Perfectly put.

OK, I have that on what appears to be a later Arista LP, without a Freedom logo. It is very good.

Yes.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I feel. He started to slide with the Atlantics, but even a couple of those are decent. I generally find his "classic" BN period full of excellent playing. This might also be from a technical standpoint, but if early Freddie Hubbard is my lone "technique" player, then that's not doing too badly... FWIW, I did not like his playing very much upon first being seriously exposed to it - took some time to appreciate his musicality and his tunes.

When did Pearson take that gig? Right after Que died? Or...?

Yeah, I like that one quite a bit. Although the best version of the title tune I know was done by BJP. Let 'Em Roll is probably one of my top "straight-ahead" albums, but I digress.

Yeah, this is a set that will reward with each listen for years to come. I always find something new here, even if I don't always know what "it" is.

I could never decide between fork and fuck. Story of my life, I guess.

Happy Birthday and thanks for all your hard work and contributions!

I have Silence and The Complete Braxton on Intercord/Freedom. Were there any other Braxtons issued under that aegis? If indeed the Braxton is released, I'm definitely buying it!

Man, I really wish I could go in on some of these right now. They're great deals and the music is/must be fantastic.

Oh, certainly they do. They're frighteningly awesome. So for me, it's unfortunate that the ensuing 35 years (CTI and after) featured so much dreck. Then again, I assume the dude wanted to make money.

D'oh! Forgot about picking this up. Now it's on the list for next CD purchase!

Damn, that is too bad! Really love both Rififi and The Naked City! RIP.

Yeah, I wasn't too impressed by that Clean Feed, despite the presence of some "heavy hitters." Oh well.

RIP.

I like Freddie's music of a certain period. Blasphemy, maybe, but I think he "stopped" in the '70s.

Or, through the magic of babelfish:

Thanks, shows you what I know!

Yes, and all the others you've been missin' ... Now let's not start that... we get to things when we get to them. I've got about 12-15 Mobley sessions so it's a start.

I thought you were a professor.

They're on the first two, right? I sold those for $50 a pop. Would probably like to have the music now. I preferred Neu!, fwiw.

Will be seeing Brotzmann in Houston on the 27th with my dad!

typic Nate Chinen bullshit & nonsense-- typin' loud & saying NOTHING. tickets were way too expensive for edc-- at least Marty gives us freebies, too bad it was for the Stones. (better than Nate Chinen but what the fuck ain't?) I dunno. I'm neither here nor there on Chinen, but I thought it was a pretty descriptive sentence. The ticket prices, I'm with you there. The thing is with Chinen, that that sentence could be said better using most of the same words.

Thanks! I think I see Hennen in the background there.
