Did ya' ever notice how some people look better with masks on and some don't?

Oh my, he's offering it in reel-to-reel and 8 track!

Lee's only on the first 11 of thise, the rest are just the Mulligan Baker quartet, albeit in top keenly attuned form. Bopsieland, indeed! On Wave, (at least) two more absolutely essential Warne records:

So, Seeger be driving that Volvo, right? 88

Did Pete Seeger drive a Volvo?

and then this beauty of a 12" (various covers over the years, but this is the one I have...the covers on that entire series are gorgeous in all kinds of ways) Lee flows...

Two dates actually, one studio, one live. The studio stuff is more than a little interesting, but the live stuff with Lee sitting in with the working quartet is essential early Konitz, imo.

I don't know that there has ever been a "sloppy" Sonny Rollins record. There have been various levels of inspiration (often on the same record), but never sloppy. Perspective as to "later" - 50s and 60s = two decades, everything else ("later") = roughly five decades. Seven decades altogether, where does "later" being? It's like Miles, people talk about his electric "period", when, objectively, it was periods, and in terms of years it was more than half of his career.

just walk in, get on that midway and never get out, don't stop, not even to puke, just keep going going going you're never going to get old and sick and die just keep going and going and going why do they call it a park when it never stops if it does the emptiness will kill you if you don't keep moving and moving and moving so keep moving it lasts forever until it doesn't so be ready to die when it does but not until then

Oh yeah, this: TV!

Lee & Warne did a couple of tours in the mid-70s that produced spectacular results, but that's outside your time frame, or so you say....)

You'll need this:

That's a good number of years to be working on a circuit and making connections.

Patton was with Lloyd Price for a while, remember. He was musical director as well as pianist. This was in the late 50s, iirc?

Get with the times, man!

Per AMG: https://www.allmusic.com/artist/big-john-patton-mn0000226908/biography After 1970 Patton quit the scene for a long while, quietly residing in East Orange, NJ. He contributed to vibraphonist Johnny Lytle's Everything Must Change in 1977, recorded his own Soul Connection in 1983 with guitarist Melvin Sparks and visionary trombonist Grachan Moncur III, then cut two albums with guitarist Jimmy Ponder: Mean Streets: No Bridges (1987) and Jump (1988). Big John Patton's comeback began in 1993-1994 with two albums featuring saxophonist John Zorn: Blue Planet Man and Minor Swing.

They didn't get a good record out of it, that's for sure. And you know if they could have, they would have.

Same tune, different arranger.

Some day, the Ron Washington pep talk before the doomed Came 6 will reach general circulation. But until then...this is the winner!

Can we assume that it also sounds as if it looks interesting?

I was a Walter Alston guy myself, and really did not like those Hollywood Dodger teams. But credit where credit is due - his legendary post-game rant is one of the most epic profanity-laden tirades on record, and I DO mean that as a compliment. However, what he did to Fernando remains a tragedy, maybe not all of his own making, but he was complicit.

I guess, I mean, I get shit from all over the world. Hardly a surprise that it's a "global world"!

Who the hell are you talking to?

Look, the "dividing line" is simple - something like this is a simple bootleg, somebody had a tape and slapped a logo on it and got it out there. It's not a "record", it's a found object that somebody gangstered out to the street. End of story. The other stuff, the PD stuff, not the same thing. By the very nature of its origin, not the same thing. But it is settled legality in your part of the world. That horse done left the barn. So the only decision that you, the consumer, has to make is a simple one - with any given product and what has gone into it's "production", am you getting value added or spending money subtracted? Seems to me like there's a lot of suckers getting suckered in that regard, but so be it, it's your money. And the ongoing devolution of the quality of the products (250,000 CDs on one diaper pin!!!!!!!!) speaks more to the lackings of the participants than it does to the rightness of the intent of the laws. After all, "freedom" is only as noble as the people exercising it, so if you buy crap, don't blame people when they keep selling it to you. Free market, baby, free market.

There are no bootlegs in Europe? Oh my!
