He was always pimping the album where they were on the cover with an AEC-like array of instruments. Is this like that? Part of that Filmore thing sounds not unlike the end of Pangea(?) where the guitar synth is looping in and out. That has always gotten to me, so...who is the guitarist here, and maybe Pete Cosey had ears there too? I'm just not that much into anything "rock", haven't been for a good long while, since...1970 or so. But I got the impression that this was more than just that. I'll put it on the list, then, thanks.

It's just tournaments, and it only goes back to 2013 or so, but there's around 50 or so episodes up now. 20 minutes each, all commercials edited out. I get up early enough that I can almost always do 2 in a row, occasionally 3. But I'm about to run through the last of them, so....what now? We'll soon see.

I'm saying that the pool hall of those days was a very private place!

Thank the bank, Hank!

Are there thorns? Cactus thorns suck.

You can bet they got a Jimmy McGriff and/or Jack McDuff 45 on this jukebox.

It still ain't like it was in the Art Fleming days, make no mistake. But they got old tournaments up on Nextflix now, and that's a GREAT way to wake up and have morning coffee and for leaving for work not all bummed out and pissed off, beats the hell outta the news.

Glad to hear that they both still live. Had a LOT better luck at Sound Exchange than I did at the Half Price that was in somewhat the same area.

Is Sound Exchange the one that was in some sort of house that you walked upstairs to get to? I used to stop at that one when I came through town, had some good luck there.

I would recommend aggressively looking for jazz 45s. The mastering is loud and hot. It sounds great! This is true for non-jazz as well. As for what was on the jukeboxes, all the usual "jazz hit" suspects, as well as Blue Note 45s, Columbia 45s (edited from album cuts), Atlantic 45s, Bethlehem (Nina Simone, "My Baby...." on jukeboxes aplenty. Organ records aplenty too, Jimmy McGriff on Sue comes to mind. Basically just check the discographies. If there was a jazz 45 that wasn't already a hit, odds are good that it was for either DJ or jukebox use. Jazz on 78s in jukeboxes, before my time.

And the charts are a lot better than they had to have been. Good song selection, too. Nothing really over-familiar.

I got a drummer friend who I met in the late 70s, he'd just moved back here from France, had studied with Alan Silva for a while, considered Ayler "old fashioned", the dude was VERY much into the then new Euro Free Jazz, Sun Ra, Steve Lacy, a perfect taste-combo for today's world that was less common then, and he LOVED him some of that early improv-y Floyd. Kept trying to get me to listen to it, maybe someday I will. Bottom line - I don't know if I like it or not. But it seems like I might. If that guy dug it, if I didn't, it would not be because it was bad music or anything. And I did find a really plowed copy of Piper once, picked it up to see what all the Syd Barrett fuss was about. To be honest, I didn't dig it at all, it seemed like a bunch of 45s that needed to be expanded into album cuts. When it comes to mental casualties of the time, make mine Stanshall.

I wish him the best as well. But geez, I've been aware of these guys since 1964. Plenty of others (exponentially better others, too, imo) have come and gone, they'll not be any different. I stopped "caring" a looooong time ago. Not that I ever cared that much to begin with. Great singles band, then those few years with the really good albums, and ever since...hey you gotta make a living, right? Some more good singles along the way, and the ability to hear Sonny Rollins on the radio regularly, but I don't "need" them in any way. They're like Mosaic, the Rolling Stones are - half of what you still like about them is how they used to make you feel. Now, you mostly just enjoy remembering them making you feel that way, and oh baby, it's love forever. I guess.... So, modern medicine leads up to this day, and maybe another one or two, but in spite of all that, at some point, he dies anyway. Just like the rest of us.

You can pay me right now and I'll get you signed up. Promise!

I don't know that Milestone's contract was internationally exclusive. Plus, Milestone and Japanese Victor had a relationship of sorts, Milestone put out several of their things over here. Maybe this was going to be one and somebody decided not to. Either way, Japanese record contracts are/were usually a whole 'nother world.

nah, not really.

and the funny thing is, no matter what, he dies eventually anyway.

Yeah, I missed the Basie Roulette sets. If this is their route rather than single-disc reissues, then definitely Basie, just get it right and get them all. That Anne Phillips thing, though, that's a damn good record. Surprised the hell out of me how good it was.

which two?

YEAH!

I've never seen a Dial classical LP in the flesh. Then again, I didn't start looking at classical LPs until a few years ago.

Crown had a Just Jazz concert with Wardell, Criss, Garner, a.o. that they spliced and diced up into all kinds of combinations, accurately packaged and not accurately packaged. Nope. No Getz, Wardell. and then just on the first cut.

Ok, ANOTHER great find on this one - A 12" LP with this on one side and something else on the other, from an Amazon reseller for $9.99. Vinyl was heavy as fuck and also minty fresh - one little click on ONE revolution, everything else quiet like Euro ECM. Plus, the seller threw in an old Columbia mono for free! Looks fairly plowed, but hey, free, and a cover the is funny as hell, conveying as it does a time when people didn't know what they didn't know and played the shit out of what they did. plus:
