Go for it, Michael! It's surely the same person, and I'll bet she has some wonderful stories to tell. I've always loved the way she sang Stravinsky's Mass, and it's always seemed a shame to see her name buried in a list of choristers. A great voice.

Here's a fairly cogent explanation, copped from kuro5hin.org:

Hey, I told ya, I wasn't there. Me and the boys was just playin' cards. This is how rumors are born. (But seriously, folks. It was a heart attack, I think. I still have the newspaper clipping announcing Budd's death somewhere, but don't ask me where right now...)

Term used to trash harmonies that the hearer didn't understand.

Budd! I had a chance to attend the performance that turned out to be his last, and I didn't go for some reason. (It was at the Signboard Bar in Kansas City, with Jay McShann and Carmell Jones. He played beautifully that night, people said, and he died in the hotel afterward.) Webster and Byas! Yes, it was recorded too late, but I love that disc anyway.

I think a check of last posts in threads would show that I am the champion discussion-killer. Or maybe it's just that my pithy insights are DEFINITIVE.

One more vote for the prime Montreux set, often overlooked because it wasn't released until the '80s.

No report on the AP wire yet. (The AP reported Elvin's death just a couple of hours after we heard it on Organissimo, from Aric.)

Hey, don't dis the savior of the human race! Planetism rules!

Willie "The Lion" Smith!

Late posted the "Hub-Tones" cover; thought I'd follow up with the cover of "True Blue":

If this one doesn't sell, the label will force him to make "Nojo Meets Jamo."

Today's mail brought this opus from one Macey Kelvin, entitled "Is It Funny?" Me friend rock live. Watch just use. The saw even two serve, wood. Wave try way. Cross did fight I us. My many, ago true.

Some of you are going to think this is a joke. It isn't. When he had the right kind of rhythm section, Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson would play AND sing the hell out of "Laura." Just beautiful. A great memory.

I'm an anonymous copy editor and headline writer for a newspaper. (That's why I'm up at this hour.) Also do some jazz journalism on the side.

Someone down in the tunnel had just asked him, "Where is Brooklyn?"

Lou's version is a cover. The version heard on the show was by Quincy Jones.

Five words: Karl Amadeus Hartmann. Gyorgy Kurtag.

Stefan, I know who the winner is... I'm trying to scrape together the payment right now!

The CD was called "New Sounds," catalog number 84436. Probably OOP, of course. The CD also had the first Art Blakey's Messengers session. (P.S.: "James ‘Mtume’ Forman," yeah, right!)

I'd swear the vinyl mix was different from the CD -- much darker, with the keyboards not as trebly. But it's been a lot of years since I heard the vinyl, the LP has gotten away, and my memory ain't what it used to be.

Just found it listed on a seller's site: Rodney Jones, "When You Feel the Love." Seller doesn't give catalog number for CD, but the LP was Timeless SJP 152.
