I'm also looking for a branch to grab onto! Please PM me if you are interested in sharing!

I've heard good things about Laviso, the electric guitarist. I didn't realize that Pharoah Sanders was on this. I also didn't realize Hamid Drake was on this. Is there another drummer as well?

I was very fortunate this weekend. I came across some great threads on lp this weekend, some of which were original 47 W 53rd! Vinyl rules.

I thought it was supposed to look like a Buddha.

People said the same thing when Wake Forest required incoming Freshmen to buy laptop computers. LAPTOP COMPUTERS? You've got to be kidding me. I'd imagine Apple and Duke IT have more than one practical use in mind for the iPods. It will be an interesting experiment.

I bought the dub box for a friend, who said a lot of it was old... not sure what that means, but it sounded like he was refering to recording quality.

Wow. Thanks for the heads up. Many of these sets are fantastic. I can't imagine any of them actually "suck." Go with the Rocksteady set for starters. Excellent.

I waited years to finally buy an iPod. Got the 20GB. Five months later, price drop. I will tell you this. I wouldn't have considered any other MP3 player. I've never even heard of half the manufacturers out there. As far as I'm concerned, there still isn't much competition out there for the iPod. It is a thing of beauty.

Off-topic, but the two year old comment reminded me of this. I watched the movie ST. ELMO'S FIRE the other night for the first time, all the way through. Don't ask why. The scenes where Rob Lowe plays rock saxophone made me say out loud to my wife, "No wonder people hate the saxophone." On top of that, what a TERRIBLE movie! Wow.

I don't know too much about McPhee, but I do know this. Cranking Tenor/Fallen Angels on the stereo in an empty house can be a very meaningful experience.

It does! Go to Preferences. Click "Enable Tabs." You've got to be kidding me! I'll take a look when I get home! Thank you!

Definitely has a cool name! The one thing I liked most about the latest version of Netscape was the tabs. I wish Safari had tabs, because everything else about it is great! Thanks Chris A!

Looks great in Safari! Well done deus!

Saw mention of this in Cuscuna's liner notes when I re-read the Rivers Mosaic booklet last night. It was a Left Bank gig; has it ever surfaced on tape? I contacted Joel Dorn regarding this date a few years back when he was releasing the Left Bank recordings on LABEL M. He called me up and told me that he had no plans to release it. It sounded like he was having trouble with sales at the time... Thanks for the post Mr. Robinson!

I have nothing to do with it! I just came across it last night. I wonder if there is mention of this project elsewhere on the web. The description on the site leaves things open to interpretation! music.com looks like it has some serious potential.

As an aside, the Rhode Island Auditorium is now known as DUNKIN DONUTS CIVIC CENTER. This state is owned by donuts.

I pulled this thread up on a search for more information on LARGO. I heard a track on the radio the other night that really hit me pretty hard. I had no idea who it was until the dj announced that it was a cut from Brad (still can't spell his last name, where does the h go)'s LARGO. Sounded really gritty, to me. On a tangent, I read that the same guy that arranged the aforementioned Radiohead covers album is doing a similar project with the songs of Elliott Smith.

http://www.music.com/ Sometimes I type in random url's just to see if anyone owns them, what's there, etc. Yeah, I know. Get a life. I had a slow desk job a couple years ago and we would try to find the most outrageous sites. I no longer have the slow desk job, but we do have a wireless connection for the laptop at the house... I'm watching Extreme Makeover on TV, watching an eBay auction, and searching for the next great music website. Tonight, I was thinking about the whole allmusic.com disaster and thought now would be a great time for someone to offer an alternative site in the great American competitive spirit. What is the most logical url? www.music.com.

Maybe we should compare this show to other Ivy League shows from the time. I've always enjoyed the Cornell sets.

I.m fan. Andrew Hill's compositions for this session demand some interesting rhythms from the GREAT Roy Haynes! Joe Henderson seems to have been a great choice for the horn player as well! I really like the tenor, piano, bass, drums quartet and this particular date had to have been something new and exciting for other quartets with this instrumentation at the time.

Thanks Brad. I'm just shaking my head.

Richmond, VA (197,456) Wilmington, NC (90,644) Charlotte, NC (580,597) Providence, RI (175,901) I haven't really lived in a big city. The population for Charlotte is misleading. Of the four cities above, Wilmington is the goal. Not a big traffic problem (yet), beaches, intracoastal waterway, and a growing University. I love being in big cities, but I also love knowing that I can leave.

According to the sessionography, Sam Rivers played stateside with the Miles Davis Quintet as early as April. They didn't travel to Japan until July, which leaves a lot to the imagination! Reading some of the recollections above leads me to believe that things sort of finally came to a head between Sam Rivers and Miles Davis during their stay in Japan.

I remember a decent discussion on this band, probably at BNBB. Hopefully Lon will tune in soon. I seem to remember he had a good deal of insight on this period in time.
