Ah, Edison. ever defiant!

Twitter dismay...is that any different than Twitter aggression, or Twitter joy, or Twitter...anything? Twitter is not a long game. It's a bright shiny object. At best, like, if your gig got moved up an hour or something, oh, good, thanks for letting us know Long game.

I'm sure some do, and that some don't. Follow the anthropology/archeology.

It depends on who's doing the calling...pretty sure that to him it's just basic/documented known history. Don't try to bring him into a 3D reality, that's not where he lives.

He's doing an interview with the Grammy-site. He's speaking ignunt-consumer jargon. Because if he spoke like he usually does, he would not get that much print space - knowing his audience! The guy plays the longest of games, always has, probably always will. If he hooks anybody on a single "point", mission accomplished. There's plenty more of them if you want them, and if you don't, at least remember the name, pass it on to your kids. He will NOT be one of the many names conveniently lost from history at the first opportunity to formulate the "Conventional Wisdom" narrative.

Tradd Drumphill - Ringtail Monkey with the Poppity-Pop (Gonna Put It Down Front Where The Money Don't Stop) Not at all what I was expecting....it's old school rap over tradjazz samples...and it works! That last part is the part I wasn't expecting, I mean, the cover speaks for itself. Straw hats, corney vests (and nothing else) on ample booties, hey, what else could it be?

Quartette Trés Bien...one of those bands of the time that is neither as square as its detractors would have it nor as hip as its adherents would do the same. If you're looking for a maybe(?) melding of ramsey Lewis & Ahmad Jamal, here is one place it could be. They're worth knowing about, at the very least. The Internet was my friend about this...

They haven't changed, really. He's still against anything that looks at "history" (which is really to say, time) from a fixed-lens perspective. Read it from that perspective, and note how he talks about "these things" having been resolved a long time ago...which means, yes, racism and other theft-mechanisms and the intellectual diversionism/divisionism by all parties in response to same...known quantities, nothing new here. So don't think he's letting anybody off the hook, here. He's just saying that it's revisiting old truths and looking to avoid moving forward from them. And THIS time, it 'wokeness" falling into the trap. AB was an original Wokeman!

whoa-HO! Purchased as an afterthought (ok, why not have it on CD too?), just became more essential!

Grasping at straws here...fellow Bostonian Alan Dawson? Tony Williams? or not that type of connection? Spectacular indeed!

The same guy doing the same thing, right? Just that one's in color?

have your mono switch handy. As to why this has never been put on CD in this fashion...no idea.

Or Atlantic!

They (Prestige) were really adept at repackaging every few years, so a kid like me could thumb the racks in , say, 1972, and not feel like i was getting some old leftover record, but instead the latest version, with current liner notes. An occasional new alternate included, or, like the Miles 12/24 session, combining what had been spread over more than one record into one. And then OJC came along an old leftover records cam back in fashion again, old leftover liner notes and split sessions and all....

Yeah, I remember that cut, they saved the one "real jazz" cut for last, like, ok, this last one is for us (and for all the longer time fans). Bruce Johnstone always came to play!

Because they hadn't done this yet?

What was your impression of that one? I was following Maynard in real time back in the day (jazz-rock/horn bands/high school stage bands all at once, it was like the early AACM days of self-discovery for clueless white teenagers...but at least for some of us it was an entry ramp onto a much bigger, longer, and meaningful road into...everything else), and this one seemed like it had passed a point of no return in terms of "show" vs "go". But then he kep crossing that line further and further. Maybe with hind sight this one would be less egregious than it seemed at the time? Maybe? Or maybe this is one to give to Lot's wife?

Celeste Quartet, long familiar. The other stuff, not so much. Delights abound, not the least of which is Harry Carney at times getting downright...sexually intercoursal in his phrasing, if not his tone. People's impulses never change, but as the sensual stimuli of their environments change, so does the expressions. People can't play lise this any more without faking it, and this music is in no way fake!

Is Chewy doing cylinders now? I thought it was just 78s.

A standing ovation for Billy Harper any time, but especially now. And maximum benevolent mental energies to go with it. Nothing but love for Billy Harper!

Then there's this.... https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/texas-covid-hospitalizations-delta-variant/287-5c57394a-4972-4626-90b3-1526e087a1cc

I traded "vaccine distribution" for "vaccine resistance" to formulate my answer on Question 1. For #2, I took whatever they had as soon as they had it and called me in to get it.
