  1. I really hope they put out a live cd from this tour, would love to hear this incarnation play! Of course a studio release would be perfectly fine as well!

    You're too easy to please, Erik!!

    I think we'll get both. I know there's studio recordings in the can.

    I was at the Friday night NYC show. I got a surprise call the day before the show offering me a ticked & a VIP pass! An exciting evening that certainly cheered me up. :)

    I was at the Saturday NYC show, and they were on fire! They played with great emotion AND precision, pretty hard to do. The three drummers thing was a blast.

  2. Another important voice quieted, but not silenced.

    Leave us not forget his ground-breaking work with Arthur Blythe.

    I saw the group with Abdul Wadud and it was excellent! Alto, tuba, guitar, cello, drums, they were swinging and out at the same time.

  3. That is truly rage inducing. When i read the subject title of this thread, i thought it was going to be that it was a fake grant that he was promised or something... but no, someone ripped off his roughly $500,000.00 Kyoto Prize. It was going to be money in Taylor's bank account. Does anyone know the ins or outs insurance/bank/legal/Inamori Foundation wise as to whether Taylor will get any of the money? It doesn't look likely.

    I think Taylor would only get what could be recovered from the thief, which probably won't be much.

  4. SA kicked Miami's azz

    Gotta give them some credit

    A no name wins Finals MVP

    Hope Duncan & Popazit retire

    SA kept moving the ball around on offense and when they had a wide open shooter they made them at a ridiculous rate. Their bench was far superior to Miami's. LBJ needs some help, he's not Superman.

  5. If one is a fan, I suppose that would be seen as versatility. Someone more skeptical (like me), that would be seen as introducing an element of the ersatz, which might be why it is hard to connect with Ribot. For example, I just don't buy his Cuban/Spanish group Los Cubanos Postizos; to me that has that ersatz feel to it.

    They are the 'Prosthetic' Cubans...

    They're having fun with Cuban music, but playing some good stuff in the process.

  6. Complete Savoy recordings of Bill Barron (with Motivation)

    Complete Charles Mingus Recordings with Don Pullen and George Adams (with unissued Carnegie Hall material left off their Columbia record)

    Complete Charles Williams Mainstream Recordings

    Complete Lou Donaldson - Chewy phone recordings

    Me too, I was at that concert!

  7. So ARod finally drops his lawsuit against MLB and the Players Union. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. I think the suit against the union was the last straw for the mlb players, before that, there was starting to be some actual player sympathy for ARod, after the suit and the various charges agains the union, he was toast.

    And now that Jeter is retiring after this season, he'll never have A-Roid as his teammate ever again!

    Phillies sign AJ Burnett for 1 year, but Hamels is injured

    Yankee infield is ????, Teixeira coming off wrist surgery and years of decline, Jeter coming off a year of injury, and two other guys(Brian Roberts, injury prone).
