...quiet as it's kept...

If this is elevator music, put me on that elevator for a few rides! Pretty stealth personnel on here too. Never know who you're going to meet in them elevators...

There's plenty here to flesh it out with, were these better times for them doing that sort of thing: https://jazzdiscography.com/Artists/BarronB/bb-disc.php Bill Barron!

No drowning in the desert!

It's easier, by a little, to put me on than it is to put me off. I get it, they're old and tired and the market ain't what it used to be, nor will it ever be. Totally feeling that one. So what's their brand going to be now?

And that's one of the many reasons I stopped reading JazzTimes more than a decade ago. Overrated? Critics' bombastic pronouncements, usually based in whatever bundle of personal resentments and phobias (or their percieved refutations) we all carry around. Underrated? People who actually know how music works past their initial emotional reaction. Silly? "ratings" in lieu of evaluations Ira Gitler? Significant contributor for a good while, but he himself passed long after his real critical relevance did. RIP for real, but I loved Swing To Bop as much as anybody, but the way it ended left a sour-ish taste in my mouth, the way that one minute we're around everybody and then all of a sudden we're in his neighborhood talking just all about his people, and I'm like, ok, next time I read this thing, I'll know when and where to stop. Still, his firsthand accounts of some of the earlier Prestige sides (he WAS there, literally!) are priceless and imo more than earned him the right to stay in one place for the rest of his life. It was a helluva place when it was there.

There are people who will fuck you up for pulling shit like that. How did that motherfucker die?

1968 German TV, with Tchichi & Barbieri as the front line:

Bill Barron has been on our list for a long time, mainly the Savoy and Muse sessions. Unfortunately there aren’t enough albums under his own name to put together a decent size box. Best, MC Ok, far be it from me to argue with MC at this stage of his and Mosaic's like, but does it have to be just leader dates? And doesn't his widow have some stuff, like maybe a lot of stuff? I respectfully replied with words to that effect.

Just the title tune, that's all that's on my iPod, but geez, that's enough, ain't it?!?!?!?!?!

YO!

That is the greatest record cover ever, so by definition it cannot be better.

Anybody?

He has a powerful piece here (recently reissued in box form, highly recommended):

Meaty.

Hey, it's the road. Who's looking?

I keep saying - Stravinsky should've had a road band.

Ok, I just sent an email to info@mosaicrecords.com
