Was Handy before or after Eddie?

Container Store. You don't get milk crates for storing records, you go shopping for household organizational tools. You either need more shelving (are you going to be buying THAT many more records?) or else you need a way to keep the overflow neat, tidy, organized, and easily moved to another room when needed. You can also study physics while you're at it!

Milk crates. Still serve a purpose.

Still is, so far!

Real time is funny. You can still know that something has value but care less about actively engaging with it because...familiarity shouldn't breed contempt, but in can reasonably create curiosity when new things come along that aren't as literally familiar. Especially in the days before internet, and especially when budgets were real. I took a sacred vow to fidelity with my wife, not with my record player. Can't say that there have been any "bad" rec0ords on your list of the decade. But the further you go into the decade, the fewer items there are that i was going to go out of my way to check out (Horizon being a very good example - McCoy was putting out a couple of albums a year, and at some point, ok, I GET it, there's other stuff starting to happen/already happening, older people starting to come around to a new level, newer people showing a lot if promise - and often enough actually delivering), even though as time has passed and the more they are in the rear view mirror, sure there is much to love that I might not have given first-run status in their real times. But there's even more that, fine as it is, I just don't care about now, maybe even less than I would have then. Life is short, music is infinite, do the math on THAT one, right? Very strong case in point about real-time experience - Ornette's Harmolodic music. Fucked my head of in real time, a really strong influence in every way. You weren't there, you came to it later and didn't like it, ok, that's how it should be. Plenty of people who were there didn't like it, a few actually called it "commercial fusion" LOL. But as to why you not getting why so much of this stuff is not recognized by received wisdom or critical narrative, that's why - because not everything worthy gets attention. Life is not fair like that. But it is life, so maybe it's fair enough until it's not, and even then, hey. Whatever money there is in any of this is in sustaining a narrative. It's not necessary a bad narrative, but it is certainly an incomplete one. So keep buying the cheap records, I'd have been lost without them. Hell, still would be.

More than "just a little" flat. Almost a half-step. Playing like THIS?

Let me put it this way - I try to gift my bootlegs once I get the material legit. Not doing that this time.Gonna have to keep them both.

and not without some good reason!

Black Narcissus mostly recorded in 1974, in Paris. Produced by Joe Himself, not sure what that was all about, maybe he wanted to do things his way? Last "real" Joe Milestone record imo would have been Black Miracle. It gets better with time, but only up to a point...

that's no excuse, unless he didn't know anything to begin with.

Nobody.

Chronological perspective about Milestone in "the 70s" here...McCoy & Sonny, yes, all decade.. But Joe was gone by 1975. Bartz was gone from Milestone by 1971, and Prestige by 1975. Lee's last record for them was recorded in 1974. in Flora was there for just 73-76. And Ron Carter started there in 1976. Fine catalog, to be sure, but their roster (such as it was) was a lot more ..."loaded" for the first half of the decade than it was for the second half, even though good records came out all the way through in some form or fashion.

Happy birthday!

Thanks again!

Hest emdeed!

Everybody likes Ari Brown!!! Gale Gordon frankly arising from slumber.

The trumpet player had one of his solos transcribed and printed in Down Beat,

They were yesterday lol!!! Thank you everybody. 65 down, Lord knows how many more to go.

Let me know when it gets here, I'll go there.

I can't remember the last time I've listened to one of those records, nor am I in any real hurry to. I've heard them all many, many times, since they were new. However, if I was to go to the shells right now and pull one out, I think it would be Trident. That's the one that seems to be the most germane now that it's all over and done with.

Milestone Jazzstars.

Cool, thanks. Payment sent!

I'm still working on how a dentist can be "uneducated"?

Horizon is your favorite Tyner album of the 70s?

I looked, they don't yet have it.
