Is there any other kind?

Wow, I bet that was the result of a government study!

Word!

Definitely some obscure material in this first volume! I am familiar with most of the music in the following volumes, but some intriguing pieces that are new to me in this volume. I'm enjoying the first quarter of the book as well, and I think this is a great presentation: text and music all under one roof. Keep 'em coming!

Thanks Chuck. Explains why I have never found another source lp. Yeah, I can see why Randy feels that way. But the compositions and his playing. . . really fine.

Yes, Blue Moses. I have a 24 bit Japanese version of that on cd that sounds pretty good. I have the CTI lp on cdr as well. Can't decide which is better, have ketp both, listen to them both. . . It's very very cool. I wish that someone would reissue the one that I have on a Trip lp, "Blues". . . . I don't know if it originiated on Trip or not (does anything?) but I've never been able to figure out what other label it might have been on.

Allen, quite an impressive package. . . I know this was unbelievably hard and tedious work. . . many thanks.

Looks as if he did, from the obituary 7/4 posted above: Within six months, Knotts had taken a job on a radio Western called ''Bobby Benson and the B-Bar-B Riders,'' playing a wisecracking, know-it-all handyman. He stayed with it for five years, then came his series TV debut on ''The Steve Allen Show.''

Yes me too. And though not really relevant in this thread I really dig the stuff with Bartz.

I just think the intent of the album is to be more "Groovey" and less jazz and solo centric. . . So I think it succedes within the intention. (But short of asking Bobby, I'm not positive of his intentions. I dig this one a lot though for what it is or what I perceive it is or both).

I'm waiting for the Lonehill "Complete" version.

And I've never met Mr. Weston, but they way you describe him is the way I imagine he would be!

Well, welcome to org, where indeed old friends meet and hang out. I can't even remember the official reason the BN Board got 86'd. I think at heart it was because Norah Jones was bringing new raw faces to the web pages and they didn't like the rather rambunctious bunch we had become with our we can do whatever we want attitude. . . . Took a while but I found this place a few months later and have been very happy here ever since.

I'd rather not talk about those too much. . . . -_- Just mean concert recordings, radio broadcast recordings, etc. There have been several really good Live at Lincoln Center broadcasts the last few years, as well as a few killer BBC shows, etc. I would definitely consider him as part of a tradition that contains Ellington and Monk! I love the calmness at the core of both the man and the work.

Man, the material on the Weston is so so good. I'd be glad if it was going low and away, that wold mean so many people with that great music! As time goes by I get more and more a fan of Weston's work. . . . I think I have all the official and a lot of the unofficial recordings! Long may he reign!

Oh you're certainly welcome, a wonderful resource!

I wish they would make a Bond movie that. . . wasn't a Bond movie and was maybe a realistic interpretation of one of Fleming's books!

That is a partial title of a website that reproduces some wonderful vintage lp covers in good scans: http://www.gokudo.co.jp/Record/BlueNote1/ Boy are you in for a TREAT!

I also have this as "Movie Themes from France" on Timeless, and it's wonderful! Grab it if you can!

I hear ya! I think Waters would be a good vehicle. . . but. . . I remember reading here that there were Mosaic plans for "seventies Hutcherson Blue Notes" and I would find it hard to believe this one wouldn't be included in their plans. If they plan it, it's likely EMI isn't going to have another American company lease it. . . Not impossible, but unlikely.

Most certainly was not Lon!

What he said. Here's hoping someone revisits those tapes and gets it right. RVG I hope! (Most likely it will be McMaster for a Mosaic Select).

Happy birthday!
