Trick or Treat!!!! TRACK ONE - There's the Elvin in there. And perhaps McCoy as well? I'd be shocked if I don't have this record, but having it and knowing it are two different things....that's the RVG piano sound, tho, so that narrows it down, right? LOL. Not bad, but a little abbreviated, and the bari-heavy intro has just a teence of Ra to it. First time thru, I was halfway expecting it to be a soundtrack cut! TRACK TWO - Definitely a Billy Bang joint, but god, there's so many of them, where to begin? This one is a bit more focused than some, and Bang joints are always better with focus. A LOT of that is coming from the rhythm section. Alto player sounds old...perhaps not in a good way? But maybe so? TRACK THREE - Of its time, in a good way. Everybody came to play, and they did. Helluva tenor player goin' on in there! A lot of influence, but no outright imitation, so yeah. WHOA on this trumpet! WHOA on everybody!!! TRACK FOUR - Sounds a lot like early Threadgill Sextet. I love this stuff. The only thing is....no trumpet? Or is there? No matter, this one works for me. TRACK FIVE - Mingus, "Son With Orange", from Mingus Dynasty - the OTHER 1959 Columbia Mingus album. Perhaps highly underrated? TRACK SIX - No idea. It's ok, not crazy about the tenor player's tone, it's almost a lot of things....I suppose they all mean well, right? TRACK SEVEN - "Cherokee", faster than fuck, although the pianist is resisting the temptation to go there right away. Gotta be Max on drums? Not necessarily distinct, but kudos for hanging in there on that tempo! Max is on of the few who can hold that tempo that high and make it sound like as leidurly stoll. Is that Mingus? So....a Debut record? Couldn't tell you who, but those guys and that tempo....seriously badass. TRACK EIGHT - That tenor player....whoa....virtuosity AND inventiveness working hand in hand. Always pleasing! Oh yeah, taste as well, none of the Brecker-school forced "intensity". No idea who this is, but we got a winner here. TRACK NINE - "Chelsea Bridge", Osby or Coleman.''is that a recent Tyshawn Sorey record? If so, then that's Osby. I think I have it, and first listen was positive. Very focused and coherent, the form is intact and fluid at once, you can never NOT here the song. Wonderful! TRACK TEN - Unmistakably Paul Gonsalves. Unmistakably. Nuff said! TRACK ELEVEN - Unmistakably Walt Dickerson. Unmistakably. Nuff said! TRACK TWELVE - A bit somber, and maybe not the best thing to listen to while taking a break from baseball...but that's ok. A fun listen! Got any peanut M&Ms? 'chelseas Bridge", Osby or Coleman.

When he did the three throws to first thing, I figured the he was rattled and the wheels were going to come off. Saw that happen here and it's not the type of thing that is easily forgotten. But hey!

For a second, it looked like Adolis was reverting to Ranger form. Fortunately he got that out of his system in the nick of time.⁷ It was mostly a day for aces to ace. Love it when that happens.

Done.

OT rules are what's crazy. All that work and there's no winner, like a scrimmage.

Wow. A tie.

Sorry to hear this. He did good work. RIP

I was pleasantly surprised at how "non-commercial" this "commercial" music was.

Sounds like a nasty way to go Sad. RIP

My speed is usually good, but not always. I thought it was my phone and/or wifi getting wonky.

Maybe it doesn't always get to where it wants to get, but it often does. And when it misses, it's only usually just by a little. This one works:

Whispering is the source of Groovin High, and is indeed an old grumpy song. So hey...

Why did they make that look like a comedy record?

Who is that?

Harmonization code?

There was some of these a few years before: Etc.

The photos on some of those Historical Series albums are sometimes...unique!! He's a happy fella, ain't he now!!!

For Thom:

Sweet! I have this LP, which uses what looke a a shot from the same session:
