Happy Birthday Zen!

Not entirely related rogue thread at hand, but I thought y'all would get a kick out of this. I don't understand French, but enjoyed the film regardless. http://www.blogotheque.net/2011/10/21/radio-vinyle-archie-shepp/

That is the organissimo poster equivalent of Mel Torme's National Anthem. Very well done. I mean it.

I'm going that route. I really love this music. Which is too say, I like poop with my punch.

My lp has the same problem right at the end of Major Affair. Too bad since this is such a wonderful record. Beautiful music.

I'm learning much more in this thread than I ever would have imagined. Melisma. Thanks Akexander.

I haven't listened to the acapella clips yet, but Jim and Dan have just explained something that I have never really cared enough to take the time to think about so clearly. Thanks for laying it out like this.

In that case GA, generics will be fine, though much less efficient, and sometimes messy.

Or bitch slapping successful jazz club proprietors and the successful jazz musicians who play there. Just tossin' tough darts.

I've had horrible luck. Wish I could say otherwise.

Hell of a stunt. Let's hope she finds an authority figure in her life. Not exactly role model quality, Daddy.

"Right."

Yeah the Smile LPs sound amazing. Quiet. And I'm just blown away by the bass range. I think my amazement has as much to do with instrumentation and arrangement as it does recording, mastering, pressing quality though! Pretty excited about the deal I got on that box.

I'm too sexist for my shirt.

Skid is right. This has absolutely nothing to do with your operating system. I'm fairly certain most everyone already knew that though.

I'll be interested in this. Pristine classical vinyl is available for next to nothing at my local shop. I'm not very knowledgeable about classical in general. I've just been stocking up on every D Gram LPs and boxed sets almost weekly. I've been listening to Tschaikowsky-Karajan with the kids all morning. Perfect for this rainy Sunday. All of which to say, I am almost completely ig'nant (hello elder moms clementine) when it comes to classical.

I went the year that Ornette Coleman and Wayne Shorter, separately, played the main stage. It is my impression that there are a lot more stages/tents now than there were then, allowing for longer performances.

I haven't seen it in a few years, save for an episode here or there.

I can't wait to get back in there. Glad you're hanging on.

Tune in tonight. Bon Iver will be musical guest, featuring a friend Reggie Pace on trombone and percussion. This band is up for multiple Grammys this year. Justin Vernon is employing some serious talent in Bon Iver. People seem to be taking notice. Reggie plays in Fight The Big Bull, Glows In The Dark, NO BS! Brass Band, Etaka, and Bon Iver. Richmond VA is stocked with trombone players, but Reggie is tops. Good skit.

He's in Europe with D'Angelo right now.

Better yet, impulse!.

Could be the album that saves them both. Could be the album that comes between the last one and the next one. How about Blue Note picks up Flying Lotus as house producer and revitalizes the brand.

A friend gave me a cdr of an earlier album a few years ago. My impression was that I was looking at jazz through a Vaseline covered lens. Soft soft focus. Saw him on the Icons Among Us documentary the other night. He came across as a hard-ass with illl-informed opinions talking smack. . His music was hardly featured in the film, but he went from dreads and eyebrow ring to fairly tight during the doc. How would you describe his music?

Probably not good for running is what I've decided.
