Saw curtis fuller do a set here in Chicago on Halloween, good time except plenty of loud drunks around me. I’m gonna check out cedar walton this weekend at the jazz showcase. I’m new to jazz starting about a year and a half ago, and I didn’t even realize lou donaldson or curtis fuller were still around. I read about fuller in the paper that day, and headed over there a few hours later.
I’m cramming in as much live jazz as I can before all the fifties guys are gone. Can someone give me some info on who else is still around? They’ll come through here eventually.

…Based on the some of the comments posted here lately, I think we could all use a night out “ceedee”. (I’ll be the first to admit, I could definietly use one based on some of my past comments) But you have to admit, presentation is everything and sex sells right !? Besides, who among us can resist the charms & sex appeal of a NM Bluenote ? Blue Train is one of the first Jazz albums I ever bought, and you never forget that first love. …So about that night out… I would have loved to catch Lou Donaldson at the Village Vanguard last week, anybody out catch a set or two ?

Sure Sign That One Needs To Get Out More Often: when “showing a bit of cleavage” refers to an area between “cover and album.” Oh,my god-has it been that long? (Uh…sad to say-yes)

I will say that the seller of Blue Train did a nice job on the listing, which always helps. If you look at it, the picture is very clear, and then there’s the very alluring photo of the original Blue Note sleeve, just showing a bit of cleavage between the cover and album.

& someone on the UK site paid nearly $100 for a Liberty Stereo press in VG+/VG+ this weekend.
