Been enjoying this one lately.

Al Jolson Danny Thomas Neil Diamond

Fats Domino James Whale Andre the Giant

Minnie Pearl Tiny Grimes Little Walter

Love his writing for Johnny Griffin's Riverside dates, especially THE LITTLE GIANT. And his arrangement of "Wade in the Water"... pretty epochal stuff. Need to catch up on his leader dates. The few I've heard did not disappoint.

Steve Stevens Vinnie Vincent Sylvain Sylvain

Donald "Duck" Dunn Charlie "Bird" Parker The Swan Silvertones

Mr. Whipple Mrs. Olson Madge (the manicurist)

Sad to learn this. My memories of Chicago largely revolve around record stores — and Penny's Noodle Shop — but JRM most of all.

Aldous Huxley Cliff Huxtable General Armitage Hux

The Bickersons The Jeffersons The Jetsons

The Laws is... not bad. Production is marred by a few MOR artifacts, but, overall, a very fine showing from Ronnie and his band.

The Girl With A Pearl Earring The Girl (Who) Can't Help It Lena Dunham

Tom "Flash" Gordon Dennis Ray "Oil Can" Boyd Bill "Spaceman" Lee

Perhaps. I thought the Debussy model was more "relevant" to the trio with Ralph Pena and Jim Hall, but I could be misremembering. Need to dig out that TALKS AND PLAYS set on CELP...

Dick Trickle Don Rickles Don Sickler

I'd never really thought about this before, but it is kind of amazing to think that Giuffre's last Verve date with his quartet — IN PERSON — dates from July 1960. By March of 1961, his new trio with Bley and Swallow is making a very different kind of music. Seems/feels like a fairly rapid "evolution" to me. (Understanding that there's interrupted continuity from some of Giuffre's 50s work to the "3" recordings.)

Awesome pic!
