I have a Mobile Fidelity reissue and, while the music is of high quality, the sound, as I remember, has an echo-like quality. I've wondered about the reason for that myself.

I've always liked Lyn Halliday's version of "Airegin" on his CD of the same name. He plays with some of Sonny's moves and feeling.

I only remember Kofsky interviewing John Coltrane and trying to lead Coltrane into places he didn't want to go. Trane didn't take the bait. After that, I had no interest in reading Kofsky's book. Thiele ran Jazz & Pop magazine, in which Kofsky often appeared, and of course, impulse!, where Kofsky's liner notes were placed. I've long wondered if Kofsky got the hookup to do that Trane interview through Theile That was my impression.

Hmmmm....not sure about that, unless love itself is determinedly hetero? In which case, "true" love is rooted in the need to reproduce, not the need to "become whole" in a spiritual/mental sense instead of a reproductive merging of genetic materials? Still figuring this out as I go along, definitely was not born into a world that entertained the notion of a gay "true" love, everything was based in making them babies, or at least in engaging in the act that would theoretically allow for that. And now, not so much. Still that, but also other possibilities? I mean, I hear what you're saying, what I would hesitate on is this an Ultimate Truth or is it perhaps a Temporal Assumption that is going to have to be amended to make room for other possibilities as we evolve? I guess I don't agree with that statement, Allen. Or maybe I don't really understand what you mean to say with "the life blood"; and even in the case of reproductive merging as JSngry mentions, that isn't really true anymore these days, is it? There are other possibilities for gay couples, at least in my country there are. Think about the love songs written by Lorenz Hart, just to name one non-hetero lyricist.

Yup. There's a classic about Rich. Probably been posted here at some point.

A reminder to me to put on some Jesse Hill - preferably the Charly CD with a few bits of hilarious studio talk.

I had forgotten that he had passed, so I guess he was still alive to me.

Even if it was a mistake, nothing wrong with remembering Ray Barretto now.

2006 thread:

Other sources way that's Gator Tail on sax. I've read that it was Gator on sax and was surprised to see Mr. Taylor's name come up. Perhaps someone with better ears than mine can tell who it is.

To my mind, John Calipari is the present day Jerry Tarkanian.

From Lou Christie's Wikipedia page: In 1986, Lou recorded a duet with Lesley Gore of a medley of "Since I Don't Have You"/"It's Only Make Believe" for Manhattan Records, a division of EMI-America. The two singers were touring together at the time, and the song was released only as a one-off single. (Apologies if a reference to this has appeared previously in this thread.)

Robin D. G. Kelley's Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original states that "They" (Rollins playing with Monk's group) "spent twelve beautiful nights together at the Five Spot and performed one benefit concert at Carnegie Hall". Sonny Rollins filled in after Johnny Griffin left and before Charlie Rouse joined Monk.
