Boy, is this the right place to come for proper perspective. Particularly like Colin's comment (especially having grown up in NYC inundated with the perspective promulgated in the NYT article) -- teaching your kids to love music is about so much more than learning an instrument. I try to impress upon my girls just how fun it is to make music without making them feel obliged to learn how to make it. Moreover, it has never been easier to expose your children and loved ones to all of the wondrous things music is and can be. I feel like if I do just that, everything else is gravy.

Currently out of stock but Steve at Wayside says they are trying to get more at that price.

FWIW, I have an extra copy of Inscape/Tableaux (which is as wonderful as Steve relates) if someone wants to buy or trade it.

Zorn was on Terry Gross' "Fresh Air" yesterday. So interesting to hear the man talk about music and his somewhat eccentric lifestyle. A must listen for those who love Zorn as I and I suspect many others here do. Here's the link: http://www.npr.org/2013/09/03/217195249/at-60-challenges-are-opportunities-for-john-zorn

Here's to one of the great composers in jazz and one of the three surviving musicians photographed by Art Kane over 55 years ago.

I'll third Straight Street and add another DIW title "Mabern's Grooveyard" as well. When I lived in NYC about 10 years ago, you could go to Smoke on many evenings and find Mabes there either playing or enjoying (as he was on the night I caught John Patton). As a sideman, he also shows up on a number of terrific Eric Alexander recordings. He's also one of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure to meet in jazz and this thread will serve as a reminder that I need to see him as much as humanly possible given his advanced age.

Regardless of one's convictions about whether or not this is stealing, I think that because of the similarity there are tons of young people who would never have gone out of their way to listen to Marvin Gaye who are going to discover his music this way and imo, this is a very good thing.

Ed, After your terrific Canada music trip post, I personally think you've earned those....

PM on 5 classics discs.

If someone could be said to ooze class, it was Marian. I always took such great delight in listening to her on PJ -- she was like a giddy young girl so full of enthusiasm with every guest I ever heard her with and seemed to so greatly the duets that were a staple of that show. She was also on Bob Edwards and was so charming and self-effacing. I will really miss her.

As far as I know the first Eastern Rebellion album was the one with George Coleman, Cedar Walton, Sam Jones and Billy Higgins; the tracks on the album were "Bolivia", "Naima", "5/4 Thing", "Bittersweet" and "Mode for Joe". Bob Berg came later. Discographically, you're correct - it's just that for me, personally, the band as such started after Berg joined in. Not to say anything against Jordan, I would have loved to see him perform. It's just that my memories overwhelmed me ... Sadly, Berg is also gone now (way before his time). A reminder of the importance of acting when you feel the yen to catch these guys live. I remember going to see Miles at the (then) JVC Jazz Festival in NYC. I briefly had second thoughts and my mom reminded me that "you never know how long these folks are going to be around..." Smart lady. RIP Cedar.

That's actually a pretty modern outlook considering that most of us are stuck on music from the 20's through the 70's. B-) Stuck. Nah -- all of this music was hundreds of years ahead of its time...

Wow. Terrific intersection of talent. What else do you know about this release, Colin?

Ride captain, ride upon your mystery ship.....

Hans -- $10 US for each of those compilations is a steal if one doesn't have those recordings especially given the fine sound. I have only 2 but you've inspired me to go back and purchase the rest of the lot!

I heard Jaimeo on the Bob Edwards show a couple of months ago. Very thoughtful guy and I liked the couple of tracks they played off of his new album. I certainly can see how someone not so enthralled with the spiritual side of this music might be underwhelmed but I found much of it quite moving.

I think that Hopkins' score for 'The Hustler' would also qualify here. It's what I was hearing in my mind's ear when I read your well-articulated description of the 'TZ sound'.

Saw him in Lovano's quartet in Baltimore many years ago. A true master and a gentle giant who should have had many more years of making wonderful music.

"The date for these changes hasn’t been set, according to station managing director Phil Redo, who broke the news to Jackson and Schwartz Tuesday." With a name like that, everyone had to know change was imminent....
