Scott, thanks for the nice rec. I do see (hear) the similarity. I'll check those guys out further.

This was driving me nuts, but I finally figured it out. The tune is "How Could You Do A Thing Like That To Me" (also known as "Sultry Serenade"). It's usually listed as having been composed by Tyree Glenn, but I've also seen it listed as an Ellington composition. Anyway, now I can sleep tonight.

Holy. Shit. Too bad about the deletion of KB and BK's solos on the one tune (the title is escaping me at the moment), but that closer (I Wish You Love) is dynamite. One of the greatest rhythm guitarists in jazz history accompanying one of the greatest soloists. I had heard about this concert, and hoping it would surface. Big props, Chewster.

The Blue Shadows were a Vancouver, Canada-based band that were only together from 1992-1996. I think this album is one of the best "albums you've never heard of" type of discoveries I've ever made. There are some good live performances up on Youtube, also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsIDyIV9p28 The majority of their material had a country-rock flavor to it, but with an edge. Very good songwriting, nice tight harmonies between Bill Cowsill and Jeff Hatcher, and Hatcher's distinctive and polished rhythm and solo guitar playing. An excerpt from an article about Bill Cowsill, after he passed away in 2006 (his brother Barry had passed away in 2005, a victim of Katrina)... "In the early ’90s, Cowsill joined forces with singer-songwriter Jeffrey Hatcher to form the Blue Shadows. Cowsill called it the best creative partnership of his life. Their vocal blend drew justified comparisons to the Everlys. The pair, along with drummer J.B. Johnson and bassist Barry Muir (who replaced Elmar Spanier), fused hardcore honky-tonk, British Invasion pop, R&B and soul. Acclaim came easy; commercial fortune proved elusive."

Okay, this isn't an album cover, but it's a nice photo, and somebody had to revive this thread somehow, so...

I'm almost embarrassed to say this, but I just became aware of this film (stumbled onto it on Youtube). Overall, it isn't necessarily what I would have preferred to see in a tribute film like this, but it's definitely worth watching, particularly for some rare clips of some great artists from around the world interpreting the music...

These videos. But seriously, good question, even if rhetorical.

I would want to get my money's worth, so I checked my iTunes library for every track I have that clocks out exactly at 10:00. The list... Light And Lovely - Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Buddy Tate, Coleman Hawkins, Arnett Cobb - Very Saxy - Prestige Soul People - Sonny Stitt - Soul People - Prestige Lady Be Good - Kenny Burrell - At The Five Spot Cafe - Blue Note Willow Weep For Me - Stanley Turrentine & The Three Sounds - Blue Hour - Blue Note Medley: I Have Dreamed / The Puzzlement / Something Wonderful - The Mastersounds - The King And I - World Pacific Those Were The Days - Dexter Gordon - Those Were The Days - Moon The Shadow Of Your Smile - Dexter Gordon - The Shadow Of Your Smile - Steeplechase (Winner, although my first instinct was to choose something more upbeat, like "Okie Dokie Stomp") Totem Pole (Alternate Take) (WTF? I'm not settling for an alternate take in a situation like this!) - Lee Morgan - The Sidewinder - Blue Note On Green Dolphin Street - Miles Davis - Jazz Track - Columbia Blue N' Boogie - Curtis Fuller - Jazz Conference Abroad - Smash Lucka Duce - Frank Strozier - Fantastic Frank Strozier - Vee Jay Night And Day - Pete Jolly - Strike Up the Band - Pete Jolly & His West Coast Friends - Atlas

I was listening to this today, and I'm not sure it's been mentioned here (or even on these forums, excepting the "What are you listening to..." thread). Always been a big fan of Einhorn, and also Claudio Roditi. Nice review here: http://www.jazzwax.com/2013/06/kenny-barron-brazilian-knights.html

Lifelong Warriors fan. The Dubs are starting to reach their potential, it seems, and largely without David Lee, who was a 20-and-10 machine for us last year. When he recovers from his hammie, we could be that much more dangerous (assuming they can integrate him into the system that's currently humming along). We beat the Rockets in Houston, so I can see why we're ranked above them despite their better overall record. We don't play Memphis for another month, so we'll see how both teams do until that meeting. It's a long season, and remaining healthy is increasingly crucial in the NBA. Oh, and all roads still lead through San Antonio, who already beat us in our house.

Wow, five years goes by quickly. I haven't added any uploads, but haven't removed anything either. Anybody enjoy any of these videos?

Plenty of rock and pop came before these, but here are some that stand out since I was in college (1975 onward)
