  1. Second the above, plus one I believe is called "Dynamic Duo", a set with Tete Montoliu. Eastern Rebellion w/Cedar Walton I also like the recordings from the mid sixties w/Chet Baker.
  2. I forgive you and remain hopeful that one day you will see the error of your ways. BTW, if you don't like the bone/tenor combination, you might as well give up on the band as a whole, 'cause that's their SOUND. Trumpet/tenor would not sound like the Crusaders at all.
  3. Galveston Galumpher? Waxahachie Wailer? ← Elgin Elvis? Waco Willie? Arlington Arnie? Brownsville Skidmark? Houston Person?
  4. I just heard it was 128 in Death Valley. 53 Celsius!
  5. I smell a tune title...................
  6. I heard that it was 122 in Palm Springs today. WTF!
  7. I've always had a soft spot for the 1978 Columbia release Super Blue. An obvious attempt to recreate some of his CTI days that for the most part worked out pretty well IMHO. Not sure if it's in print though. My CD copy is an import that I purchased quite some time ago.
  8. for some reason that reminded me of this....
  9. Hot'n humid. Hot'n humid. Hot'n humid. Hot'n humid. (vamp til cue)
  10. I agree with your list, and would add Terrell Stafford. I've admired his playing for quite some time. I had the opportunity to hang and play with him this summer and discovered that he's also a real nice guy. And he plays his ASS off.
  11. Al Davis? .....................................yeah, I can see it.
  12. Another good one is the video "One Man Twins". I don't know if it's out on DVD. Some great live footage of RRK (with Chicago legend Robert Shy on drums) from 1972.
  13. Yes, SRG&S is a nice compilation of RRK's Warner sessions.
  14. So do you now have breakfast issues?
  15. A few of my favorites (RRK is one of those artists whose presence on any recording is incentive for me to obtain it)............................. Rig, Rip and Panic/Now Please Don't You Cry, Beautiful Edith (twofer) We Free Kings w/Jack McDuff, Kirk's Work Roy Haynes, Out of the Afternoon Mingus, Oh Yeah If you ever happen upon a copy of the Mercury box, grab it! There are many others, but I will stop here and observe other board members offer their choices.......... edited for spelling...........
  16. I've been revisiting an old friend this summer.
  17. Happy birthday! Today is also the birthday of the late great Nick Brignola, RIP. Hope you have/had a good one!
  18. Elis, you describe Dennis Chambers as if he's deceased. He's still around, isn't he?
  19. Happy Birthday! (sounds like it was)
  20. Yes Gemini is a good album but when it goes cheesy, it goes way cheesy. The two tracks with the saxist Walter Smith III are stellar. He is one to watch! ← The synth tracks are definitely cheesy. No need for the synth.
  21. I just returned from a week out of town, so I apologize for being late to the party. H a P p Y b I r T h D a Y e K e B b ! ! !
  22. BTW, regarding the LCJO I recently heard from a very reliable source that Wynton has been having some rather serious chop problems lately. Have you (or anyone else here) heard and/or noticed anything to further confirm this? And regarding Sean Jones, I've been enjoying his latest recording (Gemini). Pretty eclectic stylistically, but throughout SJ is blowing some good shit IMHO.
  23. Well cb-a, I certainly respect your opinion, but in this case I don't happen to agree- I guess it all depends on our specific experiences. I've heard him in various contexts (his own sides, Mingus Big Band, sideman appearances) and must say I've been impressed. He may not be "there" yet, but IMHO he's headed in a good direction. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.
