    Oh yeah, those Waldron albums. Fantastic. Both Ford & Fortune are smoking. I knew about Wayne's wife. What's the Ford connection?

    With Mingus he was a young up and comer (maybe 18), a shadow of the monster he'd become. These are from a fun live gig that I caught in the '89. He's been in Europe for at least the last 10 years, so I'm not up on his more recent stuff.

  6. Door of the Cage and Marionettes on a High Wire are both brilliant Carroll albums. Erica Lindsay is excellent on those. I think of them more in the Miles 2nd quintet vein rather than Lee Morganish.
  7. I still feel that way about women.

  9. But he saved the steps of downloading and transferring. For a busy jazz lover that's got to be worth $2.99.
  10. Well, it's not a good development for publishers who are reprinting out of copyright works in bound editions. But otherwise, what's the problem?

  16. Boy was there drinking in early America. The temperance movement was not a response to casual, "social" drinking...
  17. I remember seeing Andy Bey a couple of years ago. He introduced the band and then said, "And my name is Cecil Taylor." It was all about the hair.

    Wow, if you think that you're missing a lot of great players working today. And besides that, Charles Tolliver started recording after Woody.
  19. Yes, but if there was a film I didn't see it. Anyway, I don't care for Baron Cohen.
  20. I think I can count the times I laughed during Borat on one hand.
