To add onto what mikeweil and brownie said, it's been VERY hot here in Stuttgart as well. Over the past 7-10 days, it's hit 38 C (100 F) on a couple of occasions. While that may not seem that terrible to many people in the U.S., it's also easy to overlook that almost all homes/businesses have no air conditioning, as it's normally not needed. Many people have died due to the heat this summer. You have any extra room in your Black Forest residence, mike? B)

I'd pick the version of "Maiden Voyage " from Bobby Hutcherson's Happenings album, which is as good as the original IMO.

I used to live in California (Arcadia) when I was young (from 5-9 years old), and one of my friends was named Dennis. Dennis' older brother was in a rock-n-roll band, and they used to practice in their garage at all hours of the day and night. In fact my folks called the police on one or two occasions when it got too loud. We moved to Japan in 1974, so I only saw Dennis once or twice after that, on visits to the old neighborhood. Turns out his brother is Michael Anthony, the bass player from Van Halen. So it's possible my folks called the cops on a teenaged Eddie Van Halen! If anyone in the U.S. watched the first season of "The Amazing Race" (one of the early reality shows), my first cousin and her daughter were the mother-daughter team, Nancy & Emily. They made it all the way to India, before making some mental mistakes that lost it for them.

The title is on the most recent Verve Master Edition remastering of "Domino", that came out in 2000. You are correct that it was previously known as "Ad Lib". However the booklet that accompanies the VME statues that this was "erroneously issued as 'Ad Lib' ". Impressive players on that tune - RRK, Herbie Hancock, Vernon Martin, and Roy Haynes.

Not to completely sidetrack this thread, but former Japan keyboardist Richard Barbieri is now in Porcupine Tree, which is one of my favorite contemporary "progressive" rock groups. A different style of music than Japan, but they're very good at what they do, and they've definitely evolved since their early, Floydian influenced sound. Their most recent album, In Absentia, is heavier sounding (like Tool maybe), but I'd recommend anything from their '99 album "Stupid Dream" on, for anyone interested in this type of music.

Up - just noticed on alankin's site that this one is now due out on 21 October.

Jazzkrow - The best BMG sale that I know of (at least for single disc cds) is the Buy 1, Get unlimited at $1.99. Keep an eye out for that one. If you buy about 10 discs, you can get them for less than $6.00 per disc, including shipping & handling. If you're looking at the double disc sets, there may be a better sale too. I just don't recall which one it is. And keep an eye out on their box sets as well. Some VERY good deals to be had from time to time.

The Steely Dan comment above reminded me that Chris Potter played on "Two Against Nature". John Scofield was on Gov't Mule's "Deep End" Volumes I & II, and on Lettuce's "Lettuce Outta Here". Herbie Hancock has been on a few things. He was on the Duran Duran spinoff album, Arcadia. And he was also on some Neil Diamond records, as well as Mick Jagger's "She's the Boss", and Bonnie Raitt's "Nick of Time".

Dave Douglas - A Thousand Evenings Bill Evans - Interplay Sessions, Solo Sessions I & II, At Shelly's Manne-Hole, Time Remembered (in other words, the rest of the Riverside box) Groove Holmes - Comin' On Home King Crimson - Heavy ConstruKction Pearl Jam - State College Pennsylvania 3 May 2003 ...um Kenny, just curious, but "The Wiggles"?? I watch them with my two year old alot. Paul the Chef is one of the guys from Crowded House. That's the only legitimate music connection I've been able to make.

I'll step up and be a voice of dissent on this one. As far as I can tell, the benefit of the Diaper Genie is eliminating/minimizing the odor from poopy-diapers that you have disposed (please correct me if there are other benefits!). And that is definitely a problem that requires attention (couw take notes here!). That being the case, we simply take the poopy diaper and toss it in a plastic bag (the kind you get from the grocery store, and probably have ~1-2K of them around the house somewhere). Wrap 'em up airtight and tie them, and then toss them in the garbage. Odor is eliminated/minimized as effectively as the Diaper Genie. This method has the practical side benefit of removing the poopy diapers from the house every time you take out the trash as well, instead of waiting for a full Diaper Genie.

Just as another option, you can buy both "The Kicker" and "Solid" from the Amazon.com marketplace (meaning used, directly from another person, but with Amazon's guarantee) for $9.95 plus $2.49 shipping (to U.S. address). And "Africaine" is there (also used) for $11.98, plus the same for shipping. Your half.com prices are very good though, especially if they're new/sealed items.

I saw the McBride show when they passed through Stuttgart back in March. It was a great show (double bill with Gary Burton/Makoto Ozone)! McBride was very talkative, and was really enjoying playing with the guys in his band. I really like Vertical Vision - if you liked the show, definitely pick up the disc! Ron Blake plays great, and my copy (Euro. edition) has some live video on it as well. Was Terreon Gully playing drums with him still?
