Arn't Donald Byrd's Mustang, Blackjack and Slowdrag comprised of several split sessions?

Nice read Cliff

I have Larry Ridley's Sum of the Parts on Charley; is that a legit reissue?

katanga! is great album!

:party:

Wow. The footage and photos are amazing! Thanks for posting!

If you can find it, Rag, Bush and All is a great one from the Sextett period.

Have you had the opportunity to listen to this one Bill? I've been thinking about picking this one up myself. Not yet, but its high on the priority list. I'll give you my impressions, as soon as I give it a listen.

Some nice used cd hauls 'round town: Fats Navarro-Memorial-Savoy Fats Navarro-Nastalgia-Savoy Presenting Ernie Henry-Riverside/OJC Dave Brubeck-We're All Together for the First Time-Atlantic Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers-Freedom Rider-BN Billy Taylor Trio-My Fair Lady Loves Jazz-Impulse!

Unbelievable value at $40.

My wife over the past 12 years has slowly warmed up to some of the milder stuff I play like Swing, Swang, Swinging by McLean, but she definitely does not like free jazz or anything that gets wild or out of control (she refers to it as an orchestra warming up). Having said that, she gets how much I love jazz and even tolerates it when I blow a couple hundred here and there (so long as I can convince her that the cds I'm buying are rare and OOP ) and that I play the wilder stuff when she's not around. All in all, not a bad arrangement.

Is this release easily found? I'd like to get it. Yeah, me too. Could you give label info? Thx.

Happy Birthday Tom!

Funny that I generally enjoy the sessions that sat in the can more than the originally released dates, like Third Season, Thinking of Home and A Slice of the Top. No Room for Squares is the exception.

Rolling black-out season has officially begun

It cooled down to 90 degrees today.

Major loss for the Cavs and Cleveland. Can't blame LeBron for leaving though. Oh well, isn't that the story of Cleveland sports anyway?

My car said it was 98 degrees outside when I left for work at 2:30pm. Subsequently burned my arm on the inside of my car door.
