  1. I'll roll with most of Clifford's free jazz list, but got to disagree on 76 (Moondoc), 82 (Jimmy Lyons box), and 93 (Jack Wright). Anyway, I would not want to be without them.
  2. The Hatfield Mrs. Field Mrs. Feelgood
  3. Lorena Bobbit Mack the Knife Little John
  4. Bozo the Clown Red Skelton John Boehner
  5. Hey Hey, we're the MONKEES Monk (TV detective and wingnut) Alvin and the Chipmunks
  6. Henry Hill Jimmy "The Gent" Conway Tommy DeVito
  7. Maybe listening to Ornette too much, but I thought I detected some Ornette-isms in Lacy's playing, just a bit of harmolodics.
  8. Sounds great. Hopefully some U.S. tour dates will be in the offing.
  9. Arnold Schwarzenegger Pig Pen Pigmeat Markham
  10. Tom Thumb Rollie Fingers Learned Hand
  11. That might have been the first Blue Note album I ever bought, back in 1976. That was a good start! Staying with Ornette: MOPDTK spoofed the cover, but I still like the original.
  12. Donald Byrd: FUEGO. With Jackie McLean, Duke Pearson, Doug Watkins, Lex Humphries. What a soulful album! Love Jackie here. BN 4026.
  13. Continuing the mini-Ornette festival:
  14. Sorry to hear about what happened to you Fass. It's traumatic, so wait a few days to figure out where to go on this. I doubt you will get much satisfaction from the CCRB. They get tons of these complaints. They are going to spend more time on those complaints where someone was seriously harmed or there is an indication of corruption or felonious conduct. The CCRB is also likely to want to see what happens when you go to court. If the judge rules against you, they will probably not pursue it. The court appearance should be your first concern. You should try to get some help with your case. The officer will have to testify. Don't expect the other officers to side with you, however nice they were. Officers stick together; first rule of blue. You need to prevail on the facts if you can. It occurs to me that as the middle class starts dropping economically, they will experience what minorities and the poor have long known: the cop isn't always your friend. I still believe many cops are good people, who uphold their responsibilities fairly, and do risk (and sometimes give) their lives. However, as Fass found it, you can find yourself marked a criminal amazingly fast.
  15. Cary Grant Joyce Cary Mr. Ed
  16. Spending time with Ornette.
  17. Omar Sosa Sammy Sosa Corky and Company
  18. Ken "The Snake" Stabler Kenny (Killed in South Park--over and over) Kenny G.
  19. Happy Birthday 7/4! I would put in a clip of a Morton Feldman's version of "Happy Birthday" but it runs 6 hours . Anyway, enjoy your special day
  20. A couple of LPs I haven't listened to in a while: Harold Land: CHOMA. Mainstream. Gil Melle: GILLE's GUESTS. OJC.
  21. Nathan Zuckerman Portnoy Roth
  22. Mot of the shows I've been to (and I've been to quite a few) start late. The others start only a little bit late . Doesn't really bother me unless it's a Sunday might and I have to work the next date (which means a 6:00AM or 6:30AM wake-up). I start fretting and fuming, but once the music starts, everything gets right. A couple of brews helps too!
  23. Nice story Pete. I grew up in Astoria, Queens, in a very similar neighborhood. Holten's was out candy/soda joint. Good times. Brooklyn Dodgers Rodger Dodger Artful Dodger
  24. Ben-Fiore Walker (City of Alexandria Town Crier) Alfred Kazin (A Walker in the City) Elia Kazan (sang then cried)
  25. SONORE: CAFE OTO/LONDON. Trost LP. Brotzmann/ Vandermark/ Gustafsson
