I remember someone writing a review back when and saying that "Lean On Me" was three of their favorite songs.

Best of luck. Just so nothing goes wrong with your ears....

Hope you enjoyed it. Can't imagine that you didn't.

Paul Bley/NHOP (Steeplechase)

Ok, digging up this thread. I'm trying to understand what OK means in the somewhat cryptic liner notes to the 2001 edition. Both tracks of "Know What I mean" are noted as bonus tracks (well, only on the back liner tray). Not that I am all that bound to the past, but this would suggest there is no way to recreate the original LP if one chose to. Some version of "Know what I mean" ended the original LP, but then on this CD, there is a different version (less edited version of the original track?) and a different take? Or track 8 is basically the LP version? Maybe I am just thinking about this too hard. You know what I mean? Idon't have the 2001 version, but I believe that the March 13, 1961 take of "Know What I Mean" (4:55 on the CD; 4:51 on the LP) was included on the original LP. The January 27,1961 version of "Know What I Mean" (7:01 on the CD) is an added track on CD.

Well it started when I checked out their album of Pink Floyd covers... 'Nuff said.

Heard The Philharmonic Quintet of New York, a group comprised of players from the wind sections of the NY Philharmonic - clarinet, bassoon, horn, oboe/English horn, and flute. They played pieces for wind quintet by Anton Reicha, Nielsen, Stuart Balcomb, Jean Francaix, and a short charming encore by a student musician whose name I didn't catch. All of the pieces, with the exception of the Nielsen, seemed somewhat lightweight to me, but the musicians played them well. I have a feeling that they enjoyed playing the music a bit more than I enjoyed listening to it, but it was enjoyable for me to hear something different from what I usually listen to. Should add a disclaimer that I don't have enough background to comment on this music but, as my wife will tell you, that's never stopped me from having something to say.

Brings up a second question: How bored do you have to be to check out a CD by The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra called Endless Love?

I never counted, but I'm surprised that there are that many. There are a number I never/rarely look at.

Happy Birthday! Get back here where you belong!

Yeah. There are times during that video clip when Hefner comes off like an awkward teenager in awe of an adult woman.

Not to get too dark about it, but, what with the world and life being what it is and all, that's a twistedly "logical" (forgive the word choice...) time to do it if you're so inclined, late 20s, early 30s...right when the idealism starts to hit a brick wall & the pragmatism hasn't yet taken root...all that's left is cynicism, unencumbered and unimpeded. BOOM goes the dynamite if you're so inclined... I hear you and understand what you're saying. It still shocked me when I read it.

Didn't know anything about Beverly Kenney, so I googled her and found that she committed suicide at the age of 28. Surprising and shocking that someone so young would die in that manner.

Stephane Grappelli/Martial Solal: Happy Reunion (Owl) Listening to this LP, I was reminded of a conversation I had with a musician friend. We were talking about listening to Hank Jones and Benny Carter. My friend had some good advice. He said that listening to those gentlemen's music was different from listening to Monk's music or Bird's music. You won't hear adventure and excitement, but you will hear music that's played perfectly. That's what I heard when I listened to Happy Reunion this afternoon.

Stephane Grappelli/Martial Solal: Happy Reunion is another good later Grappelli recording.

Duke Ellington's Jazz Violin Session is a very good one. Ray Nance and Svend Asmussen (the latter on viola) play on it also. I've enjoyed this one for years.
