His son? I would THINK so. ... and does HE have a son - "IV"?

Only slightly off-topic. I did a search on Netflix for Phineas - hoping that the TV show might be available - and it gave me this: "Breakin' (1984)" The credits included THIS - Phineas Newborn III Interesting ...

FWIW, Hardbopjazz, if you haven't checked out eMusic yet, you can get most all of his albums there, including Roy Haynes' "We Three". At $10/month for 40 tunes, it's a quick and cheap way to build up your Phineas collection. If you only do the free 50-song trial, you could get most of these for nuthin' !

That about says it all. My first exposure to Newborn was hearing him with Teddy Edwards and Howard McGhee on 'Together Again'. Good shit top to bottom. BW, I was just going to say.........get THIS! ... but you beat me to it. B-)

Don't think he was blind.

Of course, 'Structurally Sound' was recorded out on the West Coast by Pacific Jazz so some of that 'vibe' may be a factor. Not just the recording quality, but the sound of the band itself (and Booker in particular) were hard to listen to ... for me.

Thomas Jefferson Jefferson Davis Davis Love III I missed that avatar, Brownian Motion; nice to see it again! Darlene Love Mike Love Jennifer Love Hewitt

As much as I wanted to like "Structurally Sound", I just had too much trouble getting into it and finally traded it in. There was something really harsh about it that I couldn't get past.
