Didn't the MJQ do an album "One for Connie" or something like that? Aside from Roker, I would think that would qualify as close to that average age.

No, and I didn't mean to imply that it was. I was referring to One Foot in the Gutter as a whole.

According to AMG, he received his law degree in 1976, and a Ph.D. from Columbia Teacher's College in 1982.

Yeah, 68 feedbacks seems odd, but in the end, I don't think this is extraordinarily "fishy" at all. I think a lot of sellers do their feedback all at once, and it appears this guy won auctions that ended Feb. 17 and earlier. Maybe this seller had a bunch of albums the guy was interested in and willing to pay for, and it just so happens that on March 28 was when the seller went back and submitted feedback? Furthermore, if this were some sort of "fishy" transactions, like an attempt to pump up feedback numbers, what's the point? As several people have pointed out, no one really cares what a buyer's feedback is, and that's what this guy is: a buyer. And in addition to that, if it was a conspiracy to pump up feedback, why do it in a way that apparently makes people think its "fishy"?

Maybe not on this night. Arroyo: 6 innings of three hit, two run ball. Jaret Wright: Six runs and eight hits in 4+ innings.

Interesting concepts, I'm not sure that the later BN recordings really deserve Mosaic treatment. I mean, Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow has got to be one of the worst recordings BN ever did! But the other two are good ideas, and I'll forward all of them to Michael. I'm pretty sure, though, that Michael is trying to figure out a way to put out the material from the first era with BN, the "classic" era. The problem has always been the lack of variety in the recordings. Which suggests another possible idea for a Select: The Three Sounds PLUS sessions: Collect the Lou Donaldson, Stanley Turrentine, and unissued Ike Quebec recordings, I think there was a Grant Green session, too. That would also be a natural fit to include the two Four Sounds tracks.

There's a GEMM seller who has the CD for $14 and change, and his feedback and fill rate are very good. http://www.gemm.com/ddc/search.pl?&a_refno=GML589812193

No way anyone should pay $25 for an Applause reissue. This was issued as a Conn. but I don't know how hard it is to track down.

if you can't, walk. Its worth it, and you're old enough to cross the street without supervision.

Good memory, Dave. He's on Two Feet in the Gutter. Man, those three Bailey LPs really cry out for a Mosaic Select!

Thanks for digging that out, Bill. What I'd like to know is, was KD ever so dismissive in any other review? I do wonder if he'd have been more gentle with a better guitarist in the group.

Not a big discography but you can see what he's on if you go to the allmusic site, look up his page, and click "credits".

I have an LP transfer and I'm almost 100% certain he does not.

Good to know - I'm not so disappointed that Marty doesn't have that one. Thanks, Bertrand. There's also a two tune, 27 minute set of the Gilmore Messengers in Paris. Says circa 1964, but checking Mike Fitzgerald's site, it must have been February 27 or 28, 1965. Then there's this from Mike's site: And in catalog of VHS tapes, 60 minutes of one of the Japanese tours, including three tunes with a "Japanese big band" and Bill Henderson on "My Funny Valentine". Did I mention how cool Marty's VHS collection is?

Forgive me, but "infamous" how? Also, do you know if the Blakey with Gilmore was the source for that Moon CD of that group, or was that some other concert?

I went with lime, though with diet coke I'll take either. Anyone else suck on the lemon after you've finished the soda? My wife gives me weird faces when I do it, but I don't care. Me likey!

Thanks for the info. Wish I knew more about what else might be available on VHS. In addition to what I mentioned above, Marty also has the Monk concert and the Woody Herman, and for that matter, maybe more, because he hasn't catalogued all the VHS, just the first 23 tapes.

That was exactly the point I was making, Marty. For the record, I think I own two of these, and I do enjoy them a lot but don't think of them as desert island material. That's just me and my 78.

Our friend Marty has let me start making transfers of his extensive collection of jazz on VHS, and one of the programs he has originated in London in the mid-60s, and I'm wondering if anyone knows more about "Jazz 625" hosted by Steve Race. Some great talents appeared on the show, including a two-part JJ Johnson-Sonny Stitt-Howard McGhee group doing Parker tunes; Art Farmer with the same group that appeared on the Jazz Casual show except its Pete LaRoca on drums, Hawk with Sweets, Webster with Stan Tracey and Ronnie Scott for one tune, Benny Golson ... anyone else seen this stuff, and does anyone know anything about the show itself?

The Joe Carroll features Grant Green.

Thanks, but I've read it several times. Each time it says that you are telling people what they should value and how much.

Why can't/shouldn't people get "carried away" if that's the way they feel about these recordings? Are you the jazz police, ready to tell people what they should value and how much they can value it?

I sent a PM to Jim about this, since Allen's transfer is en route, but I guess Jim's a bit busy what with the recording session and all ... Actually, there's another possibility for hearing this, though it would take a bit longer: Michael Cuscuna has told me that, if he figures out a way to do a Three Sounds Mosaic, and if there's space and the music is good, and if Gene's widow approves, he'd definitely like to include this as an earliest known recording. (And I ran it by Janie Harris and she's happy to give her consent, and she hasn't even heard it yet!)

Who knows. It seem as though his arm was fine with many pitches in the low to mid nineties. He wasn't wild (didn't walk anyone) but threw quite a few pitches, especially in the 2nd inning when he gave up 4 runs. Probably not a lot of movement on the ball early as the AAA batters were not fooled and were hitting the ball hard. He didn't get his first K until about the third inning and that was on a batter fouling off a bunt with 2 strikes. Well, the ESPN report leaves no doubt that Schilling expects to make his debut, and it also makes it sound like he was a bit better than his number suggested, at least after the 2nd inning:

Not good. I wonder if he's going to make his scheduled debut against the Yanks on the 13th.
