I think it was just the first pressing. Maybe even a limited edition. If you went to the store and bought it the day it was released, you got this issue. It is an art booklet if I remember.

V, I have that too. Is that Taboo and Exile? I can't remember. Time to pull out some non-Masada Zorn?

That's right.

Yeah. It said 'entourage'.

I thought the same thing. Then I had a glimmer of hope that there would be a picture of Peter Jackson in drag. Maybe as some wood nymph or some shit.

At first, I was thinking "isn't Morgan Freeman a little old to be playing Ellington?" I guess I don't usually think of Duke as 64 years old. I think I have this image of him as a perpetual young man. Let's see, if this takes place in 1963, that would make Duke 64 years of age. According to le internet, Freeman is 69 years of age. I guess this is about right. Terence would have to wear a mask to look 60 anything. I'd love to see him play Ellington at a younger age though!

p.s. I have a feeling so many people are looking at this thread is they are hoping for photos!

I could give a shit. I do have a question though. "I will give her credit for the charity work she does but I have to wonder how much of this is for image. Does she do anything without a holding a press conference or have film crew present?" Does it matter what someone's reasons or motives are? Anytime charity work is being done, it is positive momentum.

I'd make sure everything was backed up on a hard drive before I sold my stuff. So far I have about 1/10 of it backed up. No, I'm not planning on getting rid of it, by the way!

One of the first cars I ever drove was a Wagoneer. Drove like a dream, but I'm more comfortable in a boat than I am in a car anyway, so...

Allen, I've been thinking about this phrase for the past few days. Can you explain to me what it means to you? Thanks!

I think Mike is right. He is a keys player.

I think I remember you talking about the Stanton Moore album ALL KOOKED OUT. Walter plays on that, along with Charlie Hunter and Skerik. I don't have the album, but I think Michael Ray even pops up on it. Go here and listen to collaborations between Stanton Moore and Robert Walter. I have that Twentieth Congress album.

The vanguard of a revolution? Ok, wow.

He's been discussed here before. Well-known among fans of the "jam band". Plays with Stanton Moore, members of Greyboy Allstars, etc. What are you listening to?

Thanks for the link Lazaro.

I just made a purchase on amazon last night. This book has been recommended to me by other vibists and I finally decided it would be a good idea to start looking at it. Hopefully it won't focus too much on grip, since I was taught a different grip than the Burton grip that Saindon uses. Here's another book that I work out of from time to time, less so now than a few years ago.

She is very impressive, to me, on the George Schuller disc that arrived yesterday. I posted an image in the "Now Listening" thread, even though I wasn't actually listening to it when I posted. I'll be sure to post more thoughts in the "Yo Miles!" thread some other time.

Please post when this disc has been released. Thanks.

He said doo doo.

And that's ok with you? That the labels are in full concurrence? What about the musicians? Do they get any say regarding the sale price of the album, or is there a clause on page 52 that reads "Sale price may vary anywhere between $17.49 and $5.99 within the first 6 months of release." What is this about? Musicians getting paid for their work or marketers getting paid for theirs? yourmusic.com cuts the price of an album in half, sometimes by 2/3. Do you feel good about that? Do you feel good about the musicians receiving a fraction of the original profit? I bet you've taken that into account already when projecting your quarterly revenue, though. And I'm sure your algorithm also takes into account the fact that a percentage of the musicians' listening audience will not actually pay for the music at all. Which is why you've decided to market the product through yourmusic.com in the first place. It isn't cannabalism at all, now is it? It is survival. Otherwise, there'll be a lot of discs in the cut-out bin next month. I don't know as much about the music business as you guys do, or put on to know. I'm just thinking out loud here. I'm a real live consumer, and I copy music, I sell used cds, I buy used cds, I give cds to my friends, I get cds from my friends. I download from emusic.com, itunes.com, dime. I buy from indie shops, I buy from online megas, I buy from online indies, I buy from labels, I buy from musicians, I buy from merch tables in the back of the club. I buy dusty lps, I still own dubbed cassettes. I am an insatiable consumer and I don't think I'm going to slow down anytime soon, regardless of some thin guilt trip. You assume I am talking about myself. I am not that unique though. I am the target market. BTW, my brother is a musician. He hasn't worked a "straight job" in his life. He sends me mp3s all the time. How else am I going to learn about Willie Rosario? OK, now I am talking about myself.

How does a site like yourmusic.com work into your equation? Is it ok to buy an album six months after release at clearance prices, or should I buy everything I want to hear for $17.49 the day it comes out? Maybe I should buy three copies of every album I purchase from yourmusic.com just to be sure that every musician I want to sample gets their due. I knew this board was comprised of altruistic do-rights, but I am really not believing this one. now playing: burnt copy of Ikue Mori MYRNINEREST sounds great! I am going to order some Mephista next week. I thought they were fantastic live. Worth every penny. Drinks were overpriced, but I paid for them anyway.

I'm not sure what I should do. Maybe take piano lessons. It isn't easy finding a vibraphone teacher. I was able to find a vibist that I could identify with up in Boston and had a few lessons with him. I've got the basic technique down, as well as a few bad habits I'm sure, but I don't know where to go next. I've been learning sheet music one measure at a time and I really think I should pick up and study some technique books. I get the opportunity to play with my brother every so often, which is great, but I feel like he is doing all the work. I get lost and he'll make it sound ok by following me. I should take advantage of the situation and turn it into a lesson more than a jam. He is a great teacher, but our time is always limited and it always feels great to just play. There's my biggest problem, and I've mentioned this to Jim Sangrey before. DISCIPLINE.

Anything in the Mid-Atlantic? Southern Atlantic? I'm parched for good live music down here. Thanks for the disc by the way! Great!
