Man with the Golden Arm

Was Winwood something like 17 when they recorded the first SDG hits? One helluva garage band!

Yes Alanzo for certain! I've only watched a handful and missed the last one and aces for the gal from Cleveland!! easy po easy for sure... she'll be getting a gig on prime time via all this I betcha! She's just gotta give up the tired Italian / Mafia schtick and she's there! Other funniest is that sort of droll guy who's name I can't remember and the least funny is the tall guy from Boston who always starts out with how tall he is, and sheesh he ain't even that tall?! One of my favorites jokes so far was from that 'cro-magnon' Steven Wright: "I had alphabet soup last nite and this morning I had a vowel movent." a keeper!

answers? we don't need no steeenkink answers... yet! but how about some clues ... esp on 4 and 10??? and maybe pointing us to who might be barking down the alley.

Curious if ya'll might wax a bit about the pianist from track #5 - Luiz Carlos Vinhas! Just a tremedous sound. I have only experienced one of the Bossa Tres albums - "Em Forma" (& not that I'm a big acid jazzer, but I even hear the root of a sample from them used by the group United Future Organization that I just always assumed was Blakey and the Mssngrs) - and am just knocked out by his style. A Silver schooled head with the hammerin' hands of Tristano. I know JimR has recommended the group within his Hard Bossa thread but I need more of this guy!!!

and read the MMW release coming in a month ... there are even folks from the "axeees of eeephil" that have heard it already!!!! blue note is slowing catching on the the "Dusty Groove meets Thom Jurek at Downtown Music Gallery" novellas.

guess that's flippin the bird in ape sign!

hit me up doc! mail sent

"Swift-boat veterans for Anita Hill" !!!!

then you'd be the "waif".

so, to the ears in the know - what's the comparison / advantage of the Victor VICJ issues to our domestic K-2s?? thanks

I FOUND A LITTLE SNIP OF ARIC AND MARY UP AT THE MOTEL!

Perused this too at one time. You must have a valid bank or credit card issued to that specific country to buy.

Up. So Marcus sends discs around the globe and so far only fifteen folks care to have a go? Or has it all been figured out? #10, #10, #10 ... and 2 / 6 / 8 / 9 / 13

Just my ducats. I think "Judgement" is at the very top of my heap. You must take the piece as a whole for the absolute beauty between Hill and Hutcherson. (and that piece should be w/o question the new JRVG+ version as the TOCJ just was not up to snuff. It was sooo audibly low (while almost too much so) that the increased boost via the jRVG treatment really sets that one apart. Crisp and clean w/o the shrillness as usual w/ those.) SmokeStack is a whole other ballgame.

and what's she doing messin' with just Vili... I'm figuring she'd go more for the Fauve!!! Then again reading her literacy challenged letter snips makes me wonder why she was put in a teaching position in the first place.

... and it sounds like she caught quite a nasty Nabo-cough in the cooler.

Where'd you see this? it was right on the right in the vault main page within iTunes. as I could not cut and paste and was too lazy to type verbatim but it tells us that you better hurry!!!! kind of like those limited edition connoissuer series things.

WOW!

Noh, now I'm in love!

since when is such a mad hatter party "too out there" for you?! Are you in love or something? All of a sudden salivating over the Loussier and declining the gathering behind the Kaempfert residence as too weird for comfort. I wasn't really salivating was I. And the only "Kaempferts" I've heard were from Blazing Saddles.

I see the disclaimer on iTunes sez that a new batch is coming in two weeks and mor added every month but these are for a "limited time only"

Dang. Just go to Boss Bird from Quincy's '..Bag' or Soul Sister from Lateef's ''84' or Desmond's lady in Cement from 'Summertime' and tell me you can't resist.

So # 12 is just that. Sheesh. I have been curious about this elusive work after having read recent threads and see that he has redone these pieces. So who is playing that Burrellish guitar line? And the strings?? I enjoy Lalo immensely and would love to know more of that groove he's got here, so Lalo! but this set up is a bit too out there with all the goings on. Visual music to be certain. A Peter Sellers garden party or Carl Stallings for a pack of closeted tea totalers. Does segue nicley from the Satie previously.

This Hard Bossa and the Nova thread are just essentials of the BB. Thanks, Jim et al!!(and due for their own column heading as for all things 'wordly') So up for some more fine discussion after that nice list posted above. With Marcus' BFT circulating just now and the fact that I have yet to remove my new (one ond only so far) Bossa Tres "Em Forma!" from my auto for the past week I'm curiousor for more. So I'll just to toss out another list for discussing amongst the most knowledgables: J.T. Meirelles and Os Copa 5 from the BFT!! Mario Castro Neves Os Cobras and more on Bossa Tres - that Luiz Carlos Vinhas... what a badasss!

As usual the sign-up threads seem to be hotter than the discussions. Give it up for Marcus for tossing a bunch of discs around the globe rather than oogling what's down by the sea (oh wait it's the middle of winter so he's just taking a snow shoveling break). Stumped all along!!! 1.) Knew this would start with a bit of Bahian rhythms. Is that what he's saying? A bit too in the new for me as far as the wonderful production goes. I usually draw a line at the elctric piano so I'm not going in for this one right off the bat. 2.) No clue here. Beautifully recorded and engineered piece, but the sound alone has me. Not sure if this would be up my alley for long, but very nice. 3.) Clueless, again. 4.) No points for me for having no idea what this Parker tune is. I like this though. Sonically the opposite of #2. 5.) Now were back to somethin' with a Brazilian attitude! I do like this cut best so far Seems to go nicely with the heat of the day. Thinking it's not someone from the homeland there but a stateside date. Has a bit of that fast Silver Henderson root. 6.) Didn't feel this coming next. What a bouncer. Has that later Milt on Pablo feeling to me. But can't be that after hearing the horn come in again. Gotta be the saxist's date as that piano is too far (don't stay outside, c'mon in) away for a Pablo. 7.) Out on a limb but sounds a bit like Fritz from Pittsburgh. Again sonically beautiful in the way of the DDD stuff that he was all over in the later eighties. Has so much that Crosby bass. Should know this tune from Digital Works or Rossiter Road era. 8.) Man I should know this one... this one will be nailed fast and I will wait it out. 9.) "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that electric bass a wah-wah-ing". 10.) Huge TUNE! This is my favorite on this test now bar none. Some garage band duo with a great set up just showing off so beautifully! This has got that swingg!!! :tup 11.) SMCOT ... "sonata my cup of tea". No, really, absolutely, pristinely beautiful. 12.) Awaiting Bluto Blutarski to give that greensleeving minstral one over the head and then the thing grooves into some Silver-esque vamp like Horace walked into the Globe Theatre on the wrong cue. Is this from some Brazilan cartoon? Wacky!!! 13.) Another big ol' bass. This is nice!!! Goes well with #5 and something cool to drink. 14.) Sort of caps this test with a very signature sound that has been going on all along. Eager to hear who all we've been listening to. Gotta be a theme here in the bass, no? 15.) No clue... figuring Marcus would leave us with this bit of Brazil... not white enough for Chris Connor and not Nancy, or Carmen Lundy or Shirley Horn, and not Braziliany enough for a funky Tania Maria or Lani Hall? stumped again as for most of this one! Thanks Marcus for all! The first time through not much grabbed me as I was put off a bit by the very subtle "electric" sound of it all. I'm feeling much better after another go round as there is some really, really fine music here that was thoughtfully and lovingly put together. Will look forward to reading all the postings as the days roll on.
