  1. Man this thread is hilarious. Did not one single woman weigh in, or was I reading too fast? My husband likes Dylan mostly, and asks me to turn down my music down most of the time, but I've got him to come around to Trane and Duke and some more inside others. He did on the other hand make me throw out my CD crystal boxes and store my CDs in notebooks (which certainly isn't the end of the world) whereas we've got his 2000 films taking up a goodly amount of RE in our lil apt. Course I don't mind that at all in fact cause they're great films, every single one.

  2. Saw them last night at the Jazz Gallery. Montez Coleman is a fine drummer; Sameen Aleem played bass. Those two are about to go out with Roy's quintet, Joel Holmes on piano, to Europe for a month. Last night a great trumpet player whose name I didn't catch played with them for the first time. Only heard a few tunes though, as I was at work til 11.

    Walked in on Every Time we Say Goodbye, which Roberta sings. I believe guitarist Saul Rubin arranged it. He's a beautiful human so if you meanies say anything about him why, I'll... Next was Frank Lacy's gorgeous tune Requiem, with Vincent Chandler on 'bone. If I recall correctly Roy conducted the four trumpets in a showdown here and didn't play. Then he did play his swinging September in the Rain, which he sings. Would have liked to have seen My Funny Valentine, which I think he plays beautifully on Emergence. Though Roy's records seldom capture sound and feel of his live music, I like the sound of this record - doesn't have that digitally dead nonbreath of so many new discs. I like the last tune, Depth, as well.
