...and the trail heats up again! Thanks!

I first stopped in there to see Eberhard Weber...'84 or '85 I think it was?

A darned good point!

I've come across scattered references to a 'Ronnie Scott w/the Ronnie Ball Trio' recording from 1951 but the trail then runs cold. Was there actually an LP?

I'm not being a wise guy here...but you might want to insert a 'was' in this section of the May 17, 1967 overview. <<<Cuscuna/Ruppli 2 lists f. as "Absolution" but when this material issued by Mosaic the title was listed as "Resolution." >>>

At this point, I'm thinking the exact same thing... The Pepper's a 100% go...as is the forthcoming Pacific Jazz Trio set with the Clare Fisher's and the Rowles material from 'Rare, But Well Done' and 'Pianists Galore'.

I assume the first of those tasks is charitable work, but how much does the second pay? I'll tell you all about it when you buy me lunch at The Monocle. I'll reserve the Kennedy's favorite table (#22) and you'll feel right at home! B-)

No, it's somewhere between Mr. Tanno's shop and my place!

this is something I seriously need to do too. Congratulations!! Aw, he's all talk! Just wait 'til he & Mrs. Ghost have a few kids and they start getting sitters to swing in so that they can have a night out to check the new Fahrenheit 911, Part 12. I'm sure she'll be happy to sit there all night flipping through National Geographic and a few old Mosaic catalogues.

I bet if he'd faced the prospect of putting back 60 bottles of some low carb, ultra lite brew he would have opted to go the human popsicle route.

Complaining about his aching liver & kidneys? .....what a sissy!

Make enemies in the political forum and attend alot of political functions swarming with hacks who've mastered the art of failing upwards! ** also provide technical grant review assistance to the feds. Just doing my bit to ensure that all of your hard earned tax dollars are wisely spent. B-)

The PJ one definitely hasn't but is still available in Japan on vinyl....the other one I'm not so sure about.

Pats. I hate these FL venues. Super Bowl teams should face off in deep chill outdoor stadiums up north w/flurries, etc...and not some Lemonade Bowl.

We don't need any more blacks, jews or wasps on board....we need bigger cats!

Oh yes...so sorry. Well in that case it would be Quebec's 'Might As Well Be Roller Rink Spring'.

The feedback that the buyer left seemed too low key. Had I snagged, sight unseen, a mint DG of Roll Call, I'd have been gushing like a fool. My guess is that it wasn't quite mint.

Chick Corea 'Circulus'

I'd be happy to have you ditch the USPS in favor of my own little private delivery service. My uniformed couriers are swift & easy to spot....they'll handle those JRVGs with utmost care. .03L tips appreciated.

Yes, I did just that after discovering -- several times over -- that Airborne folks seem to have an aversion to gently placing a box on the front steps.

The Mobley vinyl set..think it was in '98. I was going to be stuck at 50,000 feet when the bidding ended on eBay and I asked my wife to take charge and get it. She did.......a frightful bidding war...........it was ugly..........there were corpses all over the place......PBS is scheduled to air a 3-part mini-series about it.

Turns out this reviewer was at the same show. Guess I'd never make it as a reviewer 'cause lines like "carefully modulated emotional arc" just don't roll off that 'ol tongue of mine. The Washington Post Monday Jan. 24, 2005 Curtis Fuller Sextet Drummer Jimmy Cobb, a Washington native whose extraordinary résumé includes a landmark alliance with trumpeter Miles Davis in the late '50s, received a horn-powered 76th birthday salute from his band mates when he stepped onstage at Blues Alley on Friday night. But soon Cobb was back at work, balancing hard bop propulsion and finesse for the latest edition of the Curtis Fuller Sextet. The lighthearted bandleader and trombonist, who turned 70 last month, reminisced throughout the opening set and frequently alluded to some of his former employers (Art Blakey and Count Basie) and associates (Freddie Hubbard and Milt Jackson). Basie's legacy was celebrated with an effortlessly swinging version of "Good Bait," crisply driven by Cobb's ride cymbal and neatly punctuated by pianist John Hicks. Hubbard's "Up Jumped Spring," proved as buoyant as its title suggests -- a jazz waltz vibrantly colored by Fuller's trombone, Javon Jackson's tenor sax and Donvante McCoy's trumpet. The arrangements were often dotted with solos that contrasted Fuller's slippery phrasing with Jackson's imposing tone and McCoy's darting melodicism. Two of the highlights, however, were designed as showcases for members of the ensemble. Playing in a quartet setting, Jackson turned "Body and Soul" into a carefully modulated emotional arc, the tension slowly building and tapering off. Then Hicks, during a solo interlude, saluted Billy Strayhorn with a lovely and impressionistic medley of "Chelsea Bridge" and "Star-Crossed Lovers." McCoy and bassist Corcoran Holt, the youngsters in the band, were generously featured as well, and their input frequently jacked up the energy level and brought a big smile to Fuller's still youthful face. -- Mike Joyce

Sounds familiar as well. He had a whole lotta 'Quinxs' & 'Qcunzs' goin' on.

You're not talking about 'Quinx ( the Ripper's Tale)' by L. Durrell are you? pub. mid-80's or so?

Reading this post of yours makes me wonder about the "He?" in your second post in this thread. It's illogical.
