PS: only a few weeks away till i see 1/4 of the 1985 lineup of Led Zeppelin

lol @ peterdubya comment! lol To BFrank: yeah that was a great tour man....which date did you catch? the janitor at my high school saw that one, he said he got in only for a donation of a can of peas. he said it was billed as a sort of "battle of the bands" kind of and tull ripped it

so u guys: this soul live, when they 1st came out you know how they were like a funky b3 trio in the BN vein? well today their live show sucks Sooooooooooo bad: they have this singer now, and the music is like generic funk, in fact he hardly touched the b3, had he was on the bass synth and clav more than 1/2 the show....they sucked soooooooo bad.....i wanted to tell them i want to place a call to Bruce Lundvall 1st thing tues morning because they were deviating wayyyyyyy to much from their blue note predcessors....... ..........sam yahel was also disapointing because he didn't cover any big john patton songs!! but besides that it was okay i guess, kind of mellow and boring but hes a talent, no doubt the good show was THE GREYBOY ALLSTARS- they BROUGHT IT for the whole set- so glad i saw them instead of Wu-Tang clan who were playing next door/// 1/2 way through the set, Karl D was all: "I WANT EVERYONE TO SAY: ****HOT DOG!!!!!!!***** then the bass player was all "I only eat veggie dogs"--- then they brought out a 2nd guy on alto, and ripped the HOT DOG with TWO altos playing the lead and then trading off, etc!!!!!!!!!!!!! you guys know HOT DOG? the lou donaldson song! it was so awesome

have u guys ever seen this one??? its mostly mood music, but a few of the songs are swingin' jazz with Saxophone--- no personel listed- i wonder who else is on it-- have any of u guys ever seen or heard of this?

just got this for free in the "free-pile"-- anyone ever hear of this one? also picked up Aaron Bell solo lp on RCA Victor- its trashed, but never heard of that one either....

...not on a computer-- i mean on the actual record-- i was just talking about this w/ someone....is there any methods of reparing scratches on vinyl?

chewy states: THIS SET IS COMPLETE BULLSHIT. John Coltrane Complete Prestige Recordings (sans miles) 16 cd-set: why mess with perfection? So its a little threatening at sixteen cds in a box, but this is trane, isn't 16 not ENOUGH? i understand why they thought this might be a good idea but chewy was TELLING YOU GUYS FROM DAY ONE, that this whole concord thing was going to be a mess. They've locked up the masters in deep long-term storage, reissued Cookin' with miles 400 times in a row, chopped up the trane box, have they done super new super cool super remastered versions of the CCR stuff yet? or did that go to deep storage right next to Arnett Cobb and Bob Cooper and Sonny Criss and Curits Counce, and other great jazz artists whos names have a "C" and to save you the trouble, no, i did not infer ccr are "jazz", lol

oh really? why is shellac the best? better than vinyl? why? tell us more about what he said!

jazzdisco.org had a wes disco w/ all the info-- it was all generally correct=--- except these two tracks were nowhere to be found, if any of you hamp enthusasists know about these..... Shadows In the night (12-49 or 1-50) Hamps spectacle (12-49 or 1-50) anyways i still dont buy that albert ammons on piano senario-- are u sure its not a misprint and its supposed to be gene ammons: tenor sax? didnt AA just play solo and stuff?

got one of boris's finest today/ and marked down from five to only TWO big ones!!!! limited info written for side 1 states Albert Ammons on piano (albert ammons, playing with a big band?!?!?- surely this can't be right?!?!?!) also lists WES MONTGOMERY on guitar?!?! info: Hampology (written in: CBS TV bcast, 5-13-49) Bopology (1-4-50) Mary had a little lamb (12-29-49 nyc, it says) Hamps's Basement (1-4-50) Shadows In the night (12-49 or 1-50) Hamps spectacle (12-49 or 1-50) -------------------------------------- Flying Home (same as side a, #1) Jingle Boogie (12-49 or 1-50) Symphony in blue (written in it syas 1-4-50, appolo theatre, ny) 1-4-50 is this info more or less correct?!?!? did the previous owner do a good job listing that? any other tidbits or lionel hampton fun-facts i should know about this item?? any of you ever seen it or order it from the back of downbeat???

ohohoho also got the FLASH records story lp today: LA R/b doo wop label FLASH....... there are like a BILLION of these comp albums from i belive its called Relic Records...all for 6.99, la label COMBO, chicagos Parrot, and like a million others....anyone ever see these?

