...writer (he wrote or co-wrote all 25 tunes). This set, mostly from 1956-57, features Curtis at his absolute best; his stutters, yowls and screams on sax constitute the perfect Rock & Roll instrumental voice. When Sam Price and friends hit their boogie woogie stride on tracks like "Roll'em Sam," "Bar B-Q Sauce" and "Honky Tonk Caboose," nothing else seems to matter...

His controversial decisions include a 1978 ruling that under a technicality in a state law, pistols were not firearms, and thus carrying a concealed pistol was not an offense. Such actions have won him a nickname: "Let-'Em-Go Joe." In the Snell case, Durant maintains that "the state was having trouble finding witnesses," and that without plea bargaining Snell might have gone scot free. Not so, insists Dade County Assistant State Attorney Leonard Glick: "I told the judge I had my witnesses." During Snell's sentencing...
