I really like this one. Good luck Hans!

The only reason I own a BluRay player is because it streams Netflix. I wonder to which advantage this trojan horse scheme will prove.

Nice to see George Scala's name mentioned. He lived in Charlotte when we were living there. Really nice guy. He had me over to listen to music. Man, time flies. This must have been 12 years ago.

In my experience with mice, where there's one, there are a dozen.

Did Wynton sign it?

Get snakes.

I liked the. Fine from what I can remember, but salty.

John Zorn Spy vs. Spy Scott Clark 4Tet s/t

Jason Scott (tenor), Bob Miller (trumpet), JC Kuhl (tenor), Pinson Chanselle (drums), Frank Rosaly (drums), Josh Berman (trumpet), Reggie Pace (trombone), Pandelis Karayoris (Rhodes), Matt Bauder (tenor- tone and stylistically), Nate Wooley (trumpet), Bryan Hooten (trombone), Scott Burton (guitar), Brian Jones (drums), Keefe Jackson (tenor), in no order off the top of my head. Does Pandelis fit age requirement? If so, plenty more names spring up!

Glad to hear it. It's easy to do (taking shit too seriously).

Fasstrack, these boards are cyclical. This particular board was started in 03? We did all of the appreciation threads bak then and even before that at bnbb. Every once in a while one will make it's way back up to the top of the list, but the posters here have moved through all of that and are communicating on a much more nuanced and personal level at this point. This exact thread ha been done before. Worry not. In three weeks, five months, whatever, jazz will still be here and we'll still be talking about it. Hey. At least someone is talking about it! From my pov, jazz is alive and well. I'm 34. Most of my friends, musicians and audience alike, are even younger. Wynton/Clapton, BELIEVE ME, isn't going to change anything, for better or for worse. Completely irrelevant to everyone I know, except here so far. Not a peep elsewhere. Same goes for Most of the major topics around here.

This is organissimo.

So... do or don't? I think that's what we're all trying to determine.

Dan, if you hear cracking, you might want to try a static brush, or cleaning your stylus with a small slice of magic eraser before playing the record.

Happy Birthday GHF!

The phrase "it's not entirely semantics" is semantic.

In a different context, I have a serious problem with child pornography and I have a serious problem with a lawyer who says Bill Barton has not admitted his guilt. It's over. He has come out with it. Semantics.

Nothing left to say about the music? Here we are. I Remember Clifford's Thread.

I've never knowingly heard him, and now probably won't take the time to check him out. So take that Rosie.

Maybe it is because I am not gay, but I just can't see people caring at this point. In what historical context does it matter? I know most of you guys are from a diffenrent generation than I... nevermind. I have no idea why you think someone's homosexuality is important. Your open-mindedness feels as ignorant as my dad's close-mindedness.

hahahaha! I'm told that a lot of jazz musicians were also black. Can anybody confirm? So far I have Miles, Coltrane, Monk, Ellington, Basie, Bird, Armstrong, Kenton. And those are just the well-known names! Anyone else you can think of that might have been black?

Are we supposed to read between the lines here? "Most meticulous researcher"? Is it ok for me to say that Larry Gusshee is gay at this point, or should I wait until he's been dead and gone for a while? I'm goug to go ahead with it. Larry Gushee is gay. Allen Lowe told me on a message board. What? Irresponsible journalism? SFW?
