Who said that?

Try to stay on topic. We've got a seperate thread to discuss weather.

Now please forgive my ignorance, but is that Florida? And does it ever get cold? Close, Arizona. And no, it never does get cold here, at least not in Phoenix. This winter was very short and very mild not unlike last year. We really only have two seasons, Summer and Spring. We will be well into summer temps here soon, 100+ for months straight.

1- This is great stuff. Can't name the tune right now, but this is surely Ben Webster, no? 2 - Did this start in progress or was it really that short? No real guesses, I'll say Fletcher Henderson for the hell of it. 3 - Could be Fletcher Henderson again, us that Hawkins? 4 - 'I'm in the Mood For Love' and if Hawkins was not on any of the other tracks so far, he must be on this one. 5 - This is Hampton, right? Sure seems to be along those lines. Piano may be Oscar Peterson, tenor may be Cobb, trumpet I'm at a complete loss. Maybe the piano is Teddy Wilson? 6 - Nice! Is that Red Garland on piano? Jimmy Woods on alto? Not sure, but I'm into it. 7 - I can guess the name of the tune B-) , but not sure of the wonderful vocalist. I like the mood here. 8 - Accordion??!!! The tune is 'Whisper Not' , I couldn't guess the player in a million years, but I liked it. Something I could dig listening to while sipping on a big ass beer outdoors. 9 - Straight ahead goos stuff. This could be something familiar by the likes of Silver or any other BN artist. I liled the tenor, and really liked the trumpet. Blue Mitchell? 10 - Another good 'un. Steve Kuhn? Lightsey? Nah, perhaps something by some new blood? 11- Funky, funky, funky. Sounds like something from a dance scene in a 1960s era film. Cool. B-) 12 - The tone of the sax was cool, bit that;s as far as it went for me. 13 - It got better when the bass started up, but still a little over my head. However I would be interested to hear more. 14 - After a second listen I was able to appreciate this more. I liked it just fine. No clue on the players. I'll throw Jarret's name out there for laughs and giggles. Shit, it may even be Bill Evans. Oh hell I haev no idea, but me thinks Im liking it more and may want to pick this up. 15 - Very, very sweet. 16 - Funky, funky, funky, again. Seems like I should be able to name this tune. It's okay stuff, but not sure how much if it I could take. 17 - No clue. Safe to say this is not for me. Maybe someday. 18 - THAT IS DUKE!!!!!! I don't know from which performance, but that be Duke in full force.

Lastnight was pizza on the grill. Tonight, looks like red chili burros are in order. Peter, that salmon looks tasty. B-)

Sunny and breezy. Probably will hit the upper 70s today.

Anything, but late for dinner. Badooom, CHING! David, nice post.

Oh yeah........? Oh yeah!!!!!!!

Sorry for being so late. Two cds filled with some great stuff, I look forward to learning more. 1 - A catchy toe tapper, but I could not even begin a serious guess. 2 - Hell, that could be one of a bunch of folks. Arnett Cobb? Illinois Jacquet? 3 - Okay, so I'm thinking that has to be none other than Johnny Hodges, but as the tune goes on, I loose that thought. The arrangement of "On The Sunny Side Of The Street", although a slower tempo, seems very similar to Hampton's anniversary concert at Carnegie Hall in the 70's. So, my guess is, this could be either a Hampton band or an alumni group. The vocalist sounds like the man on track 2, so now I'm totally confused. 4 - Not sure on this. The tune sounds like Christopher Columbus. The trumpet? Cat Anderson? Wallace Davenport? Doc Cheatham? 5 - Too short to grab a hold of. 6 - Snap! That's Ray Nance! B-) Love it, how could anyone not? It's not the whole Duke band here, it may even be minus Duke, although I'm thinkin' I hear him talking it up. Clark Terry is there. This is a real gem. 7 - Mood Indigo. Not sure I'm too fond of this version. 8 - This is Strayhorn's 'Blood Count'. I like the tenor, as a matter of fact, I'm likin' all of it. 9 - Nice. Can't name the tune, but it's done well. Two pianists? One may be Hank Jones, or maybe not. 10 - 'Fly Me To The Moon' Organist unknown to me, and I'm not so sure I care for this. Maybe it's Jimmy McGriff? Wild Bill? McDuff? 11 - This was very enjoyable. I liked it just fine. The tune seems very familair, but I can't place it. 12 - Not bad. Maybe Richie Kamuca? 13 - Probably obvious to everyone, but forst time I've ever heard the clip. Np way I could indentify. 14 - 'Ja-Da' be the tune. No real clue on the player.

Hans, welcome back to the show, I hope you stay awhile. B-)

Hello Hans!

You can only get rich by removing gum from OTHER people's hair. I thought the same thing, he says not. The best thing is you never have to leave your own home. Imagine that, 5,10,even 20 thousand dollars a week pulling Bubble Yum from your own hair.

I heard he was attending a "how to get rich removing gum from your hair" seminar.

"It's just too sexually oriented, you know, the way they're shaking their behinds and going on, breaking it down,"

Glad it found you. B-)

Thank you.

Have a very happy birthday, RT! B-)

First we build, then we have a jazz show.

Put that in all caps and then you'll really have something! B-) Yeah, but it still ain't much.

We're building a mission on the US/Mexico border. Bring your own hammer and a pack of gum.

You've got every reason to be pissed, and yes, fuck Verizon.

Good CD, yes....but....not the best time for caps lock, dude! Oh great.

Ci vediamo, V. Good luck.

I don't think DizzySpells is actually a new member.

It would be nice to finish up a couple of projects. I've been meaning to get this gum out of my hair all day. Let that gum where it belongs and make an entry over there. Yes sir. B-)
