OK - I've been reading this thread for the past few days and I don't want to throw things off track since I pretty much know what jazz 1 is looking for. But - I keep reading the names of the various singers who've been mentioned and I keep thinking - has there ever been a more creative singer than Billie Holiday? None that I've heard.

Mississippi John Hurt John Hurt John Heard

Can't choose just one - listened to too much good music this week: Bill Dixon: "Places and Things" from Considerations 1 (Fore) Joseph Jarman: "Little Fox Run" - previously unissued, longer version & "Non-Cognitive Aspects of the City" from Song For (Delmark) Hi Henry Brown (w. Charley Jordan): "Preacher Blues" from Times Ain't Like They Used To Be Vol. 4 (Yazoo)

How 'bout a thread with just smilies - no words?

People who wear top hats while looking through a monocle. That describes most of the people I know.

Lists are fun to read sometimes, but they're just lists. If MG, Chuck Nessa, Peter Friedman, and EKE BBB - to pick four random members here - all made up lists of 100 essential jazz records, I'm sure there would be major differences of opinion in what they compiled.

John Simmons recorded with many of the giants - Louis, Monk, Milt Jackson, James P., Benny Carter, Don Byas, Nat Cole, Hawk, Billie, and Pres - to name some of them.

All the best to you on your birthday!

If some of the other saxophonists mentioned had stayed with Monk for a longer time, they might have gotten inside of Monk's music. They didn't remain with Monk - for whatever reasons - and Charlie Rouse did, and Charlie Rouse did get inside Monk's music more than any other saxophonist.

My Borders has no old Conns.

If anyone's looking for Black Saint/Soul Note titles, Cadence distributes them and has most titles in stock. http://db.cadencebuilding.com/searchresult...p;Search=Search http://db.cadencebuilding.com/searchresult...p;Search=Search

Haven't seen you around here recently, but Happy Birthday!

Bill Dixon: Considerations 1 (Fore)

For all of Phil Schaap's faults, he has done a lot of good things for musicians and the music. (And yeah, sometimes he's over-done things, and yeah, he does seem to have a overlarge ego.) But he's done many more positive things for the music than I have, so I'm not going to knock him.

Could the $ at Woodstock have influenced Miles a bit also?

Feelin' better? Seems that Chewy's made a complete recovery.

Went to Borders and got a couple of RVGs with the 40% coupon: Duke Jordan: Flight to Jordan Johnny Griffin:A Blowin' Session Had both on LP, but got them for the extra tracks. They were cheap enough and I'm an addict, so ...

Picked up a couple of RVGs with the coupon. Thanks, Stefan.
