Not Ran Blake, correct?

Those Gospel records...they will likely still be found, but generally not in collector's outlets. More like thrift shops or garage sales, and some more than others. It was a large audience, but a very niche audience, if that makes any sense.

Sun Ra - Omniverse (Modern Harmonic)

I don't remember that article, but I do remember thinking that thought no later than 1979 or so...the expression was "I'm too hip to be cool", irony fully intact. Snark used to be cool.

His wife was from San Antonio! Transcontinental! There is a hidden history of America to be found within the Goodson-Todman archives.

These are the ones that I've bought....seems like a lot in one year (for me, anyway) and they've all been good...better than ususal, it seems. Hasaan Ibn Ali, Metaphysics: The Lost Atlantic Album (Omnivore Recordings) Hasaan Ibn Ali, Retrospect In Retirement Of Delay: The Solo Recordings (Omnivore Recordings) Art Blakey, First Flight To Tokyo: The Lost 1961 Recordings (Blue Note) Roy Brooks, Understanding (Reel To Real) Don Cherry, The Summer House Sessions (Blank Forms) John Coltrane, A Love Supreme Live In Seattle (Impulse) Julius Hemphill, The Boyé Multi-National Crusade for Harmony (New World Records) Joe Henderson, Complete Blue Note Studio Sessions (Mosaic Records) Harold Land, Westward Bound (Reel To Real) Lee Morgan, Complete Live At The Lighthouse (Blue Note) Charlie Parker, Bird In L.A. (Verve) Bud Powell, 1962 Copenhagen (Steeplechase)

I hear corporate executives use "cool" in their corporate conversations, so "cool" is no longer cool, imo.

Two sold out shows with the Basie band on Monday, Dec. 20! They played the Meyerson under the aegis of the DSO on Tuesday, Dec. 21. I was kinda planning on going, but not under these conditions. Still, road band! At least at Christmas? At least in Texas?

Holy shit! I just got done watching Jerry Grote's wife play Password with Skitch Henderson and Arlene Francis on Buzzr. She played very well, but never got a Lightening Round. Came very close both times, though. The closed Captioning has her last name as "Groti", but then they asked her what her husband did, and she said he's a catcher for the New York Mets. So, that left just one person playing the game that I knew absolutely nothing about, and he won both rounds. Life is crazy, right?

and that was the difference between his last BNs and his first Milestones - he had a totally together working band and had recorded with it. You can't beat that combination, except for adding the third ingredient of having a hot working band that was recording together that turns people on from every angle. McCoy certainly hit that trifecta!

As long as there's some kind of record, it's not lost. That's why people still go after 78s, 45s, LPs, even, I suppose, cassettes. It's the preservationist instinct.

As I continue to become the oldest person in my current work environment, it has stopped surprising me how many common expressions of as little as 20 years ago now inspire a kind of collective "huh?" I really think that the pervasiveness of (relatively speaking) insular digital communications has led to less general awareness of past slang....it used to be that you couldn't avoid it getting passed down/along just by it being in the air. Now, "in the air" seems to be more "on the phone"....you can't really control what comes into your air, but you can certainly control who comes into your phone.

You got me curious...is this now considered some kind of arcane slang? My dad used it routinely, and he was born in 1918, so I've never NOT heard the word used to refer to alcohol.

Two-handed, totally. Gotta follow them both to get the one. This is another one to live with for a few days. SO much "there" there.

Even if one never listen to that Dodo Greene, one should NEVER discard it

Doesn't Lord sell some kind of database version of his stuff. If I hear you right, you want one list of all product to bump up against a similarly formatted list of you existing collection, right? V-lookup time, right? If you want to keep it super simple, just use catalog numbers, find you matches or misses and then paste in the other relevant data from that site. It's do-able as a project, especially if you have an existing set of data on which to model a new one.

Yeah, get them all into your spreadsheet first. Then you can work on all the rows or columns in as big a chunk as possible. Just watch out for trailing or leading spaces when copying/pasting. That stuff will jack you up in a big hurry This could be fun for somebody wanting to play with Excel, to advance from rudimental or basic level skills to a notch or two higher. I work with people who are true Excel power users, and it's such a powerful tool that the type of stuff we're looking at here is not at all "advanced" - unless you're never done it before. But you can get the answer to damn near any quandary on Google, and after a while... it's fun, if you like it.

Text to Columns, use a Delimited function, and specify "Space" as your delimiter. That will separate everything at once. One thing, though - with stuff like this, work with numbers as text. Remove all variable outcomes, as much as possible. Generally speaking (and with the data I work with, which is not necessarily data such as this), I use text to columns to take everything apart and then use the Concatenate function to put it back into a single cell the way I want it. Using Concatenate, you'll probably find it easier to use a blank row at the farthest right empty cell of your list. But play with that to see what's easiest for you, the user. Again generally speaking, you can find a function/formula that works for you in one row and then drag it down all rows once you get it set up in such a way that that will get you what you want. That's probably not going to be at the beginning of the process, though. Probably easier to use a database program or to get some freakyfast macro writer to make it work quick, but if you're in the mood for old school "under the hood" shit, you can do it. I do something sorta similar when Tommy's Jazz sends out those massive label-catalogue mailing lists to get them queued up in such a way that I can quickishly decide what I already have, what I want, and what I'm gonna pass on. It is more than a bit manual, but I enjoy that type of stuff, so it's fun for me, at least for a while.

No idea what you're working with, but your Text-to-Columns tool might come into play here at some point.

Thank you.

Is he rich or did he get really lucky?

Park the bus and RIP.

It took me a few listens to really get sucked in, but it happened.

Is that Mr. Kullhammer?
