I'm surprised he's being compared to Powell because he's said he's mostly influenced by OP, Gene Harris, Bobby Timmons. Those are certainly the influences that come through on his records. I did see him in West Palm Beach a few years ago and he was very good.

Oh man that really stinks ... keep hanging in there and keep searching for the right doctors. Someone's gotta get to the bottom of this.

Is it Paul on the left or the right? Chuck, I thought you'd slimmed down a bit more ...

Well, I don't know how long Peter will take, if his wife's got to get it in the mail and he's settling into his new gig in Seattle. You could probably just post the answers whenever you want at this point.

Hope I don't forget anything: Stock Clerk/cashier at Woolworth's Tennis instructor/court supervisor, Wilton Parks and Recreation Party supply deliveryman, Taylor Rental (this job was off and on for many years, in between most of the following) Research Assistant, Washington University Teaching Assisant, Washington University Work crew for tent rental company (paid cash under the table, had to sue him for my last paycheck) Line work at small Medical manufacturing plant (I worked the end of the line, slipping the finished product (sterile hand and fingernail scrubbers for surgeons) into the dispenser boxes and then into the shipping boxes) Research Assistant, University of South Carolina Cashier, A&P Supermarket Managing Partner, Wimbledon Tennis Shop Announcer, WTNT-Tallahassee (part-time) telemarketing, cold calling for leads for a software company Announcer, WMLO-Tallahassee (full-time) Audio Production for a small commercial production house (horrible gig, martinet boss, killer deadlines but with stone age equipment that made it damn challenging to meet. Didn't last long-I wonder why?) telemarketing (the infamous gig in the phone sex industry) telemarketing, for a company selling a chemical to flush into your septic tank to breakdown the waste and prevent backups free lance voice talent Audio Production Manager, Virtual Languages

So you haven't outgrown it or anything, Dan? Nope, not yet ... and I have hope for new stuff someday. I got in touch with Gene's widow and she told me she has many sound board recordings of the quartet and that while Concord has passed on them, she is definitely considering putting them out herself. I turned her on to CD Baby and she agreed its a good way to go.

You're just noticing this now?

Pasta (we've come to like the Barilla brand stuffed shells, particularly the spinach and ricotta), salad and bread.

I just stumbled across this website, maybe its well known, but gobs and gobs of jazz vinyl, new and/or sealed reissues, and very reasonable prices. Here's the link to the jazz listing: http://www.vinyl.com/catalog/index.php?category_id=7 Edit: I now see that there's more jazz listed in the All-Artists section than what's categorized as jazz: http://www.vinyl.com/catalog/list_artists.php

Very interesting ... thanks for finding and posting that. I think there's a young man in Seattle who's gonna sh*t the proverbial brick when he sees this thread.

And thanks for the link. Contrary to what the guy says, I had no trouble downloading the tunes and saving them. Unfortunately real audio won't burn into CD format and sound right, but now I can hear the music without depending on the connection and the buffering.

Thanks for the clarification. Obviously he's talking about his career from the 70s on, when organs didn't have their appeal that they did in the 60s heyday, so its unfortunate, but surely he did record a lot before then.

Congratulations. It's a fact though that when you get older, your hearing will diminish, however slowly; it's part of the aging process. A really disturbing fact, because I lost hearing as a child, supposedly due to a childhood illness, and my time on the radio with headphones on didn't exactly help. So I'm not even 40 and sometimes wonder if I need to think about a hearing aid (or at least that I'll need one sooner rather than later). At least on the positive side, my hearing isn't acute enough to notice or care about all these supposedly inferior remasterings. It all sounds good to me, I just hope I can still hear it in 20 years!

Yes thought so. Heard in the Waiting Game liner notes that the reason they didn't release any others is because album sales were so low. That's largely true, but the fact is that Back to the Tracks was sequenced and mastered and pictured on the backs of other BN releases, but somehow slipped through and was never actually released at the time.

According to AMG, he recorded 19 times in the 1960s, including seven times before Misty got him some attention, so I really don't see how his opportunities were so limited. When was this boot made? Was it before Misty jump-started his career? It seems an odd thing for Holmes to be saying, unless he is referring simply to some specific clubs where he was blackballed or burned his bridges. But I would think that post-Misty, he had plenty of work, and he recorded pretty regularly for Pacific Jazz before Misty was his first Prestige recording. I'd be really curious to know when this recording was made.

Which is why I don't think, as the thread asks, "any generalizations can be said". Welcome to the board, Stew.

Jazzmatazz says Aug. 1. Hopefully Jim Gallert can keep us updated on this thread. Unfortunately, that's plenty of time for it to be pushed back and pushed back like the Bird release. But here's hoping it won't be!

Is there an expected release date?

I'm a voice talent when I get the call and in audio production otherwise.

This reminds me of the time when I was an undergrad at Florida State, watching SNL, and coming out of the first commercial break, the local NBC affiliate started broadcasting porn! At first I figured it was one of those short films, but then all of a sudden the girl was topless and fondling the guy through his jeans. And all of a sudden it was gone and the regular broadcast was back. I always figured that the engineer was watching a dirty movie and hit the wrong knob or something. Now, if I understand this story correctly, Ms. Day doesn't actually appear in the Italian porn film, right?

Argo. Go figure that one out. East coast boy likes Chicago label.

Didn't Ghost help bring Jim Gallert here to join the party? He'd be the one to share some details, I'd think. Definitely one I'll be all over. Where did you find the listing, Stefan? Is it on Alan's site?

They are people who have been banned, I believe. If you find GregM's posts, or Musicboy, you'll find their posts but they aren't registered users, I don't think.
