I have everything that's been released so far, and won't at all mind having more.

"Verve" alone is not a sufficient category. Creed Taylor Verve Jimmy Smith and post-Creed Taylor Verve Jimmy Smith are different types of records.

Wow, I randomly pulled, listened to, and very much enjoyed, Gal With A Horn just a week or two ago. Sad to hear that the vocals were forced on her...who knows what else was over her lifetime? RIP, and here's to all the stories that at best get told partially, when told at all.

Damn good record!

You set reminders for them to call each other.

Name away, music needs lists in order to survive!

Kenton, Rendezvous Ballroom, Balboa CA, ca. 1941 https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc9675/m1/1/

In his mind, he had turned into Elvis. Nothing more than that.

I came for (and left with) the Willie Maidens, but had a pretty darn good time with the Ken Hannas. Hank Levy, otoh...no. Never. Somebody should have stopped him at Don Ellis, but no. So in turn, I say - no. Also...with a rhythm section of John Worster, Jerry McKenzie, and the fully-integrated Ramon Lopez (and if anybody cares, Ramon Lopez was an integral part of the 70s Kenton Sound, with no really rhythmically participatory piano player, he got on in there and was necessary, unlike a "flavor", he was a nutrient in that band!)...Purity Of Purpose, Fully Achieved. I kinda like it for that, those were guys who believed, not a moment of doubt. But Hank Levy - no.

Wow, (almost) all of that, MacArthur Park, AND a chance for Ted to play Name The Canadians...talk about a Perfect Storm not named Dorian, this is Thread Serendippity Doo of the highest order!!!!

That Reunion album he did with Glen Campbell always seemed a little "off" to me, with the exception of this song, which is exactly as you describe there. That's some angry shit right there.

A. and K. lines. Same company, though.

a DAMN good label!

Scanning it now, and yeah. so nice to hear a modern tenor player with a limber tone and a loose pulse.SO nice/ Limber and loose does not seem to be on the agenda of much of today's jazz, not that it "needs" to be, just that I like it when it shows up and comes in. so...ordered, s/b here tomorrow.

She's still putting stuff out, just sporadically and w/o concerted promotion.

All-purpose, that one is!

There's been too damn many records over the last 20 years to think of them all, even just the good ones!

I like Andy Williams just fine, but it seems to me that he's (mostly) not really getting the flow of the lyrics in his phrasing? After looking on YT, I gotta ask (and hope you can find the answer) - WWJJD?

Well, then, I guess we'll have to agree to agree!
