So that's what happened!

Medication time, gentlemen.

Could there be a Big Lebowski Boogaloo in the offing?

I can't play Ellington any faster, Chewy! The B-3, I'm giving it all she's got! My God, man! You won't be satisfied 'til her keys are a puddle of polystyrene!

Monkees play jazz.

I had the privilege of seeing Billy perform at the Vision Festival several times over the past few years. He will be greatly missed in that community of musicians and fans. Take the time to check out his wonderful recordings for Soul Note, including Rainbow Gladiator, Invitation, The Fire From Within, and Valve No. 10. You will be justly rewarded. Rest in peace, Billy.

It has been, here.

12 Angry Men, one of my all-time favorites. Thanks, Sidney. Rest in peace.

I'm looking for a copy of the following CD, or a link to a site where it can be purchased, or a link to a music download service that offers the MP3s: Repertory Quartet - Plays Mingus & Pettiford (Music Mecca CD 2097-2) Bob Rockwell(sax), Ole Kock Hansen(p), Jesper Lundgaard(b), Keith Copeland(ds)

As entertaining as they might be, I wish people spent as much time reading and contributing to the Live Shows, New Releases, and Recommendations forums as they do the album cover threads.

Do we have to take your word, or are you going to give us a clip to prove he was a hip box beater? Cartoon jazz ROCKS!

Yeah, well, good luck on that one... While it doesn't genuinely transform a person, I do believe a tattoo can serve as a symbol of an individual's personal growth or sense of liberation from past experiences.

She had her body transformed as a reaction to enduring years of abuse at home. Finding humor and entertainment in another person's misery shows a lack of compassion and maturity.

As a longtime fan of Denmark's SteepleChase jazz label, I've been frustrated by my inability to get any information from their website for the past few months. The links don't seem to work, and their catalog doesn't appear to have been updated in almost a year now. I know they continue to issue new releases, such as Peter Zak's The Decider, but there seeming lack of accessibility has me concerned. Is there a newer, updated website that I'm unaware of (a Google search failed to reveal one)? Does anyone have information about the current status of the label? Any help would be appreciated. Waiting for new releases to just show up on Amazon isn't much fun.

More ridiculousness from the Hoffman followers. The issue of who followed whom has already been addressed. As someone who enjoyed Steely Dan from their inception (and had the pleasure of seeing them live during the Pretzel Logic tour), I consider Gaucho to be their weakest effort. All the edges are smoothed out to the point where there's little of substance or interest to grab onto. Imo, Katy Lied was their last great album, and many years later, I find more of value in their earlier, less polished recordings.

Btw, it's great to hear other people speaking fondly of the Yardbirds. More often than not, I get a "never heard of them" when I bring them up in conversation. And another thing, are people aware that one of my "guilty pleasure" bands sampled the riff from He's Always There for one of their megahits?

No offense taken, Jim, not in the least. I share your sentiment about the history of younger, whiter, richer musicians taking credit for the work of older, blacker, and poorer artists. For me, the bottom line is this: give credit where credit is due, and once you've taken something from someone else, show us what you can do with it. That's tradition. Many years ago, I was asked by a younger musician if it was okay to "steal" riffs from your elders. I told him, "If you're gonna steal, steal from the best."

It's not a big deal, but I would have preferred you said something like, The Yardbirds' "Lost Woman" has one of my favorite riffs in rock, along with "Day Tripper." British blues-based pop combos from that period on occasion took a blues tune/riff/arrangement, put new lyrics over it, and copyrighted it as an "original." I wonder if "Lost Woman" had a similar history? That phrasing sounds less like an accusation, and it expresses your admiration for the tune (something we have in common). Btw, as a ong-time Yardbirds fan, I think it might be slightly misleading to lump them together with the many "British blues-based pop combos". After all, they recorded an early album with Sonny Boy Wiliamson and lost their "slow-handed" lead guitar player as they veered into pop territory.

So then, we're talking about a CDr, not a CD?

I'm confused. From which blues song did the Yardbirds supposedly steal the riff?

Nice. If I'm not mistaken, she's playing an 8-string tenor ukulele.
