I love that there are guys already with nicknames getting new nicknames.

I love the shameless ham-handedness of Kant Standhim

― Hideous Lump, Saturday, 1 September 2018 04:36 (seven years ago)

I mainly included it because it reminded me of Costanza/Can't-stand-ya

Can't remember if it's Monk or Cecil Taylor who recorded with "Blue Train" on tenor

It was Cecil, on Hard Driving Jazz, aka Stereo Drive, later reissued under Coltrane’s name as Coltrane Time.

Lonesome Dragon is pretty badass

if self-chosen, Kant Standhim is a pretty funny comment by Kenton on his own reputation

― Brad C., Saturday, 1 September 2018 19:23 (seven years ago)

for such a brilliant tenor sax legend Ben Webster deserved something with a bit more pizzazz than The Brute imo. Oh yeah, they called him Frog as well!

i don't know how you folks feel about the blues, but we have a special place in our hearts for the blues. now not the blues form -- for the stone, pure, natural-born blues. all the way.

consequently, we have a policy, now instituted . . . we never play a set without playing the blues. and we have reasons for that. and we have somebody who's gonna tell you what all the reasons are all about, right now

Cannon's song introductions are some of the best things ever recorded. He was quite the orator.

― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Friday, 7 September 2018 02:51 (seven years ago)

Very happy with this turnout & results tbh
