I think Dexter by and large may have found ways to manage his intake. I had a longish conversation with him in his Chicago hotel suite after "'Round Midnight" came out, and he was perfectly lucid and quite witty. OTOH, while we talked Maxine, upset about something, was slamming things around in the bedroom. I got up to leave and Dexter said, "Sit DOWN." The conversation continued. That's the one where Dexter said of Hank Mobley, "Ah yes, the Hankenstein -- He was SO hip." Also, admiringly, of Lockjaw Davis, "Damn -- that Jaws plays backwards."

Heroin, I'm pretty sure. Don't think that weed qualifies as "bebop ablutions."

I saw Dexter live fairly often and don't recall a time when he noticeably faltered/was in bad shape. I do recall one time when Ira Gitler, who was present, said that Dexter had gone backstage to perform his "bebop ablutions" (i.e. get high).

Speaking of the record cover, the kid in that futuristic car is John Koenig, Lester Koenig's son and destined to be a record producer himself.

Has Duane Tatro's "Jazz For Moderns" (OJC, originally Contemporary) cropped on your radar screen before? Fascinating music IMO with an arguable space age vibe, if I understand what that means. Fine West coast lineup: Lennie Niehaus, Joe Maini, Shelly Manne, Ralph Pena, Jimmy Giuffre, Joe Egar, Vince DeRosa, Bill Holman, et al.

I agree.

Some of Claude Frank's Beethoven sonata set, Yves Nat's Op. 110, and Konwitschny's Leipzig Beethoven 7th.

Shavers on Coleman Hawkins' "Hawk Eyes"!! And on the Singer album too, at least for me, though your problem there may be more with RVG.

DON REDMAN AT THE SWING CATS BALL · FEATURING COLEMAN HAWKINS Looks intriguing, and some tracks sound promising while others sound cheesy.

Had an interesting encounter with Spaulding, probably in the '80s. I went to hear a David Murray-led ensemble in NYC at the Blue Note, with Spauling in the band and Ralph Peterson thundering away on drums. Afterwards, I went up to Spaulding, introduced myself, and mentioned a review I'd written some fifteen years years before of an excellent Freddie Hubbard quintet (with Spaulding, Kenny Barron, Junie Booth and I don't recall who on drums) that was appearing at Ahmad Jamal's short-lived Chicago club the Tejar, and that included (the review, that is) a paragraph extolling James' virtues. He proceeded to quote what I'd said about him back then virtually word for word. I found this touching but also a bit sad, as though he had preserved those words in his memory all those years because similar words of praise seldom had come his way.

Love this balls-to-the-wall record. There's nothing else quite like it. Its would-be successor Salim's "Bliues Suite" is not up to the same level IIRC.

I paid $3.98 for the original LP, but the cover was worth it.

Don't know. Never saw the film.

I would have thought that "No Sun in Venice," for one, was the work of a real composer. It's more memorable than anything Gunther ever wrote.

Me too, after the Horenstein. I now have many Simpson CDs but less than your 19 I'm sure. I also have his terrific book on Bruckner.

Thanks, Chuck.

Here's a great track from the "New Orleans Playing Away Jazz"" album, Albert Wynn's "Parkway Stomp," with Punch Miller on cornet (and Lester Boone is no slouch, nor is Alex Hill).

Albert Stinson's solo on "My Joy" is from another planet.

What I meant to post is: Found this compilation yesterday, the awkwardly titled "New Orleans Playing Away Jazz" -- New Orleans musicians recorded elslewhere. Includes Kid Ory's first recording "Ory's Creole Trombone "with Spike's Seven Pods of Pepper from 1922; two from the Red Onion Jazz Babies (1924) including the gorgeous "Santa Claus Blues,:" a duet "Tom Kat" with King Oliver and Jelly Roll Morton (both in fine form); "That Creole Band" from Albert Wynn's Gut Bucket Five, with fine work from Barney Bigard (1926) and much much more. The quality and sheer variety of this music is something else! P.S. I have doubts that "Tom Kat" is what the album says it is.

Love that album.

Don't see Slosberg in the personnel. Seems to be just Reed, Marx, Frigo on bass, and drummer Sol Gubin. The great classical and movie-dubbing singer Marni Nixon (e.g for Audrey Hepburn in "My Fair Lady" and Natalie Wood in "West Side Story") was married to film composer Ernest Gold ("Exodus"). Their son was singer-songwriter Andrew Gold.

Yes, I have a copy of "Basic Reeding."

Dick Buckley had a huge effect on my jazz youth, so to speak. From seventh grade on I'd listen to him almost every night, which broadened my tastes a great deal. Dick played good jazz from all eras.

Bought it when it came out. Have always loved it. Gorgeous Joe Wilder. Talbert's later albums are fine too, but this one is tops.

Very well recorded.
