    First dug Tootie on Herbie Hancock's 'Prisoner' (April, '69) and 'Fat Albert Rotunda' (May-June, '69). On both albums, Tootie showed he could play 'outside' and straight down the middle. (After taking more than a year off, 'Mwandishi' Herbie went with Billy Hart.)

    RE: 'Presenting Edu Lobo': Side 1 track 2 ('Jogo de Roda') always brings to mind the chordal infl. of Gil Evans.

    Max Raabe und der Palast Orchester tonight at UGA. Can't believe they chose my little college town to start their 7-city tour which includes Symphony Halls in Chicago and Boston, prior to Carnegie.

    In 1971, when visiting a relative in Vernal, Utah -- and bored as hell in a cowboy town -- I walked into a music shop. They'd gotten a shipment of cut-out LPs and Riedel's 'Jazz Ballet' (U.S. Philips, 1964) really stood out. A favorite ever since.

    When I walked the driveway at 8:15 to get the paper it was 16-degrees and I Phrygian my ass. When it gets up to 32, I'll celebrate with a gin and pentatonic.

    The Police' stripped-down the funk behind their 'Voices In My Head' Police again, with more 'Voices' of what they're funkin' for:

    Also from '79: Andre Crouch with Jay Graydon ('Peg'), Michael Omartian, and David Hungate (Toto) -- much like EW&F and Steely Dan's 'FM'. Check how the band takes it out after the sax solo at 3:13 This contemporary gospel might get me de-frocked by the Soul Pope

    During the search among assorted books, magazines, and records, once-forgotten characters and 'persons of interest' can pop up unexpectedly. Such side-tracking has its rewards -- if you've got the time to spare.

    Sergio George arranged Manuelle's salsa moderna with jazz modulations.

    Doris Duke and 'Congratulations Baby, 1969 recorded in Macon, GA. (19-year-old Robert 'Pops' Popwell is bassist.) Tina Turner had a problem with her man in 1969.

    Two from 1973, both fueled by Bob Babbitt's bass:

    This track's bass line goes out to thread-starter Soul Pope:
