Whew. I dunno what you did, but the site is LIGHTNING fast now. Way to go!

Nahhhhhhhh.........YOUR'S was good (again!) John Roseboro Joe Scarborough Glenn Yarborough

Just giving this another spin. Sounds more like Sly & the Family Stone than anything else, to me (so far).

Good ONES! Nothing could be finer ... Go Niners! Charlie Steiner [yeah........it's a stretch]

Halsey Minor Minor White John Byner

Good to know. That album and also "In Rock" would be on my 'guilty pleasures' list.

Lloyd Bridges Jeff Bridges Bridget Fonda

Geeeeeeeez. I was just looking at your selection and trying to figure out the Chris Botti/Sam Rivers connection in your listening habits. Thanks for the clarification.

Couldn't have said it better, myself.

Nine Inch Nails - "With Teeth" The Baby Huey Story: The Living Legend

"Get Happy" is one of my favorite Elvis albums. Listen to clips to get an idea of what's there. The songs are mostly very short, so these should be very representative. It's a primer in short-song writing style.

Something I notice missing: names of the bandmembers.

eMusic just added "Live-WHAM!" and I downloaded it. What a smokin' set! This at the end of the AMG review pretty much sums it up: The music itself — from Horace Silver's "Cape Verdean Blues" to Bill Reddie's "Channel One Suite" — is played one way: without a flaw, full of piss and vinegar, and physical — in your face. This is big-band music that will remain contemporary no matter when it is heard because Rich was timeless in his approach to music and life. This set, even with its sonic limitations, is as good as any Rich recording on the market, and better than any of the live ones.

I picked it up today. B-) They still had several copies on the shelf.

Fats Domino Fats Waller Fatty Arbuckle

Thad/Mel disk #1

Stan Getz - "My Foolish Heart: Live at the Left Bank" w/Richie Beirach (piano), Dave Holland (bass), and Jack DeJohnette (drums) Just picked this up from eMusic and it's smokin'. Very much in the style of the "Captain Marvel" album and this band ain't half bad, either.

David Blue Colin Blunstone Rod Argent

I heard this in the used record store a few months ago and thought it sounded pretty smokin' at the time. Maybe I should pick it up next time I'm in there. I think they still have it featured on the wall, actually.

Interesting what Yanow says about it on AMG: Phineas Newborn's Contemporary debut (he would record six albums over a 15-year period for the label) was made just before physical problems began to interrupt his career. This CD reissue has two trio sessions, and finds Newborn joined by either bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones or bassist Sam Jones and drummer Louis Hayes. Actually, the accompaniment is not that significant, for the virtuosic Newborn is essentially the whole show anyway. He performs five jazz standards and three obscurities by jazz composers on this superb recital; highlights include "Cheryl," "Manteca," "Daahoud," and "Oleo."
