The trumpeter is lucky he never slapped John Bonham.

Was this before or after Keith Emerson jammed with Oscar Peterson?

Has anyone had a chance to listen to this edition of Lotus? Any comments?

Looks like Leon Thomas singing “The Creator has a Master Plan” with Santana (1974) is to be released: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MV3SPLJ/?tag=imwan-20 If anyone gets an advance copy, please tell us your opinion of the release.

I bought the CD of the Beatles Live at the Hollywood Bowl and the Norah Jones Day Breaks CD at Target.

I remember one story that Saundra Hummer wrote about – she said she was once walking down the street with a bag that had records she had just bought at a record store. She walked past a group of men who stopped her to ask her what records she had bought, and it turned out that some of those men were musicians on the records she had just bought. If I remember correctly, one of those men was Shorty Rogers.

RIP

Some details from http://www.norahjones.com/: “Coming October 7th, Day Breaks is Norah's sixth solo album and a kindred spirit to her breakout debut Come Away With Me. It finds her returning to the piano and her roots. The album features Blue Note luminaries including saxophonist Wayne Shorter, organist Dr. Lonnie Smith, and drummer Brian Blade on a 12-song set that presents 9 new originals alongside covers of songs by Horace Silver, Duke Ellington and Neil Young”

Has anyone already heard the songs that Wayne Shorter has recorded with Norah Jones? (I already know that Norah Jones has been blasted on this forum.)

Have you already seen this video?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2e0Fb7qFYmU Loss Prevention specialists converge in coastal Ventura, California where wily shoplifters are wreaking havoc at a legendary record store. And if you think their crimes are outrageous, just wait until you hear their excuses!

I would like to hear how they recorded El Condor Pasa, probably the most famous Andean song. You may have heard the song in the Simon and Garfunkel album Bridge over Troubled Water. But please do not think that Paul Simon wrote the music - the music was composed by Daniel Alomias Robles.

I know many people hated ELP (and Carl Palmer has been trashed many times on jazz forums) - nevertheless, RIP Keith Emerson http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-35787187
