Listen to what's good for you, the song says.

This record changed my whole life, no exaggeration. https://www.letras.com/eddie-palmieri/oyelo-que-te-conviene/english.html

A true giant has left us. Left us behind, yes. But also left us an incredibly rich and varied legacy. https://www.npr.org/2025/08/06/1197084433/eddie-palmieri-latin-jazz-legend-has-died

To get paid, for one thing.

Up 22 years later. Vintage has expanded in the interim! My most recent excursion was the four seasons of The Joey Bishop show, which was....a trip. 4 seasons, two networks, 3 casts, and 4(?) premises. Today's critics find it an abomination, but I watched in fascination as a lot of the old-time bit players shower up regularly and did their old-time shtick at what was rapidly becoming the end of an era.

Any further activity around this film now that Lewis has passed on?

The Carter set is only 2 CDs, which allow for extra listens. I normally do two listens to a disc before moving on, but sometimes something get stuck in the head and stays in for a while. This one definitely is sticking, just because there's so much MUSIC in each quartet. So as an adjunct, I downloaded the Walden Quartet's recording of #1, a landmark 1st recording in my opinion, from the Internet Archive and mix it in with my Juilliard listening. Very "helpful" actually, because the Walden recording is in glorious old-school Mono, so the soundstage is VERY flat (and full). This allows for full, almost immediate, discernment of everything that's going on. So when returning to the Juilliard takes, which are totally Modern Digital, the ear is more attuned to the multi-level reality of the music. Probably going to stay on the Carter for the rest of this week. It's certainly not boring music!

I'll go to the mat for that record. But a lot of people don't like it so much.

Alexis is from Dayton!

For Losers is one of the great adult darkness concept albums ever. Like Only The Lonely for trapped Black Jazz Musicians.

Indeed. Even in a very, VERY strong run, this one stands out for me The older I get, the more I realize just how much of a TOTAL badass Coleman Hawkins was, and not just about music. Like, how much of a badass about life he had to be to get to be that much of a badass in music. Not always true for everybody, and more true for Hawk than for many!

Mine as well, at least from his first period. Also On This Night. That one maybe gets underappreciated. Most of them have actually held up really well though. However...Fire Music and Four For Trane might be of more historical importance than Shepp importance once his pre-Impulse work gets familiar?

Models ain't always purty, and gambling is no longer for me. But you know what that Price Is Right TV show has models and they ALWAYS be purty. Even Devin and James which imo takes some doin. Not so the contestants though. That quality has deteriorated greatly. Them people ain't kookin healthy too often. But Drew Carey looks great still! Not purty, but healthy, which I suppose is the purtiest of all purtys!

That guy was a badass. RIP

So no purty girls on the TV Show?

Is them the purty girls TV show?

Horace Tapscott played trombone here.

No, that was the last record by the "old" group, the chamber group with cello. Forgot about that one, probably because it's not a favorite. But those others...yeah! I like to tell people "don't sleep on Chico Hamilton!" That guy is deeper than a casual listen suggests, if only for the drumming itself.

Hopefully you have the other Hamilton records with Lloyd. Same thing there, only not nearly all. It's ALL. Except, of course, for the standards, where there are any.

That i don't know. It's been years since I looked at it, when Lacy was alive still. I suppose I would recommend just poking around the different links and see what happens. There seem to be a lot of ways to go.
