I vaguely remember a profile of Harvey that Esquire published--late 60s or early 70s. I don't remember specifics anymore, but I'm fairly certain that Harvey was dishonorably discharged and that somehow his records were altered when he became a cheerleader for the the military and the republican party.

Kid Thomas Valentine Kid Avery Howard Kid Shots Madison Kid Henry Rena Kid Sheik Cola This is a list, not necessarily all-inclusive, of New Orleans jazz trumpet players active in roughly the mid 20th Century who suffered the designation "Kid". According to jazz CW circa 1960: to be so designated was a mark of merit--a kid was one step down from a New Orleans trumpet "King", like King Oliver or King Freddie Keppard or King Louis Armstrong. But if you examine the work of Kid Howard, for instance, who recorded extensively with NO clarinetist George Lewis, it's easy to arrive at a different take for the appellation Kid, namely that it was a mildly derisive term for the uninspired and semi-competent. And indeed, Alvin Alcorn and John Brunious and Ernest Cagnolatti and Thomas Jefferson were never known as Kids, yet seem, on the basis of aural evidence, to be the class of the NO field. Anyone have any familiarity with the work of these trumpeting kids?

PeteBrown was also the greatest swing alto player. Listen to The World I Waiting for the Sunrise by Frankie Newton or The Lady is a Tramp by Midge Williams; Brown occupies songs. I disagree with your assertion about Jonah Jones. I think he was a pretty limited improviser, certainly not top tier, and prone to rely on a grab bag of licks. Bill Coleman is the unsung swing trumpet giant, whose stellar work in Europe during the 1930s is not as well known as it should be.

I bought a copy of this record the year it was published, and I never liked the mix that Atlantic used. In particular I hated that Julian Priester's trombone could barely be heard on Portrait of Mahalia Jackson. I've been flirting with the idea a buying the CD, but haven't jumped because I'm afraid they haven't bothered to improve the sound with a remastering facelift.

I think you're wrong. Wodehouse was very popular in the US during his halcyon years. He lived and worked here and in France, and spent little time in England as an adult.

I know it's the Brits voting, but I miss seeing Mark Twain on the list. I'd head it off with Letters From the Earth.

Soon to be at a CD retailer near you. Story here.

I've been cranking up the old bread machine lately--lots of focaccia, French bread, raisin walnut rolls, and one pizza. Like Jim I'd like a first-rate pizza sauce recipe.
