What did he do to deserve that?

Woody Herman is finishing up shipping and all preorders will ship in the next couple of days Hank Mobley set has arrived and we will ship right after Woody Herman shipments. Sounds like they workin' poor Woody to death. No wonder shit be running behind!

Aim to have them all, eventually. Playin' the long game here.

Not if you have this one on LP as well: Then if you have to hear them all together, make a cassette!

Bing at the peak of his power.

I first heard him on some weird off-brand cable/satellite TV show out of San Francisco hosted by Joe Burton. He was not a regular, but was a frequent "guest star". Had no idea who he was then, just that he as in a different class than the regulars. Gradually found out more about him, just what a fine, seasoned player he truly was. RIP for sure.

Same here (more or less), and yes, it really is that simple.

Once again, context matters. Granted, this place has long been the home of epic threddrift (and for that, we should all be proud). But just hauling off in an existing Subject A to hard-left into a direct attack on a single poster is not threaddfift, any more than lurking in an alley waiting for that cockscuker who fucked your wife last week to come walking by so you can beat the shit out of him is a random act of manrage. You know, if you want to call somebody an asshole, be a boss and start a specific thread about it. There's precedent!

Some. But only some.

That's so wrong.. Tofu is made from soy beans, and can be made with magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt), which can be considered an "industrial poison" in certain quantities and applications, but which can also be perfectly healthy and beneficial when used appropriately. I mean, hell, you can make your own. Really, you can.

Elephantiasis aside, that Miles figure was actually a "logo" for a quick minute, like "Directions In Music by Miles Davis" would be a "slogan" few years later.

Exactly!

Well, ok - what is a "rap" (as in "bad rap") if not a collection of opinions about his playing? Good rap, bad rap, whatever, there's nothing more to that than opinions. It's not like he's been inaccurately characterized as a junkie or a wife-heater, it not that kind of a bad rap. But here's that kind of a good rap! AFAIC, I got more time for this than I do for Oscar Peterson, especially today. . After all, everybody's rappin' - and only few can flow. And no matter what you're talking about, that is truth.

Yeah, well, the thread is about opinions of Oscar Peterson's playing, not about about Justin's opinions of Allen Lowe's personality traits. Context matters, anybody?

Cost-Center-Efficiency-centricity continues to eat itself. HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! It serve it right to suffer.

Buddy Terry played a lot in a Newark-based "blues" band for a good long time. they made some records.

I know that record. It's not bad, as far as that type of thing go. However, having a trio with Sam Jones and Dobby Durham is like having an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other. Good luck on that one!

Used to be that meant you were getting a bunch of 78s...

Yeah, let's remember that taste is subjective, but knowledge, and the depth or lack thereof, is not. And most importantly, unilaterally assigning a motive to a question of a person's taste is an at best spurious gambit.

Well, that's a good reason.

Why is Ben Webster playing alto, Johnny Hodges tenor, and Flip Phillips hookey?

Yes - if your tofu tasted bad, it's not the tofu's fault. Not unlike black-eyed peas in that regard.
