Ok, the last tune, "Big Girls", Stubblefield brings it home,. I'm playing "Shelf or Share" with a couple of boxes of things, and this one was going to be shared until this last cut. Stubblefield is moving it to the shelf!

Probably would have had more enthusiasm about this, like...20 years ago, but still and all, a fine album. John Stubblefield adds value, for sure.

I will, this is a good, engaging collection. I've just been too damn busy to sit down and give full thoughts in a single sitting (which is how I like to do it). Let me say that I do like #11, and it sounds like there's a bit of "modem classical" in the mix in terms of the structure being as controlled as it is. Very interesting!

good booty AND barbeque

Now! Ronnie Boykins, btw.

Two, but not quite IN. Can it be that hard?

That man have two, not one. Why?

Stealth! Odean! Tyrone! Donald-Freakin'-BAILEY!!!!

Ron Plexiglass - The Urinating Dogs of Ron Plexiglass

Also available with pearls! How good is it?

What did the label on that one was?

Perhaps Tyrone Washington is the proverbial "cult hero". If so, then I am a member of that particular cult.

He knew enough to produce a hit record for Esther Phillips! And his playing on Richard Davis's Song For Wounded Knee is something else. And something altogether different.

Engaged!

Because Jackie looks like a goddam ventriloquist's dummy?

Do tell! Where are we getting these here in the US of A?

Oh, you will want to read it. It's deep, seriously deep.

listen to more Mal Waldron records?

The 5th Dimension Carpet Man Harold Robbins

Still a subset of a subset, but here, early on, the boy be gettin' pretty frisky!

I think there are more than two alternative takes. Two is all they've released so far.

IIRC, this was the first record where Sonny had a mike hooked up/on to the bell of his horn so he could walk around while he recorded. Of course, you would hear pad noise and other odd sounds, but oh well. It seems to have unleashed him in the studio that hadn't happened in a loooooong time.

I got the Muse record, took my time listening to it until today, and was pretty much "that's nice" and all that, but then all of a sudden, there's this ballad version of "Whisper Not" that was right. She did one of those tempos that you don't do unless and until you know that you know. Plus, she ain't singing no bullshit singer skate shit. Hell, she covers two Terri Thornton songs. No pandering or otherwise going for that singer okie-doke nonsense. Maybe not the most "compelling" singer ever, but if I was in a club, I'd stick around for two sets, at least The password is "props".
