    Hank Mobley

    Then I'm guessing that you would really hate Tardo Hammer's cover of "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" in which he slips "Two Bass Hit" into the theme. Personally, first time I heard that, I laughed out loud.
  2. Just received an ebay win that turned out to be very pleasing, A Night at Count Basie's-The Funky Jazz of the Perri Lee Trio. I had no idea who this woman was but with Eddie Chamblee's jazz/R&B tenor I figured what the heck. Turns out that she was originally discovered by Dinah Washington and sang several tunes with Doris Day in "Pillow Talk". She's also on "Sonny Stitt and the Top Brass" As for her organ, she kind of comes out of the Wild Bill Davis "orchestral" style. Good tunes all the way through, with the highlight being a lengthy take on "Doodlin'" Anyone want to trade a copy of this for LD's Scorpion?
  3. Isn't that Teddy Edwards MetroJazz a live date with Joe Castro where one side was Sonny Rollins? I think the Teddy side got orphaned because the Rollins has been reissued, I'm told. I saw this up on ebay not too long ago though I let it pass by.
  4. Excuse me, but I never said Mny is or will be a child abuser. I said this: which somehow became "Mny and anyone who agrees with him is a child abuser." No one can tell me that people who rant and rave on sidelines are all failures who live through their kids. I'd say a good chunk of them have the exact same driven, hyper-competitive personalities that Mny openly admits to. Does this mean that Mny will do it? I have no idea. But I don't see what makes it an off-the-wall supposition. And I don't see where I accused him of child abuse.
  5. Thanks for posting this, B3-er.
  6. What would I possibly have to be jealous or insecure about? Your 1600 on the SAT? Your medical license? Those aren't my yardsticks, pal. ****************** Calling everything "life and death" is a healthy attitude for you or your kids? Making sure the other team "knows" it was beaten, "physically and mentally" is a healthy attitude to have or instill? Does anyone else find it funny how Dan seems to avoid everyone else that has agreed with me but has fixated on me as if no one else agreed with me in this thread? No mention of the 3-4 others who have agreed with me as being future child abusers. Only I am "privileged" to receive his personal attacks. What a classic case he is. By the way, no where did I say everything is life and death. First of all, it ought to be pretty damn obvious when I separate a comment directed at you with a line of *************** and then respond specifically to the statements of J Larsen and Jim Dye (no, I didn't actually name them) that I am not directing everything at you. Again, I think that's your bountiful ego speaking. Everything is about you. ********************************** As for your denial of your own words: You are contemptible. You know damn well what you wrote and what I quoted. Just because you have gone back and edited your posts doesn't mean you didn't say what you said. You're pathetic. Once again, here are your precise words: If that does not equate to "everything is life and death" what does it mean? And if you are saying that I imagined this quote than I must be pretty damn good to be smart enough to repeat your ever-present error of mistaking the contraction of "you are" with "your". And speaking of ongoing mistakes, for being in this country so long, you might have figured out by now that the past tense of the verb to be is "were"; "where" is a location.

  8. Looks like there's that Mny ego again, only its anything but mini. I started pulling quotes from Mny's posts here, I didn't even get back to his "piledriving" his brother when the score was 98-0. But let's consider these: You say you won't be ranting and raving on the sidelines, you don't even care if your kids want to play sports. Fine. But I don't believe it for a second if your kids show no drive, no interest in succeeding that you will smile and pat them on the back. The quotes above hardly reflect a personality that will take a "C" report card or being on the wrong end of a 20-0 blowout with a "well, as long as you tried, that's all that matters, son."
  9. I just don't think its necessary for his "disciples" to be brought on ... I think its the way they try to make a black man more "presentable" to white bread America. If you insist on having "special guests," fine, but it ought not to be necessary to promote that fact. Which brings us to my "dis" of Elton John and Billy Joel. Anyone who has seen these A&E shows knows that they have been a huge success catering to white bread, top-40, pop music loving baby boom America. B.B. King fits in how?
