  1. He was proud of his tongue. Do the math.
  2. I just have one album with a Warne solo, a live one from Japan...what others are there? I'd want them. More than "some", LOL. I bought that first record and was totally impressed just that it happened at all, but re-listened after a few years (after the novelty wore off, which wasn't long), and they're, not exactly "sloppy", but in terms of typical California-studio section playing, it was actually almost "sloppy", which is really how I think it should have bee, really, everybody needs to feel it, not just read it. Along the Supersax line, though, my meticulously crafted Billy Eckstine Spotify channel has been feeding me the album that Joe Willimas made with Dave Pell's Prez Conference, and htat is a far more listenable proposition for me. Not sure if that band made a strictly instrumental album or not...not sure if I care? Don Ellis had the right idea (if there really is such at thing), take a Bird solo and orchestrate it for an orchestra, break it up between sections.
  3. Listening to it now, and liking it. I would love to hear this band live. Get well, planet, and until then, here's a bit of medicine to hold you over.
  4. Fun movie. Not a fun story, but a fun movie.

  6. Recording debut at age 14?!?!?!?!
  7. I own quite a lot of the stuff on the JT lists, just glad that's not all or most of what i own, or listen to. That's a really industry-friendly population, that's all I can say..
  8. Did Camden actually use inner sleeves? Budget label, etc.

    The first five minutes of Frankenstein are as good as it gets. Beaver Harris!
  10. Nope. It's got that one little chromatic thing in the bridge, but it's in a different place in serves a different function. Otherwise, I believe it's actually a Monk tune. I think?
  11. Stuffy is not based on Savoy.
  12. Strings on one piece, right? But live?
  13. They did this one:
  14. That's Garnett Brown doing his then-trademark lick(s).
  15. The changes of the two are totally different. Sorry. It is.
  16. Finally it dawns on me - Paul Bley & Earl Hines, there's a more than subliminal kinship. I would play poker with neither, under any circumstance. Never.
  17. I had a chance to look at one book of his Trane-scriptions….crazymad accuracy of detail, definitely not hack-edu work, just....incredible. As for him being a character, I remember the ads he's place for his records in, I think, Cadence(?), definitely distinct, very non-dour! RIP, and blessings to all who find a way to get it done.
  18. Yeah, that would not have happened at a Denny's. NOT have happened.
  19. Dave Sanborn can play, period. And Bob James has a broader and deeper range of musical experience than do most of his audiences and detractors alike. I can do without most of those records myself, but I totally respect the skills that went into them. As for Red Clay, yeah that's a good record and all that but Hubbard CTI 70s hey Straight Life, end of story. And the Jarrett record is is pretty good actually I liked it then and I like it now. And I'm by no stretch of the imagination a fan of him in general.
  20. I don't either, but those are all very creative records with a totally personal POV. Well yeah, but that just goes to show you that there's a reason why business is business. Verb was riding high in those days and they put money in to promotions and that promotion paid off. Business doing what business do. Verve was, by then a totally corporate label, even more than it was when it was under MGM, but they had an extremely solid roster and an extremely solid catalog. so anybody who couldn't get the old Blue Notes or Milestones or just thought they were old records, well that's what they did for Joe Henderson. I for one thank them for that.
  21. Show of hands for all the people who used to be kids who thought his name was Vince Cully?
  22. LOL, it's nothing like Denny's. Nothing at all. Waffle House is a universe unto itself. FEMA does not have a Denny's index, word!
