  1. I agree, though I know jazzhound won't buy no steenkin' cd. The new version has great sound as well. Really nice cd sound!
  2. Hope it was a great one D and many happy returns.
  3. Your father, from the strength of this one album, all I've heard, was also a wonderful musician. Did he play other instruments besides the violin? Your uncle also played a wonderful clarinet! Have you also learned to play an instrument? Thanks for sharing the information about your sons and best of luck to them both in their musical endeavors.
  4. First off, WELCOME! I'm very glad that you found this thread and are posting! Secondly, I THINK that if you simply follow adding the item into the basket and select shipment and select payment with your credit card it would subtract the correct amount of Euros from your card. . . . I THINK so, but have never used this site before.
  5. Nay thou hast not sinned! For an explanation, please see this thread: New board warning system
  6. This is a great series of recordings. My favorites are the ones with Flip Philips and Bill Harris, and the live small combo dates (one including Herbie Hancock). But they're all good, really, IF you're a Goodman fan. NO DUDS included.
  7. I admit that I didn't expect much from this show when my wife suggested we watch its premiere. . . .But I really enjoy this show and think it is very well put together and executed. It's smart and clever. Now I hate to miss an episode. Pitiful I know. B)
  8. Ah it's all fine my brother. Imagine ef I were to be forced to share the inheritance with yer all had yer been there. . . I could nie have had such a night at the inn!

  16. Raoul De Souza belongs on this list. A Brazilian trombonist whose sound, zesty delivery and humor puts him strongly in this camp, an awesome player!
  17. Bid Sid is one of my FAVORITES. He had it all, drive, flash, a great sound and he really made a band sound solid. I love to listen to him! Joe Guy died in 1961. Lawrence Lucie was a great rhythm guitarist; he and Everett Barksdale should get more attention I think. Here is what the All Music Guide says about Lucie: "Mostly a nonsoloing rhythm guitarist throughout his career, Lawrence Lucie was on many important recording sessions and had a lengthy playing career. As a child he learned banjo, mandolin and violin, playing with a family band at dances. After moving to New York, he studied banjo at the Brooklyn Conservatory but immediately became a guitarist when he started playing professionally. Lucie performed with the orchestras of Duke Ellington (briefly in 1932), Benny Carter (1932-34), Fletcher Henderson (1934), the Mills Blue Rhythm Band (1934-36), back with Henderson (1936-39), Coleman Hawkins (1940) and Louis Armstrong (1940-44). In addition to recording with all of the above (except Ellington), Lucie was on record dates with Teddy Wilson & Billie Holiday, Spike Hughes, Putney Dandridge, Big Joe Turner, Red Allen and Jelly Roll Morton. With the end of the big band era, Lucie often worked in a quartet with his wife guitarist-singer Nora Lee King. He also gigged with Luis Russell, Louie Bellson (1959) and Cozy Cole in the 1950's and became a busy studio musician. On his own Toy label, Lawrence Lucie recorded a series of so-so easy-listening Lp's during the 1970's/80's that often featured his wife."
  18. Gobez Baldwin here, pleased to meet ya. (Gobez was the name of my first pet, a mutt the result of a union of a dachshund and a Rhodesian Ridgeback, who was "gobez"--"wild" in Amharic).
  19. There is something about the bonists in the swing era (and before) that works a similar magic on me Dan. I'll add Teagarden and Tyree Glenn to that list, those two guys bring a lot of joy to my listening life. And in a different way there is Joe "Tricky Sam" Nanton for decades in the Ellington Orchestra. . . . His sound was so mercurial and amusing!
  20. An amazing drummer! Groove solid, but also full of interesting ideas and imagination. I think some of the stuff that he cut with Lou is some of the very best souljazz drumming around. And he still burns! I'm not too crazy about his CTI leader date that I have. . . . Not sure that I have the Prestige stuff either or have heard it. . . . But I'm a huge fan of his supportive work for others!
  21. Wow, that's great Aric. If anyone deserves to have that boot Mobley it's you!
  22. Yeah buddy Chuck, all that stuff you mention is great. Going to have to find the Grand Award Pee Wee!
  23. Two times too much for this comrade who is not lover of huge breasts!
  24. Okay, Tatum, Ray Charles and oh so many did the guitar/bass/piano thing, so that is not that unusual actually at all. Stuff Smith did some interesting trio material as did Eddie South I believe.
