  1. Vogue, maybe, probably. Inner City, not that I know of. AFAIK, this Prestige LP was the only US LP release of the material. It's a bit lo-fi, but the band absolutely kills. Might be the very best performances by that band, period.
  2. So there's no "invalid user name, register here" type task flow? That seems like a flaw in the logic, then. Maybe Jim A needs to flip a switch on his end? While we're waiting on that, what makes a better Grampa name - "Flow-Flaw" or "Flaw-Flow"?
  3. I'd advise them to engage that existing user interface to see what happens if they enter a non-existent user name. either that, or try the log-on with Facebook option.
  4. However, Diddy Galippy did show up on Prestige 24000 Series once again! and in fact had one of his all-time best records released on Prestige before the 2-fer Craze swept the jazz-crazy record world by storm! Here is where you went to hear Big Nick in full lo-fi glory and magnificence, so when people talked about Trane's "Big Nick", you could ask them had they ever heard the REAL Big Nick, and almost always, no, who was he anyway? and then you play them this record and they don't know what to say, because Big Nick didn't give a damn, he just want to jam, and so many people just weren't (and maybe still aren't) ready for THAT.
  5. Carter is "vulgar" the way that Rahsaan was "vulgar". He "panders" the way that Eddie Harris "pandered". As I implied earlier, he's somewhat of a one-man Atlantic/Joel Dorn saxophone section. Throw in an organist who's more than a little familiar with the Milt Bucker ethos, and you got some randy hootings and tootings. Which is just to say that there's a long and honorable of the virtuoso pandering vulgarian who still plays their ass off and makes their audience happy to be in the room with them, as well as making those who are not their audience run screaming from the room in horror. Club comedy, anybody?
  6. What happens when they go here? http://www.organissimo.org/forum
  7. Recorded live in Toronto!
  8. He has Bird tapes?

  11. Too bad Joel Dorn's not around to make at least one James Carter record.
  12. Hey, you get Lock/Griff, Rahsaan/Eddie Harris/Yusef, and Earl Bostic all in one band for one price. That, and the bonus of hearing Najee being possessed by Steve Lacy and Anthony Braxton for no extra charge. It's a spectacle to be sure. But whateverpuddles of Astroglide it leaves behind more than makes up for all the must, dust, and death it chases away.
  13. and I like how you'd never know that's what it was unless you already knew. None of this "neo-gypsy Hot Club" bullshit here!
  14. Or 3/4 not alone!
  15. Those are all really good records The Boss, Portuguese Soul, Root Down, and Bluesmith. . Some of the others, not so much. As for your poll, I don't know, depends on what I want to hear. If it's just blowing, Blue Note. If it's a more programmed presentation, Verve. But truthfully, I can't take too much of either for too long of a time these days. In both cases, the records are (usually) essentially over before they begin, if you know what I mean. Nevertheless, there's post-Verve, including the gemette It's Necessary, where Teddy Edwards plays some blues. It was on Mercury, but, you know, coorporatto regatto, by the time anybody was ready to pay attention, they called it Verve. Teddy's also on Bluesmith, and he plays some blues there too.
  16. Well, as it pertains to Jimmy Smith, you weren't too smart if you avoided The Boss, Portuguese Soul, Root Down, and Bluesmith. You weren't alone, either, but still, you weren't smart it you did that!!!
  17. Just long enough in duration to make a round trip between the house and the main HPB down on Loop 12. This is a pretty darn good record!
