marcello

The correct term would not be "particle board" but Oriented Strand Board (OSB), which has layers of chips (strands) that are oriented in oppisite directions in each layer. Each layer is infused with glue and then sandwiched togeter under pressure and heat to make a sheet. No gaps and very strong. We use OSB products in our houses.

Roulette 4077 – Austin Cromer – I Think Of You / On One Finger Of One Hand – 1958 With Birks: Over the Rainbow

Almost anything where Bu gets into that deep groove.

I found this: Austin Cromer, an enormously powerful singer, who was a member of The Ravens in the middle 'fifties, sang and recorded with Dizzy Gillespie in 1956-57, was rediscovered by Atlantic Records working on a labor crew in Columbus in 1965, released a solo album, then "disappeared". Is there any truth to the rumor he had to quit singing because of a broken jaw?

Bill Bruford was at Iridum this week with Tim Garland. Didn't see it, but I love Tim Garland, who is a fantastic player and composer.

I guessing that you didn't grow up with a piano in the house for entertainment. Pre- television Americian homes, like the one I grew up in, had a piano that people gathered around and sing songs. Even after television that kind of fun was still popular. My Mother played in a nice barrelhouse style. Those Sing A Long records, and the T.V. Show were based on that kind of entertainment. I remember seeing that program and my people happily singing along.

I saw Grant Green with his funk group just before he died. It wasn't great. I like Solid though Chewey, and Airegin, with Blakey is great. On It Ain't Necessarily So, Grant and Bu lock in during Green's solo so deep, it's scary!

But Chuck, after all it's for educational purposes.

Well, once difference is that the poor schmuck who put all of blood, and money to owning a record store that stocks jazz made a couple of dollars!

Max Roach for your ass

There aren't many but Dena DeRose is one; Fay Claassen is another. Ms. Gambarini doesn't do it for me.

I only have this one, but it's great: George Adams SUITE FOR SWINGERS Horo 03 (LP) Recorded July 28, 1976 - Rome, Italy George Adams (ts), Don Pullen, (p), Dave Friessen (b), Danny Richmond (d), Alfonso Viera (perc) 1. Suite for Swingers 2. Blues by the River 3. Melodic Rhapsody

I have both ther original LP and the Collectables Jazz Classics cd that is coupled with Giants: The LP, of course sounds much better than the cd, but you might find this version of the cd sounding fine. I have a soft spot in my heart for this one with the first version of Olinga.

Things have changes a lot since the 70's. Youmustbe is spot on (outside of the personal jibe) in my expierence. As a producer,youmustbe has much current contact with the clubs and artists in NYC.

This is one of Wayne's non-typical recordings. I have it on LP. Maybe I should listen to it again. You may be right though, and it could find a new audience. Just not the one he has now!

Pete Turner is a Rochester Insitute of Technology alumnus, grew up in Rochester, and spent his early years hanging out in the clubs.

My Best Wishes!

This thread is is very worthy, Rooster. What's really great is that every one that has been mentioned has supierior music and performances. The 70th Birthday Concert is very good and has Wild Bill Davis on organ, but I prefer The Paris Concert myself. I also dig The Afro-Eurasian Eclipse.

Rocky like Rocky Marciano!

My bad. 'Now' was where I first heard "Hello To The Wind", and I had always just thought of it, "Slow Change", and "Now" as being McDaniels songs without even checking. 'Now' is another album I've been thinking of for AOTW - it's a unique experience with the Hutcherson/Land group, the McDaniels lyrics and vocals, and the great writing on "Hello To The Wind" and "Slow Change". Joe Locke has recorded Hello to the Wind on his State Of Soul cd with Mark Ledford on vocals.

Sure, if you can't hear it, what's the use? No problem with that or anyone else's expieriences. There have been many times, say at a recording studio, where I can't for life of me hear a defect or a difference in the sound that some musicians can.

I saw him once in the early 70's when he made the Main Act ( Savoy Brown) go on because he, Berry, refused to go on first. So everything started late and he finally went on for less than a hour with a pretty lame back up band. When the auditorium turned up the lights and cut is electirc power to try to make him stop his show because it was overtime, Chuck staged a protest march around the stage with the band following him. To avoid a riot in the face of this maniac, they turned the power on for one more song. This was during the time of his "My Ding- A -Ling" hit: MY DING-A-LING - 25/11/1972 4 weeks at #1 - 17 weeks on chart When I was a little biddy boy My grandmother bought me a cute little toy Silver bells hanging on a string She told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling Oh My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want you play with My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want you play with My Ding-A-Ling And then Mama took me to Grammar school But I stopped off in the Vestibule Everytime that bell would ring You'd catch me playing with my ding-a-ling My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want you play with My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want you play with My Ding-A-Ling Once I was climbing the garden wall, I slipped and had a terrible fall I fell so hard I heard bells ring, But held on to My ding-a-ling My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want you play with My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want you play with My Ding-A-Ling OnceI was swimming cross turtle creek Man them snappers all around my feet Sure was hard swimming cross that thing With both hands holding my dingalingaling My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want you play with My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want you play with My Ding-A-Ling Hmm this here song it ain't so bad The cutest little song you ever had And those of you who will not sing You must be playing with your own Ding-a-ling My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want you play with My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want you play with My Ding-A-Ling Your Ding-A-Ling Your Ding-A-Ling we saw you playing with your Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling everybody's ding I want to play with My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want to play with My Ding-A-Ling

Happy Birthday Chris, and many more to come. Tom
