Chris, I got JimR to listen to another Joyce cd or two; he had heard one that didn't impress, and then heard those that DID, so he was on the hunt! Yes, she is the Joyce from Brazil. Angela Strehli I used to see at least once a month for a few years here in Austin; she had the best darned band around with George Barns and Sara Brown and Denny Freeman and sometimes Derek O'Brien. I used to go dancing with a couple of gals I worked with and be right up by the stage. I was drumming in a few blues-rock bands then, and seeing her band over and over was like a master's course!

Well Mnytime I don't have, or want to have, cable, so I don't see those shows on TVLand.

People actually consider her a sex symbol? Wow. I've never seen S. W. A. T and many other shows in this thread. I think I only ever watched SNL during the seventies! It was the eighties that TV captured me. There aren't many tv shows I really want to see again that aren't readily available. The Dick Van Dyke Show---yeah, that would be a hoot to see. I like the early years of Bewitched too and haven't seen any of that show for a long time. There was one show that was on that I'd like to see again because it just lasted a short period and then disappeared and I've never seen a minute of it since: "City of Angels." Was an attempt to be Chandleresque. I remember it being entertaining for fans of his work. And there was one recent show I wished would have succeded, by the makers of "Seinfeld": "It's Like You Know." Also, I didn't get to see too many of Bonnie Hunts' shows, and I'd like to; I find her very attractive in many ways! (I think she writes and acts well.)

Ånother good photo Chris! Here's Mary Osborne!

This is a nice album. Just a good time feel, and a nicely played batch of songs with swing and feeling. "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" is always a treat, and I like this one; Tommy and Lou are just putting the tune out there, with a light bounce. Both horns have such great SOUND on this lp. And the rhythm section is good, I like their interpretation of the souljazzy beat of the time. Not something everyone has to have, but it sure would be nice to see this and the other other Argos by Lou in a nice little package, a small box set. . .

Hasn't been too hard to find, here it is on cdnow: REVENGE!

I have this, and have been enjoying it since its cd release. Haven't made many guesses re: personnel or tunes. As for personnel, I would tend to guess in the direction of Dizzy Big Band sidemen. . . .

I don't think we'll see it. . .it would be an awfully big box!

These are still the initial Monk family cds (I'm just reacting to "continuing to issue cds.) I have them all, and I like them all; rabid Monk fans who don't demand sonic purity will. (Though most sound excellent.)

Yes, this cd is well worth grabbing; excellent sound, excellent notes, excellent playing!

The excellent "Bill Dodge" transcriptions are in fact in print on cd, on the Circle label by George H. Buck.

Chuck, the new reissue is better in sound, definitely, and restores the original lp selections. I'm a Velma fan. . .I don't find her grating. I always enjoy her in this band.

Freddie Hubbard.

One of the best ever, I agree. Very sad news.

Yes. No. Maybe. Remember. . . Twardzik/Freeman, no release yet (and I asked Michael about that and he said "get the Japanese cd.) The Quebec "From Hackensack to Englewood Cliffs." . . . . Admittedly these were not JRVGs, but. . . . Yes. No. Maybe! is how I see it.

Well be sure to let us know what you think Ed. I had a really fun week or two when I first got this set !

Okay, so maybe it doesn't sound great on solid state and electrostatics, but the sound is great on my system! Better than any other cd releases I've heard of the material. You are going to really enjoy this ED!

I remember quotes from Pops saying that Bix, and that Bunny and that Bobby Hackett were "favorites". . . I think he liked all three of those cats and many others.

He is a very interesting pianist. Unfortunately a drug overdose took him away from the world very early in his recording career. It would be wonderful to have many more recordings from him. I know that he was recorded live with Bird which is available on a Collectables reissue of a Charlie Parker Records lp called "The Happy Bird" (and is likely also available on Philology), and that there was a Pacific Jazz session released on an lp shared with Russ Freeman that is fantastic; recently this was reissued with alternates on a "Superbit" TOCJ lp facimile from Japan. A great player!
