Charlie Parker 1945 - 1952 (Vee-Jay Japan)

Horace Silver Quintet: The Tokyo Blues John Harris, Jr.

always for that record

"People who freak out about Rhodes "just because" are like people who eat rice with a knife." What does that mean, beyond being a stupid cheap shot? No one responding freaked out over an electric piano,

Tampa Bay has the same W-L record as Cleveland.

It was a worthwhile post.

Thanks, Jeff. Good (though brief) additions to Freddie Webster's recorded output.

Truly wonderful music !

Louis Cottrell Trio: Bourbon Street (Riverside/OJC)

Muddy Waters: Trouble No More

Exile on Main Street is my favorite.

One of my two favorite RS albums

Two beauties!

Albert Ayler: Slugs' Saloon

Kofsky was an idiot/ideologue who tried to force musicians into his range of politics. I read the interview when it was published, and Trane didn't play his game.

Great record !!!

Nothing to do with the music - I've enjoyed what little Nancarrow I've heard - but that cover photo looks like a mug shot.

Ornette and others: Lenox School of Jazz Concert

Blakey and the Messengers: The Witch Doctor

This video (which includes Steve Boone and Zal) tells a different story: As for the drug bust, the self righteous rock press of the day came down on Zal hard and brought bad publicity for both him and the band. I'll leave you to your revenge fantasies.

KD: Showboat (Time/Bainbridge)

I'm not into suck punching anyone. Too old and not into violence. Plus, I'll trust my own take from meeting him over what was in an old article. The Times article showed a photo of John Sebastian in the West Village. I'm sure he still lives in Woodstock. Eddie Diehl lived in Poughkeepsie for a fair number of years. I don't know if he and Sebastian knew each other when both were in NYC, but he worked on guitars for Sebastian in recent years. And as far as I know, Sebastian didn't fire Zal Yanovsky. According to stories and interviews, Zal ended up leaving the Spoonful because of the drug bust situation and because he wasn't happy with the more introspective turn that Sebastian's songwriting had taken.

Does anyone else here have some favorite Kenny Dorham recordings? Mine are The Jazz Messengers at the Café Bohemia Volume 1, Quiet Kenny, and Showboat.
