Hello and welcome to the 500th OJF post (under the new look, that is). Well, somebody had to do it ...
Just one footy game today, about which I care less than little. But I will be paying keener attention to another oval-ball absurdity going up north somewhere between the Wallabies and the Poms.
In the meantime, I've bought in a big stack of goodies to while away the hours, the only fear being that my current penchant for cool stuff is turning my mind to mush. Or should that be, making my mind even mushier? Is that a word?
Kenton Presents ... discs II and IV Shorty Rogers - Martians Come Back/Way Up There Jack Montrose - Arranged/Played/Composed Complete Nocturne box Sal Salvador - Kenton Presents
Plus a few others, just in case ... Grant Green - Green Street, Complete Quartets With Sonny Clark Pat Martino - Live At Yoshi's Don Rendell/Ian Carr - Shades Of Blues/Dusk Fire/Phase III/Live Duke - Uptown/Masterpieces/Festival Session

Hey Tim, I'm glad someone else is taking the time to regularly post their listening habits - even if your latest effort is a head-scratcher (for me anyway). I'm always interested in what other OJFers may be bending their ears and elbows to. Keep 'em coming, youse guys 'n' gals.

Except for the Stravinsky, there's a common thread; someone must know what it is...

Ok Kenny, so I listed some CDs I have been playing this week. In return that means when Adrian Tame comes to Melbourne (soon) you have to come out with us (Please) and get drunk too. (I don't drink much and he needs Taming - pun intended).

Hi Tim
At a guess : they're all germans ? all germans grabo told you about ? all germans he played with at some stage ?
(And for what it's worth, right now I'm listening to Von Freeman's Walkin' Tuff. One of my favorite, widely-underrated/under-known tenor players.)

In fact, Grabo's actually on all those reckids. For anyone who's inclined to like the early stuff, Strangehorn is from 1984 (and there's even a photo on the back)

Well, not only have I got a swag of sound sensations to groove to threw the arvo and evening, I've also got 4 hunka chunka slices of the caramel cake I baked this morning. Hmmmm .... great gobs of golden syrup, vanilla essense, brown sugar, butter and cocoa.
Vandermark Five - Elements Of style Stan Getz/Bob Brookmeyer - Recorded Fall 1961 Mike Nock's BigSmallMidgetGigantic Band - Live Art Blakey - Indestructible Aaron Choulai - Place Rob Wilkerson - Imaginary Landscapes Gerry Mulligan/Ben Webster - Complete. Found a sealed $10 copy of this yesterday. Sounds so-so with the earplugs in, but sounds like nirvana at home. Sort of like Smells Like Very Freaking Cool Spirit, y'know? Don Rendell/Ian Carr - Shades Of Blue/Dusk Fire Bill McHenry Quartet - Featuring Paul Motian Bill Charlap Trio - Somewhere The Beau Brummels - The San Fran Sessions The Wiggles Album

11.30pm and still workin' away but with a completely different soundtrack ... After searching, using my luddite internet skills, for a couple of years for a particular show, I've found it - thanks to this remarkable site: www.archive.org/audio/etree-details-db.php?id=12298There it is - March, 1977, Winterland, San Francisco. That's me you can hear, the guy with glazed eyes, shit-eating grin, swivelling hips, and backstage pass - hell, I was into schmoozing even then. Actually, I have to admit that 30 years on the next night sounds even better. But I'm gonna burn it anyway, and play the hell out of it. It'll take about five discs - from what I can recall in my increasingly hazy memory, they played for five hours with a half-hour break. Yoiks - eat your heart out, Adrian Tame!
