I have read the memoir....40 or so years ago. Yikes!

Not exactly a common date... The OG: 16 2/3 RPM!!!! So what was Hawes doing in the East?

What about that Curtis Fuller Prestige record with Hawes?

Same

Was Keepnews involved in that?

GOAT!!!!

This, and I will add Bud as another contributatory influence on Hawes. Plus, I think that Bud and Tatum are closer than Hawes and Newborn. Those two paths continued to diverge. That church thing came to play. Some people are REALLY fond of the David Axelrod stuff, but ..not me. Yet there it is

The band with Jerry Jeff Walker? That's crazy!

Long tones...always and forever.

I transitioned from Beatles-to-Henrix-to-Zappa with random but meaningful bumpings into Soul (which was a whole other story...) It was a window in time...jazz-rock was about to become fusion (but had not yet), the big bands were still going (on all guides), the avant-garde was rapidly evolving. Europe was teeming with Americans and natives clicking decoratively and together, and most importantly...so many major voices were still alive, gigging, and recording. And the reissues were just beginning to get rolling! I like to use Wayne Shorter to illustrate - just about a year in. I knew of Wayne from records by Blakey, Miles, and Weather Report. I was too dumb to realize that it was not basically all the same person. Silly me.

But some of the Pablo box is mislabelled! Some is actually from Birdland?

It was 1971 when I started listening to jazzes, and a little bit of everything was out there, and that was what I liked. That turned into a lot of everything. Stories about people places and things real or not worlds known and unknown. I have few complaints about that, and there's still more and other musics, some are quite engaging!

Narcissism (or the appearance thereof) is not political in and of itself.
