Is that a guess on my pic? no, it's not James Brown. but i can see how you'd get that

sorry thought it would be easier... hints: afaik, he usually does not have a beard (maybe that's why this is hard...). obviously he's a drummer, and while he does have some dates/recordings under his own name as a leader, i'm fairly certain he's known much more for his work as a sideman w/ many 'big names' (those hints will come later if it is still not figured out/they'll give it away). been around for decades, plays 'inside' and 'out.' p.s. - chuck is definitely right w/ Irwin. god bless Dennis Irwin...

i listened this the other day for the first time in over 20 years and it gave me goosebumps - literally: very strong feeling/vibe of my high school/pre-highschool days came back to me heavily. everyone (or i assume at least most folks) has that experience w/ tunes now and then. this one did it for me the other day big time. this, imo, also happens to be a great tune that still stands up and i'm now listening to it regularly again. crappy tunes can bring you back as well (unfortunately?). others?

thanks mark. definitely worth it

this little clip is extraordinary: http://www.youtube.com/embed/8OWkEaT8wUc is there a full dvd of this performance? is it with the Lloyd quartet? or Jarrett's group? if the entire performance is like this clip, holy crap... spectacular.

Molly O'Day to her baby: "Daddy drinks because you cry."

any way you could edit/add the start times of these tracks into this post for easier identification? thanks for test always fun.

i googled that bulldog character and, yeah, they do look similar but it's not him...

both great pics dave here ya go:

gotta be stevie nicks and prince

i know i can always count on getting the most up to date info on Woody Allen by coming to the Mahavishnu Orchestra thread but seriously, thanks for posting this. i assume this is a new documentary? Woody is getting on and the more attention paid the better afaic; no matter my, or anyone else's, opinion on his later output, scandals, etc... i'll see if i can get my folks to dvr this so i can watch it at a later date. thanks mjzee...

cool. thanks man

finished it. not for me, but i see how others would enjoy it.

Correct, thedwork! Jan is not the leader on the album, but he is manning the keys. Your other guesses caught similarities I'd likely miss, but they're incorrect. I probably should have written down all the discography info, I just had to check one at a time to see if you were right, hahaha. I'm glad you enjoyed it! i got one! cool. i guess i put you to work looking up that other info. sorry man

by no means sure of any guesses here, but had a good time listening . here goes: jan hammer @ 47:47 and again @ 48:57? this guess is way out there, but a very young mccoy tyner at 52:12 - 54:00? kai winding @ 59:00? mulligan @ 1:04:00? (killer solo!) don't really think it's him, but reminds me of george adams @ 1:07:00 thanks noj

i use Meyer's Gigue from Suite No. 5 in C minor at work often to demo speaker systems. tremendous. he's kind of a freak imo. in the best sense... why and how did they get charlie haden to pose for that album cover photo on a serious note, i'd love to hear an interpretation of these suites by haden. maybe a complete 'pizz' version...

on the recommendation of my step-mom: i'm a bit more than halfway through and i'm not enjoying it at all. i actually rather dislike it, as opposed to simply disliking it in a 'disinterested' way, but will finish it out of respect for my step-mom. we'll see what happens. maybe since i've been reading so much non-fiction for the last 5-6 years i just don't like reading fiction much anymore? could be...

i don't know what that means, but i'm fairly certain it's not good...

L. Ron Hubbard always ate breakfast last. It's science...

This may classify as some more internet forum gobbledygook, but where's your THIRD 'quick and unnecessary' point? oops let's see... 3) Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!

three quick and unnecessary points i feel compelled to post: 1) Scientology is batshit crazy freak-show nonsense. 2) this thread is some classic internet forum gobbledygook.

thank you sir

i grew up watching 60 Minutes every week when i was a kid and a teenager. i always got a kick out of Rooney's bit and thought the program was great. not so much on either account as i grew older over the last 20 years or so... but kudos to Rooney just the same. RIP. when i was working in the Borders Bookstore 4-5 years ago in albany, Rooney came into the store. i was luckily working the welcome/info desk at the moment and spotted him immediately. he was in town for some sort of book tour thingie or other. very cool to speak briefly w/ him as he was very pleasant and friendly. after i spoke w/ him and he went on his way about the store i turned in amazement to my fellow co-workers to talk about how cool it was that Rooney was in our store. none of them recognized him or knew who he was. they were all 10-20 years younger than i. it felt odd. in my mind i was thinking to myself, "You don't know who Andy fucking Rooney is?!@#$% What the hell is going on here?" but i guess that's just how it goes...

I have no opinion, as I've never listened to him. Kevin Hayes was selling this CD at the Kitano, but I opted for a trio recording. did you get his Live At Smalls recording? if so, i'd say money very well spent. totally awesome recording...
