kh1958

Of course, if the government lets XM and Sirius merge, there's only going to be one such job, not two.

I checked in my Prestige discography, and he had five sessions as a leader--South Side Soul (Aug. 30, 1960); Nice N Tasty (Nov. 8, 1960); Makin' Out (June 23, 1961); Mr. Soul (April 10, 1962); The Last Amen (Dec. 19, 1961).

I only have Mr. Soul, but I do like it. The two OJCs are only available at present from a few amazon.com sellers. So you had better not procrasinate much longer.

A mouse with two clickers instead of one is the perfect example of Microsoft's ability to make the simple pointlessly complicated. Annoyingly, when you are left-handed like myself, at some point you have to figure out how to invert the clickers. My Mac seems to always work just fine with a single click mouse--it's an ambidextrous mouse.

I noticed that the Jazz Record Center is selling complete sets of the rainbow series (39 LPs, starting bid $825) and those brown twofers (16 sets, starting bid $300)--No takers yet: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...p;rd=1&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...p;rd=1&rd=1

Mesquite????? indeed! If ever Arlington needed more proof that it is a cultural wasteland, there it is. Years ago, I saw Freddie Hubbard and Dizzy Gillespie perform in Mesquite. As for Arlington--a Larry Coryell solo performance at a very small club.

If two pianos together is wrong, then this must be criminal. http://www.amazon.com/Giants-Organ-Togethe...5315837-0791254 (Jimmy McGriff and Groove Holmes, Giants of the Organ Come Together.)

I have a copy and also like the recording.

I forgot to mention one more piano duet--from Blue Note's very first recording session--there were a couple of cuts of duets of Albert Ammons and Meade Lux Lewis. Didn't Cecil Taylor record a duet album with Mary Lou Williams? I haven't heard it, but that does sound like a bad idea.

Much thanks for all the recommendations.

My last two piano duet acquisitions both turned out to be quite good Jaki Byard and Ran Blake--Improvisations (Soul Note); and Muhal Richard Abrams and Amina Claudine Myers--Duet (Black Saint). I think I like the dual piano format more than I realized. I have the Ellington/Strayhorn. Also, John Mehehan and Eddie Costa, A Pair of Pianos on Savoy. I can't think of any others offhand. What are the really good ones?

Jimmy Witherspoon--Hunh (Bluesway)--with Earl Hooker and Mel Brown on guitars.

"I've Just Seen A Face" is on the current cd version of "Help!", I bought all of the UK versions on cd a few years back and (if I'm not mistaken) pretty much everything is included in those (plus the 2 "Past Masters" volumes for singles), I never had any emotional attachment to the original sequencing because I was born in 1971 and just figured I'd go for those rather than the Beatles Capitol box sets. Isn't one of those discs the one where they have bloody meat and chewed up baby dolls all over them? Not Rubber Soul, that was the original and quickly withdrawn cover of Revolver, their next album.

Can you loan me your copy of Kyoto Jazz Massive?

Recently covered by both Tania Libertad (from Peru, I think), and Iraida Noreiga (Mexico), both of whom I like, at least a little. On the other hand, there's the vile Enrique Iglesias, to be avoided at all costs.

I am similarly enamoured of Tres Palabras, as I have three versions in my itunes library--Bobby Hutcherson (from Skyline), Kenny Burrell with Coleman Hawkins, and Charlie Haden (Nocturne). I haven't run across a vocal version yet.
