Thanks for the tip. Great article, and the "The Dark Tree" album is an everlasting favourite.

Chris McGregor - Brotherhood of Breath

Reuben Wilson - LoveBug

A gentleman here spending a happy evening with some friends.

The Melvin Jackson is a really funky album on with a lot of double bass on the experimental side. This album should have a renaissance.

She might reconsider the evening plans with this man, if it's not to late.

Previously: Melvin Jackson - Funky Skull Now: Jimmy McGriff - Electric Funk

Lizzy Mercier Descloux - One for the Soul

The Verve edition sounds mighty fine: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nows-Time-Remastered-Charlie-Parker/dp/B0000069NB/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1269847676&sr=8-3 Might be even better sounding version though.

There is a lot on Big Joe in the book on Doc Pomus by Alex Halberstadt. As his main inspiration Big Joe both kickstarted Doc into a music career and songwriting, so this man inspired a lot of great songs to written as well. This of course is a classic:

My favorites are: Pithecanthropus Erectus The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady Mingus Oh, Yeah! Mighty music all over.

I got one that looks much like the Aleratec on this site: http://mp3.about.com/od/musiclibrarymaintenance/tp/best-cd-dvd-repair-kits.htm It works pretty nicely, and I have repaired some scratchy CDs with it. With some CDs you might have to try some times before it works. It also washes dirty CDs.

It seems like Carryin' On will be reissued soon in May: http://www.amazon.com/Carryin-Grant-Green/dp/B0037ZF6WM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1268402669&sr=1-1

This is another Anita O'Day classic: This is Anita
