Not definitive, but a little research suggests it might be Talib Kibwe (T.K. Blue). Mike Fitzgerald lists his name as Talib Qadir Kibwe here: http://www.jazzdiscography.com/fitzgera/muslim.htm

The Egyptian The Rajah The Rumproller Horace Rumpole Horace Walpole Quintus Horatius Flaccus (aka Horace)

What a horrifying juxtaposition. Not all that "horrifying" IMO. Both singers (anything Dion does and Franklin in her post Columbia years) have a tendency to be way over the top. I much prefer a certain level of subtlety from a female vocalist, something I get none of from either of them. With regard to Doris Day, sexy is as sexy does. She may have tried to come across as a June Allyson-like girl next door, but there was a certain "je ne sais quoi" bubbling beneath the surface that whispered of something entirely different. This is not intended as an insult, but I think you don't really have an understanding of soul music. Aretha's Columbia albums are tepid wastes of her true, Gospel-based talent. I assume you'd really hate Shirley Caesar and Inez Andrews.

Minnie Minoso Mini Me Memphis Minnie

What a horrifying juxtaposition. Yeah, though I'm not really a fan, her performance of The Very Thought of You in the film is exquisite, and very sexy.

For late Roy I also like the duo session on Pablo with Oscar Peterson. In fact, though I'm not a big Peterson fan, most of those duos with trumpeters are quite nice.

Beetle Bailey Ringo Starr Lorne Greene

I love his version of Twilight Time. The tune has a special place in my heart since it was written by a family member (Al Nevins, of The Three Suns).

The Amazing Kreskin Rumpleforeskin (a Paul Krassner pseudonym) Horace Rumpole

Yes, I actually searched for a thread like this because I think Ammons would make an interesting bio--or even better a dual bio of Albert and Gene. I've grown to love Jug. I didn't really appreciate him enough when I saw him when I was 16 (Mingus and Friends at Philharmonic Hall). To paraphrase Schaap, "It may be your life, but you're WRONG!"

Bernard Punsly Bobby Jordan Gabriel Dell

Ramona A. Banuelos (who remembers the name?) Luis Bunuel The Exterminating Angel

I love Toussaint, but that album just doesn't do it for me.

I never knew the music of the Bley-Swallow trio before I saw the group at the Montreal Jazz Festival in 1991, I think at the beginning of their little comeback (after a while Peacock started subbing for Swallow). In a sense, not knowing what to expect made it that much more sublime.

Songs We Taught Your Mother. I had that LP when I was a teenager. Keith Relf Paul Samwell-Smith Chris Dreja

Squeezebox is also Spotify compatible, IIRC.

Saturday night I shared a cab from the airport with the author of a book about the Franklin scandal, which I hadn't heard of before. Sounds intriguing. I just started reading the Kindle edition. http://franklinscandal.com/

I just watched the DVD on a flight. Fabulous!

Winnie Mandela Peg Bracken Joan Jett

Well, I'll have to disagree with MM. I think the Electric Bebop Band was a fine group, and the trio with Frisell & Lovano one of the great small groups of the last 20 years. Technically the trio with Bley & Peacock was a cooperative group, even if most people think of it as Bley's trio. And that, IMO, is THE great piano trio of the past 20 or so years.

Nice guy indeed. I had the pleasure of chatting with him for a while when we ended up sharing a table at Birdland during a Kenny Wheeler big band gig.
