TIL that one of the greatest movies of all time is over 20 years old.

Will do. My post works on Chrome. What OS are you using? I'd hate to have to stop yelling at Johnny for his linking.

No. You were right to call this to my attention. I only pray that John Cole doesn't see this. I will start linking better and hope this gets swept under the rug.


Tell him it was you who straightened me out. I've been gone a long time and I had been doing it even wronger.


the John Cole family was so named for their propensity to receive particular holiday stocking gifts
wouldn't worry about him if i was you

It's all good. I feel that I have a license to ridicule the elderly on these forums and I worry that it will be revoked if they discover I'm the worst of the lot.


i hear tell in some places the worst of the lot are embraced
or maybe it was put in bracelets
hard rememberies sometimes


John Cole sees everything.

i see artfully timed video melding within the floe of conversation
like twining tannic wine and cheeseburgers

years ago, for months on end, Volunteered Slavery and the rest of the Roland Kirk discography were on heavy rotation while i was headphoned up and drafting for a dozen hours a day with no per diem

Phat, this could be your next research project

if you made me select a choice handfull

We Free Kings 1961

Rip Rig and Panic 1965

Volunteered Slavery 1968

Live in Montreux 1972
around when i believe he discovered his own personal summit
and to be clear the entire band is in on the hijinx
it is simply jazz masterclass

bonus coverage live with the Vibration Society, April 1971


I wouldn't call Kirk a research project, I'd call him a lifetime's work. I'm constantly biting off more than I can chew when it comes to jazz.

you don't have to drink from the Firehose of Jazz
just let it wash over you

as you know
thank you for making me aware of it

i'll start with an easy oneAutumn Leavesopening song of the album Somethin' ElseCannonball Adderley – alto saxophoneMiles Davis – trumpetHank Jones – pianoSam Jones – bassArt Blakey – drumsgive this a full listenthen make this connectionlisten to them both and let's chat againboth of these albums were recorded in the period leading up to Kind of Blue, a true inflection point in

Thank you very much, I really enjoyed the first one! I've been busy last few days, but I listened to it yesterday, and I will listen to the second one this week. I can notice what you talked about the albums and the sequence of the songs.


I may be stretching it here but this is a great soundtrack.

happy to hear that you enjoy it
please remember there is no right or wrong way, space, or time continum when it comes to the appreciation of jazz

a wise one in my past suggested you haven't really met a song until you listen as many times as there are instruments
consider this a strong suggestion to put on headphones, close your eyes, and give this one a rip with your ears


and here's the full album if you'd like to hear it in context with other songs
Wise One is the second track, and it's interesting to hear how they eventually get there from the opening tones
and yes sometimes John Coltrane was compared to an angry brass goose


getting back to the RRK conversation
my hands are currently thrown up in the air trying to figure out how to parse this one
some times a force of nature results in unexpected outcomes
this is one of them


always blows me away watching him doing it
amazing this was broadcast on live tv in the early 70s


That is a crazy video, I skipped ahead and he was swinging a chair like Mick Foley.

Speaking of wild things broadcast on tv in the 70s, get you someone who looks at you like Chick Corea looks at George Benson. Chick's synth tones are entirely out of this world.

Yes, when I was a little kid we still heard jazz on the radio.

scrub back and do not miss when he plays B L A C K N U S S taking inspiration only from the ebony keys

I feel like I have material for a month or two, now, thanks! And when I look for new things, I'll come here again. I feel like jazz music improves my life and mood overall, so thank you, one more time, for contributing to my jazz "education".


happy to hear donk
if you find that you like a track
look up the artists that played on it for other things from around the same time
or circle back here for other suggestions
in the end its all just fun ways to make your ears happy


You Jazz guys okay with just vocals?
