Would have been great to have been on that soundstage!

I had one called "Standards" with Jaco. Never did much for me. In my "I'm so damned bored with Jaco" period (which has moved into the "no Jaco for me" period) I sold it. Haven't missed it.

GET READY: POPS' BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW! Start playing some hot jazz NOW. I've got the Big Band sides on the JSP two cd set going right now.

Yeah. My mama is an okay vibes player but she (and we) were in Philadelphia that day.

I asked Charles once. After he slapped me and jumped up and down like a big Yosemite Sam he said "Yo Mama!"

I'm reading the Blair Jackson biography today. An impressive book! Happy happy Jerome!

That man made so many remarkable pieces of music. He should be remembered forever.

DOH! I was thinking of the Argo title not this Savoy! Yes, the cd was hard to find even when it was "in print." I'm not aware of a source right now. . . .

Great stuff, these suites. In fact all the Ellington on Pablo is worth grabbing, doesn't get the attention it should.

HMmm. . . I'm not sure this ever has been on cd. Fantastic session! I've got a clean burn of this from a clean Michigan lp.

Hmmm. . .it's still early for that one considering how long it's taken for some RVGs. . . . It's a long shot, but still possible.

I wouldn't have assumed factory shrink was waterproof. Seams look too weak to me. Some of the store or business shrink pockets would be a bit better. . . you know it's basically a full pocket with a flap to seal. But I wouldn't want to submerge even these for any dozen microseconds.

What gets me is that he practically overnight started acting like this. . . as a friend of mine says. . . who peed in his cornflakes?

Corner horns that require a long breakin time but I've heard people raving about them for years. http://www.thehornshoppe.com/index.html

Be glad we're not all so consistent. I thought you were an a+ jerk for a long time the way you were running around calling Norah Jones "a talentless hack" in a series of tirades. I changed my mind about you over time.

I don't think so either. Jim warned him on the other thread. I believe that it's good of him to warn him and I also believe he will follow through on the next instance.

Jeez. . . looks like he's become one of those ignorant zenophobic right wing repub wingnuts. Don't look for an apology. Just look away.

I'd talk about it S, but I haven't yet received it. There was some sort of glitch on my preorder. I have most of it on other cds. As you imply, great flipping music! If the recent box sets from Concord are an indication, this will be a great set.

The as yet unrecorded Richard Clayderman/Richard Elliot/and Kenny G album called "Three Dicks."

Gosh it's been a long time since I read any of these great stories. . .I've put comics aside and have really only kept reprints of early Marvel, a complete Dr. Strange up through the stupid full-face costume Colan issues, and my Spirit collection. From memory I think John's (couw's) plan is a good one to follow.

I've never seen this Progressive lp and that's a shame, I'd like to hear those alternates. Bertrand, if as I suspect this is the same Progressive lp label, it is now part of George H. Bucks fabulous holdings and you can see artists etc. here: http://www.jazzology.com/progressive_records.php

Well Worded. Happy Birthday!

I bet it was the SUPER one . . . .

What does "Portrait of Jennie" have to do with Donald Byrd? I am guessing because he recorded it on the Half Note live session. Okay. . .Yes, thanks. B u t I tremendously doubt that had anything to do with Wes covering this film theme song.

It IS as you would think it IS.
