Let's get physical, physical. I wanna get physical, let's get into physical.

Taboooooooooooo!

Back in the day, this was fairly common -- and not just with Blue Note. IIRC, the origins of this were multi-LP record changing turntables. Putting sides 1 & 4 on a disc allows you to put two LPs on the turntable at once and hear sides 1 & 2 in sequence. Then you could flip both records and hear sides 3 & 4 in sequence. I've been enjoying this LP: Oh I see, thanks! Tonight: portfolio of Ahmad Jamal The Jimmy Giuffre 3 Great! the Oscar Peterson Trio at the Concertgebouw "A Dutch jazz enthusiast tape-recorded the concert, passed the tape over to Norman Granz and the result is the enclosed LP of the Trio." No, really! Confusing the Windy City with the Windmills Country. Not fond of the Lady is a tramp version, but there are also some great interactions between Ellis and OP. And 74 Miles away to end the evening!

Love the Art Hodes' Back Room Boys session! Now spinning Elvin Jones Live at the Lighthouse. LP1 contains Side 1&4, LP2 the in-between tracks. Was it a common habit from BN or just a mistake? Great music all the way through!

That Marian McPartland record is FANTASTIC, imho. And not at all what one might expect from her; it's much more hard-charging and aggressive. In fact, on that particular record, McPartland's playing reminds me a bit of Joanne Brackeen's style in the 1970s. Concord has reissued most of McPartland's Halcyon LP on CD, but I don't think they've ever gotten 'round to Interplay. And that's a shame -- because I think it's one of MM's very best records. I am familiar with multiple Piano Jazz programs upped on Dime, but it's the first record that I have from her and it's warmly recommended. My before-the-week-end treats: Jenkins/Jordan/Timmons Max Roach - members, don't git weary Zoot Sims - I wish I were twins Cannonball Adderley - 74 Miles Away Comment from a rookie: I have a record, pressed by BBC: Wooden Joe's New Orleans Band at Artisan Hall + Bunk plays the Blue at San Jacinto Hall. It's a 12" (30.5 cm, not 30 cm) and my turntable won't spin. I guess my Denon is not adapted to this type of record!

Maybe the Prince Consort had the secret wish to visit the place. "I am sure if Albert ever should be away (which, however, will and shall never happen, for I would go with him even if he was to go to the North Pole), I should never think of travelling."

GREAT MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of Woody's very best, imho. I really like all that I've heard from the studio and live sessions around 1975-1977. Listening this morning to another great record featuring Woody: Gary Bartz NTU Troop - Home!
