Chris, I never claimed Letterman "has an interest in jazz." I only sought to rebuke dale's wild accusations. On the face of it, Letterman appears to have no more or less interest in jazz (or whatever passes for "jazz" in the general public) than do other hosts of similar shows. I agree that it's a dismal situation all around, but to single out Letterman is preposterous. And to answer your previous question: "Herbie plays jazz? When did he resume?," it had to be sometime after Thursday, August 27, 2007. I saw him that evening at Chicago's Symphony Center, ironically on what was billed as the opening night of the Chicago Jazz Festival. I assure you, it wasn't jazz I heard coming from the stage, at least not during the first three or four tunes. I can't say after that, because I walked out. Hell, even the representative from the concert's sponsor, the Chicago Jazz Institute, offered an apology for what Herbie did that night !

No, I won't. You have no history here that would earn you that kind of trust. Lots of people (actually, most people) don't like or understand jazz. You've obviously got a chip on your shoulder to claim that someone "passionately HATES jazz". Speaking bluntly, put up or shut up. Or at least contribute positively to another thread.

What about Wynton Marsalis, Tito Puente, Quincy Jones, Fathead Newman, David Sanborn, David Amram, Melody Gardot, Diana Krall, Esperanza Spaulding...? Now tell me about the scores of jazz artists appearing on Leno, Kimmel, and the others. So Letterman's responsible for the plight of jazz musicians? How do you feel about Elvis? The Beatles? synthesizers? new age music? recorded music in restaurants? And that's the nature of comedy. What's humorous to one person might not to be funny to another. I think Letterman's remark is funny, you don't. The same thing applies to "jazz". You might think what I like is crap, and vice versa. As my dad says, "Fahgettaboudit."

Sweeeet! Great sound. Thanks for the heads up RJ.

That was wow and flutter? I thought it was the weed.

I contacted eMusic after reading and corroborating your post. They said they would look into it, yet today I see they put several new 1201 titles on their website, again with tracks missing. They claim the record company is responsible for the error, but it's their decision to keep selling incomplete albums. It is indeed the label that decides what to put up, how much to charge (for album-only downloads), and what to "fix" or not. What you say is indeed true, but what eMusic sells is up to eMusic. Knowingly selling something that is incomplete is just plain wrong. On a more positive note, check out fellow board member David Weiss' latest release Snuck In. A live date featuring David on trumpet, J.D. Allen on tenor sax, Nir Felder on guitar, Matt Clohesy on bass, and Jamire Williams on drums - it's a burner! And it's only 5 credits! ::

Yes, thank you.

Hi Chris! I recently got Joe McPhee & Survival Unit II - At WBAI's Free Music Store. The notes state that you recorded that date while you were manager of the store. Would you please share some of your recollections of that date, and/or what the Free Music Store was like? Thanks.

Maybe now. But once the father is no longer his son will probably kick the bucket before long too... "BULLSHIT!" SAYS THE INFANT'S 12-YEAR-OLD BROTHER.

New? It originally appeared on Muse and was reissued on CD by 32Jazz.

Personally, I consider the BN logo to be rather boring and unimaginative compared to other labels of the day. The music is another story.

Yes, and yes.

Argue's Society will be appearing at this year's festival in Newport. Looking forward to seeing them, along with quite a few other artists.

It's a thread about sound, not music. I stopped buying remasters a few years ago and have since discovered a vast and rich world of creative improvised music. To each his/her own.

While you're at it, how about explaining Tangerine Dream's popularity? Oh yeah, now I remember.

Maybe he thinks he's someone else.

So then, why does this person who filed the suit say:"We request that all payments be made via credit or debit card through paypal" to participants wanting to take her 2010 pet photography Workshops?

And not a cigar! Actually, the good doctor is correct. Dean's character, Willard Whyte, was not Bond's enemy, but an ally in Diamonds Are Forever.

I was too young to enjoy The Jimmy Dean Show, but I fondly remember his role as "Josh" the fur trapper on one of my favorite programs, Fess Parker's Daniel Boone.

Star of Stage, Screen and Breakfast Table By STEPHEN MILLER Singer Jimmy Dean drew on his fame as a country-music and television star to create what became the biggest-selling breakfast sausage brand in the U.S. Mr. Dean, who died Sunday at age 81, scored gold records with such songs as "Big Bad John," a spoken-word pieceabout a doomed miner, and "I.O.U.," a mushy tribute to his mother. But it was the sausage business that made Jimmy Dean a familiar name in kitchens across the nation. Mr. Dean's homey, unscripted ads on TV and radio boasted about how his sausage was made "from the whole hog, not just the leavings." The business grew rapidly from Mr. Dean's home town of Plainview, Texas. He told interviewers he got into meatpacking as a hedge against the unpredictability of a show-business career. "If you saw my act, you would have realized that diversification was imperative," he told the Washington Post in 1983. Wal Street Journal

Tradition, or superstition? A good announcer (increasingly rare these days) can highlight the drama of a situation like this without interfering with the course of the game. I mean, it's not like they're interviewing teammates during the game, after all. My biggest gripe is that too many sportscasters talk incessantly, ruining the tension normally created by brief periods of relative silence as the pitcher looks for the catcher's signals, eyes the base-runner, stares at the batter. In addition, you're visually bombarded with every statistic and TV special effect that's available. Remember, Miles said the space between the notes was as important as the notes themselves. The same applies to baseball, imo.

If you wish to burn a CD, why rely on a download service or a media player to give what you want? There are several CD burning software programs available that require little space on your computer, offer you the control and options you want, and best of all, are free. Check out http://download.cnet.com, choose PC or Mac, then click on MP3 & Audio Software and then CD Burners. There you can get an idea of what's out there and what the editors and/or customers think.

Can someone please provide me with the following information about Red Garland's Galaxy LP Stepping Out (GXY-5129) 1. Producer 2. Engineer(s) Thanks in advance!

Intended or not, your comment sounds rather flippant to me.
