Free For All

I believe it was the New School in NYC. He studied w/Junior Mance, Fred Hersch and Kenny Werner.

Do you get the feeling we're kind of blowing the groove of the ol' "What's For Dinner" thread?

"Organissimo Rocks, Robert Blake Walks!" Howzzat?

I continue to refrain from buying this one in hopes that they might reissue it with more sensible packaging. But it is Verve we're talking about, isn't it?

So Aric's boot-out was the defining ratings moment? So Aric's expulsion was like the last episode of M*A*S*H or the last Tonight Show? That's heavy.

I made the mistake of cutting up some jalapenos and then had to go *handle some toilet paper* if you know what I mean. HOOTCHIE MAMA!!!! OK, I now realize two things: 1) that was too much information and 2) no one is ever going to come to my house for dinner ...but I just had to share!

The one that got me hooked was Vespertine. Just a beautiful side from beginning to end. Since then I've added Post, Medulla and Selmasongs. Great stuff.

I actually have a little fondness for Alone Again- Woody's band had a recording of it (I think it was on The Raven Speaks) that featured Bobby "Butter" Burgess and he did a great job of "polishing a turd" IMHO.

I believe it was "Eager Beaver".

When I was a young lad, I remember my dad playing "Several Shades of Jade" frequently. I still love to listen to it. Always loved that cover too. Hope you return to post some more, Rob. I'm sure the members here would love to ask questions and hear stories! (I know I would!)

Lester Sleeps In.

Yes, there certainly are no meaningless posts on the other sites.

I recently joined BMG and I must say since my initial purchase there hasn't been much to get excited about. The biggest drag is that even with the promotions, their HEFTY shipping/handling charges make it much less of a good deal. So far from me. Maybe it will change- we'll see.

I highly recommend this one. Absolutely hilarious. Great for parties.

I'm going to hold out for the Woody Shaw Underoos.

The use of the word "ape" is what did it for me.

You're right, I didn't read carefully enough. Nevermind!

This is the one to get if you can find it, IMHO. Mysterious Traveller is a good one to be sure.

I like that you have dessert for breakfast. I must try that!

*Leave now and NEVER come back!*

It's Nessa-sary music.

I saw this show when it was first on the air. I remember even then wishing that someone would whack Dr. Smith. They had some spectacularly cheesy special effects and alien costumes.
