I know, I know. (So is Pharoah.) I really must get back into Ayler sometime. So you know which I DID choose

Who are you talking to?

[Scott Dolan]

Douchebag, obviously.

at least he didn't call 'em a fuckwad.

I'm thinking Jim should start a new forum called The Short Bus.

yah, i was the other way-- & since I internalized the bulk of Albert & Farrell decades ago, I'm following the Gator line now... & they are REALLY close. In terms of "progress," "social shift" Albert's

"more important" but as musicians...

There was a big OJC sale here recently so Titania hooked me up with--

** Soul Night Live &

** Together Again!

two-fers, as well as the Billy Butler, Bill Jennings Acid Jazz volumes & Johnny 'Hammond' Smith Opus de Funk.

belated thanks for Fantasy for doing original lp cover repros, even if they are a little small. curiously, some of their swing & hard-bop two-fers do NOT extend us same courtesy (Taft Jordan & Harold Mabern come to mind.)

Those are great Gators but, if you're loking for REAL Gator Tail Prestiges, the two to GET (that Fantasy reissued) are

Thunderbird - with Freddie Roach replacing McDuff - this is on "Keep on a blowin'" PRCD24218

Loose - the follow-up, with Carl Wilson replacing Roach - this is on "After hours" (minus one explosive track) PRPRCD24294 - or you can look for the LP - the other LP on "After hours" isn't one of his good 'uns.

Of the material not available on CD (and probably never more to be)

Swivelhips - with Jackie Ivory on organ (though he's not as good on this as on his own LP)

Star bag - with Trudi Pitts - Gator really makes her do what she normally doesn't - SWING like fuck!

ANYTHING on Muse
