She was so gorgeous around that time!

Jeff, I'm totally with you. First someone should write the novel. Don't think I haven't thought about it; if you turned my house upside down you might even find pages of a project I called as a working title. . . "The Black Iron Prison". . ..

Haven't seen any of his films. . . overheard him talking to someone once and sort of pegged him for a jerk. . . well we'll see. I'm not sure that PKD left me dazed and confused in a . .. "good way" . . . not a good way at least for dealing with present reality comfortably!

Dan, congrats, I was hoping you would gnab this for cheap. Seems as if it were destined to happen (okay, every now and then I feel a little Calvinist).

We're about a year away from a new Philip K. Dick movie. . . A Scanner Darkly. That would be good news if it didn't include . . . Keanu Reeves as the star. Fork. Richard Linklater directing, also Wynona and Woody Harrelson and Morton Downey Jr.

No no, light funk:

Has this one (they actually do "tunes" --more like themes and turnaround phrases!-- from the MD group) made it to cd? I'd like to have it on cd! Lookout Farm, ECM

No, he's dark funk, isn't he?

M. Lunky, my apologies, yes Dreyfus not Storyville That looks like a good one Marty!

many more many more many more

I have had "Yo Miles" since its release and enjoy it. . .but I admit like Guy I feel it lacks something and I miss the something. I'll have to try one of the other two soon. One early emulation of this sound (sort of) was a Dave Liebman ECM, "Lookout Farm," quite a successful effort in my opinion.

The Solal sides HAVE been reissued; I haven't heard the reissues, the lp is a marvelous session. I really like Solal; I really can't listen to him for very long, he's so challenging! I agree these are all excellent choices, excellent releases. I also like the recent Blue Note cd and the Storyville large ensemble Ellington.

Holy Cow. . . . I know I'll get this eventually.

I'm so glad I have the cd set! B-) This was another great Mosaic rescue mission.

The Vanguards, the Columbias, the Master Jazz, the Impulses, there just is not bad Rushing (though I haven't heard the RCA). And the Decca Basies, and. . . . Well we're blessed with so much great stuff. It's such a distinctive voice he had. "Rheinhardt, Rheinhardt. . . " B-)

I say what Buzzy Linhart would say. . . . I got's to have friends. Thanks for being my friends!

Eric, nicely put. You provacateur you!

It's quite true, some people are spending too much time here. I may be the bulk of the some (sum) peoples myself! Though I do spend LESS time here I admit it is hard to tell. ONE poster who has left and is very missed is Hans (J. A. W.)

Anytime he sings that song it's a wonder. . . just the way he says the words. . . he was a master. I laugh right now thinking of those "Soundies" of him in love with that sweet little gal and in the dancing contest, etc.

Although I have a feeling it's going to be "Boney Maroney" after listening to Harold's cdr "45s #4"!

Today it was "I Thought About You"

Man I love that guy! You know, ever since I saw the Jazz Casual that he appeared in I have been wishing there were about four hours or more recorded of him sitting on a piano chair, playing the keys and singing and reminiscin'!

I'm of divided minds about this. I really don't think anything more stringent than Jim's original policies are necessary. Or should be. And I don't think this place is making Jim's band smell. People won't expect the band to reflect ever attitude here. Yeah, I've really been soured to a lot of the discussions here. Guess for me it started when people sort of stood around the corpse of Leslie Gourse and started kicking. Something started then that gains momentum and makes this place a lot less fun for me. BUT this place isn't BEHOLDEN to be fun for me, if it's not fun I participate less, that's the way things go. I really regret the departure of some of the posters here and wish they would come back. Just coming back and stepping around the cowpies in the meadow would make this place better. They're being here and being them and avoiding the 20 car pileups. Most of all THAT is what I would like to see.

That is also on the afore-mentioned two cd set "Young Bird" on Masters of Jazz. That two cd set has so much great stuff on it it is well worth seeking out.

It'll be around in May. . . .
