I agree that Jim Hall has been a big influence on many guitarists over the past 30-40 years. I think Joe Pass also has had a great impact on jazz guitarists over the past few decades. Btw, what's with the black hand?

Hopefully some other members will contribute.

Thanks for the heads up, Justin. It's nice to have the opportunity to support artists you enjoy.

I don't believe either of his two albums on Roulette (E.T.A. being the other title) have ever been reissued on CD. His solo release "This Little Light Of Mine" is not to be missed.

John Hollenbeck Matt Wilson Gerry Hemingway The idea that drummers might be less predisposed to be fine composers than musicians that play other instruments is silly.

Mayweather doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same post as Ali. I consider myself fortunate to have witnessed Ali's greatness in the ring, in the courts and in the public arena where he fought for civil rights. There will never be another like him. Rest peacefully, and thank you.

I'm very sorry for your loss. He sounds like a wonderful person and a good friend.

Of the five tracks recorded on March 16, 1961, two appear on Garland's Soul Burnin'. The other three can be found on Rediscovered Masters, Vol. 2. AFAIK, the incendiary solo on Undecided is Trane, not Nelson, from Garland's High Pressure.

I was wondering whether you'd bring this latest bit up. Remember, Apple has not acknowledged that there actually is a problem, only that a very small number of people have claimed they experienced a problem. Furthermore, they are unable to replicate the supposed problem based on these few reports. I think what they will offer up with the planned update is additional information and a clearer set of directions so that people who choose to use Imatch and the iCloud to store and stream their music library have a better idea of what they are signing up for. Hopefully, this will reduce the likelihood that Mr. Pinkstone and a few others like him will make decisions they later regret, and then place the blame on those who gave them a choice in the first place.

wtf?

In fact, I did read all the comments, very carefully. I don't doubt that these people did lose, or lose access to, music files. What I don't believe is their claims as to how these files were lost. I think the article did a very good job of explaining how it can happen. The fact that these people choose not to believe the explanation is not surprising. iHaters are abundant and quite vocal on CNET. The fact remains that if you agree to upload your music library and use iMatch, files that you own will very likely be exchanged for ones that "match" those already in the iCloud. I say "match" because this exchange isn't exact, and in some cases is unforgivably wrong. You trade access to your original files for the sake of convenience - in the iCloud, not on your hard drive. It's your choice, so choose wisely. I will never use iMatch, ever. Most of my files are lossless, and many could be mistaken for something contained in the iCloud. If by some accident or misstep iMatch gets activated, I will delete my iTunes library and restore it with a backup, or a backup to the backup, or a backup to the backup to the backup. Yes, I actually have three copies of my library. With over 2TB (and counting) of music, I'm limiting my chances of a total meltdown. And just so you know, a few years ago I did make the mistake of clicking "yes" to the iMatch option during a routine iTunes update. It caused me a lot of grief, but I recovered everything by way of backups. The important point is that I made the mistake based on my own ignorance. That's a fact that some people find it difficult to acknowledge. Better to blame the person who offers a choice, rather than the one who makes a poor one.

From CNET: When you sign into Apple Music and enable iCloud Music Library on a Mac, iTunes begins matching the songs in your personal library with songs in Apple's catalog. If a song matches, Apple adds its own version of the song to your library. When there isn't a match, Apple Music uploads a copy of your song after temporarily converting it to a AAC 256 Kbps file. The original files stored on your Mac are not converted -- only the uploaded and synced file is changed. Matched and uploaded music is then made available on any device linked to the same Apple ID you used to sign up for Apple Music. But this is where it can get confusing (as if it wasn't already). Any songs or albums you download from Apple Music on a secondary device, meaning Android, iPad, iPod, iPhone, or Mac is just a copy of the original song. And because that copy is now linked to Apple Music, you will lose access to it 30 days after canceling an Apple Music account. However, you will not lose access to the original files stored on your computer. The only way you would lose access to the original file is if you delete it from the Mac it was uploaded from. No, Apple Music doesn't delete your files

And just how do you think they do this?

This claim has been discussed here before prior to the launch of Apple Music. There is no way Apple can delete files off your hard drive. It could conceivably ask if you want to delete the files (presumably after you have uploaded everything to the iCloud), but you have to click the button that says "yes". I don't doubt that once your files are in the iCloud (or in a any other online cloud-based storage system) something could happen to them. It's unfortunate that some people don't fully understand what they might be giving up in exchange for the convenience of cloud-based streaming. It's a similar situation for people like me who use a home NAS to stream music and fail to back up their files on separate drives ( the more, the merrier).

Sad news indeed. His younger brother Jon intimated that Doug had a hard life. He certainly didn't receive the attention and rewards his talent deserved. Rest in peace, Doug. Doug and Jon Doug and Jon with their mother

This 2CD set from Avid states "Special thanks to R. T. Davies" on the back. Does it feature the Davies transfers from the Hep reissues, or does it use the NoNoise-treated tracks found on the earlier GRP 3CD set and the 2004 Definitive reissue? Thanks in advance.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

A simple Google search will provide you with the answer.

Islam forbids erecting structures over graves, although a simple marker or stone inscribed with the name of deceased is allowed. Mr. Sterling's intentions were no doubt honorable, but his ignorance of Young's faith and it's practices is slightly distressing, especially in light of his efforts to raise money for an inappropriate cause.

There's a Firefox add-on called FlashStopper the stops autoplay and gives you a thumbnail instead. You can customize it to allow autoplay on certain websites, or for all sites during a single session. Here's the download link: FlashStopper

If calling them names doesn't goad them into fighting with you, try insulting their mothers.

I understand your dilemma. It's situations like these where I turn to friends who like to "share".

There are other pictures from this photo session. One has McQueen placing the tonearm on the roulette LP. In that photo, the cover to The Atomic Mr. Basie is clearly visible on the floor. I'm still working on the album cover in question.

It was issued in 1988 by Progressive under the title J. R. Monterose Quartet ‎– Lush Life (PRO 7049).
