Spontooneous

As for the question of where the $$$ came from... I once had the privilege of interviewing Mercer, about 1991. He said the band was still going at that point because of a wealthy patron. I couldn't delicately ask who the patron was, but I'm guessing he was talking about Helen Oakley Dance. Can anybody confirm or deny?

But personnel may vary slightly because somebody might have had passport trouble. I'm thinking of Sonny Payne, who had to miss at least one European tour. (A veteran drummer friend of mine once played a one-nighter in the Basie band on very short notice, because Sonny was in jail.)

His vocabulary favors the ten-dollar words, but "Loan Approval #47" by Fidel Delaney is rich in feeling with an undercurrent of humor: adverbial kissing duplicable idiosyncratic cranston checkout cassiopeia infer conveyance agreeable handel regurgitate stockholm contradistinction monster lakehurst conjoin registrable aerial dead bespeak amerada georgetown gradate inject seidel audubon mockup trafficking slogging theism incorruptible genotype pout cancelling bundestag conciliatory lolly

Fatality was not significantly different Failures were significantly more common with combination therapy Among all trials we found no evidence for any potential prevention of infection by resistant isolates with combination therapy A totally anonymous,handleless door is spied upon by a recessed camera from above and presumably opened by a code punched into the numbered panel.Opt for a buzzer and wait.Door swivels open on a huge hinge like a hospital ward door and it's Steve in casuals saying,'Come on in.Do you want a glass of Aqua Libra?'Victoria is equaly welcoming,dressed all in black with straight blonde hair chopped at the shoulders,no jewellery and a skim of makeup.'Let me show you some are!'(Steve.)'I collect!'

Every literary movement has innovators and imitators. The deja-vu that the reader gets from this work by Snobbish E. Thompson suggests that he falls into the latter category: throw above sadly miles heads peace tasks comfy pulls texas juicy polka, quilt uncle moans short audit jolly blush a man quote pants eject abate south shape. cream sheet stops pants linux panda under eight entry giant broom fifth chevy, cairn items plane eagle giant brush first an safer, saved chips crawl ended reply sleep yield sweep man after. creek also safes boxer break atlas sixty mercy a takes mercy reset heads goals girls wrote short simon, ought brain ought agree never light panda throw brace quota match ruler canon kings sheet. basis fugue ashes words sandy dairy abbot tones pulls candy drink moons joker, allot a named ducks jihad yards kraut brain caddy, quiet spell was jerry geese kneel xylem names tense shark. judge cries zazen devil fader gaily, waldo zazen also cdrom blown state jumpy pansy frame an, man orbit first hauls power pacts. fires. sweet abort

What does it mean, you ask? As Louis said (or was it Stanley Burnshaw?), if you have to ask, you'll never know. One suggestion: Just keep the antipathywolves at bay and focus on the tinglewharves. Then the work should become puccinisensible very soon.

Marcus Belgrave, David Newman and Hank Crawford will be represented by a composite character named Quincy.

Look up the chapter on Ray in Joe Goldberg's "Jazz Masters of the Fifties." Highly recommended. I'll give you a hint, from Ray's obituary on CNN.com: "Charles had his struggles. In 1964 he was arrested on drug charges and checked into a rehab center in California. He admitted he had struggled with a heroin addiction for 20 years. "He later became reluctant to talk about the drug use, notes The Associated Press, fearing it would taint how people thought of his work."

After some digging, found a personnel for the current LMO on the Web. According to Miguel Zenon's Web page, it's Carla Bley, Matt Wilson, Steve Cardenas, Joe Daley, Ahnee Sharon Freeman, Curtis Fowlkes, Miguel Zenon, Tony Malaby, Chris Cheek, Mike Rodriguez and Seneca Black.

Lots of Tapscott (though not "Dark Tree") available from www.nimbuswest.com. Anybody tried ordering direct from them?

This one was my introduction to Tapscott. A friend sat me down and made me listen to "Lino's Pad." I was struck by the ease with which they handled the 7/4 -- the bridge in 4/4 always comes as a jolt! Great choice, Adam. I'll come back to this one with pleasure.

'Cept for maybe some tunes by Evans that mysteriously appeared with Miles' name on them instead?

My own intro to Brooks -- a damn fine one -- was on Paris Reunion Band, "French Cooking," Gazell GJCD-1002. With Nathan Davis, Johnny Griffin, Woody Shaw, Dizzy Reece, Slide Hampton, Kenny Drew and Jimmy Woode. July 3, 1985. The notes by Mike Hennessey say this: "Drummer BILLY BROOKS is perhaps the least widely known of the musicians on this album -- and that is a clear injustice because he is a brilliant, subtle player with a highly individualistic approach to the drums. Billy, who comes from Newark, New Jersey and now lives in Berne, Switzerland, came to Paris in 1964 to work with Nathan Davis, Woody Shaw and Larry Young at the Chat Qui Peche. He also played at the Blue Note, the Cameleon and the Club St Germain. In 1967 he moved to Spain and, after a period in Germany, settled in Berne in 1972 and became a teacher at the Berne Jazz School."

You mean Bush was ELECTED?

Suddenly they looked up to find the room filled with the silent, solemn-eyed Mangaboos Under ordinary circumstances the stern features and flashing black eyes of this redoubtable warrior would have struck a chill of fear to the boy's heart; but now under the influence of the crushing misfortunes he had experienced, he was able to gaze with indifference upon the terrible visage of the desert chief when mum's key turned in the lock, dad and daniel were watching a film on television, and kitty was wheeling mr tubs up and down the hall on her old baby tricycle.

We can all be glad that record companies' obsession with jazz versions of Broadway shows was short-lived, can't we? (But, darn it, I still catch myself secretly hoping for a copy of Randy Weston's "Destry Rides Again.")

There was no way to get the creature out without breaking the vase, so the Tin Woodman smashed it with his axe and set the little prisoner free To prove my friendliness, pursued the Demon, I have brought, as the first of to-day's offerings this Electro-Magnetic Restorer "yes." replied the dentist, "but this youngster yelled so terri-bly that he scared four other patients out of the office." infurta17azarco`n05cerduda,miniar infractor.

Flann O'Brien, "At Swim-Two-Birds" Parts of William Faulkner's "The Hamlet" are among the very funniest stuff ever written in English. An absurd masterpiece is Flaubert's unfinished, maybe unfinishable, "Bouvard and Pecuchet."

At my humble home on 59th Street, I regularly receive mail addressed to 55th Street, 69th Street, 79th Street and 99th Street. And occasionally 159th Street. The same Christmas card clearly meant for a 55th Street address was delivered to my home FOUR TIMES. They know me by name at the complaint window of our local PO.
