  1. Jim Alfredson - In Memorandom (Big O Records)
  2. I was surprised he was 87 as well. I saw Galper a few times over the years but it's been a long time since I last saw him perform. I really enjoyed his playing with Phil Woods.
  3. Sorry - I just don't dig this new cover. UPS brown just doesn't cut it for me. I don't know why, but Blue Note seems to be purposefully re-doing almost every Patrick Roques cover. Joe Harley posts here occasionally... maybe he can tell us why this is? Does Blue Note not hold the copyright on those Patrick Roques Connoisseur covers?
  4. Rock or funk or R&B??? Now playing - Spring - Funkin With The Rhythm And Blues (Springs of Sound Music). I have no idea where I got this nor who "Spring" is. With this cover shot, I have to wonder if I'm his target audience. Funky stuff... maybe R&B. Fun either way.
  5. And actually affordable. The last time Herbie played up this way, they were charging $300/ticket.
  6. I'm picky enough to want the normally-aspirated 283 V8 with a PowerGlide 2-speed automatic. The fuel-injection system was a PITA to maintain and keep working just right as it was mechanically actuated and needed constant adjustment.
  7. I'm with you there... this is the color combo I'd love to own/drive:
  8. @sonnymax showed me the trick to get these off many years ago. You lift off the cover from the edge opposite the sticker by gently lifting up the piece of case that comprises the lower hinge pin. You lift the cover up and the plastic can be easily peeled off. Once done, carefully re-attach the cover.
  9. I'm not much of a fan of the C3 Corvettes, especially the 1975-77 models, which was a bit of a dog due to the first generation emission controls that bogged it down.
  10. Just finished - Jorma Kaukonen - Quah. Red/yellow split vinyl. Now playing - Peter Gabriel - Scratch My Back And I'll Scratch Yours (Real World Records)
  11. I'm pretty sure the CD I have of "Welcome to the Party" was bought there that night. I couldn't stay long because it was late and just so loud in there.
  12. Post away... I tried making the thread topic have a "hook", but flyers are flyers, no matter where you get 'em. I think people would like to see them, even if they're not scans of shows you've actually attended. I just happened to have a file folder full of them that I kinda tripped upon this morning, so I thought people here would get a kick out some of them. And maybe the stories too.
  13. 1999 was the one year I lived near enough to New York City that I could head in if I wanted to skip work the next day. This is from the Spring of 1999. I saw Andrew Hill and his sextet play there March 13, which I know because Andrew signed an LP and dated it. It was really one of my more memorable Jazz shows. They recorded it for release but there was some sort of technical glitch, so they recorded them again and that was what was released. For a short time in the summer of 2004, Amesbury, MA had a nice pub downtown that offered live Jazz nights. You know I had to go when pianist Alex Minasian brought Curtis Fuller in for a show. This is timely finding this, as Alex is coming to Jimmy's in Portsmouth, NH tonight and I'm sitting right up front with my two daughters.
  14. Another club that I went to frequently but never got a slyer from was the Blue Note Club in Taipei. No matter the name, this club is not affiliated with the Blue Note chain of clubs. It's a cool place, which is why I went often, but the cigarette smoke back in the 90s was really bad. I don't know if they still allow it in there today. I don't know what year this is from, but I think it's from 1994. I wish I could remember what show I saw from this list of great shows. For some reason, I think it was one of the shows Mike Ledonne did with Eric Alexander on Tuesdays. But looking at it, it may have been Harold Mabern.
  15. If you're curious what was on their beer menu back then, here it is... but might be tough to read. In Seoul, there was (and still is apparently) a nice club called "All That Jazz". I was a little nervous going in to see a show there due to the name of the club, which is also the name of a movie which had nothing to do with Jazz (music). I didn't get a schedule from them, but I did meet the manager, Mr. Jin, who gave me a business card. I also grabbed a beer coaster.
