I love Paul Gonsalves.   Maybe first from hearing and reading the liner notes to the incredible “Duke Ellington at Newport 1956” record when his 27-chorus solo on “Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue” turned the staid New England patrons into a frenzied crowd.   But then from digging deeper into his smaller group sessions on Impulse (“Tell It The Way It Is”) and Jazzland (“Gettin’ Together”).   Also great is his “Boom-Jackie-Boom-Chick” (on Vocalion).   This is a great one on Argo, which was a great jazz (and soul) label.

“Cookin” (also 1956) features Clark Terry, William Jones, Jimmy Woode and Sam Woodyard.

Thanks to Margaret Still for sending us Vicki Jamison “He’s More Than Enough”

I think this refers to Jesus. Maybe you don’t need bread if you have religion. Does that make sense? She looks like Nancy Reagan. Just Say No to bread!

This from our friend in Brazil Zeco Louro:   The album title is “O SAPATAO,” which is Brazilian slang for “lesbian”.   “Sapato” means “shoe” and “Sapatao” is how we say “a big shoe”.   I think the idea is that Durval is asking the girl if she is a Sapatao, a lesbian.”

Well I guess that explains it. But it’s still weird.

In the 1950s Woody Allen began a career in show business as a comedy writer for tv shows like Your Show of Shows and The Garry Moore Show. By the 60s, he’d graduated to performing his material in stand-up venues across America. For a handful of these years (before embarking on a career of movie making) several of his live performances were captured on disc. This the second of Woody’s three records of stand-up material was recorded at The Shadows in Washington, D.C., April 1965.
