an article about the importance of producers? It certainly could.

For real, aren't we talking about a really sizable percentage of all jazz records ever?

This is a really good record

He was their mascot, right? #backofsavoyrecord

The red cover, yeah!

Codaryl?

Mine is the one with "Diane" on it, whichever one that was. The way Coltrane comes in...at that tempo, it's just slow enough that every sense of the body and mind goes along with it on a more or less palpable way, like slowly ripping a band-aid off, only with pleasure rather than pain being the result. And then Red lets his thing happen naturally...you know what I would pay 40 bucks for, hell even 100 bucks for, would be an IV drip that could create that total sensation any time I wanted it for as long as I wanted it THAT would be money well-spent, imo. Until then, hell, I got records and I got my mind and I got memories to process. Use as needed, when/if needed.

At this point, I'm content to listen to it every few years and be glad/thankful that it happened like that. If/when that changes, then...I don't know what. "Better sound" won't help then, I'm afraid

It's still the same notes, right? How much better does it have to "sound" before you get it? I get that "sound quality" is a hobby in itself, but Jesus, this record...people have heard it, learned it inside out (as players and as listeners), had their lives changed by it, got about proceeding accordingly, and then eventually died. And those that haven't yet, will. All without having heard these exact notes in "better sound". This is old (in most every sense of the word) music. No amount of " better sound" will make it anything but. Remember that.

Hill's music was not something to be easily negotiated by typical pickup groups.

Recorded for later release?

He came to play. RIP

Never less than interesting, and often enough pretty damn fine.