i have this really weird totally sweet 5-lp set on ROULETTE thats a r and r / doo wop compilation from MANY diff. labels-- Dootone, GEE, only a few roulette songs thrown it, Chess, Vee Jay, Twirl, Clock, all these weird ones..... there are 4 of these 5 lp sets, volumes A-D: i only have vol C which seemed to have the most obsucre stuff on it. also was able to order the girl group rhino set from the library!!! and only 2 people waitlisted it, i should have it in a few weeks!!! and yes i know sally go round the roses i have a Holly Golightly cd with that and i think a ? mark and the mysterians single somewhere (a modern ? remake of it) but i have not heard that original!

let me change my analogy: In the world of jazz, Tony Bennett makes NAJEE look like RICHIE KAMUCA

i dont believe its come up before, so just so u guys know where chewy stands on this: Tony Bennett is a complete fraud and a total phony. I hated him back in the 60s and I hate him even more today. The only reason he gets so much respect and makes so many TV apperances is beacuse all his peers are dead and theres no one else to do the job. He is no legend IMO. When he dies I am going to have a giant party. I'm sure at least some of my fellow Organissimo board members will share in my complete disregard for the vocal stylings of tony bennett, no? In the world of jazz, Tony Bennett makes Kenny G look like Curtis Amy

Ooooooooooooooo! this is some serious WCJ!! Lee, richine, conte, and frankie: son of a gun thats some serious serious, serious WCJ!!!! PM me if any of you want to play this to me over the telephone serious, serious WCJ!

since i have every jazz cd i could ever possibly want now ive started to try and focus more of late on improving my collection of 60s teenage girl-group 45s and rare soul and doo-wop compilations and stuff, do you guys like that stuff too? its not jazz but it is tangentially-related kind of being of the same era as the jazz we like. there is a lot of good comps on ACE out of the Uk but they are all 16.99 and the stores NEVER have sound clips of ACE material for some reason! there is also this RHINO box, came out maybe a year or so back called ONE KISS CAN LEAD TO ANOTHER which is a 4 cd girl group comp- but its 65 bucks and thats not for 10 cds its 65 bucks for only FOUR cds and a bunch of packaging: it comes in a desinger "hat-box" type of packaging-- passed on TEEN QUEENS (crown) which was only 3 big ones at the store, later looked it ip and found it books for $250-- Damn anyhoo.....

ooooo and this one record i bought on ebay tonite cause i heard it and was all ooooooo the lollipops: "busy signal" (RCA VICTOR) the dj and it on a 4 song 7" EP but i just bid on the single

tonight @ soul dance night this one dj was playing a lot of 45's that had the classic red MODERN records logo on them, but he said they were from the 70s. they sounded like late period examples of arranged soul that was going on in the late 60s-/////but i thought modern ended in the early 60s when they started reissuing it all on CROWN....and Kent, United,et al etc

surely he could of done a funky title track and then get down to bussiness on the rest of the album.......

james spaulding is sooooooooooooooo bad ass: i cant believe i dont have his solo lps: so the earliest ones are on Muse, is that right? i cant believe i dont have them: what mobley songs does he cover on that one you mentioned? i asw him once @ yoshis w/ bobby h. and his all-stars, it was awesome. blue note sucks for refusing to give him his own solo contact

a famous musican friend of mine who should not be named as of now pertaining to this, has told me time and again a story about how he had this woman singer in his band, and the gig every week a lot of the guys in the band would go down to the beach to chill and get wasted, etc- and finally after bugging my friend the band leader week after week to 'not be a square' and attend with them, he finally decided to go, when he got there, the whole band were lining up taking turns having sex on the beach with the singer and she was taking them all on like a champ- my friend could hardly believe it she seemed to nice and conservative in rehersals-- she later went on to marry Boyd Raeburn, but i can't remember her name, Betty or Jenny or Jeanie, i cant remember now

yeah right

at the time of the show my sax teacher told me hank was offthe scene quite a bit cause of alcahol releated stuff

saw him in 96 maybe 97/ w. jimmy McG of course, at a small little hotel bar with only a few people/ it was a bar and i got there right before the show and they were all 'sir you cannot sit in here this a bar you are not 21' and i was all: 'fine go ahead and call the fucking cops cause until they drag me out of here im not going fucking anywhere im seeing jimmy mcgriff and hank crawford and the rest of you can go to hell": they let me stay! that shit wouldn't fly now days in the 00's i bet!

did i SAY wetton played in either group? no- but i still stand by my original analysis and bruford is a complete charlatan. i was just listening to him w/ genesis in 76: its so sad they couldn't get chester a year earlier-- bruford really took away from the 'genesis sound'- he didn't RUIN the music, but it was the not least 'tightest' they ever sounded w/ him
