My quintet (aka the jazz refugees) is back at The Meridian Room / Dallas (where mr sangrey and friends held court last week). Of course, Jim shares the front line with me most of the time. (he's a busy guy doncha know) We'd like to be able to hit every Thursday, but pay gigs keep getting in the way. Damn! Next month it should steady up and we'll be there every week for the foreseeable future. We play from 9-12. Great food (and i mean GREAT...just ask Jim; he agrees), a wide selection of beers (micro brews, imports etc), and generally a good time to be had. The staff is nice (and Dana is cute) http://www.themeridianroom.com/ Give us a holler if you pop in!

A 70's jazz wormhole I stumbled across a mother load of jazz LPs from that decade at a Goodwill. All records are essentially in like new condition. Two Billy Cobham LPs I didn't yet have. Flora Purim The Essential Airto (flying dutchman 2-fer) Lucky Thompson "Illuminations" (groove merchant 2-fer) Chick Corea/Braxton/Holland/Altschul - Circle (ECM) Gato Barbieri - Chapter One: Latin America (impulse) Gato B - Chapter Three (impulse) John Klemmer - Magic Moments (chess 2 fer) Gary Bartz - The Shadow (prestige) Jimmy McGriff - "Flyin' Time (groove merchant 2-fer) Music with 58 Musicians, vol. one (ECM compilation) Alice Coltrane - "Radha - Krsna Nama Sankirtana" (WB) Nothing here that really rocked my boat, but a few nice things. And @ .59 cents a pop in the fine condition they were in I had to grab them. A side note: the sometimes annoying cashier at this store started chatting about jazz. what she liked what she didn't etc. Then she asks if I'd heard of Gene Krupa...yeah well. Then she tells me he was a family friend in Chicago and they called him Uncle Gene! Nice

Dropped by a local garage sale. Saw a stack of LPs sitting in the sun, stacked on top of one another (oh the horror!) Luckily the sun hadn't done any damage yet. Found a couple of LPs for fifty cents each: A clean copy of Lou Donaldson's "Alligator Bogaloo" (BST 84263 / Blue and white label / division of Liberty) Also a clean copy of "Latin ala Lee" (Peggy Lee with afro cuban beat) on Capitol.
