Here is brother Pat with that other crazy cartoon character:

Now that I think of it, Thad Jones' "A Child Is Born" might work very well.

Ron's playing on those Cedar Walton Sweet Basil recordings are the best!

At a recording session Ron was being asked questions by someone while he was getting things together and setting up when the fellow said: "Ron, can I help you; are you looking for something?". Ron said; " YES, SOME PRIVACY!"

After her death, Pannonica Rothschild de Koenigswarter's son sent the car back to Bentley for a full restoration; every repair record for this car as well as the original bill of sale will be made available to the buyer. One of the more famous Continentals was ordered by the ex-Baroness Pannonica Rothschild de Koenigswarter, great-great-granddaughter of the celebrated banker Nathan Mayer Rothschild. The baroness owned a number of Rolls Royce and Bentley cars, but the car she loved most was a 1957 Bentley S1 Continental Drophead Coupe, which came to be known as the Be-Bop Bentley. That's because the baroness became a huge patron of jazz in New York in the late 1950s and '60s, and her car was often seen parked outside of jazz clubs such as Birdland, Smalls and the Village Vanguard and was often used to ferry musicians throughout the city. A picture of the car was published in the Time magazine cover story on Thelonious Monk and Be-Bop jazz in February 1964, and Monk, as well as Charlie Parker devoted several compositions to de Koenigswarter. --Michael Frank Forbes Fact The Be-Bop Bentley is exceedingly rare; of the 94 S1s built by Park Ward, only 31 were built in left-hand drive configuration. This car will be auctioned by Christie's in Tarrytown, N.Y., at the Lyndhurst Estate on April 28 for an estimated price of between $200,000 and $250,000. For more information, contact Christie's at (212) 636-2277. --M.F.

Please do, because I have been paying attention to all of the above (including the edited-out-of-the-quote Branford, and I'm not excited. Entertained in varying degrees, yes, but excited? Nah, not even a little. And I live to be excited. So what am I missing? I can agree with you, Jim. All of the above , for example, would be better off with some self editing to better make their musical points. Do they really need to make 70 minute recordings? To each his own, but I dig a little more heart and soul myself.

I have a nice George Coleman cd that was recorded at Ronnies that has Peter King on it. Peter King

i remember a guy who, up until recently, used to sell tapes in front of the blue note in nyc. Yea, a drummer. I don't remember his name; a Muslim name. They are boots of a record he made for a label. I do remember Betty Carter selling her records at a gig (Fat Tuesday's)

Best Regards, Jim.

Don't know if this is on cd but the opener, "Disaproachment" is a blast!

He may have been a jazz fan. I was the Vanguard once while Dexter Gordon was there and he had the next table.

OK Chewy....later I'll tell you the somewhat infamous Maynard Ferguson / Harry Abraham ( WHAM - 50,00 clear AM Watts) story. Here is Harry's intro to his show. I think that's Yuseff Lateef. Best of all Possible Worlds

It in the ASCAP database under: COREA ARMANDO ANTHONY It seems that Chick is also a BMI publisher too, but that song " Chick" is not in their database.

Look here: Chick Corea Disco.

After all of the positive responses, I'll have to listen to this again. Around the time I bought this Glass Bead Games was available also, and that one stayed on my turntable for quite a while!

Happy Bithday O' Keeper of the Flame!

Nasar Abadey. Great guy and drummer. I knew his cousin Boyd Lee Dunlop and saw Nasar earlier this year in Baltimore.
