Johnny Paycheck's "(Pardon Me) I've Got Someone To Kill" is one intense record.

Seems like you did this one just last week: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=50885

Happy Birthday!!! :party: :party:

Trapper John Philly Joe Robin Roberts

Art world crooks seem to give Wall Street crooks a good run for the money. Here's hoping that the Grosz family prevails.

Barnacle Bill the Sailor Sir Francis Drake Scrooge McDuck

Don't think that Jaki Byard Quartet: Live! (Prestige) has been mentioned. Joe Farrell does some wailing on that one.

Late in the day, but it's still your birthday - so :party: :party:

Never had this. How is it? 2 LPs - some very good mid 70's Cecil - overall a good set, but not essential, except for Cecil.

Spirit of Memphis: "Jesus Brought Me" from Happy in the Service of the Lord

:tup Thanks for sharing, Mark.

mtodde mentioned "excitement"; John Tapscott mentioned the "'social' aspect" of collecting; and It Should Be You mentioned "the serendipity of the unintended find". I miss all of those things. What I think I miss most is the social aspect. Ordering online has some advantages, but it's basically isolating. It doesn't replace the times when I'd get together with a couple of friends and hit the record stores in NYC or Cambridge, compare finds, and talk music for hours.

Nothing I needed in the way of CDs at my local Borders - not much in the way of CDs there at all, for that matter - but I did find a copy of Adam Thirlwell's book The Delighted States and saved 12 bucks. So thanks for sharing that coupon, Be Bop.

Reading fasstrack's last post, I was reminded of a passage in George E. Lewis' book, A Power Stronger than Itself, where Kalaparush is quoted: "I would be trying to learn how to play Hank Mobley licks and stuff, right? Roscoe would say, why are you trying to play that shit for? Man, why don't you play your own music? He would get mad. He'd say, man, they done played that stuff, over and over, and they played it better than you can play it. That was just a whole new frame of reference." Another way to see and hear things and go at them.

One previous thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...=record++stores But maybe not a bad thing to start a new discussion.

Happy Birthday wishes to Mr. Moody! Thanks for everything.

Jackie Davis plays organ on Ella's Lady Time.

I started listening to jazz and buying down beat just after the "anti jazz" stuff went down. Sometime after the fact I wondered if at least part of it wasn't just a ploy to create controversy and sell magazines. Perhaps I'm too cynical, but perhaps not.

Just turn off a House rerun I'd seen twice and turned on the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Big mistake. Why are those people (not just talking about the short little fat guy) making big bucks - or any kind of bucks?

Okay - one other Sunny +: Sunny Ozuna Rocky Morales Doug Sahm

Billy Budd Bartleby Queequeg

Thank God that Ornette has never been in his right mind. Include Von Freeman in that also!
