Bill Nelson

Chico, Chico, Chico. (There's nothing like dancing chico-to-chico.)

I first got 'run over' on the 'Street of Dreams' in 1970 when my teacher, Bill McEneaney, played it during a meeting of our South Kingstown High School Jazz Club. Mack would play an LP track and then the 10 or 12 of us would talk about it, if we wanted to. The tune he chose was 'Lazy Afternoon' -- it slayed me then and still does. Mack's set-up went along the lines of,"I've got something that's gonna getcha from the inside-out -- especially the organ playing of Larry Young. This is the kind of group sound that just grows on ya." Mack was our 'chaperone' who often drove us up to Boston and got us into the Jazz Workshop to catch Getz, Mulligan, Roland Kirk, etc. (Pretty cool for high school.)

Otherwise known to millions by his stage name, 'Foghorn Leghorn'.

The nicotine 'hit' alone should disqualify Ahn-hell for frequently resorting to a drug-delivery system during the round. "Ah said,'That's a joke', son!"

Hey Rooster, forget your DJ stint. I just got a call from three women who want to charter a bus to Colorado. They had one request -- NO CD player or radio. ;-)

Or the morning-after CD, 'Jazz for After You've Slept On the Wet Spot'. (Perfect for all you swinging guys who must wipe off before brushing teeth.)

'Caramba'? Say, "Si, senor." The album is a straight-ahead BN groover -- better for drinking with than cogitating to. This probably got docked two stars compared to other Morgan LPs with blazing solos and better compositions. (Also, the CD has a weak bonus track). I actually get more Caramba 'juice' playing my vinyl.

In Georgia, radio noise is likely Clear Channel programmed, or Right-wing Talk Tyranny, or the trained parrots of NPR collegiate dilettantes. As I'm not into masochism, I never listen to radio.

The packaging gives each album an image and identity. In my multi-thousand collection, the packaging makes each album EASIER TO FIND. I grab it and can immediately punch-up what I want to hear without searching thru an index of nine other stored albums of content (on DVD). Also, I'm more secure with the more-durable laminate coating of the aluminum in purchased CDs. I've had my share of MP-3 recorded projects which eventually crapped-out for a variety of reasons. It'd be a pisser to have to PAY AGAIN for each download which gets muffed at my non-techno-savvy end of the line. If so, then the music 'distributors' might well hope I keep messing things up fairly often. "You might well think that. I couldn't POSSIBLY comment."

Then you witnessed two: 1. On bunkering his approach to 17, Tiger loudly barked,"What the hell just happened?" 2. Tiger snapping his 4-iron in half after his follow-through 2nd shot at 11 hit a pine and bent the shaft. Also, you saw numerous instances of him slamming his clubs into his bag. These fit his aura of sulking and pouting about how he "threw the tournament away". Petulant, indeed.

A wager with Slatkin for, say, Joshua Bell's usual concert fee, would've taken him to the cleaners. (Now everyone knows Lenny's an easy mark.)

Masters 2007: It's Tiger's World -- We Just Live in It Yes, it was ALL about him -- four days of boorish and petulant behavior.

Everyone's favorite 'paisan', Roy Campanella. Then there's my fantasy tag team of Sexto Lezcano and Moose Skowron.

12-inch LPs go inside the 12 1/4-inch jacket. 10-inch LPs go outside their 10-inch jackets. * * Only Capitol had the smarts to make their jackets larger.

RE: "There's never anywhere for me to put my shoes." Sure, blame it on her shoes -- it's really your crates of excess LPs jammed into your closet, right?

'Reach Out' could hardly be considered 'essential' Mobley. It's gotta be his most lightweight BN -- "reach out", indeed. (I unloaded mine at a recent Atlanta record show.)

Or, while running the tape remaster for 'Aquarian Moon', Rudy replaced the spent batteries in his Beltones.

The detectives are barking up the wrong tree. The real serial murderers work for Mosaic and can barely write.

For the last 10-plus years, Mosaic has hired Stamford's chronic junior high school JDs to scribble the serial #s into their booklets while working off their hours of after-school detention. Always a charming touch of the local 'street'.

Overall, the clips portend a precious, delicate state of affairs. It sure isn't the organic mind meld of Metheny and Mays. I might wait for a cheap promo.

Returning to the original thread topic, which got 5 replies prior to Concord's Summer Blow-Out (which should've been a separate topic thread) -- here's two titles I got last summer which don't appear anywhere now: Lyle 'Spud' Murphy - 'Gone With the Woodwinds' (OJCCD-1905-2) The Trio - s/t, with Walter Norris, Hal Gaylor, and Billy Bean (OJCCD-1923-2) RE the above item, if you enter 'Hal Gaylor' on Amazon, it turns up 3 new copies for $14.99 ea.

I think she was the same broad. As A&M executives might've said about the disappointing sales for Glasscock,"Both albums stiffed and were DEAD IN THE WATER."

Didn't murder suspect, I mean wife, 'Jewel' record two albums for A&M in 1974 as Joanne Glasscock?

The mind still reels at how the NY Times would pay Mr. Chinen to supply us with so many laughs. He was probably listening to the latest from Fourplay while composing his tepid analysis of Coryell's 'Free Spirits'. Ben Ratliff watch out -- Nate Chinen will soon be eating your lunch!

Yeah, and for years the bass player for Burton was Floyd Soileau. When Ritenour joined, Floyd gave Burton his notice and returned to Louisiana. Soileau does occasional cajun gigs with Carl & the Bleyboys.
