I guess we all got spoiled by Horace Silver and Wayne Shorter and people of their ilk. Or by having jazz radio for that matter, where a DJ could interact with a community in real time. Or maybe this child prodigy hype is for marketing and never about music.

I actually like the basic Starbucks flavor. So ti me, that's not funny, it's just stupid. You know what else was stupid was that Starbucks Blonde, for people who wanted something else besides Starbucks from Starbucks. Talk about a REAL blonde joke...

Strange...

Skills, plural.

Maybe your dog would enjoy a date, dinner and a movie and then a walk to potty before turning in for the night?

I wanted to use the Morgan tapes as an speculative example but didn't want to overreach the speculation. So now it's the Jazz Detective's time to step in and rescue all the known tapes? But more to the point - are all the Both/And tapes collated/codified by some Master Collector?

They were reference tapes, not masters. And the story has too many dead people and too much past-tense for me to give any credibility. Hell, it could have been Joe or Woody, hard up for dough. Bottom line - imo it's a bootleg. Not that that's ever stopped me before...

Turns out Milestone label head Orrin Keepnews had turned around and sold these 2-track reference mixes (recorded by Bernie Grundman!) to Everest owner Bernie Solomon, who went ahead and did his usual down-market, take the money and run thing. "Turns out" , eh? Who would be alive to confirm or contradict this? Dead men tell no tales. Color me skeptical, at best.

Find me an elevator with that type of .music. Or any type of music for that matter!

That story sounds a bit off. I've never heard of Keepnews doing a deal like that and certainly he would have had plenty of opportunities.

I liked most of Barretto's various outputs, but the last years of fully organic "Latin Jazz" are sui generis in my opinion. Kinda surprised me that I hadn't heard of this one, but now I have!🎄🎄🎄

Laura Henton, KC, 1929, with Eddie Durham(!). Benny Moten is supposed to be on here too, but inaudibly if so. I hear no piano. Laura Henton swings!!!

Done.

The Franklin looks right! The Michael Howell and Billy Mitchell are solid enough efforts. I know Ira Schulman through Don Ellis, but the notion "Baroque Jazz" in the 70s kinda creeps me out. YMMV. Otherwise, I do not like Sam Most at all, certainly know Ron Jefferson but have no idea about this record, and have zero idea about the others. Pat Britt certainly hustled to get those made though!

I also noticed names such as Hale Smith, George Walker, Olly Wilson, and isn't that George Russell upper right? Looking forward to some hopefully interesting talk about an under-visible area of music.

That was a bootleg. Bought it on Everest back in the day. They had devolved into doing that type of thing. Expectations should not be set too high. It's of secondary quality to the official stuff.

Tell me more?

And if they yes, demand a proof of life photo.

Beer made me fatter and lazier than I already was. Like weed only easier to navigate.

I preferred dark, heavier beers. The only lighter beers I liked was Rolling Rock, and that was for after a hot sweaty mowing of the lawn

That explains a lot of things!

Wish I could have been there! Not sure how often he plays out these days?

THE Anthony Davis?

I missed this one, just ordered. Thanks for shining the light!
