A daily bump.

And still is. Other than the unwelcome from the AAJ forum community, it was more than obvious that the owner's focus was on profiting from the product if jazz, not advocating for the music itself. In a way, this place has been a Strata- East of online forums. Here's hoping it stays that way.

Thumbs Up to this (I forgot the excursion to the Great Day site!) ... and didn't the BNBB ultimately cease to exist at all? For a corporate owned BB it was pretty freewheeling before Norah Jones fans discovered there were people who weren't that impressed with her.

I like Myron Cohen now more than ever. You don't hear a voice like that in comedy these days

My memory is that March 3, 2003, or 3/3/03, was the “catastrophic event” date when EMI implemented a reset of the Blue Note board, eliminating about half of the forums, installing clunky censoring software, and making other changes that deeply alienated the core community. There was a mass migration to AAJ that soured quickly, then another to a bulletin board on the Great Day in Harlem website, and finally Organissimo, after Jim offered to retool the band’s existing forum to resemble the BNBB. Iirc Jim Sangrey was an early advocate for making this board our new home, especially because it was run by a musician. That was almost 23 years ago! I sure do miss a lot of the regulars who’ve passed away or departed, but am also glad to see how many of the long-march veterans are still around in the age of Reddit and Substack and whatever else that’s coming along next in the next few years.

Op.18/1 and Op.18/2

Same here. That’s a name from the past. Haven’t heard his name in years. I see that I joined on March 7, 2003.

Wasn't there a s software update at some point that resulted in a major restructuring of some of the tables? Something like that? I know we lost some things that couldn't be rebuilt exactly?

And Maz is still alive!

Check out this website that's sadly no longer being updated or hosted. I sent Pelle a lot of material for his site and it's still very useful though out of date. Feel free to message me. C

Hans - your account is unique. I don't know how it happened, but you joined on March 3, 2003 and you have somehow had your "member id" number changed to 10596, which would put your account creation at December 2007.

I’m sure we’ll take in 2 or 3 games a year — the view of downtown over the outfield is amazing!! I’m on my phone (in St. Louis visiting my dad) — but the main photo on the PNC Park Wikipedia page is a pretty good example… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PNC_Park

Looks awesome Hutchfan! Born in 1990: I am a '90s kid. Definitely a jazz area that got forgotten too often. Some seriously great records were made. Must be a lovely hobby revisiting and reviewing all those albums. Your friend has some serious audio equipment by the way 😱 Definitelt going to visit there. Will you post some updates/reminderd now and then? Some of my favorites from this decade: - David Murray's Special Quartet - Steve Lacy / Mal Waldron - Hot House - Billy Harper - Far East Triology - Charles Gayle - Touchin on Trane - Sonny Sharrock - Ask The Ages - Evan Parker - 50th Birthday Concert - Joe Henderson - So Near, So Far - Andrew Cyrille - My Friend Louis - Myra Melford - Alive in the House of Saints - Reggie Workman - Summit Conference - Steve Lacy - Revenue - Michel Petrucciani - Au Theatre Champs Elysees - Paul Bley - Time Will Tell - Takeo Moriyama/Mal Waldron - Bit - Steve Lacy - 5X Monk 5X Lacy - Abdullah Ibrahim - Yarona - Horace Tapscott - Aiee The Phantom! - Kenny Garrett - Pursuance - Henry Threadgill - Wheres Your Cup - Gary Burton - Like Minds - Geri Allen - The Gathering - Fred Anderson - 2 Days in April - David S. Ware - Live in the World - Vassillis Tsabropoulos - Achirana Some stone cold classics among them

Just checked and noticed that I joined on March 3, 2003, not December. My memory isn't what it used to be.

Don Byas 1944 - 1946 (Complete Jazz Series)

I would like to get in touch with someone who is passionate about Don Chery, especially regarding his live concerts. I sincerely hope that someone will contact me and, above all, that I will be able to find the answer. I can't figure out how to navigate this important site. I hope this is the right place for my question. Thank you.
