Interesting question. Does Don Byas count? Sid Catlett doesn't do a single bit of damage on that 1945 Dizzy and Bird date. And wouldn't we love to have a recording of the Earl Hines bands with Dizzy and Bird and Sass? But surely the champ in this category is Woody Herman, who did a lot more than mess around with bop, to say the least.

The disc has been out for at least two years -- what's the point of reviewing it now? Note in the fine print that it comes from that bastion of excellent, trustworthy and knowledgeable jazz writing, Goldmine.

Jim, stay up late and catch "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" on Cartoon Network. Wait for the episode in which two-dimensional space aliens come to Earth in search of Foreigner tour souvenirs.

I stand corrected. Those records went away with my ex-wife, and I haven't replaced all the RT discs yet. But this co-worker also serenaded the whole department with "The Angels Took My Racehorse Away" and bits of "Shaky Nancy" and "Roll Over VW."

Monk's first notes almost always make a big promise. The intros to "Criss Cross" and "I Mean You" come to mind. Gilliespie's original "Manteca" and "Salt Peanuts" fit in this category too. As does Dameron's original "Lady Bird." These first-generation bop guys knew how to grab your ear in just a split second. What Leeway said about "Blue Train."

I was told to coat the chicken in buttermilk. (My, that sentence looks strange out of context.)

You've got mail! Is that the Sexual Harassment Panda from "South Park" in your avatar?

Twenty years ago, I had a co-worker who knew every lyric on this record and peppered every conversation with as many allusions to it as possible. I must have heard him sing "Smiffy's Glass Eye" at least a dozen times as he worked.

The original "Cop Out," on the Columbia "World of Duke Ellington Vol. 3" double LP set. Never been on CD, as far as I know. I'm steamed that this one wasn't included in the "Festival Session" reissue for easy comparison with "Copout Extension." And "Mount Harissa" on "Far East Suite," as jsngry said. I gotta look up that Musicmasters side.

Dreamed this the other night: Driving in Oklahoma, I discover a tiny hamburger stand owned and operated by Andrew Hill. I could see him behind the counter, looking exactly as he looked when I saw him in concert last year. I'd already eaten, so I wasn't in the mood for a hamburger. But I stopped to thank him for his music anyway. My mom was in the car, and she wasn't happy with me for stopping. (The hamburger stand looked an awful lot like the Dixie Dog in Ponca City. Anybody know the place?)

Yes, Mr. Nelson provides penetrating performances of "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" and "I'm Sending You a Big Bouquet of Roses."

RDK is exactly right. Besides, we have so much fun ganging up on the spammers...

Another endorsement for Alabama Concerto, Lucky's "Tricotism", and "Great Friends." Also "The Fabulous Thad Jones," OJCCD-625-2. Also, all my friends get indoctrinated with Jack Walrath's "Master of Suspense," Blue Note OOP.

Potter isn't my favorite soloist by a long shot, comping on vibes doesn't do much for me, and still this group can be MAGIC. Do try to catch them live if at all possible. And hear "Not for Nothin'" and "Extensions" (with Steve Coleman) before you give up. I LOVE the idea of Holland/R. Eubanks/Turner/Perez/Haynes.

On Kansas Public Radio today: Diana Crowl.

All of the above. Plus Benny Bailey's "Big Brass." And the Coleman Hawkins-Pee Wee Russell date. Really. And the Otis Spann material, if you're so inclined.

So much for the Buddy Bolden cylinder.

What's next? A dress code? 'Cause if y'all keep classin' up the place like this, guys like me is gonna get throwed out. But seriously...Welcome, John!

Bird's alternate of "Parker's Mood." Cruel beauty.
