I have a Japanese LP boot of this that saved me about $2000 off the orig. This one and the one on Heavy Soul are my two favorite Monterose dates. I was glad to reread Chuck's stories - they made me very happy. Still have an eye out for the duo LP with Flanagan, I suspect it's "good."

I have an Intercord Freedom of that, cost about $3. It's fantastic. Would like to have the original - think it was called "Hamba Khale" - on Togetherness Records out of Italy.

Happy Belated!

Thanks, folks. I am certainly all for simplifying my slides, which are pretty full/heady. The visuals may actually be the hard part, unless any of you guys are hyper-aware of how to do screen shots on a mac.

Sorry to hear about the job but glad you are mending.

I really hope Mosaic includes some of Tony's used handkerchiefs. Can't wait till this set comes out - my panties are already moist and that's not only because I'm not gettin' any...

ESP Image Discography This is about as good as we've got, I think.

Kansas!

I'd buy it from DG - they're usually pretty good on getting the UK stuff cheap. Those Fledg'ling discs are usually $18.99 in Austin.

What is a good measure of text density for a series of slides? I am only semi-versed in this stuff, and would like to make a thirty-minute presentation count. Thanks!

I like the Penguin Guide's description - "menthol sharp". I think it fits - his tone blows away the cobwebs, unblocks the ears as it were. I don't know what 7/4 and Nate are talking about, really, all that well. But Jackie's tart quality - not to mention his power and the breadth of his phrasing - really gets me going.

I love Jackie Mc, but Cool Struttin' is not my favorite of his performances by any stretch. I listen to it for itself, and for Sonny, Philly Joe and Art Farmer's contributions.

That should be the March 29, 1959 session with Donald Byrd and Hank Mobley, released as a Connoisseur CD as My Conception. All I could find was this, though I could swear there was yet another...

Sonny Clark - Cool Struttin' - (BN UA stereo)

I have seen it as low as $30 in a couple of shops, too. Might as well keep it, right?

edc's point is taken by CT.

$60 or so, last one I saw.

Thanks, Larry, for those observations about the title tune. I agree that it's a defining yet slippery tune, why I've always liked that rendition of it. I thought there was yet a third Cool Struttin' LP in Japan with a different band. Can't remember the specifics now.

I only have the "as released" LP, albeit on a later pressing. This was my introduction, along with a couple of Dex records, to the world of Sonny Clark. There were two other volumes released in Japan that I haven't heard (I think they were culled from different dates anyway).

And I just watched Will Penny the other night. I don't know about "RIP," but so long to a complete nutjob who, sometimes, could act. From the BBC...

As a Kansan, I am curious to see the results of this. Tonight was an interesting game for the Jayhawks.

If you left off the Teitelbaum and Two Pianos, then it might. And the Four Orchestras might also be better left to somewhere else.

Being the fickle fool that I sometimes am, I've been holding out for years trying to nab original vinyls of these. Might as well forget it at this point and buy the CDs.

And many more!
