Here, it's a word that is used by some people who don't want to take responsibility for their own bad behavior, Kinda like these guys:

Right, but I think he then used it as the band name. Seems I've seen that somewhere/a few times over the years. It's a good, descriptive, and very marketable name. And a damn good record!

"The Heatin' System" was McDuff's band's name for a while, wasn't it?

Hey, it's Dodo Greene. If you have to ask, don't!

So far, that's right.

Bill Barron's widow appears to have tapes...just sayin'...

I want to see the Davis operas performed, not just presented. It's "different" for me, to say the least, but I could see really enjoy getting immersed in it live.

UH-oh!!!!

It's like Columbus in reverse - New World has discovered a shorter route to US!!!!

Ordered Thursday afternoon, arrived today (Monday afternoon) - via Media Mail!!!!! From Brooklyn to Plano via Media Mail in < 96 hours. That's the damndest thing I've seen in ages. amazing!

Harry Caul like a mo!

I tried with "Y Not" and you see where that's gone. Maybe "Q" can get it done, that guy appears to get people to believe any damn thing.

In order to form a more perfect union, it should be.

...about preferring the "earlier titles"...not sure about that for me...Black Market is probably my favorite record of theirs's, Heavy Weather is pretty damn cohesive, like an Ellington record, really/sic. I can and do frequently pretend that Mr. Gone and 8:30 never happened, and then it's back to Night Passage & Weather Report (2), where shit just starts getting dark and quirky all over again, just in a new way. Point is, I don't really have a "preference" with this band, it's a more or less continuous arc for me. btw - "Madagascar" on Night Passage is as close to gonzo DizzyBird bebop as this type of music gets. Virtuosity and imagination at the fullest speed possible. No other band had that, not like this. And even this band didn't always have it like this.

Wouldn't necessarily need the parameters going in, just to label coming out.

Look for the duet album with Ellis Marsalis.

That is unconscionable.

a HUGE shout out! for this one too:

How big of a selection of styli do you employ?

Still waiting in vain for any recorded evidence of that 1948 mini-tour of Ellington, Nance, and Kay Davis...Ray Nance could almost literally do it all.

Either way, good joke!

One in a million is odds I can live with! Also...God knows that nurses and other hospital staffs are the soul of the nation, especially now, but..."gut instinct" is useful for a lot of things. But a lot is not all. I get the wariness about the "Warp Speed" element (and still have some of those same feelings). But it does look like this process has been vetted from enough angles and enough motivations that I'm willing to look at it as a necessary starting point, so let's get busy getting it done.

Not talking about you, David, just life in general these days...I worry about our collective impatience gathering moment at an exponential rate... His people should try to book that gig. Seriously. And if not him, then someplace outside of his existing audience. If he's got sound reasoning and data to back it up, he deserves a hearing. Hell, get on the Chris Wallace Sunday show. That motherfucker don't play! But the last thing I got time for right now is suspicion-based speculations. Save that shit for Ancient Aliens, please.
