Teasing the Korean

The complete, chronological Bob Dylan. This is hilarious.

Thanks! I'll add that to my list!

I have a reasonable amount of Sonny Rollins on LP and CD, but I just realized that I don't have anything after East Broadway.

That's fair, but keep in mind that CTI was going for something different.

It provided a convenient way for casual listeners - of whom there are millions - to subtly expand their horizons into jazz. So thousands of listeners buying a pop-star-goes-swing album is going to make a bigger impact on the jazz charts than dozens of jazz obsessives buying the new Anthony Braxton album.

Like when the Kinks sang "the air pollution is a-foggin' up my eyes," and pronounced "foggin'" a little differently.

EDIT: Just found them. Thanks!

I have five of Freddie Hubbard's CTI albums. There was a period when people would pay you to take CTI records, and this is when I amassed my accumulation. I like the two with Don Sebesky the best. I remember initially being put off by the celebrated Red Clay because it didn't sound CTI enough for me. I should revisit it. I even like the one that includes a few arrangements by Bob James, whom I generally avoid.

Leith Stevens - War of the Worlds/When Worlds Collide - Lalaland

Root down. Jimmy Smith. It all makes sense now.

Ms. TTK and I just finished The Wire. We had of course heard about it for years, but never got around to it. For those who have not yet seen it, it is every bit as good as you've heard.

Especially considering Oliver Nelson's participation.

Peggy Lee - If You Go (Capitol, mono) Arrangements by Q.

Choice! The Best of Ramsey Lewis (Cadet, stereo)

Ahmad Jamal - Freeflight (impulse!, stereo) Plugging in the Rhodes on this one.

Cy Coleman - The Ages of Rock (MGM, stereo) Cy reimagines the classics with today's "rock" backings!

Stan looks like Dave Thomas of SCTV on the cover of Dynasty.

They are different takes, right? Probably separate sessions, too. If the film tracks were recorded in Britain, all bets are off.

I don't like her voice much, so I opted for Dionne instead.

I created an expanded Alfie playlist, using Sonny's album and adding Dionne's version of the Bacharach tune, Bacharach's instrumental version (with the insane 32nd notes on the high hat), and Roland Kirk's version, in which he quotes Sonny Rollins' "Alfie" melody in the coda. And I STILL can't find my Sonny Rollins Alfie LP on impulse! It shouldn't be hard to find with that fat spine. No idea what the hell I did with it.

How prominent is his vocalizing on this album?

Lots of good options for the Debussy and Ravel string quartets, which are typically paired on LP.

I've seen that album cover since I was a little kid, but I still haven't heard it. Is it any good?

At last! A roach killer for jazz fans! https://www.amazon.com/Combat-Killing-Indoor-Outdoor-Syringe/dp/B000QRAXSG/ref=sr_1_6?crid=27T8M6XGF7F0T&keywords=combat+max+roach+killer&qid=1694201881&rdc=1&sprefix=combat+max+roach+killer%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-6
