Sonny Rollins: Tour de Force (Prestige/OJC) The exchanges between Sonny and Max Roach on "B. Quick" are amazing.

My Pal Foot Foot My Buddy The Playmates

I couldn't begin to decide. There has been too much great music of all kinds in too many decades for me to make any kind of choice.

Little Walter: Confessin' the Blues (Chess)

Frank Lowe/Phillip Wilson: Out of Nowhere (Ecstatic Peace)

Four favorite records from the 1960s that I didn't hear until after the 1960s were over: Benny Carter: Further Definitions Warne Marsh: Jazz from the East Village Warne Marsh: Release Record - Send Tape (a few tracks from 1959, but mostly from 1960) Jimmy Rushing: Gee Baby, Ain't I Good to You

The Fresh Prince Ben Kingsley Ernie Royal

George Clinton Lester Young Barney Oldfield

One of my more coveted records. Hard to get ahold of and very, very good. Yeah. You don't see much mention of the record, but Warne blows beautifully on it.

Warne Marsh: Warne Out (Interplay)

Emile Zola Zola Budd Buddy Holly

Sister Sadie Brother Ray Mama Too Tight

Talking about blues, I have no idea when they were released, though I imagine that they were 1960s releases - even if the music is from the 50's - but I first heard The Best of Muddy Waters and The Best of Little Walter in the 1960s and played the heck out of them.

Interesting, never saw this one before.......just formerly once been in touch with "The Exciting Gospel Sound of the Duncanaires" on Battle...... Just Checked a discography - Hayes & Laughton: Gospel Records 1943-1969 - A Black Music Discography - and the Batttle release is listed. Underneath the details for the Battle record there's a note - "No details for Milestone 4001." The date for the Battle recording is given as "late 1965", so the two were evidently recorded within a relatively short space of time.

The person who does your taxes Lou Levy Mississippi John Hurt

Five records I listened to in the 1960s and still do: Albert Ayler: Spiritual Unity Ornette Coleman Trio: Golden Circle Vol. 1 Thelonious Monk: Criss Cross Cecil Taylor: Into the Hot Sonny Rollins: Our Man in Jazz I have to list a few more: Mingus X 5 Eric Dolphy: Far Cry Coltrane Ellington: "... and his mother called him Bill"

Joe Carter and His Chicago Broomdusters: Mean & Evil Blues (Barrelhouse)

The Impressions Trane Cousin Joe

Our recycling takes plastic containers. That's where mine go now.

Hoagy Carmichael Po' Boy, Long Way from Home Bukka White

Good research, Jim. And you're right. The gist of the article is fine. No one had any knowledge of Elvie Thomas and Geeshie Wiley (except possibly people who knew them back when) until now. That's the important thing. If the researchers hadn't gotten that last phone call that led them to some possible false assumptions, all would have been well.

The whole thing, including the person you had the argument with, sounds like a waste of time.

Mike Todd Eddie Fisher Richard Burton

The Archies Betty Veronica

Played the CD today and the sound is very good. I'm just glad that people who want to hear the music can do so easily now, after it's been o/p for so many years. As wrote when I started this thread, I feel that this record (at least the first eight cuts which comprised the Piedmont LP - the additional four cuts are good, but not up to those eight) is the best of the 1960s "rediscovery" recordings. And that's saying a lot. There were a number of very fine recordings that came from musicians who were rediscovered by a wider public. Masterful playing and singing - No need to say more than that.
