I thought Ain't Misbehavin' myself.

Not my scene but big congratulations! What is the derivation of "singularity codex"?

I don't know about total rave - reviewer said the second half was a lot of cataloguing of gigs and tours and other things. But the first half sounds like a humdinger with his Vietnam experience. And I think one can be both horrified at the way he was sent to Vietnam while also feeling as if anyone in the army should be able to read the room and not mess with Francis Scott Key or Sousa in his arrangements.

He not only wants a political discussion but is the one who mentions "woke" and accuses people of being supporters of the current governor of Florida.

The shit-stirrer deleted his posts and announced his departure - then came back for more. I am only asking him to have the integrity to do what he promised. He wants to continue to shit-stir, have at it.

You're the only person who brought up "Woke", not to mention the Governor of the state of Florida. My recommendation: When you have a hissy fit and delete all your own comments on a thread, you forfeit the right to come back and start adding new, idiotic comments. You said you don't belong here. So stay away.

Sonny is recorded on cassette, watching an episode of a TV show? That sounds absurd but on the other hand, since the tape was apparently given him, it seems easy to conclude that he didn't care for the performance and therefore the cassette could be used again .... for audio of him watching TV. My head hurts.

Feldman ought to turn in his Detective Badge.

I am confused ... is the reality of a second saxophone completely ignored in these expansive liners? And this, on the "Jazz Detective" label? That's too funny.

You are saying the tape received had been written over, and that was what got digitized?

Could you formally dismiss my two weak-ass guesses? One has since been ID'd but I don't think the other one has yet.

Sorry to hear this Kevin. When you are ready I hope you do tell us about her.

Well I did owe Big Al a listen ... just wish I had a different reaction than Thom's. Afraid this didn't hit the spot, no it did not. What happened to the greeeeaaasse, Big Al?

Well we all know I am only good at compiling BFTs, not reacting to others but I will throw out two guesses: 11 - Red Holloway. 13 - Scott Hamilton. Otherwise, I really enjoyed #2, and in general, things perked up for me starting with #8 and continuing until the girl singer kinda stopped it dead in its tracks. (I did like 4-6 as well.) I have this nagging feeling that 9 and 11 and maybe 14 are more recent, adept efforts to recreate an era by musicians I don't know. Overall, an enjoyable break in the work day and I hope you get some more action on this one.

You are not a remotely serious person who should have quit while he was so far behind. It is remarkable to consider that no one has expressed an ounce of support for your assertion of 'sexism' as the determining factor in Mosaic's releases over the past 40 years. You might reconsider your views but instead you embarrass yourself every single time you post on this thread.

I don't even think that matches People Magazine which was described once as having one editorial rule: no articles that take longer to read than the average crap. OK that was in The Big Chill which remains a favorite of mine and loathed by some people here. At some point, perhaps before it stops publishing altogether, I will find myself at the nearest Barnes & Noble so I can have a gander. Perhaps there will be a car wreck on the way that will also command a little attention.

Well-put. I sincerely doubt the first bolded statement is the case, when a "teacher" finds :"sexism" without evidence and then screams it from the rooftop. You ought to know that correlation is not causation. Whatever your subject, I pity your students.

Maybe Rosenthal's book wasn't that great due to his head-banging. Actually I didn't think the book was that bad maybe I will leaf thru it again. The 60s must have been a remarkable time for the socially inept and/or repulsive to get laid on the regular.

When was this?

I am most mindful of this: Their opponents in March and April had a combined .427 winning percentage through Wednesday, but none of their May opponents had a losing record entering the month. The Red Sox have barely climbed above .500 but they have also played more than twice as many games against teams with .500 or better records than the Rays (27 vs 13). They don't have the pitching to keep up, barring a miracle among the starters, but I have to admit they have some younger/new players that I find fun and exciting to watch, starting with their Japanese import Mr. Yoshida, continuing with the seeming blossoming of Alex Verdugo into a very dangerous hitter and a catching tandem (one of whom was a throw-in to the Mookie Betts trade that brought Verdugo to the roster) that leads the league in hits by catchers.

I've told the story before but the former Gene Harris Fanatic only got one chance to see him in person, which was at the Blue Note in NYC with the rest of the Ray Brown Trio. At the time his feature was "Summertime" and it was captured on CD on the release Bam Bam Bam, which also was captured on video here: Now, that's a helluva performance if you love Gene but imagine the same approach to the tune extended for about twice as long, with Gene again alternating between those delicate passages and the romping/rocking style, like Spinal Tap going to 12 on their amps instead of 11. I have never in my life heard a louder or more sustained crowd response at the end of a tune than in that cramped club. My ears were ringing - loudly. But to top it off, Ray Brown brought the house down again, just as loudly, when he looked over at Gene and said "you keep playing that piano like that, it's gonna follow you home!" Edit to add: I started posting without realizing Pim was looking more for personal encounters so here's one: Jim Alfredson is still a personable chap even after eating a plate of very bad fish at Boston's in Delray Beach, FL. The lights were not helping his complexion much, either.

Hey kiddos, if you only have a total of 20 minutes of music, master at 45 RPM to fill out two sides, and sell it for $60 or more! How could Mosaic be missing this opportunity? Riches aplenty! </sarcasm> Ridiculous. https://www.jazzmessengers.com/en/95931/dexter-gordon-donald-byrd/the-berlin-studio-session-1963?mc_cid=550cd4307d&mc_eid=65354821cd

I think it's unfortunate Meg is so insecure as to have so much work done ... but what was shocking to me is to discover that she and Tracy Pollan - MJ Fox's wife - are the same age. Either Pollan has the genes or she's got a better doctor but I know who's aged well and who hasn't.

I do think Lon is right, with the exception that the recent return of the Paul Desmond set with Ed Bickert involved a discovery of many "pieces" of the set, which triggered a negotiation of a new lease with a limit of 3500 copies. But if I remember weren't the original recordings done by an individual - not held by any large conglomerate. It was probably pretty easy to make a new deal, for new cash flow.

Once upon a time, and I realize this time is fading fast in the rearview mirror, someone at the NYT would have asked "was the group promoted as the Second Great Quintet? If not, then don't call it that."
