  1. wait hold on back up like ten steps: you were the inspiration of one of rodneys classic one liners? very impressive my guy. So you were not in the gerald wilson big band, but you were in another studio band, that was on his show one time?
  2. with that headline, i click. this is out of control which redd foxx show was this on exactly- was this a '78 TV special-
  3. so were talkin now look ok i only know this guy from my ESP sampler lp. (great idea btw) but i did meet this bussiness dawg downtown years ago i mentioned in what are you doing today talk, i said seeing phaorah sanders or something like that and hes all, oh thats cool my dad was in his scene in the late 60s ny, also tenor saxohone and im all : and it turns out his dad is the sax player on the burton album, frank smith. The guy was the one person i ever met downdown who said something that wasnt BS. He said his dad was a dawg and im all "okay now" but then hes on my esp sampler record on the burton greene tracks next to sun ra, phaorah, steve lacy and bob james
  4. sounds awesome back in the day- looked up that place, and now its been redone as a super trendy fancy place
  5. wait theres a legend of a Buddy Bolden cylinder? Is it supposed to be a privately recorded one, not a commerical one? tell me more! and Rabshakeh I hope you can have the chance to save it- with a new stylus, the last advancement on edisons original design- it will sound better than the day they bought it omg... https://blogs.loc.gov/now-see-hear/2014/11/the-elusive-buddy-bolden/ so it sounds like it might of existed at one point but was thrown away. typical.
  6. and he HATED jazz and blues- he said jazz sounds the same backwards as it does forwards. it first only got recorded when he was on vacation and wasnt around to approve discs- and later when his sons took over the phonograph divison edison strongly prerered recording the 1800s style parlor music of his youth
  7. lolz, that would be a lot of cylinders not yet but im very much in the market for a crazy deal. Theres one lady i might pitch to but i still have to wait a few months at this point for disposable income to appear. And she'd have to knock two off and bring it closer to one at that- but the thing is its a tabletop model so its not taking up space like the Schubert was, the immediate need to have it out isnt there as much. Her price is in the "fair" range, shes not a monster. A lot of these people think they have the hope diamond and charging 10x value. Truth is you cant give these things away outside of the small crazy Edison collector subset, which is only slowly growing and rapidly declining. And my dawg the edisons are 80s!!!! Only the very last ones in 1929 were switched to 78.8 to match the edison needle types, at which point edison dealers were told to have their customers set their players at 79, as a happy medium between the old and the new.....
  8. hmm- its not on the 2 volumes of Ellington / cotton club '38 i have on Jazz Archives label.....
  9. thanks so much everybody, you guys know how much i crave the "likes" my god, i didnt think so, but i did a DAHR database search for composer credits and lo and behold, heres the only Duke related item-- a composer co-credit- i must find this now. is this a very well known ellington song of the time/recorded by him etc-
  10. good tribute page my guy!
  11. did everybody see my latest disc video? Take C- i like it better than take A. Now just need take B to complete the series... * oh and a better copy of A, i have a gouge in the first grooves, i need a better "A" too
  12. sounds like youre on track but they are still complete bastards.
  13. Take C!!!!! 🎶🎶🎶🎶👣👣👣👣👣💃
  14. theres another later companion cover i believe a johnny hammond smith lp- like that
  15. whoa thats the original "far away lands" the art famer mosaic single, wow
  16. wouldn't RVG have a freakout if he caught him poundin a cone in there--- my second thought....no wonder those sessions are so good.......
  17. theres a disocgs main page article today about the inflated prices and also we have to consider at this point it might be money laundering as well, the radio forum people are abosolutely convinced people are laundering through the rediculous inflated prices of certain vacuum tubes i just got a crazy deal on "succotash"- probably your best bet at this point for it
  18. hope he gets well soon
  19. glad you liked it!!!!!!!!!!! got the speed exactly at 80 now
  20. this is how jelly i am
