No dice - they got trouble right there in River City. Not bringing that here.

My chamber of chastisement is currently out of commission until we can get a new drainage system installed. I was merely expressing my opinion about Branford's opinion.

If Branford had three balls, all he'd have would be a pawn shop. Wayne, otoh, is still fertile as fuck. Old as fuck too, now, but hey. The only way Branford "matters" is as an economic placeholder for today's business. If he were to die tomorrow, music itself would have no void left. And if Branford had never been born, somebody else would have his gigs now. And still, no difference. These motherfuckers need to stop thinking they're important to music. They're not. They think they matter. They don't. I didn't miss them before they got here, hey, that's how insignificant they are to me. Place holders in the "business", that's all they have to offer music. But they do have gigs.

Just got back from Anthracite Fields. Worth leaving home for!

Find some truth in this, please: "Miles didn't teach them anything. Nothing."

I don't see it being Costa's idea. And yes, inspired indeed!

Of course he did, but what he learned from them, he taught it back with his own knowledge added to it. The classic example of this - and totally germane to the BM BS is the oft-told tale of how when George Coleman came on the band, the rhythm section would do their thing behind George but keep straight for George. Miles soon tired of this and told them to play behind them like they did for George. They were all like, are you sure? Ok, be ready, like, yeah old man, you wnat this truth, you can't handle this truth, right? Next thing you know, per Herbie, instead of them leading Miles, Miles was leading them. You hear that from the 90s band too, the Adam Holzman bunch. They already had their thing going on, but doing their thing behind Miles made them all aware of how much more they could do with it past what they already knew they could do. No mystique - Miles was a true leader. True leaders lead, and part of leading is letting people with gifts give them to you and then you pay them back with more than they gave. Just because you're an employer does not make you a leader. Not complicated.

PM inquiry sent on Lou Donaldson -- The Complete Blue Note Lou Donaldson Sessions, 1957-60 $100

So, are these the Tiger Woods Glory Holes?

Disagree there, love that record, wouldn't change a note of it, but that record is the high bar for the Costa charts I've heard. But I did hear some early-ish Edye Gorme thing that he arranged that hinted at more then the mundane dross I've come to think of in regard to him. And I really do not like his later work with Sinatra, of which there was far too much for my liking. To be fair, though, this chart seems to be perfectly in sync with what everybody wanted/needed/paid for: No matter, She Shot Me Down is an album worth having, and then keeping. And there you can have your Gordon Jenkins AND your Don Costa, from each according to his needs, to each the reward a paycheck according to the agreements made.

Meanwhile, Moore's namesake son carved out his own music career -- as Phil Moore Jr., playing piano with the likes of the Gerald Wilson Orchestra in 1965 and recording his own solo LP for Atlantic Records in 1969. This seems to be the same guy as Phil Moore III...go figure that one?

Sounds like Branford has the Marsalis Disease - never actually possessing greatness, but evaluating it anyway, always in the need of shrinking the big so they don't feel so goddamned small themselves. It's a luxury for the permanently failed and the financially secure. Yeah, the whole mystique thing is pretty much useless for an objective evaluation. There's no mystique to really knowing your shit, being intellectually curious, and setting up your business to be to your perpetual advantage. It's simply hard work, smarts, and brains, no mystique required, mystique is a product, period.

They do that these days, take the orders, confirm that they've taken them, then send the orders to the warehouse to be packed and shipped, then confirm that they they've sent the orders to the warehouse to be packed and shipped. Then you'll get a notice when the items actually ships. At this point, I'm kinda like, uh, tell you what - Mosaic just provides a box and a book as physical product, and then I pay about the same price to get an uber-hi-res DL from which I can make my own CDs or thumb drive or whatever the hell I want. If oprder fulfillment is going to be so damn convoluted, let's look at ways to at least begin to simplify.

And there's actually back covers with liner notes, by the reknowned Harris N. Venuti!

ALL of them? Wow, must be intense.

Look at Busy Boris Rose! https://www.discogs.com/artist/1432557-Boris-Rose

OP must have always been asking Boris Rose to pull his finger.

I wonder more about why OP is telling some kid to pull his finger. The B-3 might be there as a backstop. Boris Rose mysteries are not meant to be solved, I think!

That would perhaps account for the two different announcers. One guy is a bit relaxed, the other one not so much (although he does manage to say something like "and now, through the magic carpet of radio" with complete seriousness). Interesting to me is that both announcers refer to Fletcher Henderson as "the King Of Swing". That also got my attention.

Oh my, this IS interesting!

Yep again.
