Yeah buddy Chuck, all that stuff you mention is great. Going to have to find the Grand Award Pee Wee!

Two times too much for this comrade who is not lover of huge breasts!

Okay, Tatum, Ray Charles and oh so many did the guitar/bass/piano thing, so that is not that unusual actually at all. Stuff Smith did some interesting trio material as did Eddie South I believe.

Are you including the Cole Trio format, and the many jumpers onto that bandwagon such as Tatum, Brown, Blazers, Ray Charles, many others?

I pretty much HATE Xmas music. . . But I like this one:

Hey Evan, you share birthdays with Brian Setzer and Babyface!

Very nice beginning sir!

Either: a. Someone had to do it. b. The Devil made me do it.

Lately it's been Mingus music, spawned by a listen to "Mingus Plays Piano," where his ideas are so chrystalized that it got me thinking of orchestral versions of the pieces and started the flow in my noggin!

Gosh, I haven't been warned YET. I'm slipping!

SoulStation, Duke Ellington privately recorded his birthday appearances at a club in the Northwest over a course of at least five years, and this was leased by Mercer Ellington to Laserlight for a very entertaining five cd set, "Happy Birthday Duke."

Alright! Now we know who's who we can talk about on the Political threads!

I believe she spells her name "Nicki". . . I've heard her on Johnny Frigo's DNA Exposed! on Arbors which is a nice cd. She can play!

Maybe it was, I never checked that link because I thought it was another, earlier, discography site of Wilens. I'm sorry if I've duplicated this. . . . I found this today looking for sessions recorded on SoulStation1's birthday.

You're welcome. Let me know if you ever find that one!

Hey Af, Ringo Starr's son Jason was born the same day you were!

Obviously I don't think his music sucks. It's quite unconventional, and he was a weirdo, no getting around that. But I think his fusion of world elements into his unusual style of "jazz" is really fun for me, and after years of listening I find that the chaos makes more sense, and the musical world is a great one to visit!

Finished Jazz and Modernism by Appel. Was alright. . . . Now in The Book of David by David Rosenburg. Excellent!

I voted no, for many reasons.

Hey Claude, would you accept some blues? http://www.arhoolie.com/titles/1043.shtml

Hey SS1, this was recorded on your day of birth: Jazz Meets India : Barney Wilen (ts) Manfred Schoof (tp, cor) Irene Schweitzer (p) Uli Trepte (B) Mani Neumaier (d) Diwan Montihar (sitar,vo) Keshav Sathe (tabla) Kusum Thakur (tamboura) Villingen, Germany, December 23, 1967, Saba/MPS SB-1514ST Sun Cove Yaad I'D LOVE TO HEAR IT SOMETIME!

I'm with Chuck on this one. The remastering of the early stuff sounds superb on my system!

That's pretty much the list I would draw up. I have the Classics all the way up to 1940 as well; they don't always sound the best by any means, but they're chronological and fill a lot of gaps. I actually have a few of the Masters of Jazz too for the same reasons. And I really don't think the Columbia cds sound bad, they sound pretty decent in many aspects.

My book fell apart too. Darn. But that's cool. Read it once, and knew most everything in it already!
