My mind is aglow with whirling, transient nodes of thought careening through a cosmic vapor of invention. ditto, Mr. Lamarr.

this isn't really anything new... it's basically a piano roll on steroids. the idea has been around for more than 100 years.

I saw him back when the all-star Big Band from the Altman movie "Kansas City" was touring. The horns were Carter, Joshua Redman and Don Byron. They got into a cutting contest and Byron easily handed both of them their heads. Not even close. Don used sheer muscle to take out JC's attempts at pyrotechnics.

These boxes are to hook up to analog TVs that can't really take advatage of component or HDMI anyway. As for cable companies "not switching to digital", of course they are, their boxes are already digital converters. I sent off for a coupon some time ago and have yet to get it.

Normally, I'm never overly impressed with remasterings... but I'll tell you, when I heard the DSDs of some of the Miles Davis catalog, holy shit! There is a noticeable difference, particularly in detail. I have listened to this catalog many many times in many different configuations over the years and thought I had heard it all... but no... take Sketches Of Spain for instance... I was like "Hey! Since when is there a harp on this?!" And the added detail on Kind Of Blue is almost to the point of annoying. I mean, I don't really think we need to hear Coltrane's teeth on his mouthpiece.

Another favorite of mine I'm not seeing here is... Mario Bauza

Let's not forget this guy... he invent Mambo Israel Cachao López

Back in the 90s, I had a chance to hang out with both Turrentine and Diana Krall at an Association for Jazz Educators convention. Stanley was one of the nicest, warmest humans I've ever had the opportunity to meet. He was wearing one of his trademark sweaters. I made a comment about how much I enjoyed the records he had made with his then-wife Shirley, and he was quick to tell me not to say that too loud for fear his current wife, who was nearby, might overhear. He then whispered to me that he liked them too. At one point a painfully shy Diana Krall approached Stanley and asked if "Mr. Turrentine" might like to sit in with her that night when she played. Stanley lit up and said "girl, I thought you would never ask!" It was funny that Diana was so sheepish about it, since Stanley had played on her then current Impulse Record "All Of Me".

While "Sugar" and "Cherry" are great, another great CTI of his was "Salt Song". Not to mention "Let It Go"

The Black Page? That ain't so impressive. Hell, an 11 year old girl can play it...

I use an ION on my Mac and all you need to do to get sound is to load up Audacity, open a new file and hit record. Once it is recording, you can hear it. If you don't want to record while listening, just hit pause first. You should be able to get sound while Audacity is in either "record" or "record pause" mode.

Looks OK to me... Paul Zwingenburger Torsten Zwingenburger Plas Johnson Andy Dick Joe Cocker Honoré de Balzac

Leslie Kong Jimmy Cliff John Ratzenberger hope I'm doing this right

To me, his "masterwork" was his final album, Civilization Phaze III. It's one of those things that's gonna take the world many, many years to catch up with.
