I like that album, it´s really a nice thing. I also like the percussion stuff on it very very much.
But I think it´s not as great as Karma or "Live at the East", the latter one was the first Pharoah Sanders album I got, shortly after it was in the stores, and anyway one of my first albums, when I was still a kid....
I still have it, and thought I´d like Mr. Sanders to sign it for me, but I was a bit afraid so I didn´t ask him, especially after I heard that he is not pleased with the stuff he did earlier. ...
He signed my copy of Tauhid when he played London about a decade ago. He was very sweet about it (possibly helped that my girlfriend gave him a kiss on the cheek).

Just seen the following on Dave Holland's Twitter...
Thinking about my dear friend Kenny Wheeler who passed away today. A beautiful spirit that lives on in his music & in our memory.

Crusaders pianist Joe Sample has passed away. This was posted on his Facebook page this morning:
At 9:50pm (Houston,TX time), September 12, 2014, Joe Sample passed. His wife Yolanda and his son Nicklas would like to thank all of you, his fans and friends, for your prayers and support during this trying time. Please know that Joe was aware and very appreciative of all of your prayers, comments, letters/cards and well wishes.

Got both the Rhino and earlier Atlantic stereo version, and aside from the lame gimmick of the Messengers in one channel and Monk in the other (with Monk not actually playing for long periods, as was his wont) there's much better bass on the Rhino. Spanky DeBrest (!) sounds like he was playing in the corridor outside the studio on the stereo mix.
The sound on the stereo Atlantics of that period is often problematic, though the Blakey/ Monk is one of the worst offenders. Have any Coltrane or Ornette albums from the late 50s/ early 60s been issued in (presumably superior) mono versions?

Why, thank you!

From NPR's A Blog Supreme Twitter feed:
NPR has spoken with Horace Silver's son, Gregory. Horace Silver is ALIVE, "drinking coffee and eating breakfast right now."

How do you know when there's a drummer at your door?
The knocking speeds up.
How do you know when there's a piano player at your door?
He doesn't know when to come in.
How do you know when there's an accordion player at your door?
The knocking carries on even after you've told them to go away.

What's the difference between a drum machine and a drummer?
You only have to punch information into a drum machine once.

Gil Scott Heron- Winter In America. The song of that title appears on the album The First Minute of a New Day.

Thanks, guys. It was a great one all round.

It's been many years since I read it, but I remember enjoying Robert Palmer's Deep Blues.

In the last six months I've bought 14 items from ZOverstocks, and they've all been fine except for one: I bought Jaco Pastorius' Birthday Concert which arrived without a booklet. I contacted them and was refunded in full, without having to return the CD. Have had no other complaints about the condition of any of the used items. Maybe I'm just having better luck.

Wait a minute... are these recordings actually from the Concertgebouw? If so, then- at least to my knowledge- none of this material has been issued before (the single track in the KOB box that Ubu mentioned is from the Kurhaus gig).
Pete Losin lists two concerts on April 9, one at 8.15 (Kurhaus) and one at midnight (Concertgebouw): http://www.plosin.com/milesahead/Sessions.aspx?s=600409

J J Johnson - jazz trombonicist
J J Johnson - reggae producerizer
Actually, someone told me in conversation yesterday that there's a JJ Johnson playing drums with pop singer/ guitarist John Mayer.
Come to that, John Mayer (pop guitarist)/ John Mayer (violinist, keyboardist & composer, played with Joe Harriott)

The bass player in dreadful nu-metal shitehawks Limp Bizkit is one Sam Rivers.

Can't find the link I was sent, but this looks similar: http://deletemalware.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/remove-babylon-toolbar-and-search-web.html
Didn't actually perform this myself. It involves editing the registry, which you might not want to do yourself.

A friend of mine had this overtake all his browsers (Firefox, IE, Chrome). It redirects all your searches to infected websites. Nasty.
Getting rid of it is not easy. Will probably involve opening your computer in safe mode and running some anti virus software.
Someone sent me a link to some advice on getting rid of it, will see if I can find it.

I'm sure you all know this by now, but Wheeler's Windmill Tilter is now available on CD. Got mine from Amazon last week.
-
Ah, thank you!
I'm still claiming to be 38, though.

Mine arrived this morning. Sounding great. Wonderful music, too.

Yep, same confirmation email here. Excellent service.

Wasn't Joe Henderson a contender by 1964?
For the right project Miles and Roland Kirk could have been a teem.
Bobby Hutcherson?
Joe spent a couple of weeks in the band around '67, i think. Would have loved to have heard that.
Bobby Hutcherson would have been interesting. (Am I right in thinking Buddy Montgomery went through the band at one point in the early sixties?)
Rahsaan was a little too idiosyncratic to share a stage comfortably with anyone (except to burn their sorry asses off stage), especially someone as egocentric as Miles. Think it would have been oil and water.
Update on the Miles Davis movie.

I have high hopes for the car chases.
