Getting into the first Joe Castro Sunnyside box (and finding it to be good fun), have already ordered the second, so with luck I can finish one right when it's time to start the other. And without luck, hey, I should still get the second one. no complaints either way.

Ultimately, it's the number of people engaged that matter, not the number of posts. and to that end, yes, the (relative) newcomers are indeed refreshing and contributative! I've long thought that the BFT was a great resource for both talking and listening. Glad to see it - the traffic - might be picking back up!

# of posts might be deceptive. I try to do one summary post, but this one I was doing a lot of scattershot/free-association single posts as I went along, due to listening on the phone, using it as "radio" while working. It's a good assemblage, though, definitely. And the presenter's engagement with every comment keeps a good "live" flow/feel to it all. I like that. After sleuthing, I can say her name - Sumi Tonooka, a name I have long heard of but pretty much ignored for not even half a good reason. My loss, obviously.

It was Art Farmer's band at the time. Maybe Albert was not fully "convinced" by the "flavor".

I've not yet heard a Sam Most record that got to me at any level. Seconds for James Newtron! And there are some Hubert Laws solos that are exceptional in every regard - and many more that are a total not that. But the guy can play and think at the same time more than most. Too bad about that not happening as often as I would have like, but oh well about that, Not my place to tell a true virtuoso what to do with it, that's his place and his job.

I've come to believe that there are no jive licks, just jive ways of playing them...although maybe "jive lick" is a redundancy?

And Blue Note didn't?

Voice of a generation!

I have LPs and the Mosaic set. I think I'm good.

"Lay Lady Lay" for the ED drug of your choice. voice of a generation indeed, again!

Is what used to be Columbia now UMG, or are they still Sony. whoever they are now, they will still be selling the records. But UMG will collect the publishing royalties from those sales. I do hope that Dylan has some philanthropic organization or something where some of this 300 mil can go (or has been going). None of my business, of course, but it the voice of a generation gets pout-humanitarianed by Bill Gates, well, there's your voice of a generation then.

Serious question - why is this a big deal? I don't recall the stereo being so fucked up that it made me thirsty for mono?

voice of a generation - make a lot of noise, make a lot of money, keep making a lot of money, finally cash out, hey, you did what you could, made what you could, not your problem anymore, that noise was ultimately just that - noise. Voice of a generation indeed1 Exactly!

As Paul Desmond said, that's the way the world ends, not with a whim, but a banker.

The presence of Steves Kuhn & Swallow was a bit of an outlier for the Blue Note of this period as well.

Always play the b-side. Always! Also, just to clarify - I'm not suggesting that Lee Morgan, Roswell road, and Fred Hubbard are actually on this record. I strongly suspect that they aren't. I'm wondering how the hell a Wikipedia article got that in there in the first place.

Living? In an apartment? That's an oxymoron.

Why the fuck indeed.

Terrestrial mapping is a 20th Century paradigm.

Space is infinite.

Check out the album with Jerry Butler (Johnny Board's on that one also).

Mr. Board standing tall aside Sonny Stitt. It's a record to have. as for Gene Chandler:
