Oh I'm a lot of fun! But I didn't want to necessarily wear that reputation. I hear that's Berigan's area of connoisseurship though!

It's going to have an all English booklet! Go figure!

Nope, I have never mentioned that, and to my knowledge I have never seen any of those types of films save in excerpt in TV programs. BUT in my former employment with the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles in the first half of the eighties I have delivered official documents to both men's and women's facilities in Texas. NOT an expert. But. . . not totally clueless either. My experience with the Facilities Management division of my current agency (of the last 20 years service) is not connected with prison facilities, but with state office buildings and parking facilities.

My money would be on the pen.

And the Andorran version "Complete Bird and Monk Sessions without Bird and Monk" will be due eventually.

Agreed. There should have been a smilie after my pointing finger of blame. I'm with you entirely. Denial at a group level is both a survival tool, and a pathway to destruction I guess. It sure is a modus operandi.

It's a shame they are not doing the Vi Redd lp in its entirety. TOCJ released it several years as a "Blue Note Club" item. . . . It's great.

What's wrong with me? I actually like quite a bit of Soul of the Bible (French Blue Note put this out as a two cd set!)

Damn. Well. . . maybe they SMELL funky.

Just started soaking my special wet noodle whip. . . .

And, it's the Democrats' fault.

Yes, the candle is burning at both ends. . . .

Here's the official record label page: http://www.tuffcity.com/html/bluesjazz.asp...AlbumList=15632

Proof of global warming . . . .

Yeah, according to a friend of a friend who is the Texas label rep, yeah, for real.

I bet the Turtles covered that one. . . .

Holy Stitt, it's a beautiful reproduction, and in a triple matted frame it looks wonderful.

Not quite the same thing, but I have seven framed digital drawings of jazz musicians by Don Van Selus (a former poster here and on the BN Board) that I feature and cherish. I have a Duke Ellington poster I have framed in my living room, as well as a poster image of the Miles Davis/Gil Evans box set that I got from Columbia when it was released. That is the centerpiece of the walls in the living room and very expensively framed! In my office at work I have a great framed enlargement of a magazine article about how Lester Young prepares his pork pie hat that Tom in RI sent me that I can gaze at from my desk, and behind me are two posters: A TOCJ RVG poster with the picture of RVG smoking in front of the lathe (given to me by Greg Maltz), and the David X. Young poster that came with the Jazz Loft two cd set. I have pen drawings my youngest brother Bill drew of Duke, Mingus, Cannon, Strays, Miles and Dolphy, framed and on disply in my listening room and in my office at work. I also have a Sidney Bechet Savoy 45 EP cover on display on the wall of my office, and in my listening room a wonderful oil painting of Coltrane done by my brother Bill. . . it's a painted version of the Blue Train cover. I also have a cool little jazz drawing by Vanbeat that I need to get framed. An embarassment of wealth!

You didn't! There are two things that I really like about Hines' solo playing. One: there's no cocktail prettiness. Or I've never heard it. Not that I dislike me some cocktail prettiness, but it's all jazz with Earl. Two: he has this unique to my ears drive and rhythm. He just seems to motor along like a '30s roadster on a winding road and always have just the right amount of throttle. . . . It's exhilirating.

How many favorites can one have? I really enjoy a lot of Hines work, but my favorites are those I mentioned. Poor Paul! He'll go broke if he buys all our favorites! If we're talking NONsolo Hines, I really like that Delmark of material with Ellingtonians.

I can tell you that the LP set is WAY heavier than the CD set. I actually had both. . . cduniverse sent me the LP set instead of the CD set. . . got that corrected though, don't have it any longer. (This was years ago).

Nancy Wilson & The Three Sounds Sittin' In With Nancy Wilson And The Three Sounds, recorded live at Jorgie's, 1961 VGM Records Dan is right about the sound. I think The Three Sounds back her up on her side.

Add me to the list of those who likes the Geller and the CBBB collaborations. Don't have much else by him but that's likely going to change in the years ahead.

The party is underway! Many more happy ones.
