That's a good LP. Kent Carter is the bassist.

I haven't heard it yet, but aim to. There are four "early" tracks and a ton of later stuff that I'm not sure I care that much about (if that Verve disc from a few years ago is any indication). But the early tracks... curious! I believe that, yes, those tracks are from either Verve or Columbia. Bob Cunningham is on bass.

I like Chick's earlier work, myself. It's not earth-shattering, but the work with Pete La Roca, Blue Mitchell, Woody Shaw, etc. is pretty sweet. I also dig mightily on Circle. Don't care so much for anything after that, though. If I'm not mistaken, Miles discussed Herbie as a "tinkerer," always looking for new sounds and combinations, which explains the attraction of electric instruments and so forth.

What is it? Blues for the Viet Cong?

I once saw a Lex pressing of the Herbie Nichols 12" on BN, marked up but played okay. Sadly, I was real broke at the time and just "couldn't" pony up the $20...

Wild. But get this: "Traditionally, used CD sales are protected by first-sale doctrine in copyright laws allow owners to resell CDs, according to Mitchell. Also, a CD resale is also protected by the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment, argues Mitchell. Since selling a CD could be seen as an indication that the owner does not like or agree with the content, the collection of identification information could be seen as a violation of first amendment rights."

Probably an airing expiry, rather than disc expiry. Unless, of course, it's a lacquer transcription disc.

Thanks. I thought you were in Am. Studies. Sorry.

Aric is funny (to me); higher education is more like a black comedy.

I thought Aric had a Master's in American Studies... or is that a total joke?

Wow. Heavy stuff. I sent a request to "friend" the Tribute Page.

And it's a good one!

Kenny Cox - Multidirection - (BN Liberty blue/black)

Worth more than two seasons of Three's Company, I'd say...

Larry Young - Unity - (BN Liberty USA stereo)

I'd like to hear that one, too. Hell, I don't have All Members, either, though would like to... Stick-Up I spun last night. Excellent LP that doesn't get enough credit!

Dumitrescu is pretty heavy, often using multiple basses or at least the bass of Fernando Grillo (which is like having three or four). I'll have to check out the Hammer Lady. Sounds good.

I've got some good later Tapscott group stuff, including a few of those Nimbus LPs, but would love to hear some prime '60s shit. The Dutchman gets under my skin. Edit: not trying to derail, but I guess it's already going that route...

Enjoy your birthday ride, and don't eat too much cake and weigh down that ti frame!

Can't add much... excellent player. RIP.

Now: Noah Howard - Quartet - (ESP orig stereo) w/ Ric Colbeck, Scotty Holt and Dave Grant.

I'm looking for that LP they cut for BASF/BIM if you ever see one!

I think it's kinda cool looking, though I really think it'd be retarded for any post-9/11 talk to center on such an album cover. Tho I must admit that when I was darker and had a big beard ca. 2001, I got a lot of shit from rednecks...
