Teasing the Korean

No, he probably meant that there will be multiple used copies of every title available everywhere, as there are now at the places I haunt.

Porn sites charge a lot less than $35 for 45 minutes. So I'm told.

I've always been interested in the reharmonization of standards, and the acceptance of certain sets of changes over other sets. I hear what you're saying and respect your viewpoint, but I don't share your aversion to that opening diminished chord at the beginning of Stella. To me, it is simply a different sound. That said, I always play the half-diminished chord when I play the tune.

Haven't read through the whole thread. Allan, when will we be able to see/hear/read your interview with W?

I did, and arrangements can make or break a tune.

Arrangements on the CP album are square, old man arrangements, not even coming close to Comstock. It's ironic that most (not all) of the "jazz guy plus strings" albums had arrangements infinitely more square than you hear on so-called "easy listening" records from this period.

I *think* there is a novachord, along with some other electronic instruments, integrated with rhythm, woodwinds, and strings. Best version ever.

Now get to work on finding the Comstock version.

No one has ever come close to even touching Frank Comstock's definitive version.

Bernard Herrmann's first film score was "Citizen Kane." His last was "Taxi Driver." How awesome is that?

I'm going to write a future standard titled "Take A Train."

Actually, I'd have loved to be washing dishes when CP was blowing through the changes on Cherokee.

That's a good one, but if I had to choose one, I'd say the Village Green Preservation Society.

On a back cover of one CD, the writer uses the word "sunk" as a past tense for "synch." Everyone makes mistakes, but where are the proofreaders?

According to organissimo.org, he's in ICU.

David Garland interviewed her several years ago on "Spinning on Air." Not sure if it's archived or not. She talked about being very shy.

Here is a clip of them in the studio! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1RjMuB8Qkd8

If that's the album I'm thinking of, you probably won't be inspired to pick up much else. IIRC, it has period arrangements by Billy May, and self-consciously takes a throwback approach. I LOVE everything else I've heard by her. My Dad had an LP on the Forum label that was really solid. I love her version of "Detour Ahead." For some reason, her LPs don't show up too often in used bins. Either people didn't buy them, or they don't want to let them go.

Duplicate post, do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars.

For a "cheapo" label, these pressings sound pretty great. At least my copies do.

I have a couple of albums on this label that I really love, including one by Bookers Ervin and Little; and Donald Byrd and Booker Little. These appear to be reissues of earlier sessions. Couldn't find anything on the BSN discographies pages.

Revisionist in the way that she's being marketed now, i.e. keeping her first three or four early Verve albums in print (the ones with the bossa/Brazil bent) but not the other eight or so which are not particularly Brazilian. But I hear what you're saying, too.
