His 'Substance problem'??? What's that? Perhaps it's a substance abuse problem? No? Hunh. Wierd. ---HB

Loved the Minutemen, Firehose, well.... My ex-girlfriend used to go out w/ George Hurley, and when I met George, backstage at a Firehose show, with my then current and Georges ex, he was very nice and gave us free t-shirts. I was the typical "jealous boyfriend' and (thought) that I had to keep an eye on the 2 of them throughout the aftershow party. I vividly recall my ex yelling at Mike Watt "Mike, you SMELL!!! Take a fuc*ing shower!!" That was priceless, as Watt smelled like a dolled up skunk! hahaha! Memories!! Viva the Minutemen!!! ---HB

Yes, you do want that one!! Great duo LP. With Monterose doubling up on Tenor and Soprano. My copy is signed by Monterose, Come to think of it my copy of "Live in Albany", on Uptown is signed as well!?! That is a good one too. With Hod O'Brian, Teddy Kotick and Eddie Robinson. Guess that's what I'm going to spin round about now! ----HB

Dexter Gordon "The Panther" Prestige. W/ Tommy Flanagan, Larry Ridley and the everlovin' Alan Dawson. DIG!!

Bobby Beausoleil "Dreamways of the Mystic" 2xCD on Arcanum. Super deluxe packaging and fantastic liner notes/photos.

Yes, I agree!! "Free Blown Jazz" by Tony Scott IS a great LP, a cool cover to boot!!! ---HB

Charlie Mariano "Self Titled" Bethlehem. Original press. W/ Johnny Williams, Max Bennett and Mel Lewis.

Shoot, I don't have a photo to share.... But, you did know that the 'Vice-Pres" was from Denver?!? Check out Biograph's "The Kid From Denver" LP. Along with Jimmy Lunceford and Paul Whiteman, another Mile Higher! ---H.B.

Hippy Hippy Hoorah! Coming down after a 4 day weekend.... NOW: Benny Golson "This is for you, John." W/ Pharoah Sanders, Cedar Walton, (W)Ron(g) Carter and Jack Dejohnette. TIMELESS.

I have a copy of Sonny Stitt's "Now!", that has a Philips stereo label (Black w/ silver print). Pressed (?) in Holland. The cover the same as the U.S. Version. I have the original, and this is different. Whuss up w/ that??

RE: Vaclav Havel, I read, loooong ago, that he prefered Captain Beefheart, and said as much to Zappa! Hooorah, Havel!!! ---HB

Billy Murray...A.K.A. The Denver Nightengale, one of the top selling early recording stars of the early 1900's. Does anyone on this board enjoy/like/know of him? Tiny Tim once told me that he (Tiny Tim) was shocked/outraged that there was not a statue of Murray, somewhere in Denver. I understand that Murray was not born in Denver, but spent/lived a considerable time here. He did some great sides, not really 'jazz', but wonderful just the same. Anyone care to comment? ----HB

And, we all know Paul Whiteman was from Boulder, CO. Wow, has (Boulder) ever changed!!!!

YES! Thank you Mr. K, for posting this!! ----HB

Yep. Ditto what the above comment said! I was lucky to see Carter play live...What a show! ----HB

Dusko Goykovich "Swinging Macedonia" Phillips. A classic!! W/ Nathan Davis.

Gary Bartz "Another Earth" Milestone. With Charles Tolliver, Pharoah Sanders, Stanley Cowell, Reggie workman and Freddie Waits. Smashing session!!!

Ted Brown Trio. Criss Cross. W/ Hod O'brian and Jacques Schols.

Yeah, it is silly! It would be ideal if the CD reissue was packaged with original cover/liner notes. If more/extra material, Great!!! I'll keep my copy of the Moore Debut LP!! And the Fantasy Debut Series issue LP. Both with the groovy Covers!! (Heck, I'm a vinyl guy, no apologies.) Love it all... ---HB

Or you can get it at Dusty groove for a mere $6.99! Alas, NOT with the original cover. DIG!

RE: the Brew Moore in Europe, The Black Lion doesn't have the GROOVY cover, Nessie!! DIG! ----HB

The above pictured Moore LP iz a bitch!! w/ help from Lars Gullin and Sahib Shihab (he's hiding behind the tree!) Love this LP!! Someone needs to reissue this gem. DIG! ------HB

Burton Greene Quartet Orig. ESP. 1966. Let's see, we got Marion Brown, Henry Grimes, Dave Grant, Frank Smith and Tom Price....ain't that a Quintet? I just dug this out of a long forgotten box...still dig it!! Wait a minute, including Burton Greene, That's a septet!! Wha!?!

TRIO IMPROVVISAZIONE "Like a Breath" Metalanguage. 1982. Fantastic trio, minimalist (not always) pieces of pure brilliance. Players: Guido Braesola: Viola/ Marco Canepa: Piano/ Adriano Mondini: Oboe, English Horn. Verilly, 'tiss goode!!!

I once owned an album that had a glow in the dark cover. A "friend" came by and wanted to see the effects of the cover. So, he put the LP in my bathroom, placing the LP directly behind the lighting fixture, to tone it up. Stoopid me, I let him do this, thinking "surely he will take the record out of the sleeve as to prevent:WARPAGE!! " Well, he did not. The result was an amazing true glow in the dark experiance AND a very warped LP. Selah!! ---HB
