Yes, welcome, Jim!

So Claude's an ugly baby that grew up to be a frighteningly muscled female body builder?

I certainly don't care for this one: (middle name is Jay by the way)

no "Time out"?!!!!! On vinyl. These are CDs I am bringing into the office.

Great!

That or the possibility that with summer upon us, participation will decline. We know from experience that board traffic slows in the summer. Don't worry, it will probably be worse when my next turn comes, in the dog days of August.

I'm gaining some experience in this area due to a project I've taken on for a board member. But its hard to judge because the deck is hooked up to a PC rather than decent stereo speakers. But I can tell you that professional quality reels (like, for broadcast) record at 15 ips, so anything recorded at 7 or 3 3/4 isn't going to sound as good as it could. Its too bad reels for the home market had the lower speeds.

I was transferring a New Year's eve radio program from reel to CD for a board member, and when I came to a ten minute bit from Nordine, sorry, but his pseudo hip jive got to be grating in about fifteen seconds and I decided to edit it out (with permission). Maybe I should have given it a longer chance? I must say I was impressed at the end of the segment when they listed some of the man's voice over credits.

Precisely why I chose to do this. Don't tell Nessa-he wouldn't understand.

It's criminally short, about 30 minutes, but really, really good. Rushing is in fine voice, as would be expected, and Brubeck fits with him very well. I'd grab it if I were you.

Its worth it just for the Sweets/Buck Clayton date, which is quite superb.

That's a very strange balance to me Time to invest in some essential albums. I was waiting for someone to point this out! But, strange to say, I have always preferred Brownie's descendants to Brownie himself (I think you know which Brownie I'm speaking of, Brownie! Not that I count Blanchard necessarily under that heading, but Lee, Byrd, Freddie ...) And trust me, there are a few Brown/Roach titles that are filed under Max

I could actually see a good result on the JT tune. Maybe.

Well now I see that something went wrong with my first update of the workweek, so this will have to be an extra long list: Clarence Gatemouth Brown: American Music, Texas Style Sings Louis Jordan (highly recommended Black and Blue CD) Charles Brown: Blues and Other Love Songs So Goes Love Clifford Brown: Sextet in Paris Quartet in Paris Memorial Album Mel Brown: Chicken Fat The Wizard Odel Brown and the Organ-izers; Raising the Roof Mellow Yellow Ducky Ray Brown: Hot Tracks After You've Gone (both co-led by Herb Ellis) Seven Steps to Heaven Don't Get Sassy Summertime Much in Common (with Milt Jackson) Live at Starbucks Producer's Choice Live at Scullers Some of My Best Friends are The Trumpet Players Some of My Best Friends are Guitarists Some of My Best Friends are the Sax Players Don't Forget the Blues Three Dimensional Red Hot Ray Brown Trio Soular Energy Summer Wind Black Orpheus Moore Makes Four Bam Bam Bam Private Recording of one of Ray's last gigs, at the Germany Jazz Festival Tom Browne: Another Shade of Browne (interesting straightahead date by a guy who's made his living in smooth jazz but says he's always loved Morgan, et. al.) Dave Brubeck: Blues Roots (with Gerry Mulligan) Brubeck and Rushing Jimmy Bruno: Live at Birdland I - with Bobby Watson Live at Birdland II - with Scott Hamilton Bobby Bryant: Ain't Doing too B-A-D, BAD Big Band Blues Paul Bryant Burnin' Groove Time Something's Happenin' (the last two are cool dates Fantasy should put out, with Plas Johnson and Gatemouth Brown among others) 255

I can only imagine what Chris A. will have to say about this. Stefan, I didn't even know this was coming out-who else is on it and what are the tunes?

You didn't know that Rudy's parents installed an orange spotlight in the living room?

No more than people who scan the BFT discussion threads before posting their answers.

The only shemale I've encountered was when I worked in a phone sex office (not talking dirty, mind you!) and one of the "girls" was this tall, pretty redhead. Yes, I'll admit it, she was pretty-but something was a bit off, and I quickly found out from one of my co-workers. But what I got a kick out of was her chosen female name: Fabia. Get it? The female version of Fabio ....

I disagree-I thought this one was the least obvious dude: Oh, and I was 14/16, by the way.

Speaking of Bobby Watson, and unless this is limited to CD titles and not song titles, how about the tune "Monk He See, Monk He Do"?

Sorry, Marcus, I've just been terribly busy since you posted this. I'll try to refresh my memory over the weekend ...

Looks that way from here, too.

More nice stuff on this one, thanks, EKE! (though I could do without the tracks better left in the dustbin of history I gotta believe its Sweets on track 9. I kept thinking Hawk on track 2 but from everyone else I can see that's wrong, and I hate to admit it, but while everyone else seems to have no problem identifying Dizzy on his own tune, I thought it might be Miles.

Don't listen to Nessa. In his world, anyone who doesn't follow the Nessa Definition of a Jazz Fan is worthless. Peter, if you like the BN Lighthouse material, this is more of the same, and very worthwhile.

I'd say sorry I've offended you but I've ceased giving a shit about the likes of you. But you might note that no one's name is attached to the poll results. No one knows who placed themselves in what category, or if they did. That's the beauty of polls, both the legitimate and the online type.
