don't forget "The Big Heat" (while we're on movies with the word "Big" in the title) -

of course there's the old Sam Goldwyn-ism: "an oral agreement isn't worth the paper it's printed on."

I had the pleasure of meeting two Organissimo-ites in person this last weekend - it was definitely better than a sharp stick in the eye - depends, of course, on how sharp the stick is - but I thankLarry Kart, who mentioned this place a few years ago to me - and who has probably been cursing himself out ever since -

GOTTA HEAR THOSE STORIES! she's great in the movie Loving You (atarring The King) -

I refuse to play Monk tunes - too personal - years ago I appeared in a Monk tribute concert and I just played standards that I'd heard him do and which effected me greatly - Just You Just Me, You Are Too Beautiful, Tea for Two, It Don't Mean A Thing, More Than You Know - made more sense to me - I have co-sponsored legislation to prevent people from performing Monk's compositions -

somewhere there's probably a Martial Solal version - densely re-harmonized -

I can offer any volume of Devilin Tune, 1-4, for $40 shipped, this month - unfortunately all the super-cheapos are gone, but I have a few at slightly older prices I can move - unlike the oil companies, when I get a price increase I don't apply it to older supplies bought at lower prices - prefer paypal, my paypal address is alowe5@maine.rr.com

actually I don't think that and I heartily agree - this is about the only place on the net that I go to the trouble to keep up with any more -

I still think he's laughing at us -

are you making fun of us?

at least Miles didn't try to put his name on Round Midnight -

fun? where's the fun?

seriously, ask Barry Harris - he always used to say that everybody played the whole tune incorrectly -

MAC users need a prophylactic for that Trojan -

I like her - will have to put her on my fantasy actress list along with 'Lizbeth Scott and Gloria Graham -

damn -

it's that long, skinny club -

hot dog! glad you're here -

Roswell is the world's greatest guy, and Verna is terrific - he is also a genius musician. I did a few gigs with him some time ago, and it was like the bandstand levitated - just saw him this past Saturday in NYC and had a nice visit. I can't say enough good things about him both musically and personally -

buy all and any Lennie that's available - just don't, if he offers, drink the Kool-Aid -

"Lowe pleaded guilty this afternoon in Guilford County Superior Court to six counts each of robbery with a dangerous weapon and kidnapping, possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana and possession of ecstasy as part of a plea deal in connection with a series of events surrounding a March 16 home invasion. He also entered an Alford plea on a charge of conspiracy to commit armed robbery and possession of a weapon on educational property in a March 24, 2007, shooting at UNCG. An Alford plea means he does not admit guilt but acknowledges the state has enough evidence to convict him. Lowe is the son of North Carolina State men's basketball coach Sidney Lowe. Lowe agreed to accept the state's plea deal on Sunday, his attorney Locke Clifford said. Court proceedings on the case began at 3 p.m. and at 5 p.m. officials anticipated that sentencing in the case would carry over into Tuesday morning. A Cary psychiatrist testified for the defense that Lowe suffers from a dependency on marijuana and ecstasy. Clifford would not say why Lowe had decided to accept the plea deal. He was originally charged with 20 counts in the two incidents."
