Conjure: Music for the Texts of Ishmael Reed (American Clavé) Usually I have no use for all-star gatherings of this sort (Olu Dara, Allen Toussaint, David Murray, Taj Mahal, Billy Hart, Steve Swallow, Kenny Kirkland, Milton Cardona, Lester Bowie, and many others), but this one sounds just fine to me.

Hard to believe that he would want to come back - and that any team would want him.

A Very Happy Bithday to you, Mike!!

Monk: Straight, No Chaser (Columbia)

Keith Olbermann Superman Captain Marvel

Ella Fitgerald Sings the Duke Ellington Song Book (Verve/Speakers Corner) - LPs 1 & 2

Mister X The Shadow Casper the Friendly Ghost

Roswell Rudd: Blown Bone (Philips Japan) Not my favorite Roswell Rudd - always sounded like a bit of a mess to me. But at least this listen it sounded like a fun mess.

Best wishes to you on Your Birthday, Hans!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

That IS Darrin's mom, Mabel Anderson! http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=6643357 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mabel_Albertson Sorry - My bad. That photo was listed as Lola Albright on a site I found. So what does Lola look like today?

Lola then (on Peter Gunn): Lola now: She still has style.

I don't know if it makes sense, but it makes me happy sometimes. A lot to be said for that.
