Are the Standard Playbook Methodologies of Aspiring Totalitarian Autocrats (and their Toadyass Impotent Stoogeworms) considered a political subject or a business-model subject? Because, you know, business discussions are TOTALLY ok here!

If this is not truly "essential", then the word has no meaning.

Reporting is by its very nature a trailing indicator, or used to be. Should be. "24 hour news cycle"...we all been pwned by that nonsense. This reality shit moves fast!

This one, on Columbia:

That cover photo is sobering...SO MUCH LIFE!!! There was a time when it seemed like those guys were all going to live forever. And then, one by one...

Here is your way to kill two birds with one stone. Buy this book, make its contents you menu, and only play records by people with recipes in the book. Just watch out for Nat Adderley's Souse recipie...no wonder those guys were so fat all the time!

Not bad, just jam-y. A bit more rehearsal wouldn't have hurt, but...time is money, etc. fwiw, I lucked into my copy and did not have to pay that for it. Believe me, if I would have had to, I'd gladly have passed, all that nervouscorny tenor playing just to hear Turrentine, no thanks.

So, you think your Stanley Turrentine Collection is complete, do ya'... otoh, you gotta listen to all this other noise to get to T, so...

If you listen to a record within a day or two of buying it, you can get that done. It's when you start a pile that you never get to that things get sticky.

Are there copies of the full set circulating? The one I found opens in the middle of a Wayne solo. Is that what there is?

Helluva good piano playing!

and there are still people who do that. Not as many as there used to be, thank god, but, you know, some people take longer processing the notion of JEESUS, DUMBASS JUST DON'T DO THAT!!! than others.

If the repertoire makes it look like it's going to be a totally inside date, with those people, well, it is. Fagan might be a little subsumed by the quality of his band, but that's ok. They are playing very well indeed. There was a follow-up LP to that one, which is NOT one of the best Muse cover images ever!

Oh dear, sorry to hear that. Hopefully help is on the way via climate change!

Totally mellow.

How about selling watermelons out of your pickup bed? I drive all over the place looking for those guys! Best prices, best product.

I wonder when the last lime tht anybody in the world played this record. Or when the next time will be. Anybody. Anywhere, In the world.

Dude, it doesn't have to be middle eastern, just a truck and some food, that's all, just make sure the food is good, the truck, hey, it can be any damn truck, ok?

Yeah, going into round 3 of this Lacy thing, I think it's become an "instant all-time favorite". I have a lot (but by no mean A LOT) of Lacy, and this one is really right in there.

Nicely recorded, with wonderful playing to go with it!

Like the tone a lot. The vibrato and the scoops, not so much. What is he up to these days? Strong voice.

Food trucks are always welcome, if they're good!

Indeed it is!
