Beautiful arrangements. Lush, nice textures, excellent instrumentation. Just a few great sessions under other people which he arranged: Lush Life - Lou Donaldson A Slice of the Top - Hank Mobley ( I think ) The Spoiler - Stanley Turrentine I'm very curious about what will be included in the Pearson MS.

SWISS cheese on a burrito and enchilada?? What the hell are they smokin'?

Here's a couple off the top of my head Lee Morgan's 8 bar solo break on 'Locomotion' from Blue Train - I remember rewinding that puppy about 20 times the first time I heard the album......still makes me cringe 'Softly as a Morning Sunrise' from Unity This band has such a great chemistry and when Elvin changes from brushes to sticks as Joe Henderson's solo starts, I get that "Oh YEAH" feeling.

My dad BarBQs a MEAN pork loin.......he jams it full of gaaahhlic cloves and marinates it in.....oh I don't know what BUT the taste.......UGGHGH so tender!!! ......he grills it with sliced eggplant and zucchini...

I like it too.

Thanks guys, this stuff is gold. I've actually been eyeing that Art Pepper disc for a while so that will be my next pickup. Funny, I've heard Trane's quartet in dribs and drabs but don't have any of their output, those Vanguard sessions sound like a fantastic place to start.

Hello all, Softly as a Morning Sunrise is probably my favorite track off of Unity. I'd like to learn this beautiful standard frontwards and back on my own horn and listen to as many interpretations as possible. Besides from Unity, what other recordings of this tune exist? Thanks in advance! Bill

Disney to Begin Renting 'Self-Destructing' DVDs 52 minutes ago LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - This disc will self-destruct in 48 hours. That is the warning The Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:DIS - news) will issue this August when it begins to "rent" DVDs that after two days become unplayable and do not have to be returned. Disney home video unit Buena Vista Home Entertainment will launch a pilot movie "rental" program in August that uses the self-destruction technology, the company said on Friday. The discs stop working when a process similar to rusting makes them unreadable. The discs start off red, but when they are taken out of the package, exposure to oxygen turns the coating black and makes it impenetrable by a DVD laser. Buena Vista hopes the technology will let it crack a wider rental market, since it can sell the DVDs in stores or almost anywhere without setting up a system to get the discs back. The discs work perfectly for the two-day viewing window, said Flexplay Technologies, Inc., the private company which developed the technology using material from General Electric Co.(NYSE:GE - news) The technology cannot be hacked by programmers who would want to view the disc longer because the mechanism which closes the viewing window is chemical and has nothing to do with computer technology. However, the disc can be copied within 48 hours, since it works like any other DVD during that window. Buena Vista did not disclose pricing plans but said the discs, dubbed EZ-D, would be available in August in select markets with recent releases including "The Recruit," "The Hot Chick," and "Signs." This is really what we need, more waste and bigger landfills. How can they be certain that the advantages will weigh out the disadvantages?? Any comments?

Thanks for the recs folks! On my list surely for purchase in the next few weeks are Midnight Creeper, Let 'em Roll, Down Home Style, and The Worm. I 've also been eying Henderson's Sunburst. Is that a worthy pickup? I'm not that familiar with his playing or his music. Keep 'em coming!

Past few days: Herbie Hancock - Speak Like a Child Pat Martino - Consciousness Live! Nightwings Interchange Joe Henderson - Lush Life

OOps! I didn't catch this the first time around.......sorry!

Webster Young, I believe.

Just an FYI, not sure about as of when, but my local Tower has Savoy's reissue of 'Iron City', along with several other former 32 Jazz-ers now on Savoy.....funny, though, I couldn't find anything regarding these reissues on Savoy's website. Wish there was some sort of definite plan on how they're going about the reissuing schedule for these.

Let me start with a vote for The Spoiler With arrangements by Duke Pearson and many of the same personnel as Duke's The Right Touch, it's a perfect companion IMO.....A nice larger group outing. I like Easy Walker too. Nothing groundbreaking but a nice quartet session. Nice playing by all and the domestic CD has 5 bonus tracks.

I was cleaning out an old email account and came across these: Jazz Musicians' Haiku Money's everything Playing any gig that comes Whores, we are all whores Squeaking and squawking All eyes roll to the heavens The clarinet speaks One beat to change from Harmon to cup to bucket Hey, who wrote this crap? Here comes the high note The lead trumpeter puckers Clam, clam, Fuck!, clam, Shit! The jam session starts Somebody calls "Giant Steps" Cold fear grips my brain Here's the girl singer Stepping to the microphone Pitch, Time, All gone now Gig is going well Asshole requests "Stevie Ray!" I look at my watch I once had a dream Big house, new car, big money Now I play the bass Gorgeous chick tells me "You sound just like Kenny G" Quitting music now Three-eight, eleven-eight Fuck you Andrew Lloyd Webber Five-eight, seven-eight The woodwind doubler Practicing the piccolo (Neighbor calls the cops) Trane, Prez, Bird, Brecker Giants of the saxophone Eat shit Kenny G Pit orchestra gig Days and nights become as one I have no damned life Bad intonation Strings are sharp and reeds are flat Brass too loud again Great changes, good groove A one-in-a-million gig No singer. Yippee! Post more jazz and music related humour here.

Only a few that still elude me: Hi Voltage - Hank Mobley Tender Moments - McCoy Tyner Complete UA Sessions - Ken McIntyre

Hi everybody, I really like the vibe over here on Organissimo and decided to join the fun. Let me open up with a question. Out of the new Rare Grooves and older ones still available, which are the must haves for someone with a broad taste in music. As of now I only have a couple (Kofi, Easy Walker, The Right Touch) I've read recs for Patton's Let 'em Roll some of the Lou Donaldson titles...What are some others that are noteworthy? Thanks and best regards -Bill
