I'd go first for the three things Giuffre arranged for Hal McKusick's Cross Section - Saxes, "Sing Song", "Yesterdays", and especially "It never entered my mind". There is a Japanese reissue of this album, and "It never entered..." is also in "Now's The Time" (GRP, now OOP) F Thanks, I will be looking. Bill It has also been re-issued on vinyl, and is still available here and there. Bill

I am not that familiar with McKusick, but from a quick scan of AMG it looks like "Jazz Workshop" is the place to start for some McKusick/Giuffre, or not? Bill

I was not aware of the Talks and Plays (I am assuming this is the same as "Riverstation") untill last night, I will have to add that to my wish list. I am also trying to find the my ultimate copy of The Jimmy Giuffre Clarinet. I have two copies of the the original black label Atlantic and even a copy of the jazzlore edition. It is just one of those recordings that the little pops and clicks start to bug me. I have read that the Collectables Jazz Classics CD may not really be an improvement. The japanese pressings I have are fantastic, but I have never seen a japanese pressing of the Clarinet lp. Trav'lin Light is now spinning with The Three & The Two next in line.

I would also love to know about any additional written information on Mr. Giuffre. I am familiar with the chapter in Ted Giola's West Coast Jazz, the Rex Butters Cry Freedom article as well all the little mini bios that can be found with a basic google search. Last night I found this article, which is the only long format interview I have been able to chase down. Thanks, Bill

I have been having a mini Jimmy Giuffre marathon on the turntable tonight, Free Fall, 1961, The Jimmy Giuffre Clarinet and Western Suite is spining right now. I have always been a sucker for the clarinet, but there is something about his tone and the sparse thoughtful pace that just sucks me in. I know that he has been battling Parkinsons for some time now, does anybody know how he is doing? Bill

Thanks for the information and opinion. I think we will look into some singing lessons. Singing is something she already loves and I worry about her getting too frustrated with an instrument that requires a long learning curve. I agree that kids are different and what is helpful for some is not for others. Trying your best to find a teaching/education style that matches your kid is really all you can do. Thanks again, Bill

We had a neighbors cat stuck in our basement for a week, un-friendly neighbors and an un-friendly cat. I ended up renting a racoon trap from the local rental place. We had our cat the next morning. Used outside with a little cat food you might catch every cat in the neighborhood, but you just open the door, let'em out, no harm no foul. Bill
