Free For All

I wish I had some advice for you Al, but all I can offer is hope that this goes away without any more nastiness. Good luck!

Sounds like the first line of a blues tune. "Sittin' at the libary waiting to get my taxes done (I said I'm) sittin' at the libary waiting to get my taxes done The taxman he take it all away and I don't get to keep me none" I like "libary" just as is.

Well said.

I've been very busy (end of the school year coming up & some out of town gigs) and haven't had much time to listen more than once. I did enjoy the music, Dan, but I didn't recognize much so I haven't had much to contribute. Nice collection of tunes though! Thanks.

I'm very sorry for your loss, VB. The loss of a parent is a tough thing to deal with, and the poor behavior of the hospital staff obviously hasn't provided much comfort. My mom passed in '94, and I think about her every day- sometimes I even dream about talking to her (those are great dreams). I think losing a loved one is something from which you never completely recover, but learn to live with over time. I always try to think about what my mom would want me to do, and that always comforts and guides me. I'm glad you've chosen to share this- I think finding the words to describe your feelings is a healthy step in coping with a loss like this. Best wishes.

That's not bad at all, really. Ours was a lot more, but we have some complicated biz w/our taxes. Our tax guy is really good too, and keeps us out of trouble. "Ours" "we" "Our" "us" Wow, this is an old MF thread.....

Happy Birthday!

FWIW the blowing changes on Freddie's Red Clay (four bar vamp) consist of the same chord sequence as the "A" section of Sunny.

Check out the Green Mill if you can.

As well as chewy, of course.

Works for me.

Why? Because we like you.... J S N....G R Y.......M.O. = "U.S.E."* * Unusual Situations Explored You ever heard the Franklin Ajaye bit about Mickey Mouse? I won't give away the punchline here, but a little 2ng hand sleuthing might yield this: in which case, carpe diem & laugh your ass off at what happens when Mickey goes to get it on with Minnie. I deleted my post because your Woody Shaw post seemed all serious and shit and I felt like mine was superfluous and unnecessary. But thank you anyway for the acknowledgement.

Recorded on Penny Arcade. When I was in college we had Joe as a guest artist once. (Miles251, you remember that?) I don't remember all the tunes he played, but I do remember a chart on his tune "Molten Glass" from Song of the Wind (nice tune). I remember Joe was very cool and approachable. Too bad he wasn't around longer, he really was a great player IMO. I like all the sessions mentioned already. And another vote for Friends. The smurf cover was a turnoff for many, but there is some great music there. Brother Joe played some baaad flute. paul secor: was the live Byard session you were referring to the "Last from Lennie's" session? That is a nice one.

...trombones AND French horns. Beautiful Mancini sound.

Nice! Looks like it was a fun gig. I would have liked to hear a little more of Invitation, I like that tune. Forgive me for not knowing (or perhaps having forgotten), but which one is you TTK?

I agree; the bridge especially. Lots of big intervals and intricate harmony. Not an easy one to sing, but she nailed it. I got nervous when she started to scat on the ending, but she nailed that too. Always have liked that tune.

Happy Birthday! Go have a breakfast burrito at Harry's Roadhouse for me!

....Mighty Shlomi has Struck Out.

Jazz and the Pill Jazz and the Wild Party Jazz and the Next Door Neighbor Jazz and the Coed Dorm Jazz and the Nervous Lover Oh, sorry. I guess I was suffering from a Love American Style flashback. Cue Stuart Margolin, or perhaps Larry Storch. Or perhaps a little Joey Heatherton?

So would that be a mortartorium?

The spam is ended but the Melody lingers on.

Lou Donaldson is in town tonight, playing at a Tallahassee jazz club w/a local rhythm section. No doubt sammiches will be served. The club is fairly new- it was started by a local bass player, Clarence Seay (pronounced "C"- the club is called "B Sharp's" ). Clarence has played with a lot of notables, including Billy Harper (I hope Clarence can get him to come sometime!). The club is small, but it's doing well and has become a place for FSU students to perform as well as area musicians, with the occasional out-of-town treat, like Lou. I'm looking forward to it.

Wow, I thought it was a picture of some new kind of turntable.
