Lee Morgan: Indeed! (BN/King Japan)

Lee Morgan at 18(!), C. Sharpe wailing, Philly Joe driving & punctuating, Horace, the steady hand holding things together, & Wilbur Ware, the heartbeat

Yeah - another one of my favorites. Wilbur Ware is especially fine on the Monterose.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

I've been playing my Piltdown Men 45s

McDonald's cave/Brontaosaurus stomp - Capitol UK

Piltdown rides again/Bubbles in the tar - Capitol UK

A pretty girl is like a melody/Big lizzard - Capitol UK

I think "Piltdown rides again" is still a great R&R/pop single. I posted a youtube version here a few days ago

But I still think that their masterpiece was a joyous arrangement of "A pretty girl is like a melody", done a la David Rose's "The stripper" and a HELLUVA lot better for a stripper to gyrate to. It may only be R&R/pop, but dammit, this is GOOD!

[jostber]

Professor Longhair - Houseparty New Orleans Style

with Snooks Eaglin on Guitar.

First,

Then,

Dennis Gonzalez - Namesake - (Silkheart)

Because I talked to Alvin Fielder today and he's doing well.

Good to hear the news about Mr. Fielder.

[clifford_thornton]

Yeah, Alvin's a real force of nature, and a fascinating character/historian of the music. Hopefully he'll be back to playing more regularly again soon - he's been practicing quite a bit, he says.
