CLASSIC MAINSTREAM RECORDINGS "We pick 'em - You buy 'em"


Partial Artist Listing


We Remember Brilliance ...

As tough as it was to survive being a jazz musician, and being miles ahead of the planet musically - it's a wonder they lasted as long as they did. It had to be for the beauty man - the beauty because it sure wasn't for the bread.

Some words of wisdom to young musicians - THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE UP AGAINST ...  So the next time you're in a Studio, MAKE IT COUNT! -'Cause it's all you're  going to

leave on this earth that will possibly endure.

 

 

 



            Jimmy 'on the case' with his great collection.

Great Jazz Vocalists!


lt all starts  with an idea and a piece of paper - the SONG.
This is the foundation to all great music.

The Words are the HEART
The Music is the MIND and
YOU are the soul.

 As soon as they start to sing, you know who they are - not like today.
 
 
 
 
 
"I've made a few bucks from my songs that the rockers have done, but as far as my records  go, they've never made money. I got my first royalty check from Atlantic last year. Because of a reissue they did, they had to pay me a coupla' hundred dollars royalties. But all the time I was with 'em, I never made any money except what I got in advance."  None of my records have ever gotten out of debt. I OWE ALL THE RECORD COMPANIES MONEY. I was with Atlantic from 1961-1976." 
 
MOSE ALLISON 1998

To ALL GAYS:
 
You are as unnatural as choosing the Devil over God. No one can ever convince me that you are all BORN THIS WAY. Hey, you made a CHOICE! And now you want to Marry - unbelievable!  It's tough enough for a man and woman. What makes you different? (No pun intended.) You think you had problems before - they're just beginning! PLEASE go back in the closet with yesterdays' clothes.  Your obnoxious media presence is really getting old. Something deep in my heart will always say you are wrong and against the laws of nature and I know I will never comprehend the way you feel or even care to.
