Thanks for the article and information.

The local goverment is the lead agency that call for a evacuation; in this case the City, I believe. Anyone who lives in South Flordia can confim that. There is enough blame to go around here for every person in authority.

Good Luck and Good Health, David.

This was one of worst Francis Davis articles I've read. Nothing wrong with FD in general, I have his books, but this one made my skin crawl with some very uninspired writing. I expect better; I think he needs a vacation in California. The lame recording suggestions at the end was the last straw. Do you think he's looking for a producer's gig?

The Ebay seller is from South America. I'm guessing that some LPs that they see are like the old Fontana and BYG labels that were made of a thiner material.

(CNN) -- Rock 'n' roll pioneer Fats Domino was among the thousands of New Orleans residents plucked from rising floodwaters, his daughter said Thursday. Karen Domino White, who lives in New Jersey, identified her father in a picture taken Monday night by a New Orleans Times-Picayune photographer. The photograph shows Domino -- the singer behind the 1950s hits "Ain't That a Shame" and "Blueberry Hill" -- being helped off a boat near his home in the city's Lower 9th Ward. His whereabouts since the rescue were not immediately known. Nor was there any information about his wife, Rosemary, friends said. The neighborhood was heavily flooded when a levee failed as Katrina slammed into southeastern Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Thousands are feared dead in the storm, Louisiana's governor and the mayor of New Orleans have said, though no official tally has been compiled. White said she last heard from her father August 23, four days before the storm hit, and was unable to contact him Sunday. "I didn't have any information. I was just praying," she said. Writer Charles Amann said he last spoke to Domino on Sunday, and the singer refused to join the evacuation that was then under way. "He said to me, in that wonderful Southern accent of his, that no, he was staying on -- that he had gone through the last one and he could go through this one," said Amann, who is working on a book on the early days of the "American Bandstand" television program. Many of those evacuated from the Lower 9th Ward were taken to the Louisiana Superdome and are being transferred to the Astrodome sports stadium in Houston, Texas. Alan Warner, an EMI Music executive, also saw the photograph of Domino's rescue. But he said he did not know where the 77-year-old singer, born Antoine Domino, was taken afterward. "But the fact that he actually was rescued is just so gratifying," Warner said.

Chuck - That looks a bit like a latter Maxfield Parrish; is it? Here's mine:

This recording has a different history. The concert was a fund raiser for the charity and recorded on the fly, not intended for release. When the company heard the tapes, it was decided that it would make a good, inexpensive release and everybody was paid a very nominal fee; although I don't know about Wynton's fee. There was some negotiation needed to get the releases from the sidemen because some, rightfully so, wanted more money for the recording. They has already, don't forget, donated their time for the original concert, including Wynton. That said, it's supposed to be a nice little recording.

Noted, Mike.

A slight correction, Jack. Joe Newman is on Main Stem. I used to have it on vinyl but traded it in. Although it is good, it's not great. OLIVER NELSON with JOE NEWMAN Main Stem OJCCD-1803-2 (Prestige 7236) Oliver Nelson (1932-75) was justly celebrated and well rewarded for his writing and arranging for orchestras, films, and television. Because his gifts in these areas abounded, Nelson's abilities on tenor saxophone tended to be overlooked. At home beside dauntless avant-gardist Eric Dolphy or R&B boss King Curtis, Nelson could wail and stomp with equally expressive power. The saxophonist's front-line partner here, longtime Basie-ite Joe Newman, is a sterling modern mainstreamer who is particularly adept with the mute in his horn, while the rhythm section, keyed by the perennially graceful Hank Jones, and spiced by Ray Barretto's congas, brings added luster to this sparkling affair.

This is trumpeter David Weiss' gig, who is the groups weakest link.

Here is a nice article and interview of Charles from Mark Stryker of The Detroit Free Press: Charles McPherson

What's a 'Peaches' record crate? Anything to do with The Stranglers? ← The Peaches record chain. They were all over Miami when I lived there and they sold "peach" crates for LP storage.

It is now, and has been for a long, long time, a practice to add a Miles Davis recording to your collection as your token jazz record. In the late 50's it might have been a Prestige with My Funny Valentine. A little latter it might have been Sketches Of Spain or Kind of Blue. In the mid 60's maybe My Funny Valentine or Four and More; maybe Miles Smiles. If you really thought you were hip and slick, in '68 it might have been Nefertiti. A hip Hippie would buy Bitches Brew. ( Don't forget he would have heard it on underground radio. I remember hearing a different side each night. You know, they played Wednesday on Wednesdday, Thursday on etc.) And on and on...... All of those single, one time, purchases, add up. All of this popularity stems from his legend and press starting from the Newport "discovery" and the Columbia machine. And oh..... Miles was a talented and riveting artist and performer who delivered. Although I don't like any of his post retirement music at all.

One last thing about Lee Michaels & Frosty: That drum part was so hip and slick that I think when Frosty was gone.....so was Lee!

Frosty Smith

Frosty, the drummer: Ticket from the Filmore East:

I've never heard it, Mike. I saw it here: Jarrett Bootlegs

Now I've got the Heebie Jeebies, Chuck!

Thanks Mike for the above observation. The other aspect of the Adderley Brothers chemestry, and one that is important to their sound and appeal, is rhythmic. Their time is so in sink, that together they create a new "insrtument" altogether. A good example is: "Jessica's Birthday" from Jazz Workshop Revisited
