Right, when he feigned a heart attack ("This is the Big One!"), he'd usually say something like, "Elizabeth, here I come!" or, "I'm comin' to join you, Elizabeth!"
My favorite track from the Mingus Bohemia sessions is "Work Song." It's the first recording on which Mal Waldron really grabbed my ear. His short solo here is a wonderful little snapshot of everything I love about his playing style: L.

Foreign-language shows and series are broadcast dubbed in many European countries, but fortunately not in the Netherlands, where they are all in the original language and subtitled. News broadcasts are also subtitled where necessary.

Pony Poindexter - Pony's Express Never really heard of Pony Poindexter before today. Better late than never! File this one under "If you ain't havin' fun listenin' to this one, you ain't listenin' right." Straight ahead, but lively and spirited fast-paced bop music, sweetly wailing blues, and lyrical balladry. What's not to like?
I've seen little of the show, just bits and pieces when others were watching mostly, for one reason, didn't own a TV (by choice) when it was originally on. I do have some of his comedy LPs, as well as the LP shared with Dusty Fletcher; I also know that he (RF) hired his peers and elders, among others, one of whom was Sam "Spo-De-Odee" Theard, who recorded early on with Tampa Red. Sam Theard Now playing: Gato Barbieri, Don Cherry, Albert Ayler, John Handy – Europa Jazz (1981, Vinyl) Doubled in economic value in the last 40 years I see; the musical content, of course, is priceless. Everything on it is apparently misattributed according to the Discogs posting; the Ayler's from Lorrach, the Cherry from this (which having never seen nor heard, makes me glad to have this) Don Cherry – Togetherness (1966, Vinyl)
'S a good one. The cover always reminds me of one of my favorite albums of all time: Which I decided to play right now.
New release on Intakt from English pianist Alexander Hawkins called Break A Vase. Fortunately he does a monthly mailout and had CDs for sale and as I find Intakt's order system for CDs a little old-fashioned I snapped one up from him. Two plays so far - this is a good ensemble. Neil Charles and Stephen Davis were, with Hawkins, on that Braxton Standards tour and box set. Shabaka we know of course. Richard Olátúndé Baker: Adamo (Talking Drum), Percussion Neil Charles: Acoustic Bass Guitar, Double Bass Stephen Davis: Drums Otto Fischer: Electric Guitar Alexander Hawkins: Grand Piano, Upright Piano, Sampler Shabaka Hutchings: Tenor Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone, Flute
Boy it's scary how time flies when you get older. Listening to Matthew Shipp's brilliant Silkheart album Points -- which I think first bought together the rhythm section of Shipp, William Parker and Whit Dickey on record (with Rob Brown on alto, who would also go one to be a big part of Parker's classic turn of the millennium quartet). Released now almost exactly 30 years ago, 1993. Ouch. 30 years! (or 29).. By God, it's a bona fide jazz classic by now!

I picked this up last year. I didn't really know much about him, but its quite a line up that also includes Elvin Jones and Ron Carter, and it piqued my curiosity. As you say its a real fun session and a very enjoyable listen.
Okay, so that's now next in the queue.... .... which in turn reminds me of another fave with a carousel horse theme...
Happened to listen to this marvelous album just the other day. Wanted to hear Rob Brown in particular who I saw in Hartford two months ago.
There was a trio album Brown did for Black Saint or Soul Note a little after this that I really liked but I haven't heard in years. That's one I'm going to have to cue up.
He just celebrated a birthday noted on Facebook. We now have the benefit of seeing him regularly in Inman Sq Cambridge since he’s teaching at Berklee. Monster player with a huge repertoire of extended technique that he uses in free and structured improvisation.
