I recall when Sid was in Boston, I, too, would call Sid to needle him by requesting. some number by, say, Illinois Jacquet or Roy Eldridge, and Sid would always say, "Sorry. Not 'muddin' enough."
As for plugging Capital Records: FINALLY I understand why he kept playing the Sinatra cuts, which really did not fit with what he called the "muddin', progressive American jazz" that he championed.
