  1. Soul Stream,

    The foot/hand technique is the defacto standard for organists. Those that don't use it probably never had anyone show it to them. I was in the dark until my mentor, Doug Decker, showed me the light.

    All the old school cats use it: It's the Jimmy Smith School of Pedal Playing. McGriff, Holmes, DP, McDuff. Larry Young didn't use much pedals in his later stuff, but he does in the earlier stuff.

    The AMG cat that said Don doesn't use pedals has no idea what he's talking about. Patterson was bad mofo on the pedals.

  2. This is a really wack idea, and I seriously doubt it could possibly be true, but some of Baccus' licks sound a LOT like Rahsaan's. Dorthaan Kirk wrote the liners, and I think Rahsaan produced the date for Smash (a Mercury subsidiary) during the time when he himselfwas signed to Mercury. I have a temptation every time I hear it (and I like it a bit more than y'all) to think that it's Rahsaan doing an organ record under a pseudonym!

    No way that could be, but it WOULD be sort of a Kirk-esque thing to do, no?

    That would be totally crazy. Why couldn't he do it? It's not that hard to play organ! :)

  3. Man, my favorite Don Patterson? That's a hard one. Like you, I love the Prestige stuff. If I had to choose, I would say "The Exciting New Organ of Don Patterson". Just because it contains his version of The Good Life which is the best organ version of that tune ever.

  4. I'm glad to hear it, Saint Vitus! You know, I paid them $30 to set up the online ordering and they also take 20% of every sale which is fine because it costs an arm and a leg to set up the ability to take credit cards from your website. But for that $30 plus $3 that they are making off every sale, I expect the product to be shipped out promptly.

    They were very kind on the phone, I must say. I decided to go with them instead of CDBaby, because CD baby takes a flat $4 from every order. With CDStreet, if you charge less, they take less and you get a little more bread per sale, dig?

  5. Do they really need to have those on fruit? Are cashiers so dumb they can't remember the code for a peach? They have to scan it... which leads into another story...

    Don't you hate checking out at a grocery and something doesn't scan... so the cashier just sits there and tries it 5 MILLION TIMES. TYPE THE DAMN CODE IN YOU MORON! What is wrong with people?

    Also, what's with not saying "Thank You" anymore? I buy $100 worth of groceries and the person doesn't even look me in the eyes, much less talk to me. :angry:

  6. Scottb,

    I actually had to get on CDStreet's case about not shipping the discs. They are supposed to ship them within 48hours. I was pretty upset with the guy I talked to on the phone and it looks like the newer orders are getting shipped rather quickly. Sorry for the delay.

    I emailed Michael Ricci at AllAboutJazz about reviewing our disc, but haven't heard back from him. He's probably inudated with the BNBBers! :)

  7. Got this in the ole inbox today...

    Katie,

        Haven't heard from you in a while, I still think about the last time we made love. You said I had a small penis which hurt my feelings, anyway I would really like to meet up with you again as I have a BIG surprise for you!, that's right I have found a website that promised to enlarge my penis and make it stronger! I didn't believe such a thing was possible lol, anyway now I will be able to fulfil your wild fantasies. Check out the website located here, anyone else you think needs this website send them to it, they are a great team and very helpful.

    So lets hook up!!, write back as soon as you can!

    Good Lord, who comes up with this shit?

  8. Hey, unless I missed it, there isn't a Misc. Music thread, is there???

    That begs the question: Do we want this to be primarily a jazz board, or is it a music board? If the latter, a misc. music thread is obviously not needed. But if we want it to be primarily a jazz board, then I can make a misc. music forum... no problem. Talk amongst yourselves! :)

  9. He said that it was out in the last email I got from him. That would be neat if it's available via Cadence. You could always call them. I believe they have an actual print catalog they can send you.

    I still need to send them 25 of our discs... just haven't gotten there yet.