  10. Did anyone happen to catch this? In an amazing bit of bad timing, we've had horrific storms in south Florida and the cable has gone on and off for the last three days. Of course, it was on at 8 pm but by 9 it was off again. The only thing that kept me from tossing the TV set through the window was the knowledge that a friend had already programmed his TiVo so that he could burn a CD for me. Now I'll have to ask him to burn a videotape, too. BTW, I saw a print ad for this which mentioned a special guest, Jeff Beck. All I can say is, I hope he didn't ruin it. There's no reason whatsoever to bring anyone else on but BB and his band. BB don't need no "special guests".
  11. Hardbop posted this earlier today at AAJ, in a thread regarding "how you came to jazz": "in 1971 when I was 12" So that would put HB at 43 or 44.
  12. I agree, Paul. As admirable as his personal story and that of his parents is, I have to say that it makes me wonder whether, in instilling a tremendous desire to work and succeed, Mny has also been instilled with the traits that lead to those parents who scream on the sidelines (let alone attack umpires). Sorry, Mny, but I have to tell you, that is the way you are appearing here. Guess I'm headed for that mythical enemies list, huh?
  13. I can understand your suggestion but the fact is that none of these threads are ever closed-if you get the CD two weeks later you are free to post your reactions whenever you wish to. Witness the fact that the Armstrong CD got reviews two weeks after its "run" ended.
  14. I'll spare you the photo of Sarah Jessica Parker's butt that I posted elsewhere, but I can safely say that I will never tire of that one!
  15. Also in the category of "nice finds": Greg Hatza, Organization on Palmetto-I just heart about Hatza's early LPs and found out that alto man Jim Snidero appears on his mid-90s 'comeback' release. Being a Snidero fan I knew I wanted to find it, and lo and behold, there it was at the used disc shop. Great timing! Joey DeFranscesco and Danny Gatton, Relentless-I think Kevin Bresnahan raved about this and since it sounded good at the listening station I went for it.
  16. Hey, Mny, behind those geeky glasses I saw a lot of potential! Potential fullfilled, I might add
  17. I was going to mention this myself. I think there's another Prez Conference date with Sweets Edison as featured soloist, too.
  18. How about Kolchack, with, I believe, Darren McGavin? And does anyone recall the early 70s series called "Ghost Story", I think it lasted one season? I have strong memories of having the bejeezus scared out of me, so it would be interesting to see it again, see if it was more a function of age than the way the stories were told.
  19. A very nice player, even if his Ben Webster influence was so pronounced. I pulled out his Mapleshade release,Just for You and the one CD I recommend most highly, On The Sunny Side of the Street on Timeless to listen and remember. RIP. *************** His Ellington association leads me to wonder-who else is left who played with Duke? I'm not as familiar with the later-era Ellington bands but I imagine there were younger guys in those bands who are still around. But is Harold the last from his generation?
  20. Well, I found out that "Inspired Inventors" like me typically sleep in the nude
  21. Can we at least agree that, when it comes to ways to rile up their readership, the over-rated/under-rated issue was a much better way to do it than hiring Stanley Crouch?
  22. I see your point, Joe, but who does the "rating"? Its the critics, so while the subject might be Jarrett, one critic is taking the rest to task for over-rating him; or, in the case of the "under" rated, saying why don't you people recognize this guy. I think it was the partisans of certain musicians like Jarrett and Ornette who took the greatest umbrage at any suggestion their favorites are "over-rated", not the musicians themselves.
  23. Actually, I enjoyed that cover article and its follow-up letters. While it did give some people an opportunity to mouth off about some guys it also gave some props to people who deserve it. You know, if you remember that its all individual opinion, you ought to be able to accept it for what it is. Not that I'm speaking directly to you, Joe-more in terms of the letters of outrage that people wrote to Jazztimes. I would nominate Keith Jarrett too. Or Thomas Chapin, but only because anyone that Steve Reynolds overpraises couldn't have been that good.
  24. There's one flaw in your theory about McGinley, Mny. He made a much better neighbor to the Bundy's than the first guy. Speaking of sci-fi "classics"-did anyone else see on CNN.com that "V" is coming back, I believe as a Mini-Series?
  25. Brad can give you details but I can tell you that Michael has strongly implied that domestic Sounds are unlikely in the foreseeable future. He's also minimized the likelihood of a full-size Mosaic but he did tell Brad that he "thought he had a solution" to the problem of so many Sounds albums, and he said this shortly before the announcement of the Mosaic Select series. So my guess is that a Mosaic Select is likely, perhaps in two volumes.
