It's taken me 1/2 hour to catch up on this Ullysesian thread. Even if you do prefer DEEP, you'll always be LDB to me. Didn't you say you worked for Anita O"Day for while? That has to be good for some tales. My son is producing a disc with the Ancient Anita and young studs, Seamus Blake, James Zoller and Warren Smith. He's out here this week and I'll be quizzing him about Ms. O'Days demeanor.

Here I am, nursing a minor league hangover and I find all this nastiness. Through my bloodshot eyes, I see that some souls are upset with the LDB diatribes while others are amused. I am afraid that that old tub thumper will piss off enough folks and end up hitting the road, searching, searching for a new home. I hope not, this cat has always been good for a few big laughs from yrs truly. And this morning I need a few good laughs, and about 11 Advils.

I offfered, but he said something about warding off the blows of enemies. A man is entritled to the chapeau of choice. I wonder what NEW YORK big band guys are wearing these days. Hey, I heard Joe Lovano's cut of "Good Bait" with Scott Robinson, George Garzone et al and liked it a whole bunch. The chart is VERY familiar. The "battle" with Joe and Cary Pribeck is stil my favorite of all time. HOP

I'm the good loking one. Can't you tell? LDB The other guy is my COnquistador pal in El Fuerte, Sinaloa, Mexico. Senor HOP

LDB Chuck loves the first one and plays it refularly. Last time the program diector asked for a copy. Dig? HOP B)

The saintly patricia is a blessing to all of us. But I still love ya, LDB, you crazy guy!

Dare I suggest George Benson? Some of you seem to be categorizing grunting as singing, a la Hamp, Jarrett, Oscar Peterson, etc. If that is singing, then I would have to include Pee Wee Russell. And Benny Goodman for that matter . .

Thanks for the input guys. I guess I'll just have to wait 'til springtime. IMHO, Dave Brubeck is one of the most creative musicians in jazz history, regardless of how one feels about his pianio playing.

I read somewhere that Columbia/Sony was releasing a complete Dave Brubeck box of all the "time out" off tempos, not just "Time Out." Anybody know about this?

'Free For All" probably my all-time favorite Bu but it's closely followed by "Indestrucitible," the Birdland and Cafe Bohemia live discs, "3 Blind Mice" 1 & 2, and. . . Wotthell, I love virtually every thing that my #1 jazz hero did.

I have the complete Bill Evans on Riverside which contains all the tracks, as far as I know. I've always enjoyed these in spite of the audience chatter.

Hey Harold! I am totally unfamiliar with Lou Mecca. Who did he play with?

I've never been kicked out of a site. I have been firmly escorted out of some saloons in my day.

I have a lot of time so I hit all three of the boards. I've just started posting here. I have a lot of friends at JC and at least for me, the software doesn't seem to be that slow probably because of my high speed business dsl line. I find that the music discussions there are way too dominated by discussions (at least to me) obscure AG players so I don't post much in that forum. I have a lot of fun in the Alley which IMHO is the most lively forum I hit. AAJ seems to me to contain more about the players and music I enjoy but the folks there, and this is is a real generality, don't demonstrate much of a sense of humor. So I'll be dropping in here to see what gives. I think it's wonderful to have three jazz sites to hand out in.

Hey Jim. I've been loading that ipod every day. It's become my new best friend. Thanks for the tip on the itunes software, it's pretty slick.

It very surprising to me that because of a couple of threads which are out of the norm can cause someone to "hold the board hostage." My friend writes with wild humor and great knowledge of the music. Why some thinskins need to sanitize everything is beyond me. I will admit that the Edelstein (sp?) thread got a bit booooring though.

May you find deep happines in your new home.
