Clifford Brown - the Lou Donaldson/Clifford Brown Quintet sides

And she wrote that in her early twenties, no one should write like that so young. It's an amazing book with a lot of unforgettable scenes an images. I'd only read a few of her stories before reading Wise Blood. After reading that one, I'll be reading all of her works. Just have to decompress first.

Flannery O'Connor's Wise Blood Flannery O'Connor described Wise Blood as a "comic novel". I laughed a few times while reading it but, for the most part, its characters scared the hell out of me. I'll never forget them.

Hey, once you've stolen the music, why worry about stealing a photo?

Prayers for a full recovery for Mr. Fielder.

I can remember the name Winky Dink and You, but I must not have liked the show, because I can't remember watching it.

Billy Bang Sextet: The Fire from Within (Soul Note) Bang's solo on "Petty Tyrants" - :tup

Roscoe Mitchell: "Off Five Dark Six" from Nonaah (Nessa) and Pres: "I'm Confessin' that I Love You" from Lester Young in Washington, D.C., 1956 (Pablo) Both of these gave me a sense of the man behind the saxophone he was blowing through.

:party: Happy B'Day!!! :party: Enjoy being forty - Hope there are many, many more to follow.

Still like to sit and read The Times in the morning while I'm having my breakfast. It's a more comfortable fit for me than sitting in front of a computer screen.

Had the same results. Frustrating because I wanted to hear it.

Sonny Stitt Quartet: Personal Appearance Was there ever a bigger a waste of talent in the history of jazz than Sonny Stitt when he was phoning it in? edit: I owe Mr. Stitt an apology. I listened to side 1 of this record yesterday, and had no inclination to listen to side 2. I did listen to side 2 this morning and Mr. Stitt does get into it on a few cuts there. A lot of this record still sounds like he was going through the motions, but it does contain some some good moments.

Personal update: Picked up the Atlantic CD reissue of N.O. Suite. Sounds very similar to the LP, but the CD clears up some of the muddiness I heard when I listened to the LP. Bottom line is that I can listen to the entire CD without a problem. Listening fatigue set in midway through one side of the LP. Sound still isn't the greatest, but the CD works for me.

Another one here who can't help you with your question(s), but it's good to have you back.

My favorite Don Menza: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...73&hl=menza Thanks again to Jim for hipping me to it.

Thanks, Joel. Brought back memories from my mid-teen years. Then again, not all of those memories are good ones.

Little Niles has seemed to be an "okay" session to me. Had a relisten this afternoon & what hit me is that there are too few solos on it, and too many very short tracks (out of seven tracks, two are under three minutes and two are under three and a half minutes). If you have Johnny Griffin in the studio, let him play. I haven't timed it, but it sounds to me like George Joyner gets as much solo space on this record as Griff. Joyner plays well, but there's something wrong with that scenario. It could have been a better record.
