More to discuss than anyone (everyone?) can answer. There are many answers - musical and sociological. I imagine that there are books out there on WWII and post WWII music and society to be read. Perhaps part of the answer is that what Ornette later called "dancing in your head" occurred. There have been many kinds of dancing - that's one of them. There are others here who have the sort of minds to tangle with the consequences of the draft, gas rationing, societal changes in both the black & white communities, natural evolvement of musics etc. I'm sure they'll do that. I'd rather experience the music - in my head and otherwise.

Happy Birthday, young fella!

Fine singer. One of my favorites of hers is "Aged and Mellow Blues", recorded when she was Little Esther, backed by the Johnny Otis band with a short but classic solo by Ben Webster. The story was that she added the Phillips with the inspiration of a Phillips 66 sign. edit - A favorite from her later years is "Set Me Free" on Atlantic.

Good one! Read all of Macdonald's novels about 35 years ago, & hadn't revisited them since. Decided that now would be a good time to do so.

Your 2 cents and someone else's 130 dollars. Probably worth it if someone wants it & has the $. Lower than current Amazon prices.

Sounds like Tim hung out in a few lounges during all those road trips.
