Jazz Kat

Man, I gotta check Tunisia out in my fakebook, see what I can do with it.

jam=practice not food!

Wow, kool! I guess you now know my life. jam computer jam computer jam comuter jam computer jam computer jam computer GIG jam copmuter jam computer

What musicians are on Contrasts?

The way I see it, Buddy made three landmark recordings. Swingin' New Big Band The New One! and Big Swing Face The rest are all good, just not essential. Keep The Customer Satisfied and Mercy Mercy come in third and fourth.

You'd be surprised what I could find at my old vinyl shop, but I'll take your word for it.

Sonny Rollins, Way Out West.

On vinyl? I'd say yes. I do not think it is in print. Good luck finding it in a used shop. Try eBay if you want it quick. Well with vinyl shops, its all upon luck. Whatever album might be 'rare' or 'not rare' doesn't really come into play. You gotta rely on these old kats bringing in their old lp's which they do not play anymore, so maybe this album might show up.

In the words of Jimmy Smith, "Use the God Damn pedals!"

Mundell Lowe, Tribute to Nick Ceroli lp. (1985)

Mike, i dig your avatar!!!

Thank you b-3 er.

Is this a 'rare' album, to an extent? I will probaly have to order it? Is it my best bet that I wont find it at Borders? I should check out some vinyl stores.

Thank you. Was wonderin' how the album sounded.

Can someone tell me what happened to the Grant Green, I Wanna Hold Your Hand, thread?

And thus, my original assumption as to the ulterior motive behind this thread is confirmed. Oh, I'm not aloud to not like someone? Probaly. I guess the Norah Jones thread is evidence.

Who was it on here who said, solos for drummers are not , a 'bonus?' I will have to agree with you. Espcially if you're a jazz drummer, you might not know when someone in the group will tell you to solo. My first gig, we were playing All Blues, after the bassist took a solo, he shouted out to the guitarist, "Let's give it to the kid!" (meaning me, on drums) If i had no training soloing, i would be very lost. Soloing is a big part of jazz drumming. Let's face it, if a jazz drummer never soloed, it probaly will get boring. Or at least, the drumming.

Whatever avatar I have at the moment, is the album I'm digging most at the time, or I am going to buy it soon.

Well, I guess I wanted people to describe it to me also.

Cool. I'll have to get some do up to get some cd's. I got about 10 albums I'm thinking about.

I don't know if this has been discussed here. You guys like Apogee?

Hey yo' people. You know what attracted to Grant Green's I Wanna Hold Your Hand? The title. I guess Green took the same Wes Montgomery route, which I do like. What are your thoughts on this album. I have not yet listened to this date. Did Green sell out for this one? OR is the title mis-leading me, and it is actually a nice blowing session? What are the highlights?

Lack of jazz? This has been a problem for years. I have learned to just throw on a cd, and not wait for radio stations to play any decent jazz, cuz they don't!

Well I don't have to worry about sorting different musical styles. All I got is jazz albums. But anyway, unless you're a DJ or someone that needs their cd's real quick, what's the point. So when your friends come over , they can say, "wow, u took the time to alphabetize all your cds?" Or you're hoping to be on Jazz Pads, and when you show, to the camera your cd collection, you want them to look neat?

OK, who made the longest song? I'd say either Ornett Coleman who had one full record, that consisted of one song, or JOhn Handy who had a 30 minute song, I forget the title.
