Seeing Ms. Bridgewater twice in concert leads me to conclude that she doesn't need anybody's help in overacting. She's often "over the top" and seems quite full of herself. In her tribute to Betty Carter, she spent as much time talking about how close they were and how special was their relationship, than she did singing. If I want to hear a "Dee" sing, it will be Dee Alexander, imo a much more talented and humble artist.

That's one of the saddest things I've ever read on this board.

...Two major jazz figures I interviewed for my book.......Stanley Crouch

Heard about this Japanese Jazz Opera video on the BBC tonight, so I had to do a search. I couldn't believe my eyes and ears! Warning: do not attempt to watch this video while drinking milk! High-velocity nasal discharge may result! Japanese Jazz Opera

So is anti-freeze.

Not sure what your point is, since the original was a fluffy, star-studded, piece of crap as well.

minguslover, Is it a coincidence that you live just a few miles from where jazzloft is located, or do you work there? Many of us are already jazzloft customers, so any deception is both unnecessary and disingenuous, imo. Also, your claim that "they've never had a sale on the full-priced CDs" is false. I purchased several of these titles during a previous sale.

I knew I'd find you here!

That wasn't the Who. There hasn't been a "Who" since Keith Moon left us. Now that was a band!

Scene: Rocky, Bullwinkle, Boris & Natasha are on the deck of a ship sailing in rough waters. Announcer: "Suddenly the ship listed to port!" Boris: "It's better than Muskatel." Count me as another big fan of the show. Imagine my surprise and joy some 20 years later when I dated a Russian woman named...yep, you guessed it.

Didn't watch the awards show (haven't since I was a kid). My thought was, "Well, at least this gives Sangrey another opportunity to worship Beyonce's ass."

I'm beginning to fear bebopbob may have been the victim of foul play.

Of course America fucks jazz. Where do you think new jazz musicians come from? The real problem is that America doesn't call jazz afterward.

Yes, there's a federal mandate stating that you cannot be refused care in an E.R., but that doesn't mean it's free. Jim would be billed in this situation, and he would have to provide financial records (tax records, bank account balances, etc.) to get his bill reduced. Of course, the most important thing here is that Jim's health has improved. Kudos to you for doing whatever you could to remedy your situation.

If you're using EAC, why do you need Roxio to burn a CD? You can burn CDs with EAC and avoid the hassles of using additional software.

Why not buy a used copy for $4-5 from Amazon marketplace?

Yeah! Salt 'n' Pepa be skankie!

= a night in HELL! Charlie Parker's Personal Hell

No doubt about it, the eyes have it!

I thought this thread was going to have recommendations for the use of sea salt. Do you have a recipe for Open Wounds of a Massachusetts Democrat?

I'll start cleaning out my garage this afternoon. We'll see about the job.

Having managed a club in the eighties and performed in clubs before that, I can tell you that it's standard practice to agree on how many sets will be played and how long those sets will be. Written contracts always define these terms, although they may be modified by mutual agreement. That being said, I agree with other people's assessment of Lorraine's behavior.

You're most likely correct, and "aggressive" probably isn't the right word. Honesty is always preferred and Allen is, well...Allen. I just feel there's a connection between what's given and what's received, and that goes for most of us, myself included. Maybe I'm just bitter about the fact that Allen never moved down from "America's Vacation Land" to my "Taxachusetts."

Perhaps if you didn't express yourself in such an aggressive manner, you wouldn't receive this kind of reaction so often. Personally, I like your contributions, but your penchant for the abrasive is off-putting at times.

I own almost all of Chico's recordings, except for the funky/world ones. Somehow I overlooked this 1987 date for the Japanese Whynot label: Chico Freeman Quintet Featuring Von Freeman / Lord Riff And Me (Whynot-Century 32ED5032) Chico Freeman (ss,ts) Von Freeman (ss,ts) George Cables (p) Cecil McBee (b) Billy Hart (dr) Recorded 10/13/87 in New York City Tracks: 1 Blue Baby Do 2 Ballad for Aisha 3 Moments Notice 4 Motherless Child 5 Sneakin Peakin 6 I Fall in Love Too Easily 7 South Express 8 Vonce 9 Bye Bye Blackbird
