Definitely!

Well, it's not their property, remember. It's their music but it's not their property.

I'll be back with detailed responses, but on first listen, I heard Erick Kloss/Booker Ervin, Kenny Garrett, Sam Rivers, and, I think, Buddy Terry?

I left mine coverless, figured they had been covered up long enough.

Yes, congrats. ALWAYS good to see cats getting paid real money for real work!

The answer, then, is yes, he did.

I had it on a Columbia 4 eye, an experiment where one channel was mono the other one stereo.

Train Wreck is better than we've been led to believe. but this other one, the Jackie session....the big "hmmmm…." factor for me there is Norman Connors...probably waaaaay over his head at that time and in that company. I would like to hear it, but would I pay for it as a standalone session? hmmmm…

Jackie's Train Wreck Bag!

It's the people playing today that will (or will not) leave "heritage" for tomorrow. IMO, the more they can create rather than re-create, the more likely to succeed than not they will be. Unless, of course, we brainwash enough people - players and civilians alike - into thinking that there is only "one way" to do this thing. "Core curriculum"...that's like "canon", a trailing indicator, and at what point of the dog chasing its tail does the dog catch it? And then what? The dog is fucked, that's what!

"core curriculaum" to me translates as THIS is what EVERYBODY needs to know because it is EVERYBODY'S heritage. "Heritage" to me means yes, this is in your background, you, everybody, and anything else is supplemental. And clearly, it's not. I reject the notion, implicity, immediately, and totally. Exposure is one thing, brainwashing, something else entirely. Again - WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE A JAZZ IMPORVISOR? If you have to relay on a "core curriculum" to tell you that, maybe do something else with your life, seriously. You know what the "core curriculum" ought to be? Getting you and a buddy's ass into an inherited Vette and then driving cross-country to pick up gigs in whatever town you're in and interacting with the locals. Do this until you get cancelled, and THEN start trying to play in school. Just decide in advance which one of you is going to be called "Buz" because you're the only one that's going to make it all the way through.

I posted that in the context of this thread to show that there are other "standards" in jazz than those of GAS Inc. That bunch just ain't gonna let it go, ever...except maybe when/if it all goes PD, and even then, I bet they find a way. And also, I think it's pretty funny that Air got this stuff together while working as a pit band!

Plenty!

Discogs sometimes adds a layer of complexity that is not necessarily necessary: https://www.discogs.com/artist/4875690-The-Gene-Russell-Trio There's also this one: and if you're thinking that either one of these might not be an immediate priority to discover,,,,I'd concur with that, 100%!

It's almost like Joe did the Contemporary album, and then for whatever reason and said fuck this, I'mma gonna make my own record and see what happens.

And probably just as many who will be on any range of behavior depending on the situation. Plenty of variables, and just because somebody is nice to you one time doesn't mean he's going to be nice to everybody always.

Joe was emerging from his "low profile" period...him and Chick worked many times after this, and probably should have prior, but when a guy is holed up in SF doing...whatever he was doing... Ron & Billy, not a common team, but there's certainly no reason for that other than producer's choices. Ron can play with anybody (when he wants to), and Billy gonna be Billy, always. Producers can create "images" that don't always jibe with a bigger, braoder reality. Producer's choices, yea, that's why I like that record better than this one: and look, Joe produced his own MPS record, just a few months after that contemporary record. So...artist's choice!

That's a good record...came out around the same time as Relaxin' at Camarillo...I like this one more. It seemed that MPS didn't have good distribution in these parts at the time...I picked it up the first time I saw it, but that was the only time I saw it! People were asking me WOA WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?!?!?!?!?! and I was like, uh, at the record store?

I think I can do September, please.
