Jim, Happy Birthday!!

... OK, those men with the net can come and get me now.
Then they can get me too.
I've tripped/contemplated/grooved Trane all kinds of ways. -
Happy Birthday, Brandon Burke!

I love Dogon A.D. to death! I enjoy it often.
I transferred my Arista LP to CDR, along with the wonderful track from the same session that was, for some reason, released on Coon Bid'ness called "The Hard Blues". I wonder how the MP3s sound compared to my somewhat flawed original?...

What made you decide to switch to the flaxseed?
No real reason.
Does the flaxseed aid your regularity?

Richard Pryor was an important part of my growing up. He was echoed through my L. A. neighborhood and on the schoolyards as his album, "That Nigger's Crazy" came out, even more than Bill Cosby had been.
I saw all of his movies for many years. He was one of the funniest entertainers ever and very hip, in-touch, and sometimes even inspirational.
"Rest In Peace", Richard Pryor

Another birthday? Congratulations, ghost!

Happy Birthday, Dmitry!

Nero is a really great program if you can afford it. $50 really isn't that much. You can rip audio to numerous formats, you can edit files, you burn and create ISOs, etc. etc. I have it on all three of my computers and have been using it exclusively for years.
Nero 5 came with my drive. I liked it so much that I bought Nero 6 Ultra. Don't think I'll need Nero 7 at this point.

Hmmm... I've given Dance a few listens, and must say that I'm a little disappointed thus far. Izenzon's playing is spectacular, but I wish Brackeen (whose records I must check out!) would play more tenor and less soprano. A lot less intense than what I was expecting, except on the wonderful "Prelude".

I've been drawn to "Dance" since it's original release on LP many moons ago, largely due to the "spectacular" (a good word choice) play of David Izenzon and his sensitive interplay with Paul Motian. Charles Brackeen's thin and high sound is certainly uncharacteristic for him. Some might call it delicate. To me, it's a beautiful enigma in that regard. David Izenzon's presence and a more compelling set of compositions make "Dance" superior to its follow-up, "Le Voyage".

4tet with John Gilmore (Savoy)
"Solo Piano" (SteepleChase)
"Paul Plays Carla" (SteepleChase)
"Annette" (hatART)

I had heard about Jimi Hendrix's early impact in the UK, but a most memorable and life-changing event was when I picked up "Are You Experienced" soon after its US release, brought it home, and placed it on my stereo phonograph. Those sounds went right to my DNA.
I saw Jimi perform at the Shrine Auditorium, at the Hollywood Bowl, at Woodstock, and twice at the Forum...

Over a period of a few years, I transferred almost all of the many worthwhile cassette tape recordings that I had to CDR. Most of the tapes were recorded on various Nakamichi decks, and a few of the later ones were recorded on a Sony deck with Dolby-S. Many of the recordings were from mid '70s - early '80s Jazz Alive and other NPR shows and from long-out-of-print LPs. Most sound quite nice; a few are CD quality. Some that were recorded with Dolby-S, sound better than many CDs. Of course, anything that I kept in a car for any length of time was quite degraded.

I started going to Aron's when I went to Fairfax as well. When were you there? I graduated in 1984.
Class of '71.

The Treniers regularly appeared at my grandparents' Catskill hotel (Brown's) in the '60s. Unfortunately, I could not really appreciate their music back then.
I think that I first heard the term, "poontang", from them.

My wife and I have enjoyed Jon Mayer's televised appearances. He can really play his guitar with a great feel, but I've had problems with the appeal of some of his songs. Sounds like this is the kind of recording that I've been waiting for from him.
Never was able to get into SRV; I'm a stone Hendrix and Buddy Guy fan. Jon Mayer plays from that tasty R&B tradition. Thanks, Aftab, for the heads up.

I went to Aron's a lot when I was a student at Fairfax High, right across the street. They had lots of inexpensive promos back then, and Aron was cool. Tower on Sunset came in around then (late '60s), then Rhino on Santa Monica Blvd... The Music flowed...

Any comments on lastnight's show?
I thought it was hilarious. The ending was classic LD.
GROANS galore (but in a good way ... I think ... )

Happy Birthday, DTMX!

Seems like all the leaves from the many maple trees in the neighborhood, including my own, end up in my yard. The leaf-bearing winds have prevailed against my household every year (except one) since 1979.
