Were it good soup, it might be a waste.

How about using cans of cream of mushroom soup for target practice?

Yes. A cognate would be "he baited him." As a wise man once said, "who is enjoying the shadow of whom?" Always. Plenty.

Enough with the god stuff.

When she did the Celebrate Brooklyn summer series two years ago she got the largest turnout they ever had, close to 30,000, at least half of whom couldn't get into the bandshell area and had to sit on the lawn outside. She's a hometown girl (by way of Georgia), but I had no idea she had that big a following. The opening act was Budos Band (another Dap-Tone band) and Lee Fields was a special guest.

Were you there until the cows came home?

How did you pronounce it?

What I love about the mid-70s to mid-80s live albums (and shows I saw) is the mix of out jazz, big band swing and outer space corniness.

Nine out of ten dentists recommend that Tyner album to their patients who chew gum.

I don't get this part, as I always think of Bird as a "harmonic" improvisor, and of course one of the handful of the best. His "melodic" side is the amazing ability to create new, coherent melodies within the changes, but by melodic improvisor we usually speak of artists who mine the original melody for solo material rather than relying on the changes as a deep structure for new utterances, to borrow a Chomskyan concept. But it's not an either/or dichotomy. Dexter Gordon, for instance, could be called both a melodic and a harmonic improvisor. Like Prez, he was cognizant of the lyrics and stories of the songs he played, but lots of his improvisation comes out of Hawk and Bird (and his penchant for "cute" quotes is not necessarily in the service of the original melody). I'd call Stitt, on the other hand, more purely a harmonic improvisor. I think that's why Stitt wasn't really a great fit for Miles in 1960. I think a case can be made that Ben Webster started his career firmly in the harmonic camp and ended it firmly on the melodic side.
