Anyone else heard of this clown?

Well, fuck me, but I've only got one track from that Muse album (as a bonus to the 32 Jazz reissue of "These Are Soulful Days", which was re-titled "Steady Comin' at Ya" and contains two tracks from yet another album, "Movin' Up!"). Guess I got to look for some vinyl.

At least no one needs to fuck me because of the Prestige... I was aware of it (but don't know it).

Love Daniels with the Jones/Lewis band, but always preferred him on clarinet.

The Prestige date is a quartet with the Hanna/Davis/Lewis rhythm section (I think an interesting comparison could be made of that trio to the Byard/Davis/Dawson trio, actually, each relative to their own milieu...they do a lot of the same general "breaking up" of the timekeeping role, and in both cases, Davis is often the locus). It get a little "facile" at times, but it's a loose facile, so...it's all right with me.

Looks like The Return Of Don Patterson saw Muse CD issue as The Genius Of The B-3

So it's been reissued whole at least once.

Cool, will keep my eyes open... Hanna/Davis/Lewis are terriffic w/the band. Would certainly be interesting to hear them in trio, and I imagene w/Farrell instead of Daniels! Not sure they'd have suited Booger, but the idea is fascinating! (And certainly Lewis is more... well, what? ... then Dawson)

hmmm.... Mel was like a big cushiony feather bed on top of some really badass boxsprings, Dawson like a really big, really, taut trampoline, maybe?

Either way, Richard Davis was able to do magic in both!

I like that comparison :)

And yes, Davis is amazing on all those albums from around that time!

He was one of the first bass players I ever heard that really made me listen and think and replay just listening to the bass and listen more and think more... some mind-bending stuff going on in his playing in the second half of the sixties (roughly).

Found a copy of the CD.

true, but at least THOSE clowns made weird barnyard noises. This guy is as smooth as supermarket ice cream and about as tasty.

yikes, completely forgot about that old thread - this guy was in Portland (Maine) last night, and the reviewer, as I noted, said he had bested Benny. Oy.

And Sol Yaged is still among us!

I'm not sure (having gigged w/him and written about it as a classic nightmare gig) whether he's the greater clarinettist or pain in the ass. But for style and substance he's hard to beat at either.

...And the "fuck him" thing was a joke, but sometimes I forget that this type of humor is not shared by all, so...sorry. for real.

Perhaps you would have been better off saying, "fuck'em". It's less direct, more off-handed.

When provoked, my 85-year-old mother will sometimes respond with the gentler "screw'em". :lol:
