Current Mood: Parker's
Current Music: real-estate porn on DiY Network
I'm not keen on birthdays, or presents, but the missus badgered me into the latter (the former is inevitable, of course). I was on amazon.com one day, ordering some new CO2 cartridges for my seltzer bottle (seltzer + juice concentrate = soda-like beverage without HFCS), and I talked her into paying for the purchase and letting that suffice for a present.
That deal lasted about 10 seconds, 'til she decided it wasn't birthday-y enough. "Pick out some more stuff!"
I chose a Zoot Sims / Al Cohn boxed set, then had misgivings because I wasn't sure if I didn't already have the material in other formats. So I got this:
Charlie guards the birthday present. Good boy!
George "Don't ask me when it's coming out!" Lewis' decade-in-the-making history of the AACM. Stay tuned for my next birthday, when Charlie will be pictured with Stanley Crouch's Charlie Parker bio, the Chinese Democracy of jazz boox.
