  1. Past hour
  2. ***** Before yesterday's win, Edmonton had lost 13 straight to Winnipeg. ***** *****
  3. House Of Guinness - Netflix
  4. I discovered that I really like French TV. Just now I am streaming a series called "The Wagner Method" on PBS Passport. My French language knowledge comes from a brief class I attended in college decades ago in order to pass a test but I find it challenging to follow along in French and puzzle out the dialogue. I find myself admiring the way French women dress and their relative lack of makeup! The Wagner Method is a fairly ordinary police drama but the scripts are quite witty, full of comic relief, and constantly tease with sexual goings-on.
  5. Re his bass playing - I really like the run he plays on “The Story In Your Eyes”. And while I don’t think his songwriting was nearly as good as Justin Hayward’s, “Ride My See Saw” is a banger
  6. What you don't regard us as real people? Last I checked I actually am a real person who lives in the real world. And in that real world I communicate with other jazz fans on this board (whom I strongly suspect are real people too!). When we sell each other cd's they come in the mail in the real world and are real objects. Regarding us as internet phantoms who don't exist in the real world seems odd and very possibly disrespectful to me. As far as your feud with everybody in the in person 'real world' whose jazz expertise is inferior to yours - maybe it's time to take that chip off your shoulder.
  7. Greetings my good people! Was wondering if anyone here owns the Artie Shaw Mosaic box that would be willing to sell me a cdr copy of disc seven which is missing from the box?? Many thanks
  8. The only cities in the U.S. that are larger than Toronto are Los Angeles and New York. I'd say it's not a small market at all. Unless you're talking U.S. eyeballs only, in which case it's probably got the smallest U.S. market.
  9. Today
  10. Yesterday
  11. I dialed up the Resonance 3CD set to listen to Iron Man via Pandora on my iPhone (on earbuds) on a walk recently — and I’d forgotten it was mono, which I’m not at all a stickler about (or so I thought). But then looking for the Illinois Concert to listen to next, on a whim I decided to listen to some random earlier reissue of Iron Man, which happened to be in stereo — and the difference between the mono and stereo was absolutely stark — something I was surprised I even cared about (but maybe it was partially my hearing it thru earbuds?). Somewhere in a box of discs I eventually plan to trade off one of these days, I’ve got my 1986 US ‘Celluloid’ reissue of Iron Man (which appears to have been the album’s very first CD reissue) — and one of the first 20 jazz CD’s I ever owned (I found it used around 1990, iirc). Any thoughts on the mono-vs-stereo aspects of the Resonance set? I probably don’t care about the entire set being in mono — but “Iron Man” in particular, and the Iron Man album a little more generally — is just about my favorite Dolphy ever. (So maybe I’ll dig out my old ‘Celluloid’ cd and keep it after all.)
  12. I'm talking about in real life
  13. Well, yes, but - isn't this a jazz forum, and isn't jazz some kind of music? 😎
  14. A long while back, I make a rule not to discuss music with anybody unless I know that they know what they're getting into. And that's most people. We can talk about other stuff and we can still be friends.
  15. I tapped my foot every time I saw Brötzmann play. Just saying, doesn't add anything to the "debate" I admit, beyond the old trope of letting each person enjoy the music they enjoy in the way they do and avoid generalisations.
  16. I'm really hoping for an all-small(ish) market Series I don't know if Seattle or Toronto qualify, though?
  17. Most "avant-garde" music is predictable to one degree or another. That's not at all demanding, it's quite the opposite!
  18. "demanding music"? You mean like avant garde stuff? I consider myself a pretty good listener and I don't like most of it. Fun? No way. I'd much rather listen to music that gets me to tap my feet rather than grind my teeth. If a soloist is just screeching at full volumes a la Brotzmann, I do not like it. Noodling? Maybe? We're picking nits and choosing to stand our ground over the definition of noodling? Really? We already lost one regular visitor (Bertrand) over this thread. Are we shooting for more?
