Yes, I really like that bio of Pee Wee as well and reading it made me run through a whole flock of Chicago Style recordings. . . ! Man Pee Wee. . .I just love his musical mind!

I found one copy using my favorite book engine, www.abebooks.com http://dogbert.abebooks.com/servlet/Search...=JOST+JEKKEHARD

Okay, so how is "Free for All." I'm sitting here listening to the TOCJ at work. . . . Did they improve any of that 'too hot' sound on the horns or . . . ?

B-) The winner, and still champeen! Let's hear it for Trane! Wow. . . I better lock up my Amos Milburn and Master jazz sets!

Last year I really liked Dave Mordal. He was funny on and off the stage. I hope that something allows Jay London more exposure, hopefully on TV so I can see him. I really enjoyed his participation. "You might recognize me, I'm the fourth guy from the left on the evolutionary chart." My favorite Steven Wright line/joke is: "I'm a peripheral visionary. I can see into the future, but way off to the side. . . . "

Yes.

I'm not sure that is Duechar either.

Wow, sorry to hear this, and thanks for posting this Andrew.

Photo I never saw before. . . .

I don't have them all. Been on a moratorium of that kind of spending most of this year, and I have ignored a lot of the Selects because I have the material and in the case of say the Monchur not my favorite stuff. . . . I have quite a lot of them though, and in the case of the early sets I don't have them but have the material elsewhere.

Honest sometimes I can recognize Monk from the tone of one note! (I say that listening to cdr #33 of live Monk that I haven't found yet on commercially released cd, a nonet date). Kid Thomas: wonderful New Orleans traditional jazz trumpeter. Check out this listing of cds: http://www.louisianamusicfactory.com/shows...ring=Kid+Thomas

"Thank you. You won't have to put up with me much longer. I'll just move over here."

Monk hits me with TONE, one note from Monk can usually signal "Monk in da house." His very touch, the very positioning of his body, I don't know, maybe the HAT, something makes him that distinctive, at least to my ears.

Ted Kendall does very good work. I'm betting he gets a LOT of the calls that would have gone to Davies in the near future.

So thank gott that rumor about his abduction by aliens was either untrue or a novel approach to jobhunting!

I'm not much of a downloading type of guy, but yes this is a very nice Q album, used to be available in print from Verve!

Okay singlemost, for me. . . wow. . . you ask some difficult questions sometimes Dan. . . . I'm gonna say Monk, because it is HARD to have that distinctive a sound on the piano!

Hodges, Nance, Carney. MONK. Pee Wee.

Well I think this and Idol are apples and oranges, and maybe the talent level overall is higher here, but a lot of these folks are not very young amateurs either! Jay London was my favorite, and yes Tammy Pescatelli (sp?) was easy on the eyes, Alonzo is a very good writer, and I guess I want him to win this time, though Gary Gullman WAS funny this final episode, I don't really like him personally but he WAS funny this time. I thought Cory Holman (sp?) was also an entertaining talent.

I like Wood's fluteplaying quite a bit, his tenor I had to be in the mood for. I actually have quite a bit, maybe fifty minutes of OTHER material of Jimi with Steve and/or Chris on "boots". . . a nice combination; Jimi is recorded as saying something to the effect that he would love to have Steve Winwood in his band at any time! Steve now has a flute and reed player in his band who is pretty darned good.

Those damned paint fumes!

I got a good laugh out of this one! And I NEEDED it! B-)

Well, it's fair if you are under contract to another label and get the gig anyway!

Off the top of my head I would say they are on the Candid cds.

Not yet?
