What a crazy game. That was Toronto's QB's first ever playoff game. Spent most of his life as a backup, all the way back to high school. So many interceptions, but not on him - on the Blue Bomber's experienced QB.
This and other Blue Note from the '40s that's now redundant for me that I'm going to send to my brother as soon as I finish writing something about it.
Lou made fun records in many styles, serious fun. And he brought Horace Silver and Grant Green to BN. IIRC he played on early recordings of both Round Midnight and Bags Groove. You could do comps of him doing R&B covers (and singing on them!) and playing Charlie Parker tunes and playing pretty on standards, and all 3 would be great.
My dad was a big Sellers fan, especially The Mouse That Roared and the Goon Show, so it's hard for me to separate that from my appreciation of Sellers. It's kind of odd because my dad wasn't like Sellers at all. very solid and stable.
I heard them on YouTube, not sure if they are still there. One track, "Blues For Mr. Tatum" IIRC, was pretty standard issue Blue Note boogaloo, not that there's anything wrong with that.
That's right, except it's 1968 not '63, I thought it was 5 tunes but it's 6 so I guess there's still one I haven't heard.
It was on vinyl as the 2nd LP on the twofer issue of The Procrastinator:
But it would be great to have it on its own, maybe as Untitled Boogaloo?
I'd love to see the bonus tracks from the CD of Sixth Sense on their own too - I've heard the other two tunes from that session and they are more than release quality, if not exactly a reve;ation.
It's 3 album length sessions and a shorty - the Straight No Filter session of 6/17/66 runs 3 tunes at 21:40 - adding the never issued outtake Curtis Fuller tune from Caddy For Daddy would presumably get it up to full-ish length, although I have no idea exactly how long or how good that performance is.
Given that Kenny played with Cedar for Prestige in '67 and that many former Blue Note artists recorded for Prestige, I'm kind of surprised he didn't do anything as a leader for them after he left Prestige...
