He made some Latin big band records. He made a small date, 5 or 6 players on a Mode record (I think) with Jay Corre. They were both sidemen. I'm having trouble finding more info on this. I don't have "Lord".

I'd like to try again.

Download a torrent.

His speaking voice was great. Too short a part though. I haven't watched the show in years. I quite enjoyed it.

I understand Sonny Rollins voice is featured on 'The Simpson's' Tonight.

For someone who is not the least bit flexible I'm pretty good at putting my foot in my mouth :-)

There have been some sax players who were more perfect than not. Guys who always swing, play in tune, articulate very cleanly, never play a wrong note and say something. It amazes me. Some who do: Getz Pepper Sims Woods Desmond Konitz Henderson Hodges ... Others almost there: Shank L. Thompson Byas Golson ... I must be forgetting lots of people, I know. I don't require my heroes to be constantly pushing the edge.

I've always liked the playing on Focus but hate the mics or the equalization. The strings are very harsh. For me, Getz was one of the finest saxophonists and jazz musicians who ever lived. To focus on a couple of cliches that he liked and dismiss him for that... or to dismiss him for being too perfect... What some people want from music is so foreign to me.

Some info on Nica. I'll take what I can get. http://www.jewishquarterly.org/issuearchive/article4ced.html?articleid=435

Sonny Stittt or Sonnie Stittt

You don't know anything about her.

Quite a bit about her in the book I'm reading: Thelonious Monk - The Life and Times of an American Original It's more like her family disowned her.

I bought the record in the early 1960s at Ralph's Supermarket in Van Nuys, Ca. Paid all of 88 cents for It and played it MANY times. It was my introduction to Joe Shepley, Eddie Bert, and Carmen Leggio. http://www.discogs.com/Vinnie-Riccitelli-Unique-Jazz-From-The-Westchester-Workshop/release/2944550 The Fresh Sounds CD. http://www.freshsoundrecords.com/the_westchester_workshop__the_john_glasel_brasstet_-_rare_studio_recordings_by_two_outstanding_jazz_ensembles-cd-3547.html

They are good & u-ni-cue

Yippee!

Whatever Stan wants, Stan Getz :-)

Yes, they are a talented bunch of guys. You might like to hear the Laurel & Hardy CD too. http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=8173545

Nearly or could have. I went to 'The Both/And' in San Francisco ~1966 with a friend who brought his trumpet and sat in with the band so I guess I could have met him but I have always been too shy to meet famous people.

I have a fondness for the recordings Buddy and Tommy Gumina made. They had something special. http://www.jazzwax.com/2011/05/buddy-defranco-and-tommy-gumina.html

Interesting fellow. Another inventor sorta ripped off. Only one news outlet mentioned how a lawyer added his name to the patent.
