  1. Working on converting an interview that was just aired on WBGO. I'll post a link. I hope yall will check it out. My bro is getting press!
  2. CORRECTION: This show is TONIGHT, Tuesday 7/21, and is being broadcast live by WBGO on All Songs Considered.
  3. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.p...oryId=106739062 WBGO will be live broadcasting the performance tonight.
  4. Do your thing. A horn player having a seat during someone elses solo seems perfectly reasonable and respectful to me.
  5. I gotta say how much I LOVE this thread.
  6. isn't johnny cash the guy that river phoenix's brother played in that movie? remember that dude?
  7. I know 7/4 is playing across the bridge tonight... This show is all but sold out as I understand, but I thought Id post anyway.
  8. Hey, I think I understand. I haven't been buying anything for months. It feels like a year. I haven't felt inspired to seek out and buy new music in a while. Aside from the music made by people that I personally know, I've been on hiatus. Not intentionally, just the way it is. The few times I have been through phases of disinterest, somehow, early free jazz makes its way back into my stereo and I am rejuvenated. It has been a while.
  9. We tried to get there in 1998. The trains were over-capacity and we decided to try Cadiz instead. Ended up there for days, enjoying the beach life with a community of gypsies that we met in the plaza.
  10. Where was everyone when James Brown died?
  11. in. for now.
  12. Here's an idea... click here

    I consider the Horace Silver Trio and Herbie Nichols Trios in the same echelon.
  15. 32GB! That is seriously impressive. DD3? Mac Pro? What software are you using? Sorry to geek out, but DAMN!

  17. I can't imagine him winning this, or even trying. I'd say that they are alike, but not *the same*.
  18. Peter, Were you able to make it out to the gig?
  19. Let us know!
  20. Hello all. This is a recommendation on my part. The trumpet player, Danny Blankenship, and I were in middle school band together under the spirited tutelage of Bernadette Spencer! I stopped playing trumpet after middle school. Danny went on with it and attended Peabody, the New School, and Queens College Aaron Copeland School of Music. I have only seen him a handful of times since graduating from high school, and had a blast playing with him at my brother's house one drunken night a few years back. Of course, he is on an entirely different level of musicianship that I, but we had a good time anyway. Check there site here for a sampling of what they do: http://www.theflail.com/ Dan Blankenship (trumpet) Stephan Moutot (reeds) Brian Marsella (piano) Reid Taylor (bass) Matt Zebroski (kit) So if you are in Philly and don't have plans for tonight, hit up Chris's Jazz Cafe! Hell, if you do have plans, consider changing them! June 10 Chris's Jazz Cafe Philapelphia, PA www.chrisjazzcafe.com Same goes for NYC tomorrow night: June 11 Smalls Jazz Club, NYC www.smallsjazzclub.com Boston on Friday: June 13 Lily Pad Boston, MA www.lily-pad.net and for our friends in Paris, next Thursday: June 18 College d'Espagne, Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris Paris, FRANCE www.colesp.net and in Lyon on Saturday evening. June 20 Hot Club Lyon, FRANCE www.hotclubjazz.com Report back! I'd love to hear your impressions of the gigs!
  21. Safari 4? Worth a shot. Apple claims it is the fastest browser ever, with significant margin. I will check it out this week.
  22. A quick update... I put in an order for the Buffalo NAS. It should be here tomorrow. I have had NO problems with the drive since the first post... Still, it was enough for me to purchase back-up. This is an upgrade in speed, it is a file server, I can install SqueezeCenter directly to it, it is twice the space of my largest drive, and costs less than my 500 did a few years back!
  23. Happiness! It does exist!
  24. Beri, you might want to contact your county's cooperative extension. It really is an amazing resource. Rostasi is right. DE and nematodes are generally a great solution for any yard that is out of balance. There is no magic bullet. It really is a matter of bringing the ecosystem back into balance. This doesn't happen in a week.
  25. Don't get me wrong, I really like the way he plays. Quite a bit actually. I am infatuated with the vibraphone and work at a four mallet technique myself. I saw Shevitz (much easier to type!) rehearsing with Bill Dixon and Exploding Star one afternoon before the Chicago Jazz Festival performance. There was another vibist there that afternoon as well. I can't come up with his name. Anyway, we listened to them freely improvise in trios, quartets as Dixon signaled to the musicians. Shevitz' playing that afternoon was brilliant. He was absolutely fantastic.
