Tony Soprano Jimi Tenor Ralph Bass

The Rajah Roger Clemens Rougie Odour

Sometimes, on tenor, Moody is sounding like he's locked in mortal combat with Lockjaw as to whose tenor this is that's being played.

I got them both from the Golden Age Of Blog...they are both nice. But both "productions" to varying degrees. Sebesky on Night Song, Johnny Pate on Asphalt Canyon Suite. They're both "better" if you listen past the backgrounds, but sometimes the backgrounds are actually...contributative to the mood. I think they would both fit on one CD, though, and given the prices relative to the overall productions, I'd feel a lot better about getting them like that. But Burrell himself is at the peak of his soulful, public appeal self. It's playing like this that got him that gig for the Schlitz Malt Liquor radio ad.

Minton's, Monroe's Uptown House, Basie's (pretty sure he was the manager of the place, iirc), a guy with a proven track record for doing that type of thing. Lockjaw would have undoubtedly known him well, but... Who else is left from the days of that circuit? I would hate to depend on Schaap as a single source, just because...who else is still alive and worked Harlem clubs regularly? Kinda gives me a shudder that I can't think of anybody offhand...

Exactly. And I do worry about oversupply, vaccines going to waste due to oversupply relative to demand at the current time. Corporate inefficiency, or not. I love my local Kroger pharmacy peoples, but this type of thing...lord only knows what factors were involved and why. Bottom line, people just need to get their shots where they can, when they can, And if they don't they should be locked up in interment camps until the threat has subsided. History shows that's the American way, right?

Thanks. I was hoping for something more meaty, though. That guy was a fixture at running clubs during some really important years.

I was in Kroger yesterday to pick up a prescription and the pharmacist told me to tell anybody/everybody that they had vaccine on hand and available for walk-ups. Not that sounds good, and it is, but...Kroger had be advertising "availability at selected locations" for several months now and it's just now getting out there for general availability. So people went elsewhere, I'm sure. I know I did.

Not to sidetrack the thread, but how much documentation is there on Clark Monroe?

Yeah, it's wild, Moody ripping like Tab and/or Willie Smith on some things, honking on others, BirdBop always....he sounds pretty howl-y, actually. Strong stuff and not always "pretty". In fact, almost never pretty, actually. It's deeper than pretty.

Oh my!

Ok, who was Steve Pulliam? Like we've said before, you can't unsee or unlearn this stuff... Anything in the Chicago Defender?

Oh, you're looking into African-American newspapers now? God's work continues to call.

The horse have done left that barn, indeed. So it has been beaten, no sense in deadening it.

The correct expression is "THAT horse done left the barn".

Good enough record, but hardly a "durable classic" either. Can't go wrong with Moody, but there are some records that you can go right with than others. Still, Warner Brothers probably paid him well (enough), and there certainly was a budget here. The man deserved all of that. Also, this is one of those annoying records where they put the blingy stuff up front and the meatier stuff after. If anybody does this one, stick it out. Moody come through.

Jeez, now I feel like ordering the set just to counter that bizarre two-star review.

Such a life...RIP.

Vernard Johnson was a "local sensation" before breaking through to a broader Gospel Audience. I think/hope I still have my copy of this, his second album, from 1974: They used to play this one on the radio, Sunday mornings: in context: Just remember, Johnson is not inventing any of this...I went to high school with an alto player who wanted to be Cannonball, but couldn't help but sound like this. It's a whole stream of sound-consciousness that permeates a lot of music, even to this day. Listen to Wilton Felder with this factor in mind....what some people hear as one thing, people who wh have different exposures will hear as something else altogether. and probably not of any interest here, but....Kirk Whalum. Yes, it's a Dianne Warren song. And yes they're in a church. And yes, it "sounds like" Smooth Jazz". But maybe if you come from a different place, "Smooth Jazz" is not a phrase that means anything to you, maybe it means nothing at all.
