Thanks cali, now I know I'm not going crazy. Looks can be deceiving. At first glance he like many others appears to be white, but unless you're stevie wonder a second and third look will tell you that this man is a black man with a lot of white blood in his ancestry like myself and many others. Before she died at age 97 my paternal grandmother told me, after I had asked her, that she remembered when she was a little girl, her great grandmother was a "big old white lady"

I must need stronger glasses because until I read this thread, I thought Frank Strozier was black

There are Bose speakers in the ceiling and a lot of wires. I want to be able to hear my cd's, radio stations and the big screen tv through these speakers. What components do I need to purchase to accomplish this. Thanks..............

as far as im concerned, it's not cheating, going to go pull that cd and listen to it. Did Sanders do anything that wasn't considered avant garde?. Can't hear that gendre these days................. Guy, you get the prize, that is a super listen. Too bad Handy didn't do more after Monterey, saw him recently at Yoshi's in Oakland, looks in great shape for his age..............

Might that be The Chase? And, could you elaborate on the Byas situation............

I believe Duets is from the same session, great stuff...........

Isn't it a shame Trane and Sonny only recorded that one song together, but what a classic encounter it was......................

I know this has probably been discussed before but I'm curious. Wich tenor tandem is your favorite. One of mine happens to be Blues Up And Down with Eddie Lockjaw Davis and Johnny Griffin. Also, where can I find Dexter Gordon and Wardell Gray boxing each other...................

For what it's worth, Stanley plays, imo, the best jazz version of Can't Buy Me Love ever. From Disc V of the Mosaic set(Mr. Natural). Also, again imo, his later stuff does not compare to his early Blue Notes.........

Anybody else going to Yoshi's, Oakland tonight????????

At The Cotton Club 1956 by Lonhill Jazz. To all you Brownie experts, is this new, never released before music??????????

I prefer the pounding, heavy handed, cymbal crashing technique of Tony Williams and Elvin Jones over Max Roach........

To my fellow Dexter Gordon lovers. Just purchased the LP "Jive Fernando". While in the search mode, came across a CD "Quartet"(thought I had everything) which lists the same titles. Jive Fernando sounds like a live date. The Quartet CD is on the way as I'm writing this. Can someone clear this up for me................

Because the title track and QuePasa are so indelible, it's Song For My Father for me...........

Hate to buy the LP only to have the cd release shortly after. I have everything else................

Will Lighthouse '69 ever be released on CD????????

So, you're absolutely sure he sings on that cut, haven't purchased it yet............

jazzbo, brownie Before I posed the question I listened to sound samples of the song from "A Meeting of the Times" on amazon and amg. I heard no singing. Im not a hibbler fan but a co-worker approached me and said his father was a big fan of Hibbler and could not find that song. So, if you guys say he sings that cut, that's good enough for me, now I can purchase it.....................

Hibbler was with Duke in the 40's. To all you experts on Ellington and his vocalists, or on Hibbler, Did he ever sing "I didn't know about you"..................

Sorry folks, sounds like a bunch of NOISE. Give me the Prestige, the Savoy(w/Wilbur Hardin), the Blue Note(Blue Train), the Bethlehem, the Atlantic(Crescent, Giant Steps etc.) and the EARLY Impulse. Not long after A Love Supreme, he lost me..........

and where did you hear this tirade by hubbard..............

Heard some sound samples from the new big band cd, sounds pretty good. Here's my question. He has an LP on Strata East called "Compassion" I don't see this lp in his discography on allmusic guide(I do see it at Amazon). Sometimes you get the same session with two different titles maybe two different record companies. Has compassion been issued under a different title? What are the cuts on that LP. And, is "Live In Berlin" the same as "Live in Berlin at the Quasimodo, Vol. 1????????????????

don't care for w.m., started out artistic, ended up commercial. w.m's type of hard bop jazz tries to get people who are on the fence to like jazz. either you like this shit or you dont.................
