Benny Carter: 3, 4, 5 - The Verve Small Group Sessions

Always enjoy that one when I listen.

Happy Birthday!

Fifties Juke Joint Blues (Ace)

Sixty Minute Man - The Best of Billy Ward and His Dominoes (Rhino)

I recall seeing him with Little Richard, who kept referring to him (to Rickles' seeming frustration) as "Don Wrinkles". I wondered if that was something that they cooked up beforehand, as it wasn't Rickles' usual modus operandi to let people get the best of him. It amazed me that people laughed along with his ridicule of them. I think the worst was when he hosted the Tonight Show, was doing interviews in the audience, and said to a woman with protruding teeth - "Are you Japanese or do you just have a lousy dentist?" And she laughed.

TV Slim Bony Moronie Stringbean

I believe so - from late 1962-early 1963 til late 1964-early 1965.

Coke Escovedo Sheila E Harvey S

The Bear Steve McCall Julius Hemphill

Kings of the Blues (Ace) Big names listed on the front - a lot of smaller (but good) names included.

Good that that card stops at 1962. Big falloff after that. Better to remember the good years.

Not a pretty story at the end.

Lonnie Johnson: He's a Jelly Roll Baker

I wouldn't put it in the same league as The Rockford Files.

Whistlin' Alex Moore 1929 - 1951

RIP, Rosie. You were am original.

La Belle Epoque Vol. 1 - Les Grandes Classics Congolais(Glenn) Mostly tracks by Les Bantous de la Capitale

Grizzly Adams Sonny Liston Lady Godiva

Mingus: Tijuana Moods

I believe that he also gave up playing for a time in the early 60's and became a booking agent.

I enjoyed the first episodes that I watched, but the concept wore thin fairly quickly.

Jimmy Rushing: Cat Meets Chick/The Jazz Odyssey of James Rushing Esq.

Another - Very good session.

Big Mama Thornton: The Original Hound Dog (Ace)
