  1. Oh my...I already knew that one from Burnt Weenie Sandwich...I can't imagine that song without Ian Underwood's piano into and Sugarcane Harris' violin break... I like the Flo & Eddie band more than many, but for that song...that was THE Mothers, imo. Every band after that was a Zappa band called the Mothers. Tel you what I hear...any number of trad drum solos/breaks that go "ringtailmonkeywiththePOPityPOP..." at some point...once heard, neer forgotten!
  2. Sorry, but the entertainment appeal of Thugocracy has dimmed for me. Used to be a fun fantasy...but fantasy come true is nightmare, more often than not.
  3. So, we have an inter-species breeding fetish, animal abuse from careless toxic waste disposal...what else we got goin' here?
  4. In these days, I'd settle for some good old-fashioned mail order! Dusty Groove is a store, right?
  5. when he was alive, the printed word. and he had a Sonny Rollins tune naed after him, although a few decades later there would also be one called "Times Slimes" about that erstwhile publication's coverage of the crime issues of the day. So, I guess he got it while the getting was good.
  6. Have you looked on Discogs? There was a German CD issue 10+ years ago. Liable to be pricey if it's there...
  7. Yikes! Faddis doesn't really matter to me (never did, really, once getting past the whole "WOW, he's a kid and he plays JUST LIKE DIZZY!!!" thing...that was a thing in real-time, that hype was. But I guess he's now long been a proven lead player, and there's no shame in that! The world needs more real, true lead players, for every section. Nothing worse than some "project" coming together and it's all (at best) section players with no lead players. Is Handy still active? Wishing them all continued happiness in this realm. And hoping the others are finding happiness in whatever realm(s) they find themselves in now.
  8. This one looks interesting...anybody ever hear it? https://www.discogs.com/Attila-Zoller-Katz-Maus/release/13723195
  9. oops! And I'm thankful about that.
  10. See, you introduce horselove into intimate relationships, discombobulation is all but inevitable
  11. John S Wilson https://www.nytimes.com/1974/01/21/archives/pop-music-a-medallion-too-for-ella-fitzgerald-minguss-jazz-friends.html?searchResultPosition=1 Mingus's Jazz Friends Join Him at Carnegie In “An Evening With Charles Mingus and Old Friends” at Carnegie Hall on Saturday night, Mr. Mingus, a powerful creative force in jazz during the nineteen‐fifties and early sixties, was upstaged not only by his old friends but even by his relatively new friends. Mr. Mingus's current quintet, which opened the program, was unable to capture any of the identifiable Mingus characteristics. Instead, once past theme statements, the group rattled off colorless solos. The quintet showed real cohesion and development only on “Big Alice,” a composition by Don Pullen, the group's pianist, which had drive, color and imagination. His “old friends”—Rahsaan Roland Kirk, John Handy and Charles McPherson—came out in the second half to join Mr. Mingus's regular saxophonists, George Adams and Hamiet Bluitt, in a “battle of the saxes.” This turned out to be a revival of those long‐winded, successions of solos that passed for jam sessions at Jazz at the Philharmonic Concerts 20 years ago. Instead of Illinois Jacquet turning the audience on by honking, as once was the case,, Mr. Kirk's flooding clusters of hard, incisive notes was the stimulant, which, at least, was an improvement. JOHN S. WILSON 50 years has passed, everybody has died, we all know what lie ahead, etc etc etc, so nostalgic reveries are certainly allowable, perhaps unavoidable. But I still don't hear Bluiett playing Mingus Music as much as I hear him playing Bluiett Saxophone on top of Mingus Music. And George Adams...almost there, about to get there. So that's not the review I would have written (for one thing, Don Pullen was already ALL the way there and should have been noticed!), but...I get at least the general real-time gist of it. I think Mingus did too, at least the part about the quintet. That jam-session stuff, hey, John s Wilson. What can you say? One of those critics who had a niche and thought it was the universe.
  12. Attempted to teach us...we have not been a particularly attentive class.
  13. Deep. No doubt a total projection, but the way they play this stuff, the way they play the interior harmonies so that it doesn't just go from point A to point B, it hits all the sub-points inside...it reminds me of early Ornette, it's got that kind of freedom about going places and getting there any damn way he (Brahms) wanted to. So...people do this, don't they, no matter how or from where, people eventually figure out that there's more than one way to get there, from Point A to Point B.
  14. Besides, Comet's not really a horse.
