I've never heard of sharingthegroove.com. I'll have to check it out. Sounds too good to be true (Wes/Coltrane)!

Same here. I really started delving into jazz music about five years ago. For the past almost two years now, my perception of music has been less serious. I realized again that even pop music can have redeeming qualities. Pop is just one example of course. Another thing I realized was all the good rock music I missed out on. I've still got decades to check out, entire decades, including the ones I've lived through. Someone I've really grown to admire greatly is Jeff Tweedy. His affiliations are incredible. There's a lot of great music out there, that's for sure. Ain't all of it jazz.

Slow down Rooster. You can order a copy directly from Chuck Nessa. I'd recommend it. Snurdy McGurdy is a highlight of my collection, much less 2003.

Peter, I received this for free through BMG and I'm upset that I used one of my free CD picks on it. It makes my skin crawl. And all that production... Can you talk a little bit about what you like about it. Maybe I can listen again with certain positive elements in mind. Thanks.

That is a good suggestion. Maybe I will have the strap replaced with a chain, if that's possible. The strap was a thin strip of leather, a thin strip of nylon, and another thin strip of leather. The problem that I've had with the DW's and other pedals is they seem to have too much bounce. Often, I get a flutter out of the thing rather than a kick.

My suggestion is to go to a store with a fairly large inventory and test out pedals (and you should be sitting when testing the pedals. ) It works best if you can hook up the pedal you're checking out to a bass drum. Do I sense sarcasm? If not, thanks for the advice. I like many of the UFIP cymbals I have played. A couple of friends and I used to swap cymbals back and forth, so we'd always have a decent variety circulating. Right now all I have up here in Rhode Island is this HUGE, dark, droning Zildjian ride. In large black cursive magic marker, it reads "Sold J Black." It is a terrible cymbal, but I like it for some reason!

I could use some suggestions on a bass drum pedal. I've been using the same old "no-name" pedal for the past few years and the nylon strap finally snapped last week. I'd bet the pedal is from the early 70s probably. I've played some of the DW5000 pedals, but there are so many options! Any suggestions?

ps I think its high time I revisit Love Cry Want.

I think this is a killer session that only solidifies as the sequence progresses. I love to listen to this in my car at high volume. I was a little shocked the first time through "Mothership," the title track. Lee Morgan's solo seems a little weak to me. He comes out of Herbert Morgan's solo with a mimic and seems to lose his momentum and eventually his confidence. I'm not a musician, so I could be missing something, but the tune loses some steam when Lee plays there. Again, I am loving this session! I want more Larry Young.

I had a bloody mary while supervising the turkey-fry, followed by a glass of Gumdale Merlot with the meal, followed by a couple of Yuenglings while learning Madden 2004 on PS2, a couple of Miller Lites, a game of 8 ball, and a game of dirty cricket. I think I like video games. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. A good day it was.

Elvin Jones

True... I just saw Baby Dodds solo drums and got excited.

This is it, right here: The Atavistic track listing is different, but the idea is the same. Excellent, excellent, excellent.

One of the first "jazz" CDs I ever owned. I lent it out three or four years ago and haven't heard it since. This just reminds me how much I miss it. I'll have to make an order soon!

The Shocking Return!

OK, so it is possible that Bill Evans set up on the right. Anyone else seen a piano trio at the VV? Thanks kh.

I was just reminded of THE FRESHMAN, starring Matthew Broderick and Brando. What was the name of the "practically extinct" meat eating dining club?

I'm not sure if I have my terminology correct. I will try to explain though. I am listening to the K2 remaster. It sounds beautiful. The piano is in the right channel, bass in front of the left channel, and kit in the back of the left channel, as I hear it. It dawned on me that when I was there last December, the Geri Allen trio set up exactly opposite. Geri was to the left, Billy Hart to the right, and Buster Williams right of center. I am wondering if piano trios generally set up one way or the other at the Vanguard? Or is the Bill Evans recording inaccurate in this respect? Thanks.

Larry Young .:. Unity A group this powerful deserves the most realistic volume your stereo can achieve. Larry Young .:. Mothership I am loving this disc. Open it up! Miles Davis .:. Bitches Brew Full effect. John Coltrane .:. Ascension Whoa. Dead Meadow .:. Shivering King and Others It is just so hard to believe how great the guitars sound. The louder, the better. ROCK THE F OUT. Stereolab .:. Dots and Loops Like aloe vera for the ears. Please, do turn this up. Thank you.

That is a good disc, Blues... unfortunately, every disc after this that I have heard from Kenny Garrett has been a little soft. Some decent tracks on Pursuance, but I think I owe that to Metheny's guitar tones!

I just ordered IN OUR TIMES from Chuck! I was unaware of this album. Thanks for the heads up!

Those Spaceways Inc. albums didn't stick with me for some reason. I can't remember why. I kind of wish I had them so I could go back and listen again. I'll recommend another V5 recording, ACOUSTIC MACHINE. Recorded in 2001, 2+ years after Simpatico, ACOUSTIC MACHINE is a another series of dedications to musicians (Shepp, Getz, Prez, Hemphill, Elvin Jones, and others), with short compositions dedicated to Morton Feldman interspersed.

That was my next recommendation! I was waiting for Al Jones to drop in with this one. Here's another one I think he'd recommend! Brötzmann (reeds), Kessler (bass), Drake (drums)

We were blasting "Yes" in the car on Saturday night. Excellent recommendation!

By the way, my initial thought WHICH I WOULD NEVER POST TO ANYONE EXCEPT IN JEST* was "Why doncha ask yo momma? " *This is a GENUINE DISCLAIMER, which protects the poster from any and all hurt feelings, insulted fellow posters, etc. etc. The "Should Jazzmoose be banned thread" will begin approximately thirty seconds after Impossible reads this post. Be there. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SNAP! If it weren't for that disclaimer and the smilies, you'd have found yourself in the gauntlet. You moose are all alike.
