Looks like Miles is learning from somebody who can't play shit!

Me either KU. . . .

You know, I never noticed the bird headed ashtray before!

Man, happy birthday GENIUS!

That's right, Vivendi Universal owns it. This did come out as a Japanese K2 release some years back and may have been reissued once more as well. . . .

The recent Verve is FANTASTIC.

House of Blue Lights HAS been on cd. . . b u t not an American cd.

Yes on the original cover art on the Fresh Sounds cd.

Seems fitting that one of his last recorded performances was "There Will Never Be Another You." Happy Birthday lady Pres! (Dig the Air Conditioning!)

Beverly is cool, but it is Up, Over and Out that knocks me out (and is the tune that Aric was referring to that is recorded unofficially from Europe).

The Mercury material! A huge chunk of it is reissued in a two cd set called "Sophisticated Swing." Also, the Savoy material is fantastic, and most is reissued in a two cd set called "The Adderley Brothers: Summer of 1955"---I guess basically all of Adderley is worth hearing. I still haven't heard all the final Capitols, but want to.

Yeah Ellington. The blue PAINTER. Shheessh, not necessarily at the piano, but what that guy did with the BLUES!

Heaven help me if I have to take an ASCAP test! I'm just into the overweight category. Oh joy oh joy. That damned Ben and that damned Jerry! Desk jockeying the last seven years hasn't helped. . . but I'll be back in Elvin Jones' like shape in no time. . .once I retire!

Hmmmm. Somehow my vote didn't register. Ah well!

I do lust after some women in my heart for brief moments. Both sweets and salts for me. . . Like you Dan I love peaunt butter/chocolate ice cream, and a lot of other ice creams. . . I have to have a little bit of ice cream in the evenings lately it seems. And I didn't think I liked salty stuff, but I've been having either tortilla chips or pretzels every work day as part of my lunch, and if you let me have my druthers I'd go out to eat at one of the many fantastic Mexican food places here and eat chips and salsa far more and more often than I should. Late forties. . . food is meaningful as a stress reliever for me I guess, as smoking and drinking hardly ever happen as stress relievers any longer (no smoking at all, a tiny bit of social drinking on occasion). Battling the bulge, neither winning nor losing, just fighting!

Monk and Hancock are very good answers that I agree with. Another that comes to mind, and is a favorite, is Art Hodes.

I am so glad that my wife and I are very compatible sleeping wise. I love sleeping with my wife. I now have a hard time falling asleep without her. Habit built up I guess. Alexander, in your shoes I would be very reluctant to have my nose broken and reset! My one problem is that I seem to "need" less and less sleep, I can't seem to sleep more than seven hours tops a night. . . and I still seem to "think" I "want" more but it just doesn't happen! I get up and listen to my stereo. . . win win I guess.

Well here is another favorite, one of the most recent movies that I have seen that I was really moved by and that I feel is excellent in every way. . . Monsoon Wedding.

Hey, wake up Big Al!

Yeah, I bought the cd just to get that session! (We are all likely to have the rest of the material.)

I wouldn't be surprised if he "really means" Moto Grosso. This may be how he thinks of it. I think of it more as "Fat Mess."

On cd on the Chronogical Classics Bud Powell release.
