ghost of miles

Couw, that would be great! Could you put in "Stone Junkie" and "Pusherman" as well? The show airs in 6 hours, but I can have an engineer dub it pretty quickly at the station. Let me know... Thanks to everybody for your suggestions. David

Make that 4.5.

Totally cribbing from my fellow board members here for a radio show I'm doing on Percy Mayfield tomorrow/today (Friday afternoon). So far I have the following: Stanley Turrentine, "River's Invitation" Oscar Brown Jr., "Please Send Me Someone to Love" Phineas Newborn, same Gotta be more... I'm rackin' my brain but not coming up with anything else right now. I have the Tangerine CD and both Specialty CDs, and I also have two of the sides he did for Supreme in the late 1940s, as well as a couple of Ray Charles recordings of Mayfield tunes. Just looking for several additional jazz versions to round out the show.

How long till Jim Sangrey deletes this thread?

Or not?

Did I already mention that this is the most Socratic thread this board has ever seen?

Why do you ask?

Playlist from today's Coltrane tribute.

Not much is easily available but quite a bit is out there. There's a Decca best of that's supposedly OK but what I've been didgging is one of the UK EMI two-on-one cds (ya'll might know from your Peggy Lee or Julie London or Dakota Staton interests)-- "Meets Cole Porter" (w/Billy May) & "At The Crescendo" (small combo, Jeri on piano) I picked it up at J&R for $15 & it shouldn't be more than $20 anywhere. There's a Jasmine disc of Decca material that's not too expensive either but I'm sometimes wary of Jasmine stuff, they have that big CEDAR logo on hte back... I Concentrate on You Clem Yeah, I ordered a bunch of those a week or so ago, but the only one that's showed up so far is a Jasmine of live broadcasts. It's OK--she goes flat a lot, not something that normally bugs me too much, but it seems to happen a lot on this particular comp. I have that Decca THE VERY THOUGHT OF YOU & ordered the Cole Porter you mention plus a couple other two-on-ones... and a friend is going to loan me his Fresh Sounds version of MEETS JOHNNY SMITH. Thanks for hepping my memory to her, Clem. I've had that Decca comp ever since it came out & have always meant to get into her records more.

I was just enjoying Mr. Watts' sound half-an-hour ago as I played Gerald Wilson's version of "Equinox" on my Coltrane tribute program! Wasn't he a part of Quartet West as well?

I'll have some interview comments from Frank on the edition of "Just You and Me" that I'm guest-hosting today (3:30-5 p.m.), talking about both LULLABLUEBYE and the new Maria Schneider record as well--and music from those CDs too, of course, in addition to tracks from the recent Ted Nash and Ben Allison CD. He'll also be on Night Lights this week, talking about the Herbie Nichols Project. WFIU

Three of mine:

A quick AMG search yields two others: and this one: Manny Albam

I have the George Russell & the Hal McKusick, as well as the ARRANGERS cd, mentioned elsewhere, that contains the Johnny Carisi session. What else came out in this RCA series?

Is the house on fire?

Where the hell are my pants?

Is it not unlike Dracula?

Who would have believed that this thread could come back yet again?

Hey, I know that guy on the left! From last month:

Berigan, You're giving me flashbacks to 1964- I was an eight year old who thought Mickey Mantle was the coolest thing on Earth(hadn't heard Miles yet), and I was so excited that they were in the World Series. I got to watch some of the games(most were played in daylight hours, not like now, when you have to stay up 'til 12:30A.M. on the East Coast to see the end of the game), and I suffered much heartbreak as the Cardinals beat the Yanks in 7. Little did I know then that the Yanks would not make the postseason until 1976. The Cards do have a great team, and I think you're right about resting Pujols & Edmonds. PhillyQ, check out the David Halberstam book October 1964. Got it for a buddy of mine not long ago, and it looked so good that I've decided to hunt down a copy for myself.

To a fellow Elliott Smith fan & devotee, in addition to being yet another all-around cool Organissimo poster--cheers!

Just came across a copy of this on my colleague's desk, and it looks quite interesting--in fact, I've periodically longed to read a book on just such a topic. Anybody else here ever peruse it? It was written by Bill Moody & came out in 1993.

Yes, I have the old Chess CD copy of FREE, but I'd never heard TURNING POINT before, and it's gorgeous.

Trigger pulled! Guess that means all 37 are gone now... everybody else better start scouring e-bay.
